If you believe that russian sources are reliable you also believe that a female NASA astronaut drilled a hole in a Soyuz because she was homesick, that russian soldiers were not offically involved in seizing Crimea, that Zelensky is a Satan worshipping Nazi, that the russian AF has shot down 10 times more Ukranian jets than they have ever had in service, that many russians who crossed Putin died by being crushed from falling out of ground floor windows, that rapists and murderers were transformed into angels by surviving being used as bullet and drone sponges, etc , etc, etc...

"Proof" from untrustworthy sources isn't.

Being a passenger in Falcon/Dragon being allowed to take pictures of export controlled parts of Falcon/Dragon. This isn't rocket science and you should be able to understand that.

Photographic memory doesn't include being able to determine the dimensions or other many other aspects of objects that pictures can nor does it imply being able to produce an accurate drawing from memory.

First off, none of the people I know that use Starlink see any need to mesh with any other network. Secondly, Starlink is the only SAT ISP using phased array antennas & if/when any others appear commercially, each mesh operator will be using different frequency bands that the antennas need to be tuned to so WTF is there to be "interoperable" with?

If you want to say "I hate Musk" then just say that. I agree+respect that opinion more than dumb bullshit.

I recall reading a definitive debunking of the "go fast" video by an optics expert with intimate knowledge of the F18 gun camera. Every claimed "anomalous" movement was explained as being a particular kind of "sun dog" (those ghost suns you can see on complex multi-component lenses that are pointed facing the sun).

So Tim Gallaudet's "proof" of aliens boils down to "an unknown higher ranked officer told the mail system admin to junk the conspirationist bullshit we were trying to circulate".

Proof that higher ranked officers are aliens... /s

No, it has most certainly not been proven. It has been asserted but that is not proof.

OpenAI has been proven to have deemed that anything that they can use anything they can access on the Internet to train their AIs without any considerations. That there are no currently known tracks between Altman and the Sky voice resembling SJ's voice doesn't mean that he didn't pull Roberts aside and tell her "make it sound like SJ" or that there are communications that they have not revealed and in a jury trial, given how many people find that sky and SJ are more than oddly similar she would likely prevailed had Altman not pulled sky. A court decision is the only proof in this context & OpenAI chose to avoid discovery and a trial.

Suuure and "your mom" is different from the vast majority. People like almost all of those here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/c..., and here:: https://markellisreviews.com/t..., and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?....

So again: Very highly doubtful but I'll add in probably untrutful because you have failed to explain what you and "your mom" are doing that is different from everyone else.

Very highly doubtful. Apple's better memory management through compression & faster access to the on-module RAM have made the expectations of those used to x86 laptops overestimate the RAM needed for all but the most demanding workloads, as has been seen time and time again by those who actually used one. Come on admit it, you're basing your opinion on a win/linux PC & not through actual use of a M1/2/3 Mac with 8Gb.

iPhone users don’t have to care, they’re not using the RAM overconsumption shit sandwich of Android+Chrome.

As is so often the case, the non iPhone users wrongly consider their pachydermic use cases to be EVERYONE’s use cases.
