I believe they meant that the receivers/transmitters on Earth are likely newer than 50 years old. And you're also probably right that the hardware installed on the voyager could be several years older than the launch date of the craft

Not sure what your point is here since wrong code doesn't mean non-deterministic. How many of these yield different results with the same input and architecture?

Reolink has some good options in this area. Both wired and wireless security and doorbell cameras with microSD storage by default, but FTP and SFTP can also be used. I've been happy with my (wired) doorbell camera with just a microSD card.

I think this trend is partially driven by the silent auto play that happens on YouTube. Baked in subtitles help draw people into the video.

I'll add that it randomly brakes hard on the interstate because it thinks the speed limit drops to 45. There aren't speed limit signs anywhere nearby on different roads that it could be mistakenly reading either.

Go has maps, json parsing and http built in. I'm not exactly sure what this person is referring to. Perhaps they are mostly interviewing beginners?
