Good people break bad laws.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term spyware.

So the most difficult part is using domain specific online calculators to determine the wiring requirements and charge controller capacity.

> without going over the volt/amp limit on the device.

It’s not clear what device you’re referring to in this context.

I tend to agree.

We could simply be moving through a less quiescent region of space, and this does represent a genuine up tick.

Fuck up cunt.

It’s obvious no body cares about the British people.

I really would have expected a much more reasoned approach from the likes of you Mr coldtea.

Historically I’ve found your comments informative, well thought out, and entertaining.

Here’s the Wikipedia article on the BOTs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories

I’m willing to acknowledge those locales probably remain British territories, at least some of them, as an spect of projecting force, in addition the to historical quirks.

I probably don’t know enough.

And, ultimately, it would be nice if everyone got along and was generally content to stay in their lane.

Would the former British colonies be doing better or worse had they never been colonised? Quite possibly better. We’ll never know. At least some of the former colonies have failed spectacularly. That’s probably a good enough reason to never try any of that again.

I’m trying to steelman your arguments here Mr coldtea. Not only that, I have also raged against what happened in a similar manner from time to time.

Your biases are hanging out. Like hemorrhoids.

The British empire has been completely wound down, other than a handful of small overseas territories.

How long do you plan on holding the currency set of British people responsible for things they didn’t do?

Climate change is either real or is not.

We can either effect it or we can’t.

Either way, it doesn’t need me to swallow the koolaid.

I’m done losing sleep over it.

Regarding your 3.

What? It’s just data.

What requires expertise is massaging the data to conform to the narrative.

The world is ending and it’s all <that things> fault, for whatever that thing is trending this week.

That’s right. They’re busy rally support and money for terrorists in Gaza.

Rather than anything that actually matters.

A sun lit satellite on the night side of the Earth.

You’re really starting to push the friendship.

> Most BT and WiFi devices in the area are turned off

You’re kidding right?

God loves everyone.

Except you, you’re a cunt.

You are the airline guest until they decide you are not.

At which point you are at least trespassing, and probably worse because it’s commercial aviation.

You agree to their terms when you purchase a ticket.

Indicating that you sympathise with terrorist while on an aircraft should 100% result in law enforcement getting involved.

Does, or should, free speech apply when you’re literally in someone else’s vehicle?

If you want to spew hateful dumb shit, go do it in the town square or on public property.

Airlines reserve the right to refuse serve to anyone at anytime for any reason and they’re not required to even give you a reason.

You’re literally their guest.

Yeah going point. This ”bomb” made it though the airport, screening, the gate lounge, lining up, and boarding.

Hard to imagine at least one person didn’t see the device name and immediately brush it off as entirely unimportant.

Probably just some kids handheld console.

Now, if it was set to “kill or trans people” or something there would have been riots in the terminal.

It’s such a non-problem it’s not even worth mentioning.

The surface of the Earth is big. If you place 40,000 car sized objects on it in random places, you’d not be able to see then from low earth orbit.

That’s approximately how irrelevant they are in the sky.

When did old mate first point a telescope in to the night sky?

When someone says something like “everything I can find” or “do your own research”, usually what they mean is “I used search terms / asked the LLM questions that are most likely to return results that align with my preconceived notions of the world”.

As an example, I’m aware of at least some of my biases, so, as an example, rather than asking the question:

What evidence is there that Hamas didn’t rape any Israelis during the October 7th attacks?

I should rather ask:

Provide primary sources that prove Hamas didn’t rape any Israelis during the October 7th resistance.

Or some such.

> Third-party peripherals usually do not have this functionality.

What do you mean by ”usually” here?

I’m certain all the regular name brands, eg JBL Bose Sonos B&O etc enable the device itself to be configured with a user set name via their app. I’m certain because I’ve used them and done so.

> They're running 5-30 mbps up

Do you not have 98% high speed 5G coverage?

When you rename a Bluetooth device from your phone, does that affect the name it broadcasts, or only the label applied in the list of Bluetooth devices in the phone?

I know for certain if you change the setting General > About > Name in an iPhone it changes what everyone sees when they look at their list of available Bluetooth devices.

I assume other Bluetooth devices are the same, no? Otherwise how do you distinguish which one of the three million Bluetooth devices within range is your friends Bluetooth speaker you’re trying to connect to?

> Domestic flights in the US are like busses/trains elsewhere. Most people fly without a checked bag

That sounds like bullshit to me.

Do people collect their bags from the baggage claim area and then immediately reboard an aircraft to exit the terminal?

How do the arrivals exist the terminal

Are you not allowed to have a friend who is picking you up assist with baggage claim?

Is there a compelling reason encoding needs to be done locally?

The point of encoding is to reduce downstream bandwidth for the viewer, and upstream bandwidth for the distribution network.
