Cell phones get a surprising amount of viable service on flights. If you don’t turn your cell radio off you can absolutely get text messages.

Don’t worry, they’re just dropping off some people to help with the election count.

New round of Russian funding

I suspect you would dump the heat into the Moon itself. You wouldn’t need that much power up there.

Bones, tendons, cartilage those blades would probably be toast after about 30 minutes. The article also mentioned chemical so I’m assuming he tried to do some form of chemical treatment but it wasn’t moving along fast enough.

Yeah between the forced binding arbitration and their claims to wanting to start pre-roll ads, Roku is dead to me, I will never buy another device from them nor recommend them to anyone.

I suspect he vastly underestimated the scope of the job.

Shopkeeper: Oh, hello Thomas, back already? How was that blender? Not big enough you say? Well how big do you need? A whole large coconut you say?

To be honest, well get there too. I only hope that we get into safer battery technology before we have parking structures full of lithium ion battery banks.

It sucked when Crashplan’s home client went under. If you installed the client on two computers with internet access, it would let you set the remote computer as a target. Encryption was done at the source, it had dedupe, versioning. It ate a little ram but it was really nice.

Yep, I tried Tailscale at home… 3 weeks later I started using it at work, so insanely easy.

Test out that Nix, Mine refused to let me install from it when I just shoved their iso in Ventoy.

Someone got a hackintosh running from ventoy on specific hardware

• I’ve been trying to get a x86 Android one working, no luck yet.
• Kali

• Gandalf’s win11PE
• Hirens CD PE (debatably useless in this age)

Yeah I think they’re trying to slide the left toward independents. It’s probably not all that hard with Gaza going on, except for the fact that Trump already spewed that dictator on day one b*******. As much as we’d like more progressive things to happen we’re absolutely certain what happens if Trump gets in and there’s plenty not to like on both sides.

Sure it’s getting cheaper, but is it getting cheaper faster than their need for it?

I’ve always expected their business model was unsustainable probably only able to manage through venture capital and growth.

There’s hardly even any competition, their free product is substantial. Even fully funding a server is barely enough to cover a bare metal node.

This is just the introduction to cost savings. As they wade into market saturation, and still need to provide growth in numbers they’ll need to pinch the free users into paying and pinch the paying users into paying enough to fully fund the service. Of course it won’t stop there…

Edit: FFS dictation can’t ‘their’ it’s way out of a wet paper bag.

Anyone can send anyone with a wallet bitcoin. There are services that do anonymous trades, the feeds don’t look great.

Thing is, it doesn’t have to be bitcoin to be opaque to the banks, there are dozens of payment services that don’t clearly state the end provider. just doing paypal is enough to hide it from an occasional glance.

There are at least half a dozen ways well within the reach of just about anyone.

Google anonymous Bitcoin… I’ll wait.

So tell me, where does the government link the person to the coin? I do a cash trade to buy Bitcoin, who logs it’s me and puts my name on the wallet for the government to track me down?

Just because the dish exist doesn’t mean it’s still being used. You have to do a blanket ban on having the dish at all. And even then they’re kind of tiny and easy to camouflage. You’d probably have to make the enforcement penalty scary enough to dissuade them. Or pay neighbors to rat each other out

How would they know it’s been paid by Bitcoin?

It doesn’t help at all that history is rewritten all the time and is provably inaccurate at least in detail in a lot of cases.

I’m not a holocaust denier or saying the Nazis are any better than what history shows them, but I also can’t in good faith say that history is written in stone while southern US states are banning books right and left and making taboo teaching subjects. I’ve seen pushes in some areas that try to eliminate slavery and push the indentured servant narrative wide enough to cover all slavery.
