I think another one that's worth adding is Infinity Train. It's targeted at a slightly younger audience, but is a great sci-fi animated show.

Each season follows its own characters with a little bit of overlap.

Basically outside of the steam deck all x86 devices are large and cost $1000. However, android gaming devices have a wide range of form factors (clamshell, dual screen, etc) ranging from $200-$800ish.

In my experience, support is nowhere near steam deck (maybe half, if that) and you aren't going to be playing many 3D games, but it's great for indie titles.

So if you're looking for a smaller form factor to play indie games (including some older/lightweight 3D games) on the cheaper side, the android handhelds are an interesting option.

Disabling/destroying a satellite has only been shown to be feasible by a handful of militaries in the world in very controlled situations.

Unless you mean you disable it via commands to the satellite, but that assumes there is a way to disable it and that you know who can disable it and can force them to do so.

Yeah, that was my point. Like all technology it has potential to liberate communications, but also enable bad actors. However, to me, it's the biggest reason why this technology would matter at all.

Well, that's one way to get circumcised.

What's crazy is that this seems to showTrumps ICE has been undermining trust in federal officers.

There is a big difference between "Is it acceptable to help an illegal immigrant avoid Ice" and "Is it acceptable to help a legal immigrant stay in the country". However these concepts are getting blurred together as ICE continues to go after immigrants who are following proper procedures to stay in the country.

Even if you don't believe the idea of illegal vs legal matters, Americans have historically been torn over this issue. This poll seems to indicate though, that as ICE goes after "effectively legal" immigrants it appears to be turning the population more "pro-immigrant".

I don't think anyone was expecting zero casualties, I think that's the main reason why an overwhelming majority of Americans didn't want to attack Iran.

That was not a "good read" :(

I feel like on part no one ever mentions on things like this are, how do you enforce any jurisdiction on a satellite and what it's doing.

The main crazy thing about a satellite data enter is you can't confiscate it and therefore you can't control it. Hell once it's up there the only thing any government might be able to do is find the owner and force them to crash it (if possible).

It in a sense sounds a bit like the wild west of the original internet. Admittedly Musk being at the forefront of it all sounds terrible, but I think there is something fascinating about an information hub that could be completely independent of any country.

Republicans repeatedly blocked Bidens attempts to forgive student loans. It has been clear for a long time that Republicans do not support access to education at any level given their attempts to attack DoE, promote charter schools, attack libraries, and pretty much any pro-education stance.

I can't wait for another poll to shockingly show he's slid to his lowest approval of 39% - again.

I swear for the past half year I've heard every news agency post an article every other week about his support "slipping to 39%"

You can track/identify people in range of a wifi router based on how the wifi signal is disrupted.

I believe that the original people claimed you could ID individual people using their approach, but I suspect that's under ideal conditions and/or with some training against individual people.
