All the things up there can be contacted with radio. Some downstream data is easly readable. Sending is another thing, but satelites are in public communication space.

KTY84 temperature sensors come to my mind too. But even software, look at the CR,LF thing. This is from before computers had screens and it's still kind of a thing / different between Linux, Mac and Windows (ok, 2026 most editors can handle it)

Why not 256, "because of bandwith costs". An adblocker does save bandwith costs, but not a handful bytes from an ID.

You have to activate it manually?

There is a well known solution. Look at most PET bottles. The thread (mostly on the cap) is not continuous. That's for the pressure to relieve before the cap is off, and that could happen from a coke bottle or so to you.

Cheating with weather sensor is not new.

Wrecked rain gauges. Whistleblowers. Million-dollar payouts and manhunts.

80 bits is just in the processor. Thats why you might a little bit different result, depending how you calculated first and maybe stored something in the RAM

Even I'm a big space fan, at moment I just can enjoy anything that comes from USA. I just can't applause to a super bully.

Just today afternoon, I did read a bit trough Adobes EULA and I saw most of Adobes Software is not allowed to be used from children. I guess most (todays) software are not allowed for children because of the whole user tracking and spying.

Recently someone showd me a cellphone picture from something he saw in our company. He was not brave enought to make a screenshot (with the companys computer), so he made just a photo with his cellphone from the screen. So, this is a thing.

For ex. in a lot factorys, is is forbidden to make pictures (and movies). So maybe you just don't have access to such areas. In Switzerland pen cameras etc. are just forbidden.

There are a lot of creeps out there. In summertime I'm pretty often tanning in nude beaches. Almost every time, somewhere there is a guy around with a cellphone or such a spy glass.

A kind of the same happend to music. With a LP or a tape, you had to listen to all songs. Later with a CD you just skipped the not so good songs. And with MP3, you don't even bothered to save not so good songs. And now with TikTok etc. a song just have to be 20sec but has to bang hard for this short time.

People change, not just since the 90s. Just look an old movie, like Dirty Harry, or look pictures from athletes in the 70s, 80s. It does not so much plays a role, as long you try in a store. But online it sucks very much right now. Recently I ordered a pair of pants, and it was something like 3 sizes smaller, than the same model in another color. I'm not sure, if online stores and factorys think people would not return the item and just order a size larger or smaller again. I think thats also a point where the EU should push, a true size with cm.

How large is the controlled area around the car? And how high do they look for objects? Like something is falling from a bridge, a falling pole or more extreme an falling plane.
