Tariffs change. Especially when Trump or another nutcase is in office.

No, I don’t think we can assume that at this point.

I assume they use the cell phone network these days, so any in flight probably weren’t able to receive the signal. On board but not at elevation is a pretty small window, so the number could be as small as zero.

Most providers in the US allow it too. It’s great that Germany has it enshrined in law, but in practice it’s not the exception.

It’s plausible. If the pager had some kind of battery that could explode if charged, discharged, or shorted in some way, and the controller could be compromised, then it’d be possible to make it explode.

Remember, Israel worked on the Stuxnet attack that destroyed Iranian uranium centrifuges by infecting their controllers, making them go too fast, and destroying themselves.

Sort of. I feel like I report half the posts around here because they’re neither news nor articles.

Too late, I already did.

We can do both.

Look man, I get what you’re doing, but it’s just getting old at this point.

tl;dr: still up in the air, but expect more extreme swings, hooray climate change

Then get one you do want? Or accept that you might not get 100% of what you want in a phone, but then that’s true of everything in life, really.

You can already do whatever you want with it. I can easily install another entire OS on my Pixel.

Maybe we shouldn’t be treating text generators as sources of truth.

Isn’t there some liability for someone who provides inaccurate voting information? Perhaps that could be used to influence Google et al. to stop providing AI summaries on their results pages.

Yes, it was polio. In Pakistan, though, and not part of a UN/WHO program, it was independent.

Itself, not very, but any dust or flakes that land on it definitely will be. It only takes very small particles.

Usually, equipment like that is abandoned in place. Radiation has weakened its parts, and decontamination is complex and time-consuming for something you can’t just hose and scrub down.

Cool, but I’m not sure what they’re claiming to be first at. NASA did 200 Gbps over a year ago: https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/ames/nasa-partners-achieve-fastest-space-to-ground-laser-comms-link/

Then why the fuck is this one suspended?

For the stock launcher, yeah. Alternatives are a dime a dozen.
