Only micro-movements are necessary to avoid most space junk*, using tiny "cold" thrusters which are not enough to serve as a rapid-response spy-probe. High-end spy probes probably have lots of fuel and big nozzles.

Don's spy-probe: "Hey Xi, look, my nozzle's bigger than yours!"

* If they have short notice to swerve, then small engines are probably not good enough, but that situation is probably not (yet) common enough to justify carrying large thruster systems.

There's like a dozen different ink cartridge gimmicks HP uses to fuck over consumers. In my case one had to press a "confirm" prompt every time one printed if the color cartridge was past an alleged expiration date even if I was only printing in black-and-white.

HP used to have a good reputation, then seemed to turn evil on a dime. Was there a board meeting where they had a "let's be evil" vote and it passed?

With our luck a bubble burst will also put a manufacturer out of business, meaning less choice and higher prices in the end. It would allow oligopolies to get oligopolier. The rich have the means to wait out slumps for advantage.

...Hydrazine nozzles are probably the simplest technique, being it doesn't need ignition, but are not as powerful as ignition-based path adjustment mini-rockets.

Maybe the speed and degree with which military satellites maneuver has increased of late? They probably can't tells us without having to kill us. You ask first!

end up inadvertently copying the bursting also.

I suspect these X-clone adventures are subsidized in multiple ways just as AI, batteries, and solar was.

Why would we do that? It's good stuff. The same stuff you get on Amazon, but for literally 1/10th the price.

A lot of it is good quality too. Better than European brands in some cases, e.g. I bought a Wolfbox air blower and kids I significantly more powerful than anything else on the market except for Makita stuff costing 5x as much. Don't take my word for it, there are numerous scientific tests of those things in YouTube.

Or thermal cameras. FLIR can't compete with the Chinese manufacturers and their high resolution modules.

Keep in mind you are being fleeced on most of this "quality" stuff. I was looking at USB borescope cameras. Local place wanted £50, Amazon wanted £30, AliExpress wanted £1.50 and they are all the same thing. Same product photos, same USB IDs, same camera module and PCB. I know because I bought all three for work and took them apart.

The problem is always the same - the technology gets abused. With brightness wars the content tries to blind you, and looks bad if you try to compress the dynamic range. Or the other extreme, it gets colour graded for high end sets that can show a lot of detail in dark areas, and people complain that on their SDR LCD everything is black.

The BBC experimented with a second sound stream that made dialogue clearer for a while, then abandoned it.

Ah, that makes sense. I do use a counter top fan oven that is about 1500W.

Surely, if they're essentially taking the game away from people who paid for it, those people are entitled to a refund, right?

But most of the air fryers in the UK are the wrong shape for pre-prepared meals, and most of those meals are best prepared with a microwave.

It just seems like an air fryer is worse. Take potatoes or meat. You can pile them into an air fryer, or you can spread them in a fan oven and optionally have a rotating platter to make sure they cook evenly. I suppose it's true that the volume is lower so they heat up faster. More messy to clean though.

I completely agree, but would include things like the pledge of allegiance in schools.

I don't get air fryers. They are just fan ovens, but worse.

I don't think Trump even runs the social media anyway, it's some guys who pay him to use the name. He can't lose.

Doesn't work in the UK. People got refunds when they killed PS3 Linux, for example.
