Do we have an AI thread? Here’s a nice little video describing what is going on with the destruction of the White House east wing and the construction of the ballroom.
Short answer: It’s an AI data center.

Not quite sure where to put this…
I think it fits in political where it seems like another airport accident where the ATC was potentially understaffed. The impression I get is that the controller was responsible for both landing aircraft and ground operations at Laguardia.
I’d think you’d want the person controlling what crosses the runway to be the same person that controls what’s on the runway. The audio is out there already, of course.
Normally at a busy airport, you’d have at least one controller handling the runways (“tower”), and at least one different controller handling the taxiways (“ground”).
Tower has to pay attention to sequencing of take-offs and landings, while ground has to keep up with aircraft and ground vehicles, slotting them in a reasonable order, etc.
At leas-busy airports, or during slow hours, activity can be slow enough that one controller can handle both Tower and Ground. But if the controller is tired or makes a mistake, and if the planes or ground vehicles aren’t paying attention…
These investigations take a long time but it does look as if the ATC who sent the fire truck across was at fault. Sad that the two Canadian pilots died as a result.

Could get problematic
How much did that cost the Association of American Router-Makers?
I don’t know that there are any of significance. Great opportunity for the Trump family to manufacture them and require all americans to purchase them
There are no consumer routers manufactured in the US. Even the US-based brands are getting their gear from China, Vietnam, etc.
In theory, it wouldn’t. The FCC deregulated to the point that a lot of FCC-regulated gear isn’t reviewed by the FCC for compliance; the manufacturers instead self-certify their gear is compliant…and they are frequently sloppy (to put it politely) when they do so.
The letter of the bulletin, once you translate the bureucratese to English, says that there will be no further self-certification…or at least the FCC wants to have a chat about how to make things better.
However, we’re living in the stupidest timeline.
A similar notice went out about some drones…and the FCC has taken no action to provide the “go forward” process for the impacted drones. A cynic (realist?) might suggest the same will happen with routers.
And then on top of that Carr has publicly said that he wants go-forward approval to be contingent on the tech companies moving router manufacturing into the US…
I’m glad I already have my WiFi 7 / 6GHz gear.

And they were so young.
Surprised this doesn’t happen more often given the stress on the airport system here.

There seem to have been several things that contributed to this accident. Frustratingly, these things are always preventable.
I wouldn’t draw too much meaning from this story, referring to a Florida legislative district…but it amuses me.
