Echo Dot

Honestly I wouldn’t mind so much if someone created an AI that was actually useful.

Apparently it really annoyed all six of Xboxs customers

In fact if you don’t have a substance abuse problem and/or a degenerative brain disease I think they would consider you to be overqualified.

Any subsequent school shootings an aberration and can be safely ignored.

Honestly I quite like space.

Better solution is to just kill like six people. Because that’s all the AI industry is, it’s six really annoying rich guys who are having the most extravagant pissing contest in history.

So now is the perfect time to buy a case.

I like watching sci-fi made in the 80s and 90s where they thought that 2015 was a really advanced distant prospect.

According to valves hardware survey over half of all gamers have hardware less powerful than the Steam Machine so provided valve don’t go mad with the pricing that may actually end up happening.

I think the steam deck and the switch 2 are probably too low power to be reasonable targets.

That’s pretty impressive since teams barely even runs on windows.

So now notepad is the worst of both worlds. It doesn’t do rich text formatting but it does support some random markdown features. But only some, not all. So it’s useless as a markdown editor.

Oh and it has tabs now and saves on exit, which fortunately you can turn off.

He should be awarded the Nobel prize for advancing environmental causes.

It’s not only unlikely it functionally impossible. It would require the complete collapse of every system in existence in order to be even marginally probable.

You’re wanting a system to re-enter under extreme heat, survive, and necessarily hit a populated area with enough mass to do destructive damage.

Likelihood of that happening accidentally are so low is do not be worth calculating. But yeah I’m sure you have some sort of point.

A collision event is considered any event where a satellite passes within a ridiculously large distance of another satellite. It doesn’t mean they’re necessarily going to collide.

In the incredibly unlikely event that all of the things that you have stated happen everything would clear out within 12 to 18 months which given the fact you’ve just decimated 21st century civilisation is probably the least of everyone’s concerns anyway.

If someone decides heat resistant ceramic is cheaper all is well until that cames down and we discover it doesn’t vaporize like iron

Yeah because that’s likely. You do realise that everything that goes up has to pass inspections right they don’t just let people do random things. Anything that gets put in orbit is verified by people way smarter than you or me. You really don’t need to worry about it.

There’s lots of stuff in this world to be concerned about but being hit by the orbiting asteroid is absolutely not one of them.

Why what are they gonna do profile it?

Why bother they just target random people anyway. I have never seen any indication that their behaviour is in any way directed.

They’re about the size of a large flat screen TV. I have no idea why they reached the pickup trucks, they might have the width but they’re only a couple of inches thick. A flat screen is a much better analogy.

I don’t remember that happening. I would actually be surprised if a satellite would survive reentry with basically anything left of it. If you want to return something from orbit you need heat shield or you’re not getting it back.

Even the ISS is expected to completely burn up and that’s much higher mass than a starlink satellite

Well if the atmosphere decides it’s going to have a day off then I’ll start to worry.

The temperatures generated by reentry are not just hot enough to vaporize a satellite they are way beyond hot enough to vaporize a satellite. I can’t imagine any scenario where a satellite survives. In any case the vast majority of the orbits are controlled, Which means they come down over the ocean.

Every time somebody mentions Kessler syndrome they always seem to forget that low earth orbit is an area literally bigger than the earth’s surface. There’s about 10,000 of them and they are spread out over an area bigger than the surface of the earth. Meanwhile there are way more than 10,000 trucks in the world and apparently they are twice the size, and yet there are huge swaths of land that do not currently have a truck on them. I think we’ll be okay.

Although I do accept they are probably irritating for astronomers.
