Ahhh ok yeah that makes more sense then. I thought I saw something saying discount for YTTV for like $600 or something was like wtf. The 22 camera thing sounds like the F1TV feature which is pretty cool.

Holy shit someone still operates this?!

Doesn’t it cost something ridiculous like $2000/yr to be able to watch every NFL game? It’s crazy because it’s nowhere near as entertaining as CFB anyway lol.

I thought $80/yr was a lot to see every F1 race but it also includes live telemetry, cockpit cams, and team radios you can bounce between during every event. As well as two different commentary streams, every past race, and loads of post race commentaries and docs. I can’t imagine spending any more on it though.

The US government moreso than NASA as funding for them as been an easy punching bag for both political parties lately.

The other thing is optics. NASA isn’t allowed to blow up 20 rockets on their designs. They only get one chance to get it right. That’s why the SLS has only 1 launch and is 1/1 as opposed to the SpaceX Dragon and Starship can just throw money at them until they work.

Not saying one way is better than the other, just that NASA has to fight not to make the front page because 9/10 it means they made a mistake which costs them more funding. IMO all of this is going to come up to a very slow pace akin to NASA when we start with crewed missions (SpaceX Starship will be mission controlled by NASA as well). They super don’t fuck around with crewed launches, especially after the botched Boeing Space launch. And a crew launch failure affects everyone SpaceX and NASA alike.

Everyone in here like yay truck bad, I don’t give a fuck about Teslas what’s fucked is goddamn insurance companies can just arbitraryly drop your coverage for no fault of your own. It should be illegal. Like sorry but you agreed to cover this, with all its flaws and took my money for years.

I really wish car/home/health insurance were just federalized. These companies are the oldest con perpetrated on the general public tbh.

That would make for a great comedy, bunch of engineers “defect” to USSR but just sabotage everything and are shit engineers.

Man if it wasn’t for that kid that was probably dragged into this, I’d be fucking rolling rn. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not see the sea of red flags???

this little bit of dunking

Ha I see what you did there

One of the deaths was a kid

Expanse hand terminal so close. Can have the iPhone rectangle kind or the slap it on your wrist kind.

What we really need is decentralized data and computing. Make phones super basic screens/radio hardware and all your data and computation done remotely. Makes hardware more renewable because you don’t need to buy one every 2 years, cheaper, and since it has so much less hardware you can do really cool designs like a single transparent glass chassis.

Yeah and that destroyer CO relieved of command for letting his sailors get treatment for COVID (before we had a vaccine) but this sailor just gets busted a rank for breaching OPSEC?! It’s not like she did it for fun, she’s probably compromised by some foreign actor. I’ve heard stories of the military making dumb decisions but damn.

Bad example at the end though, loads of of people use “dude” as a gender neutral term though. But yeah I take your meaning about assuming men in dev.

So VM? Actually makes sense.

Thoughts and prayers to the crypto scammers who have to interact with Trump supporters

Damn does Lemmy have a /r/DontYouKnowWhoIAm?!

Question, does the real distress signal, when flipped on the station have any automated features like closing hatches, warming up the landing module, or jettisoning hazardous storage?

They also really really work well, theyre over engineered like crazy but last forever.

I dunno but it involves Gluttonous amounts of whip cream

You mfer you made me actually read

Great setup but I kinda feel like he forgot to test the mirror checks while driving haha. Looks good at the start though. Definitely thinking about getting some tracking tech myself.
