Imagine letting an unpaid position on social media “make life hell”

Announce you’re a time traveler sent back…

Super useful when I have a half-baked idea or concept that I want to learn more about, but don’t know the lingo. I can explain the idea and it’ll give me terms to search.

Also, it gives pretty good ideas for debugging or potential fixes.

Not sure i’d ever “trust with my life”, but it’s a useful tool if you use it right.

It really is that simple. I wouldn’t chose it over wired, but it’s still pretty good. You’re going to beat the latency of satellites every time.

If you’re on a boat… fair enough.

Otherwise, look into WISPs… Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it’s super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.

Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they’ll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.

If there aren’t any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They’re always looking to expand.

“Conspiracy to ___”

A line break doesnt have to be electronic only. You just… start a new line on the paper.

If it were somehow legally allowed, the sanitization would be incorrect.

And digg. And reddit. And myspace.

Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.

But- but- inefficiency

Must be a hallucination

It is, but they searched starting in 2025. Skipping this one.

If the car uses 5g, ang 5g is no longer available, how do you connect to a server

Maybe make it based on sales. $X, Y sales, or Z years, whichever comes first.

Obscufating the location of the starlink unit isn’t possible. It inherently requires positioning to function at all.

Starlink uses phased array antennas for beamforming, both on the earth base station and on the satelite station. That means the antenna is very directional by using some complex math and multiple tranceivers feeding an antenna array.

That means the satelite must know where you are within like 10s of km. Otherwise it can’t tell where to beam your data.

It’s kinda exactly why cell towers can locate you. And why you can’t avoid that.

Look at this article from March 2024: https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media/in-the-news/cnbc-house-democrats-probe-spacex-over-alleged-illegal-export-and-use-starlink

In a statement on Thursday, the congressmen wrote, “Russia’s use of Starlink satellite terminals would be in contravention of U.S. export controls that prohibit Russia from acquiring and utilizing U.S.-produced technology.”

So the equipment has to fall into the wrong hands, through a somehow compromised supply chain. Maybe that could happen without starlink knowing, but they really should have figured that out in march. They should have very easily identified the units that were potentially compromised by auditing shipping logs.

Not only did the supply chain have to be compromised, but also the subscription and payments system… How did they not catch it on the subscription payment side? Now in addition to a compromised supply chain, a financial institution was compromised? At the least, they didn’t do their due dilligance in customer verification.

How could russia have set up the equipment without some level of development and testing? Geolocation should have given that development away.

Now, could spaceX do something more about this ? Most likely. But that is resources you need to put on this, which is not profitable.

Yeah good point, that’s called “negligence”. Not doing due dilligance or taking the necessary steps to avoid breaking the law, because it isn’t profitable, isn’t a valid legal defense.

It really would have been as simple as geofencing against devices that weren’t preauthorized or whitelisted.

That’s the beauty of intermittent problems!!

You can’t prove they aren’t there, only that they are, or, that you fail to reproduce.
