What about more extreme cases, say Castaway (movie) type situation. Stranded on an island in middle of nowhere.
But conveniently, one of the packages has a functional 2m battery powered radio and a Yagi too. There’s no one you can make contact with, except… the ISS.
What if the ISS was the only station you could contact?
“Hello International Space Station, I am stranded on an island after a plane crash. Can you help?”


Free Starlink during disasters for everyone, but for surveilence child protection and anti-terrorism you must accept X as a Certificate Authority.


I asked a lecturer some question, I think it was what happens when bit shifting signed integers.
He asked an LLM and read the answer.
Similarly he asked an LLM how to determine memory size allocated by malloc. It said that it was not possible, and that was the answer. But a 2009 answer from stack overflow begged to differ.
At least he actually tried it out when I told him.
But at this point I even had my father send me an LLM written slop that was clearly bullshit (made up information about non-existent internal system at our college), which he probably didn’t even read as he copied everything including “AI answers may be inaccurate.”


I have similar issue with Google.
At some point I used to use Google Photos backups. I wanted to delete the backed up files, but there’s no way to do that. It would also delete them from the devices.
And I guess it checks them based on hash, because even in the main view it always figures out where the files are currently stored, if on device, even after I moved them elsewhere. Otherwise these other images only show up in their respective folders, not the main view.


Can’t even do that after 3 years back in middle school.


I scroll a comment further, and there goes my thought, already laid out by another person.


I am European.
Here’s an image I took on Friday:

You can always re-start.


Depends.
I am in uni, so a bit different, but there’s many sites that allow access to articles, studies, books, etc. to us based on source IP. And I guess it could be hard to route only those, especially if some of them decide to use Cloudflare or similar.
Another option is doing so for easier monitoring of work devices that people will always try to use for things they’re not supposed to.


I wonder how many references I am missing daily.
I’ve watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I read 1984, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I watched Idiocracy, and then started seeing references to it everywhere.
I switched to Arch, and then started seeing references to it everywhere, btw.
etc…
And it doesn’t stop. This has to mean I still keep missing many. I’d probably scroll past this comment if I didn’t see that label on some Adata drive, since they don’t seem to be that common in EU.

Huh? I was just randomly searching for something like this yesterday.
Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(
