FYI: companies will do 2 things to make black friday kinda suck these days
Prices will go up before black friday so they can have an exagerated sale/discount.
Some companies will make units specifically for black friday. Usually cheaper, less features, and sometimes less reliable.
Figure out what you want now.
It is, but they searched starting in 2025. Skipping this one.

Funny joke ?
Macroscopic creatures are made of different types of cells and stuff… what constitutes a living thing?
People didn’t lose half of their cells, it was all or none.
Great, they’re going to make browser exclusive content. Locked down even worse than it is. Intentional, not just lazy incompatibilities.
The LRAD is a loudspeaker. This technology is more like rf electronics.
If the car uses 5g, ang 5g is no longer available, how do you connect to a server
Maybe make it based on sales. $X, Y sales, or Z years, whichever comes first.
Look at this article from March 2024: https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media/in-the-news/cnbc-house-democrats-probe-spacex-over-alleged-illegal-export-and-use-starlink
In a statement on Thursday, the congressmen wrote, “Russia’s use of Starlink satellite terminals would be in contravention of U.S. export controls that prohibit Russia from acquiring and utilizing U.S.-produced technology.”
So the equipment has to fall into the wrong hands, through a somehow compromised supply chain. Maybe that could happen without starlink knowing, but they really should have figured that out in march. They should have very easily identified the units that were potentially compromised by auditing shipping logs.
Not only did the supply chain have to be compromised, but also the subscription and payments system… How did they not catch it on the subscription payment side? Now in addition to a compromised supply chain, a financial institution was compromised? At the least, they didn’t do their due dilligance in customer verification.
How could russia have set up the equipment without some level of development and testing? Geolocation should have given that development away.
Now, could spaceX do something more about this ? Most likely. But that is resources you need to put on this, which is not profitable.
Yeah good point, that’s called “negligence”. Not doing due dilligance or taking the necessary steps to avoid breaking the law, because it isn’t profitable, isn’t a valid legal defense.
It really would have been as simple as geofencing against devices that weren’t preauthorized or whitelisted.
That’s the beauty of intermittent problems!!
You can’t prove they aren’t there, only that they are, or, that you fail to reproduce.
Proper EMC requires good design, additional components, and good shielding.
Components and shielding add cost directly, but also increase weight, which is probably millions times more expensive in fuel.
I bet they cheaped out on their shielding. Especially given the volume of sats they’re trying to use.
When we get brain implants to supplement memory, it’s all over for us
Oh I would have been so pissed. I was programming on my calculator 24/7 instead of my classes.
I wrote a sudoku “editor”
I put that in quotes because I had a grid that could be navigated, arrows moved, storing the numbers, had number entry down. And when it was time to implement the solver, I learned the hard way what p vs np is.
Really? Send them to me. The cables they come with are always really nice and I know they’ll support the data rates and powers the device can use.
That’s what they’ve said about every disruptive technology since the beginning of time.
I’m against it being shoved down our throats at every opportunity for a quick buck, but it’s very much an active area of research.
You’d be foolish to think there’s no innovation or imlrovements to be made.
Again, most of those are targeted attacks on individuals. E.g. student mad at X person and gets revenge.
Much different from the columbine-like terroristic ones. E.g. killing anyone and everyone they can.
Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.
