Well that's one way to shoot yourself in the foot..

Iridium by Motorola was working in 1997 when I interviewed one of the team.

They had everything working, satellite to satellite call handover, line of sight handover, uplink and downlink, all the technology was great.

The only problem?

Billing. They couldn't figure out how to make billing not be an international long distance call because local telcos refused to allow ground stations in their country.

Now Starlink is making agreements with those same telcos to allow direct to satellite mobile phone communication.

"You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." "Your proposal is acceptable."

We as a species are not yet capable of doing this.

We can barely land successfully on our moon, we haven't made it to Mars with humans and many of the robots we did send crashed before becoming operational.

We don't have the capability to run completely automated mining on Earth, people are so far always needed on site.

If we're going to mine asteroids, we'll need to have a lot more capabilities than we currently do.

Note that I'm scratching the surface here, we haven't yet discussed travel time, keeping humans alive and sane, fuel or Earth resources required to mount the effort.

Given that anyone with a keyboard can update it, your information is unsurprising.

If it bothers you, remove it. If there's not enough, add it.

Where are you hearing this?

And now you know why we've been telling you not to use Telegram.

Right here is where the rubber meets the road. If the GDPR isn't enforced, the outcome is worse for everyone because the companies in breach will point out that nobody has successfully won a judgement against them, so in other words, they've done nothing wrong, whilst all the while they'll sell your private information out the side door to the highest bidder.

Also, sleep with one eye open at all times ..

I'd contact your power company. I had a street feed with a similar issue that turned out to be an industrial piece of equipment on the same phase as I was. The power company switched my phase and life went back to normal.
