Comment on NASA's 46-year-old Voyager 1 probe is no longer transmitting data
atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 11 months agoTitle is “no longer transmitting data.” If it’s repeating a pattern, then data is no longer being transmitted. Dropping an important word is kind of cherry picking.

Unreadable data is still data.

It’s not unreadable. It’s not data.
If you want to be pedantic you could say it’s “transmitting symbols”.
If I only typed out “abaababababbaab” over and over you wouldn’t call it “unreadable words.” You’d say it’s not words.

Omg, you can't just type "abaababababbaab" on the internet you filthy animal!
