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.

A service worker shouldn't just 'run' automatically without any user prompting (certainly not the hundreds I have on my box from every single news and slop page I've ever clicked which I have to go wipe out every few months).

They were for web-apps and should only be installed when the user installs the web-app or actually approves notifications. You can say "no notifications" but the service worker will still get installed. This is just a fundamental design flaw that's been there for as long as the SW feature has.

I mean, that doesn't still mean that under better installation security, SWs couldn't still exploit a flaw like this, but it would make it less automatic.

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.

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.

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.

> All that stuff has to react rapidly

Just to add color ... equipment that has to do a lot of work quickly, even if intermittently, has a huge draw. Like your well pump or air conditioner when it starts up.

Now imagine you need to start a few dozen air conditioners simultaneously. The startup energy can be 10x the operating energy.

I've been doing the math on some of this for home solar. In my case I can ramp up the voltage over a few seconds but AIUI rockets still need instant action in many cases.

It's possible future reusable spacecraft could be more proactive, lowering costs and necessary chassis strength. Most of our technology starts off brute force and gets refined with more elegance but also more complexity over time. We're still early days in spaceflight.

How "bout those removable phone batteries?

Yeah, taxes are generally unavoidable for most people.

Hosting a blog on Substack is just a market choice among so many.

Apple and Google stores are a bit more grey; I'd allow it.

It's like those guys who find a Civil War chest with a hundred gold coins in it and call the FBI.

Clout is far too expensive.
