For anything past amusement? Personally, I don't pay tons of attention to reviews on amazon. I may find something on amazon that I'm interested in, but usually look elsewhere for info on it. Pretty much anything with tons of positive reviews is likely to be crap anyway, real people generally don't go out of their way to leave good reviews if there's no incentive to do so.
Good luck with that. The amazon delivery folks around here pretty much suck. One of em delivered a package to our work, left it out on the sidewalk in front of our door instead of walking in. Mind you, one of my coworkers was standing there watching this through the glass doors and windows. How hard is it to open a door and at least throw the package inside instead of outside?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this guy just likes to do stupid expensive things. And by attaching himself to the flat earth movement, he found a funding stream for his hobby.
They don't say whether the moon is round or not do they? So it could be round and spinning in sync with the flat earth so it looks upside down when you are on the southern 'hemisphere'...
Well technically parliament only exists by royal decree does it not? At any time the monarch could desolve parliament and start issueing edicts I believe. And it would not surprise me if the queen decided to issue an edict over the brexit stuff since nobody else has the balls to make a public decision on it.
Well said. Where we are at as a society/culture and level of tech makes this bill kinda stupid. I agree that there has to be some incentive to keeping data you control safe, but doing so will break most of what the average person has come to expect. People want their cheap goods to buy, their free social networks, etc. If you raise the bar on security then these things that people want will either have to go away, change radically, or start costing money.
If you take the average facebook user and ask them if they want their privacy, they will say yes. If you tell them that will mean a monthly subscription, they would rather it be unsafe. If you tell them that things won't share as easily, they will want it unsafe, etc, etc, etc.
Yep, missile defense is all about layers. Ideally you have something in place to kill in boost phase, but past that kill it in ballistic arc. Then comes the last line stuff. The fun part is now missiles are including active and passive defense. Lower the warhead count and include anti anti missile drones...
The fun/scary part will be to see what the air/space force does with something like spacex's superheavy. That thing could send up quite a lot of warheads at once. And being reusable and cheap, I foresee the time soon where the missiles (not nesc nuclear) are stored in orbit for even quicker delivery. And past that you could have unmanned fighters and similar waiting in orbit for near instant deployment wherever.
I would imagine this thing will fly close to it's allowed ceiling for most of it's trip. So shouldn't be tons of pigeon clouds for it to run into like it could on ground. And quadcopters are loud and angry sounding, birds get the hell away from them for the most part. Probably biggest worry would be territorial hawks or something along the flight path, lol.
Sounds like this is installing software through the windows asus software update program. Not to say that they couldn't have signed some bios files that were then installed, but if you aren't running the update tool in windows probably good.
Some EFI stuff can actually update independently now, but would have to boot into EFI config and update firmware there pretty sure.
Unfortunately, someone trying to promote the other guy could just do stuff like this to 'help' PDP and get him banned. If anything, at this point, youtube should suspend them both, put em in timeout and let them think about things for a month.
Let's just hope none of his fans is a psychopathic biochemist... 'When his hits 100mil subscribers, you can have the antidote, until then bleed from all orifices!'
The politicians are just told what to propose/vote for based on lots of data crunching. So the 'AI' is already informing the decision process and not many politicians make decisions based on moral grounds, so they just do what the data says will keep them in power longer.
This is why the system set up as the United States has lasted over 200 years. The constitution was a contract between the states and the new federal government. The architects of the federal gov and constitution had to figure out a way that the states would actually sign on to this experiment, therefore most control was given to the states. One thing that amazes me is that some states are now voting on bills to reduce their effective power by making their electors follow a national popular vote. After something like that is in place, 100% of a state could vote for x, but the electors would end up voting for y.
They'll team up with spacex and offer this service with starlink as it rolls out. Hell, throw some data centers in orbit and cooling is cheap... And LEO isn't too bad for radiation toasting the CPU/GPUs.

up contacts is the mess up. If it hadn't given any indication it was doing it, then nobody would have noticed. So that's the unintentional part...

Hmmmm, I like some individuals but dislike humans in general...

Or some such BS
My prediction is the rocket fails spectacularly and then he's martyred when the flat earthers decide the government had him killed.
Maybe elon or somebody will feel sorry for him and let him ride in a real rocket, lol.
Good luck getting any hardware manufacturers getting something like that made on any large scale. Countries don't want encrypted communications.
I want nothing to do with it!

Yeah, but history shows us the mob loves to kill some rich folk, lol.
The next law will be just to prekill the CEO before the breach happens.

Well, to be fair, if you bury them deep enough...
And when they're carrying blood samples, even more realistic!

Do you really think they aren't already doing this? You report on the cool dog clone, not the cool supersoldier clone...
Just think, a police dog that could know where all the drugs everywhere are hidden...
