I keep staring at the current season of lower decks. I'm waiting for the finale so I can binge it and rip that Band-Aid off real quick.

May Hulu pick it up and keep going!

Kick him in the nads.

Since the US is about to become buddy-buddy with some communist entities, maybe they'll relax restrictions?

sounds like if you can't scalp it inside the return period, you probably shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

I was reading up on the satellite hacking communities back in the 00's. 1969, that old stuff had only basic security if any at all. It's possible that anyone all the way down to an amateur might have commanded it to move.

From the description it sounds like it's orbit has become somewhat elliptical. If some state entity was trying to screw with it, they probably would have left it in more of a stable geosynchronous position. You don't have to move it far to make a point.

Seeing that it's dead and they're not likely to have logs from it, maybe it had a malfunction or a propellant leak.

“If you go into a shop and you pick up a few groceries, usually you would pick any of the cashiers that is around and you go scan your goods,” he said. “When someone is planning a sweethearting theft, they will always go to the same cashier, which is most of the time a relative of theirs, and this is an anomaly in the behavior compared to the other customers. Our system is able to identify this anomaly and alert on that.”

I usually go to one of two cashiers because they are faster and actually know what they are doing. I will always return to them simply to save time.

The system sounds costly. It's merely another version of the "inventory robots" that never gained traction. They’ll end up spending six figures per store on hardware that constantly triggers false alerts until they eventually shut it down. Weren't groceries supposed to be fully NFC by now, allowing you to scan everything at once on your way to the door?

The managers know who's gonna steal. They see them sweet-talking and complaining about fixed income.

Had that happen once on a game. Guy was exploiting a bug for free currency, selling his service to add money to peoples accounts. Studio started banning people purchasing, Exploiter started giving away money to vast swaths of people.
