The first planned use for Starship will likely be launching Starlink satellites. And there's no immediate plans to directly launch with humans on board. I'd personally ballpark that there will be well over 20 launches before anyth

"Loses" is kind of an incorrect way to talk about the launch. The flight made great progress and was just shy of orbital velocity (it was over 24,000 km/hr and orbital velocity is around 24,500 km/hr for a low orbit). Ke

Well that's because you're paying a person and a motor vehicle's worth of fuel just to move a bottle of water. If you filled your vehicle full of water, and upgraded to a semi-trailer full of water, then its a lot less than $

I'm really tired of this claim. Every single time its made its entirely a figment of the writer's imagination, because there is no quote you can find of Elon attributing the success to himself. In fact when people attribute SpaceX

How is it not about exploration? And how is it about profit? Who do you think benefits most from having cheaper access to space? Society as a whole benefits way more than old musky. A billionaire's mega yacht is for his exclusive use.

The check on SCOTUS is that it doesn't have any law enforcing powers. They're just men and women in long cloaks writing things down. Also, SCOTUS members can be impeached and they can say "no that impeachment is invalid"

Thanks, are the important oxide branches of illumos-gate repo (and any other cloned repos) defined anywhere? I definitely wouldn't have found that branch without you mentioning it here.

But they _are_ writing the firmware that runs most of them and need to understand those devices at a deep level in order to do that, unlike Dell. Dell slaps together hardware and firmware from other vendors with some high level software of

As a side question, what's the name of your custom firmware that is the replacement of the AGESA bootloader? I tried searching on the oxide github page but couldn't find anything that seemed to fit that description.

From listening to their talks they've actually gotten pretty good direct responses from AMD and AMD likes them quite a bit. They've done what no other system integrator has done and brought up the CPU without using AMD's AGES

From my own understanding its neither (unless by "remote" you don't mean Oxide). From my understanding there's no involvement of Oxide in running the computer. You should never need to talk to them to configure anything

I would assume so. They've said before you can make modifications to the firmware and deploy it yourself if you so wish. That's one of the major reasons that making the firmware open source is so useful.

Okay I see that now, but I think that's referring back to earlier in the article where it says: > The companies had targeted beta trials at the end of this year following the launch of Starlink V2 satellites, according to CNET. Whic

I’m not seeing your claim in that linked article unless I missed it. It talks about v2 satellites, which have yet to launch.
