Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. As a sort of smart cluster munition from space. Drop this anywhere, with a starlink receiver and control transmitter built in for the drones. Then dozens/hundreds of targeted strikes anywhere, without multiple missiles or deploying any troops.

It’s hard for me to see the value of a 500kg box of drones that can be delivered to anywhere the US military is, vs just many 500kg boxes of drones in vehicles wherever troops are deployed already.

If it doesn’t enable deploying troops, then whatever it is could likely just be sent the same way they are.

Nevertheless, an interesting technology, and will likely find a use, with a more specific use-case.

Judging by the average altitude above current sea level of the Netherlands, they may BE the climate refugees.

Finally got some new outlets installed in the basement, near my workbench.

Some of these games get quite long, so still haven’t gotten back through the 1-3 remasters yet, but happy that these are out now too. For whenever I can get to them.

Makes sense.

In that case better for efficiency than interior blinds, but still blocking your view out.

Would be handy for an especially hot day or week, but I wouldn’t like to have to keep my windows covered all summer.

Interior blinds are mentioned in the video: basically since they’re behind the glass the energy is still getting in and green-housing a bit. Blinds heating up is heat inside the room. Also block the view out, which awnings don’t.

Furor might be too, sibling.

Lol

I mean there will still need to be spring-loaded pins somewhere in order to make good connection. And tiny pins means someone will bend them by accident at some point. And the pins are still a little involved to make, so taking them off means the RAM can be made cheaper. So this means:

  • if just replacing/upgrading RAM, then no need for extra pins to be made
  • if adding ram to a slot that didn’t have any before, then can also buy pins or they can come in some kits or whatever
  • when someone bends pins, then just the pins can be bought for a reasonable price, instead of replacing expensive RAM, or very expensive motherboard

That was one of the things that excited me most from the iFixit video; the (LGA?) pins are a separate part that can be replaced as well. Simplifies the motherboard because then there are just flat pads on there, which means they don't need to include the whole array of fancy pins for a second module if it doesn't ship with one.
