I stopped at "pgit handled it.". The tldr was appreciated though as now I don't have to sieve though the LLM bloat.

Those are already automated by making your first question "Did you plug it in?", followed by "Did you actually plug it in?". Or industry equivalent. It's not like there wasn't any research into this in the past century.

The strict definition of the Geneva conventions does not include forced displacement but in some parts of the world that is included in the definition of. And legality is a matter of tribunal and none has been held so far.

Doesn't that require line of sight with limited receivers available? Maybe the current positioning is preventing it until the constellation changes. With the constellation that is the craft in respect to the two ground stations in a narrow patch of the US. I could not find anything about throughput rates except for the theoretical maximum but I also suspect that max is only in LEO.

If only there was an agreement in place to help with that. Oh wait, that got canned by someone when started this nonsense.

We've had the same issue in the Netherlands as the UK (telecom getting free infrastructure), and the end result is them blocking every fiber connection for years and then buying up all of the ones trying when it suited them. And the cable companies had a freebie for decades because they got most of their infra for free without the "share space" requirement (because only a major part, and not all, was funded by municipalities and it took a while to get them all in one company), and the cable companies decided not to invest in anything. And now we have the fiber-to-the-bottom where they are installing as fast as they can, but only with a governmental monopoly in place with dubious sharing agreements.

Due to "competition" and "fare ride" my soon to be (it's taken over 4 years and likely will take forever..) fiber will cost me 22 euro/month more than if I would have gotten the cable from across the road ... but the companies have "exclusive" rights since they would not have "financed" it otherwise (the quotes are all marketing bs).

In the UK, they split the infra provider (Openreach) from the consumer company (BT). So it's no longer BT giving access to the other providers.

In theory, BT has no special access to the infra at all, and they're on a level playing field with other providers.

That may not be perfectly true in practice, but my impression is there are no large differences between providers on the same infra. Choosing between providers mostly comes down to packaging and customer service in the end.

Lots of commandline tools will hold on to dear life except for the sigkill. I often have this with running background tasks which get one of their threads in an infinite loop or wait state.

This is article is likely LLM generated and it regurgitates as first go what the last resort should be. After seeing that command I stopped reading.

The ecological cost of moving the amount of people to even put a tiny dent in the earth's population would kill more and adjust the number that way than the actual moving would.
