Given how fast AI recompiles are coming out just wait a week or two.

For fucks sake.

Fatigue after only two hours of driving? Okay grandma. Seriously, where I live two hours at 80mph won’t get you to the state line!

To test against the SR-72.

Linux ain’t gonna save you. The major distros rolled over at speed of LIGHT when this shit started popping off earlier in the year. I was disgusted and appalled at how fast many of the major FOSS players caved in. You’re going to need to move to BSD or Haiku or something.

The first result would be the UN getting immediately booted from the United States. The 2nd result would likely be a war between nations backing the UN and nations that will not submit to the UNs assumed authority.

Your question exists as a central tenant in many works of fiction.

Any subscription whose monthly price ends in .99 will have an annual price that ends in .88.

• Netflix @ 8.99 a month? That’s 107.88! Nazis!
• Crunchyroll @ 9.99 / 13.99 / 17.99 a month! Nazis!
• Xbox Gamepass @ 9.99 a month? That’s 119.88! Nazis!

Did no one in these comments pass grade school math?!

Sounds bad…until you realize that this is how math works. Any subscription whose monthly price ends in .99 will have an annual price that ends in .88.

• Netflix @ 8.99 a month? That’s 107.88! Nazis!
• Crunchyroll @ 9.99 / 13.99 / 17.99 a month! Nazis!
• Xbox Gamepass @ 9.99 a month? That’s 119.88! Nazis!

Only people who are bad at math and committed to finding Nazis, real or imaginary, hiding in every nook and cranny even think about this.

If that that’s not enough consider that prices ending .99 have been a sales tactic since forever. It’s sometimes called “Charm Pricing” or “The 99 Effect”.

“Just gonna keep using 10 and pass everything through a pfsense router. Strictly speaking it’s the cheaper and safer option.”

No.

The pfsense router is fine but continuing to use an outdated OS that was riddled with vulnerabilities when it was current is not only the LEAST safe option it also means that you are ignoring vastly more secure and FREE options.

Dump Windows 10 and install Linux Mint.

You’re reading a blog post from someone in the boating community so the SL changes are being evaluated through their lens. They are being impacted by these changes but I don’t believe they were the target.

I suspect that Starlink is trying to close the “Grey Market” loophole, where someone purchases and activates an SL terminal in one country with the intent of using it full time in a different country.

You may not think of that as a big problem but it is how Russia keeps getting its hands on working SL terminals.

This change directly impacts Russia’s ability to Starlink terminal’s via the Grey Market for use in their War against Ukraine.

The Poland thing was changed, it’s now considered part of the EU for “Home” Roaming.

I don’t see what’s happening here as “Enshittification”.

Everyone calling the shots in China is a Billionaire.

Webrings still exist.

This article reminded me to check deflock.me where I found that in the last 90 days my city finally got a Flock camera. There’s only one but I’ve been driving by the damn thing every day on my way to work without realizing it.

I’d like to know whose responsible for it; City, County, or State but regardless I now have a decision to make.

No but at least the data isn’t being immediately uploaded to Meta / Google / Apple or whatever for storage and processing.

If they are Open Source it also opens the door for some kind of control device that a person could have that broadcasts a “Do Not Record” signal that could in theory prevent Open Source glasses from recording in your presence. That kind of thing will never happen with Commercial / For Profit glasses.

We need an Open Source version of these glasses. It’s the only solution that will work.

There are multiple systems for handling drone swarms in the pipeline right now. Some of them are nearly through testing and will start production and deployment later this year. Leonidas and de-shorad are two examples.

I just want to be free to ride my machine, and not be hassled by the man.

Set your phone to require a pin or passcode at startup then reboot your phone before going through the checkpoint.

Hey, a copyparty server in the wild! Neat!
