Suckers bet, I’m not taking it.

Your sad attempt at an ad hominem rather proves my point.

Correct. You need to read it again.

Read the comment more carefully stranger.

They cannot simply shift them. There are huge regulatory machines that would need to approve such an event. At most they could cut off using some of their band and use less of it, but that comes at the cost of customer service.

A satellite passing over your head will travel about 4,500KM from horizon to horizon (assuming low earth orbit). Turning off the radios over that span of distance would mean entire countries don’t get starlink traffic any time a radio telescope needs that band, and my suspicion is they need them often.

Honestly, we need to get more of these things off earth to continue this sort of research.

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

Ask Texas how that’s goin.

It’s gdp is more that france

Honestly, so long as people keep buying their phones they really don’t care about this kind of stuff. Sure, it was a way to drive up margins for a while, but they will just move onto their next bag of tricks to make it hard to leave.

This can be handled a few different ways.

• You can boot from a HDD and then just not ever write data back to it. This would be the most trivial solution, and it’s something people do with their Pi’s a lot to avoid SD card failure.
• You could network boot, pull the OS from the network at startup. Fun fact, this is how some rockets fly! No onboard persistent storage needed. Everything boots into and runs from ram the whole 10 ish minutes of operation.
• You COULD do a ROM as you suggested, but that’s a LOT of ROM. Seems odd to do imho.

Provided the pressure is maintained from the outside, mine would work fine with a match.

Look for shed like things that connect to taxiways. They aren’t huge and don’t need to be if the aircraft is smol.

They are somewhat common-ish if you know where to look. I fly by one a lot!

Give the rapid churn in their code base these days, I’m gonna press X to doubt that.

What’s the watts-per-search of google?

Right? Let’s see this pass rigorous muster first.

That and insane production budgets. A lot of stream services are dumping hundreds of millions into shows that… Really didn’t need that?

Sorry, I seem to be out of the loop, who’s that and what did they do?

Makes me wonder how long before we see translation AI that approximates your voice. Not great for AAA game, but better than nothing.
