How long have you been taking it? It just stopped working for me after 6 months.

GOS is limited by upstream support. Newer devices can be up to 6 years.

It’s metal ions. You can compensate for iron with manganese, but you’ll still get a grayish glass with reduced transmission.

Interesting how long an article you can write without mentioning overshoot even once.

There is less reason to demand certified blobs for WiFi because send power and frequency range is much lower. If there is no open hardware to run open source software I will stop buying it.

The Internet is a bunch of Autonomous Systems running open protocols like BGP. Packets have no passports.

Not energy. Just electricity. Fossil remains at 80+% of primary energy use.

What’s a reddit?

So I will have to import hardware or cease buying smartphones altogether. MiFi router tethering with WiFi tablets and dumbphones are quite enough.

Not me.

Welcome back!

While this will happen eventually, and circumvention takes skills, it is fundamentally possible, for motivated individuals.

In Germany they won’t cut off your Internet connection. They’ll send you a cease and desist for a few thousand euros.

Just use a VPN then.

Haven’t seen any age verification in BGP.

Hard to see how any country is going to let https://www.marineregions.org/gazetteer.php?p=details&id=8326 go to waste. Artificial islands have been maintained for less.

Dark Forest is not self consistent. Ability to travel implies nanotechnology which allows metabolizing any resource which deterministically leads to expansion which leads to self-selection for fastest expanders which soon means relativistic expansion which is hard to observe since observation window is short while pre-expansive observers are extinguished. Alernative is that nucleation density is very low and/or (reaching the stage of) travel and expansion is impossible. This is consistent with what we see, so Occam’s razor cuts Dark Forest.

Are you tired of winning yet?

To be fair, this already applies to any baseband blob.
