I really don't think you want to get into a conversation about whom on the political spectrum is "outright lying about every issue imaginable and denying reality."

Stop chugging kool-aid. The GOP, it's members, and it's multi-billion-dollar right-wing media propaganda machine are lying to you WAY more than anyone else out there - except for maybe Putin and his government-scale propaganda machine.

Every tightie-rightie accusation is a confession of their own behavior.

Read your first sentence and stopped.

I don't care how "temporary" a President is, and how "outlasting" Congress is, if neither are doing their Constitutionally mandated duties.

The President should be executing the laws passed by Congress. He is not. In fact, he is regularly violating those laws.

Congress should be conducting oversight to make sure the Executive is executing their laws. They are not. They are putting on blinders, earmuffs, and yelling LA LA LA LA LA LA LA instead of doing anything about the blatant violations of law.

Even the judiciary is compromised - the trial and appellate judges are still doing their jobs, but SCOTUS is totally shitting the bed and making up shit that doesn't actually exist anywhere in law, or the Constitution.

This "temporary" damage is about as "temporary" as dropping a low yield nuke into a city. Will the entire city be glass? No. But it will be completely fucked for years longer than the prompt event that fucked it up to begin with.

And you don't see how the scientific method and peer review is meant to eliminate that bias?

And you don't see that as an outlier compared to all the other scientists out there with full postgrad educations that delivered important research to create the society we have today.

Why bother with this picking of nits?

Please point to anyone of consequence "calling for Sharia law."

We'll all wait patiently for your forthcoming evidence of your claim. You will not reply.

It doesn't matter what the plaque on the door is, if the output is still lies.

See: Department of Defense / Department of War bullshit.

It didn't even look like they saved a bunch of money on paper when you consider the ramifications of some of the critical things they cut. Example: the screw worm infestation in Texas / Oklahoma is going to cost us WAY more than the entirety of the DOGE cuts.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

And I'm addressing why massive radiators to shed hundreds of thousands of watts of heat won't work. The bigger they are, the more chance of them breaking and taking the whole thing out.

There is absolutely no common usage scenario where orbital data centers make sense, that doesn't make more sense being done right here on the dirt.

And we all know that increasingly large things in orbit never have a correlative increase in the probability of being hit by other things - grains of sand, micrometeors, other tiny things that aren't mapped capable of punching holes in your radiative surface and instantly leak out whatever refrigerant you are using to conduct the heat efficiently.

What's your magic fix for that? More fuel use to reposition the giant thing out of the way? Where is the fuel coming from, since these are disposable and won't be serviced at all?

The bigger the thing, the more fuel you need to move the thing. The more fuel the thing has, the heavier it is, and volume becomes bigger, which means more launch cost to loft it to begin with.

But you thought through all of that, I presume, before posting your "solution."

I don't, nor have I ever owned an Oppo phone. But I'm also not an ignorant idiot that wants someone else to answer their question for them, that they can easily answer themselves in less time than to ask. This is a site for people that have enough curiosity to be able to do that much, and quite frankly should expect to be mocked if they are so incurious as to not be able to type "oppo phones" into Google.

At some point, if someone is curious enough, they need to learn to answer their own god damn questions.

So what about the rest of the internet? Does it get to talk to these magical data centers in the sky, or does everyone have to get a Starlink terminal in order to make use of this?

Think about what you're saying, and think about the context of a cellular network. Yes, we all have cellular modems in our pockets, that talk to distributed cellular networks. Those anntenna have back-haul network that is NOT cellular, which routes you through fiber to the cellular provider's core router, where you enter the internet as packets that look largely the same as every other packet, going where you need to go.

Nobody has to install 4G cards in every fucking server for you to use it on your phone. This is exactly the same as that, which means that "back haul" network is still susceptible to attack, just the same as central switching offices of telcos are still centralized equipment centers.

Nothing about Starlink changes the fact that at some point you EXIT THE STARLINK NETWORK to get where you actually want to go.

hand waving to minimize the biggest physics problem that can't be PR'd away, just like Elon.

I can play the cherry picking game too:

Is putting data centers in space more carbon emissions than not putting data centers in space? Yes.

Is that available now? Is this why they are installing a huge natgas pipe, because they're going to source their methane from atmosphere? Your tongue is red from drinking kool aid.

The source of the money is not germane to the conversation. I don't care if he can bilk investors into paying for stupid ideas - that's been happening since the beginning of Capitalism. The facts are the following:

1. rocket launches use massive amounts of energy, and methalox engines output carbon when they do their job. You cannot argue against this, so you give some bad faith argument of whataboutism. More carbon is more carbon.
2. sure, he's made noises about atmo carbon sequestration. That doesn't exist. And if it did, HE IS STILL BUILDING A FOSSIL FUEL SOURCE PIPELINE.
3. It doesn't matter who pays for shitty ideas, the ideas are still shit.

Thanks for trying, but you have completely failed.

So your answer is to launch massive radiators that can be seen with the naked eye from the ground.

Hint: the radiator panels on the ISS can only get rid of somewhere between 350W - 700W per _square meter_ - that's one square meter per CPU or GPU, and we're talking about a *data center*.

And, because we know that launch mass is how you figure out if putting something in space makes any sense at all...

And you need to lie as an anonymous coward for unknown reasons.

Oppo updates ColorOS 6 times a year (bi-monthly) with their latest version running the latest Android 16.

OnePlus has also updated their OS regularly for their phones.
