yes! fucking finally!

oh ok, thx

disappointed that ammonia isnt on the list yet, or is that included in fertilizers?

It could be a similar issue as with electricians and electrical contacts: in principle there are far better alternatives to slotted, but because literally every electrician has a number of slotted screwdrivers anyway, slotted is cheap and changing the screw type for a product like a circuit breaker is just a huge hassle for everyone involved nobody bothers.

Edit: actually for circuit breakers the combo of slotted and pozidrive is becomming more common recently. i guess that doesn’t work for small screws though.

M1 works just fine with Hexalob T4 though.

dont let the dream tax people catch you working while asleep. https://dresdencodak.com/2006/10/07/summer-dream-job/

Some people should just grow up already :)

why are you putting hackers in quotes? they presented their findings at a hacker conference and they used some cool hacks to fix trains, does that not qualify them as hackers?

Reading the wiki article reveals they used whoever was available and cheap: Soyus 2 (Russian, until 2022), LVM 3 (Indian,since 2022), Falcon 9 (USA, since 2022)

It makes sense for a company that does not build rockets to just use whats on the market.

i think for Ariane 6 the marginal cost of a launch is simply still too high to ever get to those numbers. Maybe Ariane 7 will be better in that regard, assuming they manage to make the boosters reusable.

This is not foolproof (read the paper for details) but it can help to protect peoples identities if used correctly.

Eutelsat

OneWeb is owned by Eutelsat and i think that is the one they refer to in the article. OneWeb satelites use 450 km - 1200 km orbits so 3 to 8 ms delay assuming the signal goes straight up and straight down again.
