That doesn't make any sense. If you want to orbit at a lower speed, you need to increase your altitude. Geostationary orbit is at 35,000+ km, while the ISS orbits at ~400 km.

The answer is very simple: the display of your laptop is much thinner than your phone. So if you want something better, you will need to use an external camera.

This article is hilarious because it shows how poorly the average tech consumer understands pricing and hardware. You want a better camera and a better mic? Buy them. They're not cheap. You can easily spend $3-400 on a teleconferencing

I say we should ban data centers instead. They're clearly a scam and no one should be allowed to use them because they waste so much power!

Where is it illegal? Can you point me to the law that makes it so? Curious to see the wording of how they identify and enforce something like that.

One thing I've seen in open-ended games like this (Rimworld, Crusade Kings) is to just jump into a "tutorial" at first and direct the player into the basic game loop. It feels like you're actually accomplishing something
