You'd get a popup to choose the port and grant permissions.

Have you ever flashed a Meshtastic or ESPHome device or updated firmware on a radio transceiver?

That's what they're talking about here.

Yeah, they could have suspended Air France and Airbus's business license for 17 years and given them parole by now.

Corporations as immortal unpunishable sociopaths will seem like one of the craziest ideas in History.

They switched to Mac, not Hackintosh.

If the company were serious they'd buy supported hardware from System76, Framework, Dell, Lenovo, local shop, whomever.

It is true that buying an untested Windows machine and expecting full Linux support on a traditional distro, isn't guaranteed to work.

A rolling Arch or Gentoo might do better, buy why not get the tested ones? Employee time really isn't worth saving a day's wages on a hardware promp discount.

I've worked with both the state of CA and AT&T.

You're goddamn right I'm full of hate.

Hmm, I hate CA, and I hate AT&T ( may both rot in hell ). I literally can't lose no matter who "wins".

I hope they both destroy each other somehow.

Now that the Big Tech companies have done all their training on illegal material it's important that no startups can compete.

Clouds will depend on the frequency.

X-Ray lasers are extremely difficult but they exist. Stepping down from extremely difficult to merely difficult may have some merit.

Whether it's worth the cost will be interesting. Microsats is curious - geostationary would be an easier place to start without the steering complexity.

An interesting project for sure.

Remember when they ported VAX/VMS to PC architecture and put a Windows 3 GUI on top?

That evolved.

"Watch this space."

> pay the Chinese to host our fucking military servers

no, but that's literally what they were doing.

DC doesn't run a serious country.

I managed an IT team of 6. Only one had a masters degree, the others were all bachelors, college, or high school grads. It was the one with the masters degree that was clueless enough to utter a threat of physical violence to an employee of a photocopy repair company. Pretty sure he meant it as a joke, but it didn't come across to the repair guy as a joke. The repair guy reported the incident, the incident was reported back to our company, and HR said he has to go. Not bright.

yeah, people have been calling out specific trades on Twitter for months.

This is just an excuse for the Establishment's AI Control Grid.

"We must completely destroy your Liberty for your Safety."

People better wake up fast.

The blame for this falls squarely on the politics surrounding education fads. We abandon the boring things that work in favor for the new exciting crap that doesn't. And it's not because anyone really thinks it works, but because there are billions behind the new crap.

Parental apathy factors into this as well, no doubts.

We know what works, so ask yourself why we aren't using it.

Correct.

The current war and upcoming $1000/mo typical residential utility bills is what's driving me. And the math on a Carrington Event.

I know of three other people who are off-grid capable in my network of high hundreds of households.

But also he doesn't really age, or at lesst he deages on occasion.

Maybe we'll get James Bond and the Philosopher's Stone.
