Better to downgrade to prevent a hack.jpadc said:And hydro electric plants (as is much of our national electric grid) is dangerously hackable and keeping it operational on such dated technology is incalculably stupid -- but its not a relevant caparison as they still produce power and worth the cost of upgrading which is not true of computers (and soon cars).
No computer, no internet. Just turn on the water and let it rip with all the mechanical (analog) controls.
Hydro may get hacked but the engineer will turn off the computer and run the generation old school.
You talk as if life did not exist before the internet. We went to the moon with virtually no computer.
This stuff is not that hard.
