I’d take bets on it, how many times where Canada/Mexico on/off/adjusted withing a couple days?

Edit: my guess is whenever he makes some big sweeping gesture it’s because his other hand is pilfering out collective pockets somehow.

What’s he trying to distract people from? We know perfectly well these won’t actually happen.

They’ll be reverted as soon as he gets some flattery and palm greasing from the right people.

So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don’t suppose he would make demands like ‘stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people’ now would he? Nah, let’s drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven’t heard much on them of late…

Built up tolerance, just keep an eye on the rest of the monkeys in the admin though for any strange or inexplicable behavior.

I hear Pete Hegseth started a drinking game based around every time Trump says the word tariff.

Yet it somehow doesn’t strike him as off at all that long standing allies suddenly feel a need to band against us. It’s a mystery I say, maybe they just woke up and had a bad morning…

It’s impressive and somewhat concerning what people will pay for a name. Historic as it is Napster died long long ago

Did they get doge efficiency updates installed?

Battle of who do you want to give all your usage data to so they spam you with ads?

There’s a reason why they’re cheap, never used Walmart ones but the Amazon tablets required extra fees just to not be a permanent billboard on the lock screen.

Ah, see that’s where not reading is a problem. Just saw star link competitor and remembered something a recently about China looking to launch a similar system.

Odd they would phrase it as a ‘starlink competitor’ then though rather than ‘a new ISP bid’. Wireless systems with directional antenna relays are not really new, not sure if any use laser particularly but the concept is essentially the same.

Yeah, more thinking the wasted time, resources, and emissions involved in building, launching, managing, and then whenever makes it down.

Take all that and make something useful instead, whatever happened to Google fiber being built out all over? More reliable, faster, doesn’t involve sending piles of redundant satellites into space…

Yay, more space junk, and knowing Google they would abandon the whole thing a couple years in when it gets boring and leave them to rot.

Edit:not actually sat, which makes it weird to call a ‘starlink competitor’ then, but I don’t write the headlines.

Not that I have any faith in the R congress to have a spine, but I’m not seeing how he even could do so if he wanted to without consent of Congress. Pretty well all the direct actions taken in the last couple decades come from the AUMF but that’s at least theoretically supposed to be linked to terrorist activities.

I have to think there’s some project out there where you could plug a 3.5 to RCA adapter into a Pi and use it in a similar fashion. Maybe would need a bridge app from the ‘cast’ function to connect to it, but I expect not impossible.

Need to buy that 5th copy of the same media.

Just the other day he was directing people to draft up how to remove all sanctions on Russia.

Maybe we could find a way to implement a 1 week lag on anything he demands, if it’s countermanded in that time then the week starts over again. Kind of like a retractable leash on caption chaos.

Phones became more frequently used for apps and posting which is a pain on a tiny screen. I built a pi zero powered retro console but actually using the tiny screen of about 3" makes it near impossible to read anything.

I would like to see things return to having replaceable batteries, headphones jacks and maybe slide out keys, but if I have to type and read on the same screen it’s awful nice to have some room to work with.
