“Thermal Noise” is a phenomenon where everything makes EM noise, just from thermal energy.

If you were to put such a TV in a faraday cage, with an RF termination, you would see something similar. Because noise is inherently part of the circuitry and amplifiers.

Just wait, there will be “features” that are mandatory on most sites, only supported in chrome.

Must be a hallucination

I bet money Russia starts getting absurdly good. And they’ll have really good info. And it will be because of starlink.

If the car uses 5g, ang 5g is no longer available, how do you connect to a server

Maybe make it based on sales. $X, Y sales, or Z years, whichever comes first.

Obscufating the location of the starlink unit isn’t possible. It inherently requires positioning to function at all.

Starlink uses phased array antennas for beamforming, both on the earth base station and on the satelite station. That means the antenna is very directional by using some complex math and multiple tranceivers feeding an antenna array.

That means the satelite must know where you are within like 10s of km. Otherwise it can’t tell where to beam your data.

It’s kinda exactly why cell towers can locate you. And why you can’t avoid that.

Look at this article from March 2024: https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media/in-the-news/cnbc-house-democrats-probe-spacex-over-alleged-illegal-export-and-use-starlink

In a statement on Thursday, the congressmen wrote, “Russia’s use of Starlink satellite terminals would be in contravention of U.S. export controls that prohibit Russia from acquiring and utilizing U.S.-produced technology.”

So the equipment has to fall into the wrong hands, through a somehow compromised supply chain. Maybe that could happen without starlink knowing, but they really should have figured that out in march. They should have very easily identified the units that were potentially compromised by auditing shipping logs.

Not only did the supply chain have to be compromised, but also the subscription and payments system… How did they not catch it on the subscription payment side? Now in addition to a compromised supply chain, a financial institution was compromised? At the least, they didn’t do their due dilligance in customer verification.

How could russia have set up the equipment without some level of development and testing? Geolocation should have given that development away.

Now, could spaceX do something more about this ? Most likely. But that is resources you need to put on this, which is not profitable.

Yeah good point, that’s called “negligence”. Not doing due dilligance or taking the necessary steps to avoid breaking the law, because it isn’t profitable, isn’t a valid legal defense.

It really would have been as simple as geofencing against devices that weren’t preauthorized or whitelisted.

I’m not convinced there was an issue with 12th gen. I had instability with the 12900k until the latest bios update.

I bet the screen is less prone to scratching from anything in your pockets

Warm take, but that’s what makes a burger good

There’s plenty of infectious agents that can just lay dormant almost indefinitely.

There’s major concern about viruses coming from the melting permafrost in regions like Siberia.

If you want to hear something even more terrifying, prions can last about indefinitely. Chronic wasting disease in deer is particularly bad because a deer might die and its remains will decompose into the earth. But vegetation will later grow, and some of those prions will have contaminated the new vegetation. A new deer will get infected by eating that vegetation, even years later.

Or a catacomb

Physical locks and keys are also easy to bypass.

Especially if X# of cameras are down

Capacitive sensors don’t measure the body’s signals. Capacitance is a physical property of a material. The sensor puts out a signal and measures the response.

I can use a gallon of milk to scroll my phone. Just tried.

No, logical “or” isn’t exclusive. XOR is one and only one.
