Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

In this case, OP was correct. The FTC action against John Deere was filed during the Biden administration when Lina Khan was FTC chair.

I will refer you back to my original comment for details.

I was addressing your comment about heat rejection, a subject on which I have some amount of expertise. If you have objections to the proposed space data systems other than your comment about radiators, go start a new thread.

No, the approach would be to launch massive solar panels that can be seen with the naked eye from the ground.

The solar panels would do double duty as radiators.

It's a great article. There are a lot of apps, use cases, and workflows that can be duplicated in Linux, but which aren't obvious or well advertised. An article like this encourages people to share those workflows they have had problems duplicating and then others who have duplicated them or found other solutions can share them. Great idea. The lowest quality (or one of) part of this article was your comment.

...and here we have a tie for the other lowest quality part of this article. Great name, by the way. Matches your attitude. If you want to make a complaint, then offer a solution with it. If you hate Slashdot in general so much, why are you here? We have all watched the site slowly suffer from not having any energy input into the system, but maybe dragging it down further isn't the answer. Can you even see the irony of bitterly complaining about the lack of effort the owners are putting in?

Both of you, add some energy to the system, or vote with your feet. Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Depends what you mean by video editor.

For transcoding, de and re-muxing, filtering, cropping, resizing, de-interlace, and some splicing with the equivalent audio capabilities (basically for format bashing with enough splicing ability to piece together pieces of movies, for example, spread over multiple discs) you have avidemux.

You have other tools like MKVToolNix, Mediainfo and MakeMKV for direct Matroska editing, meta-data vewing, and DVD/Blu-Ray ripping respectively too.

For video authoring with splices, fades, effects, animations, titles, with good timeline support, you have openshot.

Bah,

Made a typo in the quoting but I'm sure you can figure it out.

Would you actually be cheering if he was using Linux and had gotten away with his ransomware spree?

I would be cheering regardless of the end-use of the computer if the method used to apprehend the suspect was not frighteningly draconian. Yes.

It's not a win for anybody.

Indeed, invasion of privacy is not a remedy for crime.

These are the same arguments that legislators and law enforcement are using the world over to erode privacy. To institute "age verification" (which is really just tracking by another name) and to brand everything you do. This is the pre-internet equivalent to tattooing a serial number on everyone and then recording that number at every checkpoint and building access in order to track people. Good thing no one ever did that.

Oh.... wait....

It's important to realize that the so-called far-left Democrats idealize Bolshevism while the far-right Republicans idealize Fascism, both of which are forms of Big Government Socialism.

So if the Democrats are in power and they want to increase the size and scope of government the Republicans will go along with it 80% of the time. Because they know they will eventually be back in power and have more tools of power to control.
They will balk the other 20% of the time so they still have something to run on and false promises to make to their voters.

The base of both parties is mostly against all of this.

Radiators.

Since the heat out at most equals the solar power in, and the two-sided flat-plate equilibrium temperature of a panel receiving solar energy is 331K (58 C), if the solar panels are also the radiators, heat rejection is manageable.

(Completely accurate only far from the Earth. In Low Earth Orbit, you also have to account for albedo and infrared radiation from the Earth.)

Ribosomes do a job a bit more complicated than "catalyze reactions."

That and Russia has suggested destroying the orbit if Starlink doesn't stop enabling terrorist attacks by NATO proxies on its people.

The AI cut-off dive bomb tactic is a blatant warcrime.
