I understand it as the receivers were deliberately attacking their competitors satellites (and that this would effect their performance as it was wasting bandwidth).

Countering in this case would be by making their competitors service as bad as theirs?

I assume in this case it’s DDOSing the satellite,not the other way round?

True

You laugh at someone clicking it then paste a URL shortener link…

Once you have a tower, you can start to upgrade it too. Consoles are all or nothing replacements.

Or things like aluminium smelting/electrolysis.

On crypto, if it’s green energy and there is enough of it, what’s wrong? (It’s not great, and a waste of hardware, but not as awful)

Good for them! Theoretically that should attract industries that need a lot of electricity and everything balances out cost and demand wise.

Did you read the article, they address that and how this detects that (apparently)

It does mention that they send some of these in, and sometimes they get responses back that they are fine.

That covers all of your senior engineers that end up spending more time speccing/investigating things than code.

This kind of tool is probably very useful in ‘fiefdom’ companies where middle managers refuse to fire people because then they lose a headcount, or just protect their cronies. Having a central team that cuts across the company investigating that would be a good idea.

Unfortunately in a lot of cases, I can see people being fired off that even though they are doing other work, just because management don’t understand what they do. Or worse because someone sells the tool as being flawless and they just fire anyone it picks up.

If there was more competition they (probably) wouldn’t be doing this stuff as people would leave.

That’s a much better article, ty

Where was the data processing comment

Does this effect showing derived data to other people?

Something like wandrer.earth isn’t really competing, I hope that’s allowed (and doesn’t block any plans they have)

One I made up for a caster who always missed their rolls was a sentient wizards hat ‘clippy’. “I see you were trying to cast Eldrich Blast, do you need help with that” and occasionally giving them advantage (they really were rolling awfully)

I was bad at RPing it though and that campaign ended shortly after anyway

It works on a beast with swim speed (doesn’t need to be a fish)

That would be wisdom! I tend to let it do that too as it’s funny

A funny one i found on Reddit:

Glasses of hindsight: provide a passive perception of 20 of events suitably far in the past

Be careful with magic items, I let my guys buy a trident of fish command… In a desert. But it turns out lots of snakes etc have a swim speed…

That’s stupid, notepad is meant to be simple…

I put them in the fridge… On top of the egg holder … In their box 😈

I don’t get through many, so putting them there means I know they are probably still good after a couple of months. The box has the best before date to let me know if I need to float test then.

Having one superconstilation up there is fine, my concern is that once there are 2 or 3 of them, the communication between them to avoid each other will become a mess
