@darwinwoodka The company most famously associated with this was #Hertz. #WrongfulArrest #Lawsuit #Settlement
A widely reported problem involved Hertz mistakenly reporting rental cars as stolen, then failing to remove those reports after the cars were found and rented to other customers. In some cases, innocent renters were pulled over, arrested, and even jailed while driving cars they had legally rented.
The issue became significant enough that Hertz agreed to pay about $168 million in settlements to resolve hundreds of wrongful-arrest claims.

Europas #Stromnetz bleibt stabil, wenn Erzeugung und Verbrauch bei 50 #Hertz im Gleichgewicht sind.
Über das #Verbundsystem gleichen Länder Schwankungen mit #Regelleistung aus. Bei starken Abweichungen drohen automatische Abschaltungen bis hin zum #Blackout.
Der Wiederaufbau erfolgt mit schwarzstartfähigen Kraftwerken. Selbst Ereignisse wie Fußballspiele können die Netzlast um hunderte Megawatt erhöhen.

@atpfm Perhaps to fold into the “metric bit” — let’s do a PSA on everybody’s casual mistake on “hurts” like @caseyliss
Or like this weatherman reading a script about digital transmission: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxGGYK8VNn4BUDg7bZYZ9KnNF53y1e1yMm
This is Dr Heinrich Hertz — don’t worry, he’s 100 years older than you and he only discovered radio waves, but you don’t have to remember his first name, let alone try to say it
You don’t even need to say his last name properly — in German, it might sound like an American says “hats” — and good news, you don’t even have to use a capital “h”!
It’s just “hertz”, but there’s no “hert”. It’s zero hertz, 1 hertz, 2 hertz, however many hertz.
Abbreviation is Hz. (Capital is required).
Out of all of the scientists immortalised into units, I am most jealous for this one — he had the fortune to name a unit of time, albeit an inverse one — but if you’re going to be an inverted fundamental unit, then being an inside-out second of time: that’s pretty cool.
(Meanwhile, the “decibel” named after Alexander Graham Bell is a real mess, a unitless misapplied mess, but if anybody should measure telephonics then it’s pretty cool to be a “bell” just for the nominative determinism) reference: https://youtu.be/U6IKXUUydas
Not Fun Fact: Even though Dr Hertz’s family became Lutheran in the 1830s, decades before his birth, a whole century later the Nasties tried to pull a swift one and change the “Hz” unit into the “Helmholtz”, after another scientist. Professor von Helmholtz had no say in this either, having died a few decades earlier, and might have hated it too — he was into Kant and moral philosophy, closer to Marx if anything.

"#Reparatur zu teuer: #Autovermieter trennt sich von 20.000 E-Autos

Looks like #Hertz have enabled smartphone controls via the Tesla app for their rentals. Smart move for Hertz/Tesla to once again push the technology of connected cars forward.
Legacy car makers need to get their act together to catch up, or they will die like the dinosaurs that power their engines.
