there is a lot of confusion around Disney. Disney does NOT own the copyright to many of their stories like Snow White, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel or red riding hood etc. What they own is their specific interpretation, art, IP and music from their versions of those public domain fairy tales. you are free to reuse those stories at will, just don't take from Disney's version of it.

book authors never agreed to make their works freely available to anyone, unlike open source coders.

People we don't like "abused" the thing we were abusing, that's not fair, make them stop, make them stop in a way that allows us to keep abusing the same thing, waaahhh!

i guess it depends on the company and the business. after 3+ decades you likely have built solid relations and have value to offer. ofc customers will be looking for alternatives for the duration but maybe you can even help with that, you can negotiate and offer special conditions thereafter and it being a one-off (shit happens) many custormers might indeed come back. if not, if you do provide value you can rebuild your base. actually they do say they wish to go forward, but a problem seems to be liquidity. that's what credit lines and investors are for, and if you have a solid track and good prospects that would be surely an option. if it isn't that means that the prospects aren't really that good, and simply defaulting on customers/providers/creditors is definitely the worst you can do.

and there goes my morning tea! well done ...

shutting down a datacentre because it got hot on a daily basis would completely defeat having the datacentre in the first place. yes defending against cosmic rays and space debris is also expensive. The whole fucking idea is insane from the start.

if a 37 year old company can't survive 6 weeks of shutdown and not even get credit to weather the storm and get back on their feet without defaulting on obligations it suggests to me they were already operating on fumes and the cyberattack and aftermath were just the final blow ... and ofc a very convenient explanation for that default.

Actually it is crazy difficult and VERY expensive to do. Temperature regulation in space is hard and expensive.

-to decide which of them has to deport their grandparents to places that have retirement care. The other MBAs will monetize the knife fights through short form videos. Everyone wins!

you got the satellite number right but a server draws 500 watts not KW and an ipad 30 watts. still it is the same serious issue with heat dissipation which there is "currently" no easy answer for..

The heat they generate is massively different to the heat a datacenter generates. They use a relatively small amount of processing and hence generate a manageable amount off heat. Datacenters generate massive amounts of heat many orders of magnitude greater than the networking equipment on a satelite generates.

LEO is already a mess of satellites with collisions massively increasing in likelihood, how well do you think Large satellites with massive arrays of solar panels will fare?

Satelites aren't running racks of heat producing computer equipment.

Cooling in space is actually a lot harder than on earth. despite the movies depicting you instantly freezing in space it is actually the opposite that is the problem, a vaccuum is a perfect insulator, heat dissipation is very difficult in space.

Soooo hack millions of cameras, process millions of hours of footage to try and identify the country and approx location. Even then you would have zero chance of pinpointing to the street address without an identifyable reference
