lol, what an insane idea…
A physical cable back to Earth is impossible, otherwise we’d already have space elevators.
Any other wireless transmission would have all the same weather problems and energy losses, it would be WAY cheaper to just build more solar panels on the ground.

I think you’re missing the point this article is trying to make… It’s not an advertisement for Flipper Zero, it’s a scare piece implying the device’s existence is bad

Weren’t Kia Boys stealing cars with literally just a USB cable since it physically fit to turn the ignition behind the key cylinder?
That doesn’t require buying a special device, it was mostly crimes of convenience. I doubt the Flipper Zero will ever get that widespread.

That’s not ~600 Megawatts, it’s 587 Megawatt-hours.

Or in other terms that are maybe easier to understand: 5875 fully charged 100kWh Tesla batteries.

A Megawatt is a unit of power not energy. It means nothing without including the duration, like Megawatt-hours

Still $10m… ffs. Nobody needs $1B

Just because they stopped selling it doesn’t mean it’s free. The only legal way to aquire MacOS is to buy an Apple product, or somehow get an upgrade from one of those old paid versions (which since this happens through the App Store now, you still need an Apple product).

Windows is also not free even though you can download the iso. There’s license terms

The last version of MacOS I used was $130 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Tiger

I think their point is there’s nothing stopping Lemmy mods from using the exact same type of AI summarization tools. It may not be built-in, but many instances have their own addons for improving moderation

I’m guessing companies aren’t hiring fully remote new grads. And to be honest, I think that would be really tough as an employee, because it can be so hard to learn from coworkers while remote. Getting started on a new remote team is rough enough as it is

Honestly Seattle is a pretty good place for tech jobs, it’s just that the cost of living isn’t much better than California or other big tech hubs.

I like this mentality. I might start telling people the same thing
