Is there any plans to move Internet infrastructure to space?

Guess what happens with crews daily Internet allowance when ships cross the international dateline the wrong way. :-)

Haha! I was working IT support for the local municipality back then. One time I had to go into the office of the local orchestra to fix their computer which was "slow". When I turned it on there was a cat or a dog walking around o

I used last.fm back in the early 00’s. I don’t think it logged playlists, but it did log every song you listened to. It kind of faded away when streaming services took over which he no or variable support for last.fm.

Best part of PocketCast is the stats. It can tell me that since 2016 I've listened to 135 days worth of podcasts and apparently I've "saved" 46 days by increasing the playback speed and 3 days from trimming silence. (I a

They should have sold airtime and terminals to the military and worked with humanitarian organisations for civilian use. Point is that there must be clear expectations and obligations on both sides to hopefully prevent stupid disputes and d

I’m sorry if I was unclear. I do not mean spaceX should stay away, but that they should operate through normal routes. It might take a bit longer, but should make this ongoing drama less likely to happen.

Telecoms sans frontiers is operating within Ukraine and neighboring countries providing Internet access and telephone services to civilians. SpaceX shouldn’t have been allowed to insert themselves in the conflict. They should use existing s

As long as you have bandwidth latency really isn’t that important for most activities. It can suck a bit for voice and video calls (but not as bad as you might think). Online fast paced gaming is of course out of the question.

Inmarsat will launch two satellites in HEO next year to provide coverage for the arctic. Should improve coverage in higher latitudes for the merged company.

One of the first crypto personalities in Norway did this back in 2011. Even had an article in the local paper. “Local man heats bathroom with his computer”. Basically he had water based heating in the floor on his bathroom and had hooked th

This is mostly a local thing (for now) and most local papers in Norway paywall basically everything. Anyway, it’s even worse than a cumbersome software. It’s part of a digitalization process of Norwegian healthcare. You would think that sin

I keep getting an Italian dude in a pizzeria making pizza while he's humming, singing and talking to the audience. And yesterday I got a guy on an assembly line repairing pallets. Best part of tiktok if you ask me. (Worst part is that

This is absurd. With that kind of funding the city could build pretty good homes for the entire homeless population in just a few years. Stable living conditions is the first step to get your life in order.

Seems like a massive mental health and substance abuse issue combined with a cut-throat economy and lacking social safety net.

Wasn’t HFR mostly used in 3D films to get rid of the skipping in high paced scenes? If I remember correctly the first HFR film was The Hobbit? (I worked in the industry at the time on the technical side, but I’m not a film buff, so the deta

You examples sounds reasonable enough? I'm a huge proponent for strict building codes etc, but don't really see the problem with turning your front yard into a parking lot or whatever you'd like as long as it doesn't act

And the splitting of Teams/chat is really confusing. At least in my org the teams feature is rarely used, but we have chat groups for everything. Other than that agree that it’s too slow to load chats, unread notifications doesn’t go a

We had minimal problems with the two oldest, but the youngest one is impossible. I think I’ve tried all the tricks in every book to make him sleep in his own bed the whole night. I think I can count on one hand the times that have actually

The water in the rivers providing cooling water is so warm that the water that comes out the other end crosses a temperature threshold set to protect the river down stream. As I understand the situation at least. Technically the plants can

Agreed. Still would like those that WFH to come in to the office occasionally though, even if just to say hi. :-)

In my team most of us are back in the office now. Luckily we still have the option to work from home, so when that is more convenient I'll work from home, but most days I'll be at the office. Never really got the hang of working f

In my neck of the woods the foreman/boss often drive a nice pickup, but he never has anything on the flatbed. The guys actually building drive a Hiace or Sprinter or something like that (company vehicle).

Yeah, I mean most (all?) new projectors sold the last 5-ish years have been laser. There’s of course a lot of xenon projectors around. Probably most.

Never had any problem like this. I’ve essentially been doing all my banking online for as long as I’ve had any banking to do. So 20+ years or so. Can’t really remember any significant downtime or problems. Biggest problem I’ve had with a ba

Digital cinema projectors also used Xenon, but the industry changed to laser a few years ago.
