Hack against US is 'grave' threat, cybersecurity agency says
Read full article: Hack against US is 'grave' threat, cybersecurity agency saysThe nation's cybersecurity agency warned of a “grave” risk to government and private networks. The hack compromised federal agencies and “critical infrastructure” in a sophisticated attack that was hard to detect and will be difficult to undo, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in an unusual warning message Thursday. CISA officials did not respond to questions and so it was unclear what the agency meant by a “grave threat” or by “critical infrastructure” possibly targeted in the attack that the agency says appeared to have begun last March. The agency previously said the perpetrators had used network management software from Texas-based SolarWinds t o infiltrate computer networks. Members of Congress said they feared that taxpayers’ personal information could have been exposed because the IRS is part of Treasury, which used SolarWinds software.

Why we have water flow regulations for showerheads
Read full article: Why we have water flow regulations for showerheadsSomehow, amid the myriad of important issues and crisis in the world, were talking about showerheads and water pressure. While speaking at the White House in July, Trump said:So showerheads you take a shower, the water doesnt come out. Since first enacted in 1992, federal law has dictated that new showerheads shouldnt pour more than 2.5 gallons of water per minute. Since these water savings will reduce demands on water heaters, they will also save energy. Some of the new low flow heads are rated at even lower flow rates, such as 1.8 or 1.5 gpm, saving significantly more water.
