But yeah, if it is going down almost vertically then this will not be enough.

Imagining people buying scrap AI hardware from creditors or bankruptcy auctions & harvesting all the HBM RAM chips and NAND storage chips to sell & throwing away the useless AI optimized compute chips and unusable enterprise interconnects.

There were some early attempts in mobile Linux distros, like original Ubuntu Touch or even Nokias MeeGo and it turns out the main issue is actually improving security while not blocking whole categories of applications from working.

In the early Ubuntu Touch case I remember that you had to as a user allow your image viewer access to individual pictures from SD card, one by one, to see them in the app. This made it basically useless.

In the MeeGo use case IIRC third party chroot/shell environments like Termux were impossible due to the way their security/sandboxing system was setup. At the same time all apps had internet and microphone access & it was impossible to disallow it per app.

It was proposed as nuclear warhead delivery method though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Orbital_Bombardment...

Again, not that problematic for missiles due to shorter flight times and single-use ablative heatshields being viable.

Basically these make it much more likely you loose ships if they stop moving for any reason.

It basically looks like Amazon gave up in at least Central Europe and local companies are eating their lunch, but better.

I used it successfully for all the cheap and/or rare second hand books available on Japanese Amazons that Amazon will normally not ship internationaly (as its actually a miriad of small sellers listing the via Amazon and often only shipping domestically).

Unless you can actually prove what your model has ingested & if you have the license for it in court.

But guess if you use some sort of fluid in them, you could use a reservoir of it for shielding something.

Chinese mega constellations on higher orbits & their spent stages left in space are a bigger issues.

Still in case it got going & made higher orbits unusable, starlink would likely still work just fine on the lower self-cleaning orbits, not to mention using a partial (and hopefully soon full) RLV for replenishment.

* one day remote printing no longer works, you need to set it up again or even get into prolonged debugging session

* remote printing works one ane device but not other

* one color toner cartridge on a color laser printer is empty or near empty, printer refuses to print without all manners of overrides on the local control panel, making it unusable for non-technical users

Well, the last point is basically sabotage by the manufacturer to make you buy more stuff, as it can print B/W perfectly fine or with slighly less quality until that one cartridge is replaced. But I guess that kinda proves my original point. :)

There are are also regular software checks for overheating or thermistor wiring failing & we know they are there and are enabled as we built the Marlin firmware ourself from source (which is quite easy once you properly configure it). Not to mention we are sure we are the ones in control over the firmware.

We also have a bunch of web cameras watching the printers print that we can monitor remotely.
