If likes and boosts are overrated, then is there a way to find others' posts about a topic or to get more replies to my posts?

How much of this $10b comes from what they saved via the CHIPs act? Fuck Micron and their murder of the Crucial brand to intentionally drive up prices. It's obvious they're colluding with Samsung and SK to drive up prices (the previous ram company cartels have been found guilty of this in multiple courts over the past several decades, but barely faced any consequences).

Micron can go fuck themselves. I doubt this will help Boise's economy in any meaningful way either. It's just more of these shit companies contrasting supply and fucking over their former customers.

Take Cxmt needs to come off the sanctions list. I know they're output isn't high enough to put a dent in ram prices right now, but we need more real competition in this insane market.

On older cars you have to look at them a few times in the beginning, but then you know that this is the temperature dial and that is the fan speed and the radio volume etc. by feel and location.

Not if they are designed with proper tactical interface. Turn knobs with proper texture and position.

Push buttons require that you see them, turn knobs you can feel.

Sorry, no, any touch screen interaction is requiring you to look at what you are pointing at.

At least stop putting touch screens in cars.

It depends on the type of consumer. Big media would prefer content consumers that are locked in to a one-way feed.

Pluto will rise again

We seem to be in a parallel to Rural Electrification now.

If someone lives five miles from the nearest connection, currently on 100A AC and POTS, is the limited budget better spent on running five miles of fiber or dropping off a satellite terminal?

They'll be going from either 3Mbps DSL to 300Mbps satellite or 800Mbps fiber.

If we had unlimited money I'd say fiber almost everywhere. But that isn't realistic.

The flip side is some of these rulings which ought to be applied to edge cases may well be applied to areas where FTTH is entirely reasonable and achievable.

Government almost always sucks at applying broad rules without subtlety at both the median and the far sigmas.

I live in an area where welfare broadband is offered for about $15/mo for about 60Mbps. Frankly I could live with that almost all the time. I do download some massive datasets every few months but my smoothed average is probably 2% of my max.

But those welfare programs exist because society has decided that some Internet is required for participation so there is some responsibility to provide.

The bigger risk is probably dual-use dangers. Ukraine has been using Starlink for terrorist attacks and while Musk has said he cut them off the Russian FM has warned that Russia will take out the Starlink constellation if it continues because apparently it is.

So we don't run fiber and then Starlink goes away, and then what?

There are also ice storms, hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, etc. that can take out landines for months so having a few satellite terminals in an area would be more antifragile.

FCC is seemingly treating this as simple when it's complex.

Sooo, you think Graham Platner is not a NAZI? Or maybe you think he is a "good" fascist?
