I could be wrong here, but are you sure that’s not a projected outcome due to the fallout vs present has happened. I don’t doubt it will, just not sure it has.

The people who knew they were going on that flight.

But with the epidemic of people falling out of windows that’s an easy problem to solve.

wtf, what is the point then lol.

I’d take a little nibble of the ice before making the juice.

Higher ups in the Urkainian military said that there was a lot of soldier bought, and donated starlink dishes, and trying to do a country wide whitelist was complicated, and soldiers said they didn’t want to report their dishes because they were worried they’d be confiscated for other uses. I’m sure civilians were worried about it as well.

Push came to shove though and they need to do it now.

edit: Like imagine being in some hell hole trench with a starlink you bought/donated and it’s your only lifeline outside, and you’re worried the higher ups are going to say, we need that dish for a seababy.

There are no 100% American made vehicles. Tesla is actually the top most American made vehicle and is not all American made.

It would have been even better if a Oreshnik missile was in the hanger. Who needs anti-air when you can just take it out on the ground!

I wonder how many civilian plane crashes it’ll take to help wake up the Russian population.

The author has retracted that statement. It was always off, Musk simply didn’t turn it on.

He was talking to me that night as it was happening. He said ‘We’re not enabling it on the Crimean coast.’ I thought ‘Okay that means he shut it off that night.’ He later said to me, and I’m sure he’s right, that it had been a policy already in place, that he had already decided not to allow — to geofence, it’s called — the Crimean coast. And that night, all he did was reaffirm the policy.

Starlink is not a military weapon, it is a consumer / business tool. By using Starlink as a weapon it puts Starlink/SpaceX under different regulations which they can’t be under. Crimea was technically Russian controlled as well, and they weren’t allowed to offer service in Russian occupied areas.

SpaceX wanted the government to be handling all of this so it would be fine and dandy, but the government wasn’t. AFTER this happened, it helped give a shove to the government / military to step in and take control of Starlink in Ukraine. Now the US government/military is the one who dictates what should be happening in Ukraine with Starlink, as it should be.

They could have done a whitelist from day 1, but Ukraine didn’t want to do a whitelist initially. It means having to register every single terminal including non-military in the country.

There was an article as well when this drone / dish thing came up that one official said there are a lot of non-military dishes being used by military personnel who either purchased their own, or had it donated, and they are afraid that by registering it, the military would take it from them for other purposes, but they have to do it now as there’s no other practical solution and the Starlink controlled drones needed to be stopped as they were too hard to intercept/jam.

In terms of stopping the drone usage with a speed limit, that also stopped Ukraine from using drones. It wasn’t a Russia only fix it was a emergency region wide fix to stop all drones over a certain speed. Only with the whitelist can Ukraine continue to use them at high speeds.

It’s not a simple as you seem to want it to be.

Not gonna lie, I was morbidly looking forward to how they were going to rule against California while still upholding Texas.

There is a lot that’s been going on with these files, but the island wasn’t only underage girls right? It was underage and just legal types?

So it’s possible Bill never partook in the underage stuff, still got the STD, but is still a scumbag since just being involved with it all means he knew what was going on even if he didnt put his dick in it.

So he either is a pedo, or knowingly supported a large group of them.

Just put the cpu by all the ports?

Ugh, that is bonkers.

When they knock something over while staring you down a few moments before they do it.

The future is where ram is now a scarce item and everything comes with a easy pop in/out external ram slot and people are expected to move ram between devices.

It’d be like a SD card reader on laptop on all new hardware, but for ram.

There goes my hope that they had some rock solid contracts for many years of ram in place before prices were stupid.

Tying efficiency standards to square footage was a blindingly stupid move that lead directly to the massively oversized luxotrucks that now dominate our roads with their four foot high child-killing front-ends.

I have no hope they’ll have learned and understand this lesson =(

I’m not a lawyer either, but I think you’re missing some aspect of intent that would be required to make it against the law.

Rivian for example was (is?) selling their cars at a negative gross margin because they couldn’t sell them for a profit for years. If you can’t sell something at a loss, so many businesses would be breaking the law when they start out, maybe legitimately almost every single business. (edit: your stance would make Rivian be forced to sell cars for prices no one would pay)

If the intent was to destroy another company by doing it, then that could fall under anti-competitive laws. In this case, the intent isn’t to destroy other hardware, it would be to help stabalize the ridiculous increase in prices knowing they could make it up in game sales.

Lock down will do things like disable biometrics, but the phone has still been unlocked and is no longer in a fully encrypted state like it is if powered off.
