It’s not clear what device you’re referring to in this context.

Historically I’ve found your comments informative, well thought out, and entertaining.

Here’s the Wikipedia article on the BOTs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories

I’m willing to acknowledge those locales probably remain British territories, at least some of them, as an spect of projecting force, in addition the to historical quirks.

I probably don’t know enough.

And, ultimately, it would be nice if everyone got along and was generally content to stay in their lane.

Would the former British colonies be doing better or worse had they never been colonised? Quite possibly better. We’ll never know. At least some of the former colonies have failed spectacularly. That’s probably a good enough reason to never try any of that again.

I’m trying to steelman your arguments here Mr coldtea. Not only that, I have also raged against what happened in a similar manner from time to time.

Progressive!

You’re really starting to push the friendship.

You’re kidding right?

The surface of the Earth is big. If you place 40,000 car sized objects on it in random places, you’d not be able to see then from low earth orbit.

That’s approximately how irrelevant they are in the sky.

What do you mean by ”usually” here?

I’m certain all the regular name brands, eg JBL Bose Sonos B&O etc enable the device itself to be configured with a user set name via their app. I’m certain because I’ve used them and done so.

Do you not have 98% high speed 5G coverage?

I know for certain if you change the setting General > About > Name in an iPhone it changes what everyone sees when they look at their list of available Bluetooth devices.

I assume other Bluetooth devices are the same, no? Otherwise how do you distinguish which one of the three million Bluetooth devices within range is your friends Bluetooth speaker you’re trying to connect to?

If all the ice melted it would raise the oceans by something like 230 feet, so modern Vienna would still be above water at 495 – 1778 ft elevation.

Although some estimates suggest Earth loses 20 - 30 cubic kilometres of water to space annually. Plus whatever water is bound up in mineralisation annually.

450 million cubic kilometres of water lost over a 15 million year period would lower ocean by something like … a bit?

The total volume of water on Earth is presently estimated to be around the 1.386 billion cubic kilometre mark.

The volume of a sphere increases to the cube of its radius … carry the 1 … nup, that’s to hard for me.

Beach front property in Vienna, at a guess?
