The border collie helps round up the cattle but it would be easier if the rancher knows where the cattle are located to send out the collie. Some ranches can be hundreds of thousands of acres. And that is the main herd. If there are stragglers, they have to be located too.

Border collies generally work with sheep, cows not as much simply because cows don't really give a damn.

But sheep you have to be careful with - an entire flock in the UK had to be euthanized because they figured how to escape their fencing, and if that knowledge spread, it would basically render all farms using that fencing to keep sheep worthless. They apparently are very good at teaching fellow sheep things like that, and it was only a matter of time before the one or two that figured out how to escape taught the rest of the flock, and that flock would then teach neighboring flocks on neighboring farms and so on. It was cheaper to euthanize the flock than to have the entire country's farms re-fenced.

The entire mission is obviously an AI fake. As acclaimed physicist Joe Rogan explained, they crew would be dead once they'd hit the Van Allen Radiation Belt (tm)

That should've been obvious by the fake globe Earth image they reportedly sent back after launching.

The earth is flat. Not a globe. The fact they had to publish this image shows the whole thing is fake.

Indeed. But the target of this propaganda lie is not people that can actually think. It is the MAGA cultists, that will claim everything is great while they are starving, dying from preventable disease and being homeless.

A dumb MAGA like you would not even be convinced by rock-solid evidence. You lack the two working braincells required.

You probably overlooked that this is for 3 (!) people. Dumb and dumber.

This is $133k for 3 people.

... will really love cow tracking. As the basis for a new Climate Commitment Act tax applicable to cows for burping methane.

But eventually, we can eliminate cattle. And return the prairies to their original inhabitants. The buffalo. Who will commence grazing and burping methane.

Good luck. The starter in my Rivian is broken.

What you have trouble paying for your expenses and a medical emergency could bankrupt you? Its all just in your mind!

No cynicism required. The whole thing is a big fat repulsive lie.

It does not sound grounded in reality as well.

Indeed. The whole thing is MAGA assholes lying about reality.

Could it be that some people just want to get work done and not get stuck in interminable video conferences?

"Whoops! My network connection just went down." (Holding Ethernet plug in hand.)

Actually, many consumer gigabit Ethernet switches lack 10Mbps support these days. They are 100/1000baseT only.

Business and enterprise switches though I've found (including Cisco ones, which you can find dirt cheap used) still are 10/100/1000Mbps. Even newer business and enterprise class switches retain support.

Of course, once you step into 10Gbps Ethernet, you have to be careful because many only are 10Gbps only, while some do support 1/10Gbps. 2.5Gbps support is iffy unless it's specified which is annoying since many things have 2.5Gbps ports.

As for 486, there are still new CPUs using it. The Vortex86 has a CPU that executes 486 instructions though newer ones do support Pentium minus the FPU. These are modern chips, with IDE emulation of SD cards, Ethernet and USB support, as well as running at speeds of 800-1GHz.

And you've seen them used - any fast food restaurant with the ticket screens is powered by a mini PC using these SoCs. They do run Windows and MS-DOS, and early restaurant e-ticket systems used MS-DOS. But later ones nowadays use some form of Linux.
