Thanks. I mean, it's not like I came to this argument with an full and detailed understanding of the orbital mechanics involved, but I don't think they did either, while displaying the confidence of someone that does.

[-] VeganCheesecake 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I feel like we're not getting anywhere, and neither of us seems to have the energy to cite any evidence, so let's just agree to disagree.

[-] VeganCheesecake 2 points 5 days ago

I do get the energy/velocity aspect, what I am less sure on is whether it is likely that enough material would be placed on courses through higher orbits that a chain reaction in those becomes likely.

I think it's kinda funny to be annoyed about Lemmy "turning into reddit", while also reverting to personal insults.

Sure, but you seem to also present an opinion, based on sentiment from your friends. Since we both seem to lazy to actually figure it out properly, I feel we're at an impasse.

[-] VeganCheesecake 1 points 6 days ago

Well, now that we all collectively solved that problem, you gotta go and buy a boat.

[-] VeganCheesecake 2 points 6 days ago

Pulling them out of my ass, mostly. Like, the people I know in the field don't seem overly worried, but my own opinion mostly comes from a general awareness that stuff in LEO comes down eventually, and that for the orbit the Starlink Stuff is on, that would probably mean a few years max.

Not my field, and if I actually research it, I might find I'm wrong.

I still maintain that even a complete loss of launch and orbital capability, while of course a great and horrible disaster, wouldn't doom us much more than our current course as a species already is.

As someone guessed above - Stranded: Alien Dawn

Yup, Stranded: Alien Dawn.

People find way to slow orphan-crushing-machine slightly. Lawmakers debate adding additional orphan chute. More at seven.

Wow, they managed to make a law so fucked up that US judges and prosecutors cooperate to work around it.

Even the fucking RN knows this isn't a good look.

Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.

Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.

Bad vibes, I say.

For those feeling out of the loop, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.

AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.

Well, duh. But at least there's some main stream coverage of that angle.

Also, don't tell anyone you know that, or you're not gonna be on any jury.

I've gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don't have anything to play it on.
