Man that is a lot of computer to put into that product for as little money as possible. I'm not intending to excuse the products with likely bad firmware causing most of these issu…

When you design electronics you have to produce millions of, it takes a couple of dev 'spins' and usually a couple of prod 'spins' to get to the mass market board. Usually the PMs,…

I mean the EEs / MEs can certainly turn out a board and housing in under 6 months, certainly on a yearly cycle. Though for the current automakers, they don't have a team for this s…

As someone who works professionally on embedded software devices that update over the internet, car companies are stuck not because they can't get software talent, but because they…

It is likely that Rogers agrees to pay Starlink a fee when Starlink acts as a roaming provider for one of their customers, where Starlink has slow and limited speeds but universal …

The satellite emulates a cell tower, just one that is hundreds of miles away and moving very fast. So some tricks with the timing will need to happen since LTE expects the tower to…

Starlink already does this today for Indonesia, they provide backhaul for remote cell towers for Telkomsat. https://voi.id/en/technology/178276

Honestly, to just get moving, installing Doom emacs and selecting evil mode during setup. The basic keybinds are all Vim then, works great for me with minimal headache.

Seems like begging the question, they assume it is a CCP honeypot and then push the false dichotomy with the voice back end? *edit s/video/voice/

It seems like, if you wanted to help stop the wealthy from ducking paying taxes, one should just stop providing a special long term capitol gains tax and tax capitol gains the same…

I see the resale value of the recycling as subsidizing the cost of the recycling service. We pay for,(or your taxes do, depends on where you live) trash/recycling because then some…

For sure, the FDA employs pharmaceutical engineers to regulate the companies. The FAA employs pilots and aviation engineers. Do we have a corollary for software? Sort of, in specif…

Well, people expect a company to not try to ride the high horse down the low road. I don't personally think Mozilla has really done anything bad, I get it, they are a real company,…

The metaphor seems apt to me, if anything, we should have and do have a much greater interest in regulation of automotive products, which themselves are absurdly complex. How is a …

In my opinion, a big thing many developers forget, especially those that are obsessed with design patterns and code rules, is that simple machines to solve complex problems are act…

Eh, eye of the beholder. The stronger type system and more verbose syntax certainly makes the code look different. In a way though, it makes the code much more readable. To pick on…

The actual modem that talks to the sats is in the antennas you mount on the roof. They are calling that the "terminal"

Unclear until the pricing comes out, they may just include it for free when you buy internet service. But ISPs generally need to package at least something to serve Wifi for custom…

I'd bet this is the box you place inside your house to serve Wifi, and run ethernet up to the roof to connect to the modem/antenna on the roof, hence this being essentially a bog s…

Yes, it is pretty standard to package an access point in with the modem. No idea if they will just include the router in the internet price, or rent it monthly on top of standard c…

Second this whole thing. Wasn't a runner growing up, recently ran a marathon which was fun, now I am back to just running 5 miles for regular exercise. Honestly got into it as a me…

It really is impressive how many taps it takes me to do anything in MFP. Why are there so many damn menus, I just want to input calories and see a counter. It is so overly complex …

That is a solid point, at the end of the day, programming languages and frameworks are just tools we use to build a product that has some use to someone (Be that monetary value or …

It is interesting that streaming content economically is pretty hard at scale. That was a big moat for Netflix for a long time, but every year it gets filled in a little more as ot…

While I don't disagree with the California law, it is reasonable for a company to hold copyright over it's materials and products. I'm not sure a California state law can just hand…
