Microsoft shipped the fix alongside 569 others — a record 570 security flaws in a single release. Hundreds of millions of machines are affected. Craig knows why people put updates off — they've been burned before and they're afraid of the blue screen of death. His answer: Microsoft fixed that. There is no more blue screen of death. It's a black screen of death now. Then the story closer to home. Hampden voted against a municipal ban on data centers while New York considers a statewide moratorium. Craig separates the real concerns from the noise: power is legitimate, and studies do show electricity prices rise when a data center arrives. Water is real in Utah and not in Maine, where the water is cold — France had to shut nuclear plants and data centers in 105-degree heat because the water got too warm. His preferred answer is the one some communities have already found: don't ban it, zone it, and make them bring their own power plus 20% back into the grid. Three new-design nuclear reactors went critical by the Fourth of July, and Microsoft has restarted Three Mile Island for its own data center.
