If your bad guys can get high enough to sever your cable, they can get high enough to do a kinetic or powered bombardment and cause magnitudes more damage.

Feels like Mars eats most probes. Mars96 and Mars polar observer come to kind immediately. I believe my name was on a cd on one of them as an early internet thing you could do. Never made it to mars.

I suspect she’ll lose more sleep for feeling she’d let down Sagan than letting down a fictional character. Maybe you’re different, and that’s fine.

No. And corrects it’s very difficult to avoid it. And often more expensive. And sometimes you have to simply not do business instead of paying the bribe.

The chance of somebody storing my WireGuard traffic from a local public hotspot to be able to hopefully decode it at some point in the future is far less than someone sniffing dns and http traffic I send from the same hotspot today. The val

Large portion of those who currently don’t connect will faraday cage their connection to remove the ability too. Then of course there’s a lack of 5G. I certainly don’t have any where I live. Just about have 1 bar of 4g near the window.
