First thought when seeing this was this is their first step into satellite technology, whats the odds they will own a satellite constellation in the next 5-8 years

On the flip side, looking at a CV of a regular job hopper does give me pause

I love this era of Self Hosted tools, it really has echoes of the fun of early computing

the auld mortgage driven development strategy

Similarly the Irish President https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/only-in-irelandpreside...

Very cool, how do you get the camera to point to the right place?

Especially when you consider

It feels like this site is a marketing effort yet to reveal itself.

Yes, I had to swap to an alternative phone while my phone was been repaired - it seems that it becomes mandatory when moving phone

>In much of Europe oncoming cars flash their lights to warn others about dangers and (especially) speed traps or police checks, so they can slow down in time. >Here in Lithuania, flashing your warning lights (the four orange ones on the corners of the car) means thanks,

Those behaviours are common in Ireland too

From T3 (I believe this was a cut scene too) but really enjoyed the backstory for the T800 chassis and voice https://youtu.be/kayFrIR-Qfw

I wonder will Apple move from structured light to dToF for Face ID, I’d imagine that would mean increased accuracy and a reduction in the component count.

Virgin Media? I know they have started issuing IPv6 addresses now and you must specify IPv4 if that’s what you need

This is the kind of experimentation and play that drives society

Wont the magnets in the phone stick to keys, coins, stuff on the desk etc?

I've always been partial to "Do your duty, come what may" not that applied it. I believe the quote is attributed to the Knights Templar

The first 'real' computer I used as an Acorn A3020 (after Commodore 64, Amstrad 6128+) but I remember using an IBM PC at the time and been quite unimpressed. The Acorn just felt so modern at the time, I have quite a fondness for those machines.

While not touch many Airbus aircraft feature a full keyboard and trackball for operating those screens.

It surprises me how many people don't use a clipboard manager. I use PasteBot on the Mac.

> There were no indications of foul play. Yup
