This does happen quite often actually - the logical progression from telegraph to digital Internet networks was interrupted by the invention and deployment of the analog telephone network. IMHO even analog television and microwave oven look

Not to mention it would be much cheaper and quicker to launch if it could have any form of robotic or human servicing/tuning available. Designing it to not fail at the start & then work without any help for decades must have also m

There are hundreds of Dove Satellites with telescopes in the Flock constellations from Planet Lab: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Labs Most of them launched on the Falcon 9. They just point down to the Earth by d

Setting a limit on a number of satellites seems rather arbitrary and not very effective to actually achieve a specific result.

Thank you Google, you are one of the last remaining companies we can depend on behaving consistently! Please never change! ;-)

Seems like the problem is that Apple is so big it's putting the market under an unhealthy pressure. Kinda reminds my of big supermarket chains pressuring farmers to sell their stock with low to no margin by being the main buyers. Seems

For an example of a quite vibrant local PeerTube instance, there is https://vhsky.cz/ running in the Czech Republic. (And no, it is not spelled "VH SKY" - it's a pun on the VHS video format - in Czech to say

Steam CDN can saturate 1 GBit/S line just fine - and its actually super convenient when a bunch of friends wants to play some 50 GB game you don't have installed at the moment - it will download and install in a few minutes.

Yeah, ideally the system used should be something distributed like NNTP or a free software forum software with an easy import/export option + frequent export snapshots anyone can download. Then if the forum goes down for whatever reaso

The Librem phones do exist and people use them. Did it take the world by storm ? No. But it exists, has users & is building the case (together with Sailfish OS and others) that having an abusive mobile OS duopoly is not the desirable st

AFAIK Iridium is part of some important airliner navigation systems and standards - while a niche, it can still be very lucrative business. and I would not be surprised if it was embedded like this into various other systems that are less c

In practice the lower cost of access to space had made it viable to star requiring people to at least deorbit their upper stages, something that was long a no-go, with the excuse being that the extra fuel and redundancy would eat too much i

Then you are being ripped off - I have seen 40000 Kč for a combined heat-pump/AC air/air unit here in the Czech Republic, which is about 1600 EUR. And you are getting a very efficient modern AC & heat pump.

by m4rtink 4mo ago
There are massive distributed solar deployments (eg. people putting cheap solar panels on their roofs, often backed by batteries) happening right now, those should help offset AC demands quite nicely.

Also many old houses & modern insulated buildings have a significant heat inertia - so if the heat wave is not too long & you do sane heat management (open windows during the night to cool down the flat/house, keep windows clos

Replace one set of LLM tainted code by a different bunch of LLM tainted code - perfect a and totally solid from any legal perspective! (The paragraph above is a sarcasm.)

by m4rtink 4mo ago
Not sure if those fork would be maintainable long term if their authors need to lean so heavily on LLMs just to get their coding done. Would bet more on the original project that have demonstrated they know what they are doing & can do

Well a couple Chinese RAM companies already did that a couple years ago & now they are getting the global consumer market handed on a silver platter due to the hubris and shortsightedness of the current RAM cartel.

Not saying this is the solution, but strategic reserves of important commodities exist. Maybe we need the same now for computer parts, that are now so important for everything in our modern digital society ? So that feverish investor specul

Yeah, unsustainable to maintain their insane profit margins made possible by their locked down walled garden.

Yep - the incumbent memory cartel bathes in money for a bit longer - then Chinese manufacturers eat their market share while they sleep on their laurels.

Well, don't forget the Soviets gave up in the end with their N1 rocket.

Sure they are - the s300 system for example can be redployed quite rapidly & some like Buk have the radar even integrated with the launcher. Also only the radar really transmits, so even if you hit it the, separate launchers might still

Middle strike drone swarm is more likely in 2026 & as a bonus you can post the footage from it as a music video.
