I think the current problem is that as the gen 2 satellites are bigger and heavier they can't launch as many.

It's probably a fair point - any fire there is now going to be burning a while load of artificial materials instead (as well as) plants. I could see that being an issue if there was a big fire. (Much larger cost to the farmer too!)

What is the problem with it? It's a video encoding format right?

You can't turn fitbits off (at least the fitness trackers). They are their on or flat (as far as I'm aware anyway)

If your willing to spend the money, testing things in practice can be much quicker than planning everything out. They admitted that they didn't expect it to reach orbit and that anything beyond the launchpad would be a success. I suspect that Elon pressured them to launch too early though.

The SLS is built using tried and tested technology, so it should have (and did) work, but due to (effectively) corruption it's stupidly expensive per launch.

The falcon 9 was 'impossible' to re-use untill they did it. It's now revolutionised the launch business. If they can do that again by doing the 'impossible' then it will have been worth it.

I do kinda agree with you on the lack of an escape system though, but if they can prove reliability on unmanned missions then it could work.

You can set the encryption strength though, so I guess you could set it high and could even have it untrusted.

Mine takes a while to open on my phone because of that

I did a school report on lightning 20(!) Years ago and included these. It's strange we seem to know little more about them other than having better photos now.

Also doesn't appear to be able to handle that the article is over 4 pages

I'm on £5 a month for 5Gb data. I don't think I have ever gone over 2 without tethering.

I'm on WiFi practically everywhere I go - even have it on the train, tend not to use it though as data is faster.

Possibly I haven't done a full daily drive attempt for a decade at this point. Just some usage in VMs etc.

I still don't think the game support is fully there though, even with proton?

It "just works" (hah using that quote for windows) though. I probably have the tech knowledge to do everything I want on Linux, but I don't want to have to struggle through it or take the performance hit on non native games

Most of those (ignoring 1) are browser problems, not mobile problems. The browser's handle it fine on desktops (most of the time)

I guess it's mostly the mobile size sites doing extreme styling to get thinfs to fit (partly 2). I guess next time I find a bad site I should try it on a shrunk desktop window.
