Leasing tower space at this scale could generate substantial revenue for tower operators. SpaceX's strategy is to combine two complementary technologies: Ground-based cell sites providing reliable coverage in populated areas. by Starlink satellites extending connectivity into remote areas. Providing another route for reaching devices beyond conventional terrestrial coverage.

The Web will soon be, so as we get all our information filtered through corporate AI bots :o

Blame the people that made clicking on a URL or opening an email attachment a security hazard. Perhaps the industry standard could try making computers that don’t fall apart when someone does.

Or a leveraged financing chain: Starting with a base capitol of 10,000 with 10% cumulative interest over a three tier loan multiplier. You end up with 10 million to finance an office block. You sell the office block for 30 million and pay back the loan. Leaving you with 13.17 million.

Without delivering goods or services there would be no ROI.

What's shocking about seeing if a vosting machine cam be hacked. Especially if there is no audit trail or paper record. Or which voting machines can be hacked through the Internet?

Without profit and financial reward there wouldn't be communities. The function of business is to generate profits and deliver goods and services to consumers. The employees of such get paid salaries that they get to decide what to spend on.

* Bing search results for alternative browsers a large panel titled ‘All you need is right here’ is displayed.

* On the Chrome download page a large blue banner proclaims ‘Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft’.

* Windows 11 run for the first time screen prompts to import other browser settings and in the process enable Edge as default.

* Windows 10 11 migration: Microsoft’s Windows Backup utility does not properly transfer an alternative browser and its default status. After restore, Edge is silently set as the default instead.

* AI / Copilot: Microsoft’s Copilot overrides the user’s chosen default browser and opens links in Edge. Researchers also flag a possible “pipeline” of consent requests that could funnel browsing data (including from rival browsers) into Microsoft’s advertising and personalization systems.

> If you listen to what Torvalds says ..

Linus Torvalds: “AI is a great new tool, but it’s a tool, and when I see people saying, ‘Hey, 99% of our code is written by AI,’ I literally get angry, because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — that 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that.”

> .. certain details have been swept under the rug—chiefly that Torvalds' only significant vibe-coded contribution to the kernel thusfar was a ten-patch modification to page-caching that was promptly rescinded when other maintainers pointed out a race condition hidden in Claude Code's verbose output. [thenewstack.io] Torvalds ultimately dumped the mess onto human coder Kiryl Shutsemau's lap.

Perish the thought that the lead kernel maintainer would collaborate with other developers /s

“Linus Torvalds used Claude Code to build a Linux page cache fix that hit 23x read throughput, but kernel reviewers found a race before anything merged.”

Amanda Caswell: “.. Linus Torvalds turned to Anthropic’s Claude Code to tackle a kernel performance problem that developers have struggled with for more than two years”

“Torvalds had spent 18 months running a broken version of his own fix for the page-cache reference-counting bottleneck, while other developers had encountered problems with their approaches.”

“Reviewers have since identified a race condition and raised concerns about memory reclamation.”

“Torvalds has handed further development to Kiryl Shutsemau, a Linux kernel developer who previously worked on the same bottleneck.”

HN June 2024: “I imagine many users haven't updated their routers and thus may be hacked. In my case the hacker installed Pawns app from IPRoyal, which makes the router a proxy server and lets hacker and IPRoyal make money. The hacker also stole system logs containing information about who and when they use the device, whether any NAS is attached. They also had a reverse shell.”

> Even since Gnome Shell was released, I've always used the Super key to show the app overview, however not only has that been disabled in this release, but I also can no longer set the Super key to do anything on it's own in the new keyboard shortcut settings.

Method 1: The Terminal Command (gsettings)

Bash: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key 'Super_L'

(If your keyboard uses the right Super key instead, substitute 'Super_R'.

Bash: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings toggle-overview "['Super_L']"
--

Method 2: Locking it in via dconf-editor (For persistence across screen locks)

Bash: sudo apt install dconf-editor

Open Dconf Editor from your app launcher (or run dconf-editor in the terminal).

Navigate to: /org/gnome/mutter/

Look for overlay-key, click on it, turn off "Use default value", and set the custom value to 'Super_L'.

Do the same for /org/gnome/shell/keybindings/toggle-overview if needed
