Fingers crossed! I hope I’m a fucking idiot!

Are you not concerned? I’ve never identified as a Luddite… but am I?

I understand that. Still was a beautiful day. Sometimes it's okay to smile amidst the pit of despair we've dug ourselves into. I played outside with my dog half the day and it made my soul happy, and I'm okay with that. It's fine that you feel differently, I assumed this would be the majority of responses.

Not trying to be negative here, but it's not a nice day. It's called global warming, and it's fucking depressing.

I pasted the response from google on rules for satellites with the reference. My bad for not being clear.
Also, it’s the a confusing statement.

I wish I could be there to see your face when you read below.
> Right now there are 3,580 starlink satellites. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites are planned to be deployed, with a possible later extension to 42,000.

Sorry, no; not a fakebot. Just my fear for the natural world via a random thought.

Exactly. So what’s next on the continuous improvement cycle?

Ok. Thank you… thumb up…breathing. I’ll take a minute to fact check your response. Meanwhile, do you believe the machine of commerce will not overcome this obstacle?

This is some “Sputnik is reading our minds” level lunacy lmao
Nobody is going to advertise in the sky even if it were magically technologically feasible. The negative public reaction would be RABID and the company would suffer.

If it’s not under warranty from Dell, probably toast. A local repair place isn’t likely to be able to repair unless it’s a simple solder, and certainly won’t have a board replacement.

Yeah, why does this whole post read so strangely?

Okay, so you saw 52 satellites.
But there's over 3500 Starlink sats in orbit right now. How often do you see those?
Starlink birds are only easily visible right after they are launched, while the orbit is still being raised. Once they reach their operational orbit, not only are they much further away, but the sun shield is in position to almost completely eliminate them from view. You would only possibly see them at certain times during twilight, and even then only faintly.
Calm down.

LOL 😂 it already is an ad! Everyone knows that it is starlink. That’s the advertisement, the light are unnecessary.

They don’t have to be.
If the power socket is broken off of the motherboard it’s basically not fixable.

Sounds like it’s time to just buy a new laptop.

Who cares, neither side gives a shit about any important issues, they just want your money. I can’t wait to die so I don’t have to be around humans anymore.

The charger broke off inside of the port, so I bought a new charger. That didn’t work, then I realized that the port broke, too, so I replaced the port. This still didn’t work. When I plugged the new charger into the port, the charging light would turn on for a moment then turn back off. At this point I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

This is actually the side plot of Michael Crichton's Next it's all about scientists developing new spaces for advertising, including satellites and genetically engineered animals.
