I wish there was more municipal fiber. It’s absolutely insane that the big ISPs fight it and often win.

It depends on the distance, but yes. Those laser interlinks are fast.

The problem with fiber is it isn’t direct, and the satellites do use lasers (light!) to travel longer distances. The longer the distance the bigger edge satellite internet gets.

They deorbit every 5 years and burn up in the atmosphere they don’t make it to land (although i think i remember a a part of a very early version did and changes were made because it did, but that might have been something else)

There have been a couple launches where some solar radiation caused damage or a problem with the stage 2 and they all came down and burned up before they made their planned orbit. On occasion, there may be a faulty satellite that doesn’t reach its proper orbit after launch and instead comes down instead.

Short of an error during launches, it’s all planned.

They weren’t just paid, they were paid repeatedly and they repeatedly didn’t do it.

Starlink can be more direct as well. The further fiber goes the less direct it is. By the time we’re talking between continents that builds up a lot.

Someone told me they are public some months ago? Like if someone wanted to look up your lemmy DMs they could.

I read the headline expecting to need some ELI5 on how they had some crazy optimizations… but guess it’s nothing like that hahaha.

Quebec lost 12k in total incentives. They’re going to be the outlier with probably everyone down, but Tesla down the most. The differential between others and Tesla will give a better idea of how much impact Elon is.

You get hit by the laser weapon before it fires!

You barely saw it in the news compared to VW as well. Even if an article would bring it up, it’d usually be headlines with VW in some way or another.

It’s a shame so many of our choices for cars out there are run by bad people at the top 😞

That wouldn’t even need to be malicious, but it definitely could be.

I could see a selling point being, oh ya you can monitor the system and then adjust things for more power, but it’ll be dirtier.

And then at that point it’s up to the OEM to keep it within regulations, but they could offer different power modes within limits.

Then everyone’s like oh this would make cheating so easy!

It wasn’t just VW. It was like a dozen of the major brands all doing it in some way or another.

E.g BMW was involved as well.

It definitely made me think of Jobs when I saw it. Not sure about the mouth part, but if thats what you see, its probably what was intended.

Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”.

Saw this yesterday which is relevant

I wouldn’t really called it a solved problem when waymo with lidar is crashing into physical objects

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/waymo-recalls-1200-robotaxis-after-cars-crash-into-chains-gates-and-utility-poles/ar-AA1EMVTF

NHTSA stated that the crashes “involved collisions with clearly visible objects that a competent driver would be expected to avoid.” The agency is continuing its investigation.

It’d probably be better to say that Lidar is the path to solving these problems, or a tool that can help solve it. But not solved.

Just because you see a car working perfectly, doesn’t mean it always is working perfectly.

I’ve had recent problems with FedEx like this as well. Like 3 of the past 4 deliveries it says it’s going to deliver maybe a day early, then just fucking sits in the depo in the city ALL DAY while still saying it’s going to be delivered today, until it’s the end of the day and it switches to tomorrow.

I had no idea Inkscape could work with PDFs like that. Thank you!
