There's a space object and debris tracking visualization at http://astria.tacc.utexas.edu/AstriaGraph/ You can filter to "Low Earth Orbit" and play at 100x speed to get an idea of how things are moving a

Is that what they do with satellite TV? Not knowing anything, I'd think they'd need a unique connection for every user, like Internet streaming, to have unique keys.

That relates to my biggest surprise about COVID. After a year of negative results, the home test worked when we finally did catch the virus. I had been skeptical, but it turned out all of the negatives (and positives) were correct.

I've got other people's names and dates in some of my Office documents metadata. Sometimes it's easier to wipe all but the first two pages out and go from there, than to keep track of other people's templates. Clearly h

Was curious, where does all the stuff that's filtered out go? And then industry sites like https://americanhomewater.com/the-truth-about-reverse-osmosi... raise more questions which probably have better answers.

I gave this a quick try, and my first impression is that they've whitelisted games above a certain popularity or monetization level. On my phone, Google Play library shows about 50 games that I've ever installed which are compatib

Don't they automatically make 30% of the revenue from Google Play app sales?

There are "criminal attempt" and "conspiracy" charges, so in general it's possible, but probably not in this case. If I'm reading this right, the plaintiffs felt harmed because their information they might have

So if they did it to me, it's bad, but to Facebook it's OK? In some court cases the actual harm matters, and sometimes it's the principle that matters.

I'd look at it the same as a police officer demanding things. It's not illegal for them to say whatever they want, and imply powers they don't have, but it's still coercive and an abuse of powers we've granted them

I've the same phone, and stock it is pretty bloat-free. Main complaint is the charging; no wireless and the USB-C is not secure and will pop out in most orientations.

I was poking around the Rocky Linux website, and wondering where to download the latest source code for Rocky 9.2? Let's say IBM decides not to burn up the ecosystem, will Oracle / Alma start using the source that Rocky exfiltrat

It reminds me of people needing to do a "clean room implementation" without ever seeing similar code. I feel like a human being who read a bunch of code and then wrote something similar without copy/paste or looking at the t

This makes sense for high-stakes cases that will definitely go to court. Otherwise it is cheaper for both companies to settle out of court and say both drivers are at fault and will be each paying their deductibles, and companies split the

It was relevant but maybe not super-interesting. I thought The Register did a fair job of quoting people involved in the incident and explaining what happened, with less snark than usual. Maybe a better title is "GMP software library

It sounds like a motto for people who want those outcomes, even if technology somehow let us have more electricity, more people, more meat, and more travel. There's only one bottom line, CO2 and methane in the atmosphere must decrease.
