  People are going to clock that you aren’t Chinese, even if you look as one. Hard to describe, but Chinese tourists can be recognized apart from people of Chinese descendency but that growth up in other places.

  Like 15 years ago my wife had one of these and she was a teacher f0r 12-13 yo and one of them asked “what is that” and other answer “and iphone, the really old ones, was not even a phone yet”. That interaction still haunts my wife.

  How much is the average used by daily drives? What about the 90% percentile. Something like 1000km must be on the extremely tail that. The only distance I can think of 1000km is going to and back from São Paulo to Rio.

  A 1000km range is a complete waste of resources.

  I downloaded the same track from soundcloud at 320kbps mp3 and bandcamp FLAC and played them at the same time in the VDJ changing from one song to the other and couldn’t feel any difference (the graphic Soundwave was also exactly the same). I had not tried it in actual club environment, but when the mp3 is really compressed it shows visually on the Soundwave

  My wife’s coworker girlfriend named “alexa” and he never go out for drinks and so after work because she didn’t let him, so they always tease him with “Alexa, can I go out to get a beer” “Permission denied. Come home immediately”. When they broke up and he got a new girlfriend, they named her Siri and joked that it was a upgrade because she let him drink with them after shift.

  Didn’t starlink satellites in really low orbit? Maybe you don’t need as sofisticate technology as with other satellites.

  What ia going to happen when countries decide that they don’t want starlink satellites over thei air space and start to blow them up?

  It would be hard to do? How much would that affect the general use of starlink for users on other parts of the world?
