it wasn't a problem before they started doing this

because it's cheap, easy, compact, well understood, and makes numbers look good. number in question is ratio of energy used by entire facility to energy used by silicon only (i forgor how it's called). alternative is dissipating heat from radiators, but this makes this number like 3. evaporative cooling makes this number closer to 1.2
maybe they haven't clocked that if machine manufacturer is in uzbekistan and cargo transits russia then it'll get disappeared in russia and uzbek order was faked
fwiw sanctioned cargo transit through russia/belarus is banned too for exactly this reason
i guess that fb does store keys after all; they do respond to police requests
i also found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/v7tsou/is_whatsapp_lying_about_its_endtoend_encryption/
Encryption in WhatApp is actually a fake, because the encryption keys are generated and stored on Facebook's servers, accordingly, they can read any of your messages as plain text, and the intelligence services obviously have access to them.
Also a few months ago there was a leaked slide from an FBI training course or something where they compared different messengers in terms of how well they cooperate with the police, guess who came first ?
WhatsApp provides data to the police in near real time (about 15 minutes from the time of the request)
The message from WhatApp at the beginning of the chat - that your data is not available to third parties is the height of hypocrisy.
whatsapp is not meaningfully e2ee
sounds like it's not supposed to be a general use tool, but instead for counterintelligence only:
The Ministry of the Interior anticipates submitting around 30 requests per year for the surveillance of unencrypted messages and between 5 to 15 requests for encrypted communications. If there are 30 instances of encrypted message monitoring within a single calendar year, the Interior Minister is obligated to inform a permanent subcommittee of the National Council, which is the directly elected chamber of the Austrian Parliament.
Each surveillance method will require case-by-case approval from the Federal Administrative Court. The process involves a legal protection officer from the Ministry of the Interior, who will have three business days to respond to any request. Following that, a panel of three judges from the Federal Administrative Court will review the case. In urgent situations, an individual judge may grant approval, supported by a 24-hour judicial service system.

broad use would expose its existence and make any 0days useless in short order
i don't know if you know, but tobacco trafficking, at least before war, was a massive activity with counterfeit cigs showing up as far west as UK, and there were multiple groups involved, evidently some less cautious than others. also this article is five years old
in many flats even recently built you don't get three-phase power, just single phase, but building divides single three-phase supply into three groups of single phase circuits like you say (do you really need 20kW in residential flat? one that doesn't use EV charger, built in 90s-10s?) i guess it depends on country also. separate houses tend to get three phase connection where i live
floating neutral will also be a problem in american-type two-phase installation, might be even worse (more frequent) on account of large number of lightly maintained transformers used (why on gods green earth there's few-kV medium voltage line going down every street, americans make it make sense)
Today many of switching mode power supplies accept anywhere between 100-250V
bases of pins are insulated, like in type C/E/F
you don't have to have three phase circuit to be affected by floating neutral in three-phase substation upstream. in some places in us there are 208v interphase three-phase circuits, which give 120v phase to neutral, which is distributed as a pair of wires as single-phase circuit. this is also normal way to deliver single-phase power in europe, as it's most efficient use of conductor. (from 400v three-phase circuits) in case more power is needed than single-phase circuit can deliver, three-phase circuit is installed
if there's switch on device, it's 2p1t meaning both phase and neutral are switched. if it's permanent, non-pluggable circuit, like lightning, it's okay if only phase is switched (neutral is connected permanently)
I think it would be comparable to situation where all mRNA is suddenly unusable, ie protein synthesis can't run at all. This would be something like ricin or diphteria toxin poisoning, but instead of being limited to gastrointestinal lining it's spread all over. I'd guess hours to days before anything visible starts happening (symptoms only start to appear when deficit in new protein synthesis becomes noticeable; all protein already made continues to work for sone time)
