Consent is a tricky issue when it comes to drugs. You could even argue that consent isn't possible when you are heavily addicted.


If anything, it should be luna and not moon.


You can't mod anything that's on gamepads due to the encrypted filestorage it uses. At least that was the case when I checked last year.


We have mods for Skyrim even on consoles. They can be modded on gamepass just fine if the developer decides to support it.


Yes. It'd have been reasonable to block sales to non eu parties for national security reasons.

Now arm is yet another US company.


Isn’t the UK leaving the EU?


Yes, but the Brexit referendum was only 1 month before SoftBank acquired Arm Holdings. The deal was probably already in progress, and finalised before the UK had any real policies about Brexit, so EU requirements would have been reasonable if decided ahed of time. But the timing may also explain the lack of any national security focused requirement (general confusion).


That just means that their home/core market got smaller, so they should have protected ARM to stay inside E̶U̶ the UK, then.


How many sats in Leo would you need for it to potentially impact launch windows and access to space? Does anyone have any data or speculation on this?


All 30-50k satellites? SpaceX and Amazon are sending stuff up now. I expect these numbers to multiply quickly. And not just with US satellites. China and other nations might just send similar numbers up


Is there any expectation that a local in Africa or sea would be able to afford starlink rates? I haven't seen pricing information yet, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case.


20 Billion in 2018, but I read that in a similar thread here and sadly can't remember the source anymore


Apple has 200 million paying developers?


Size shouldn't be a reason for the battery size. Devices like the redmi 3s had 4k mAh in a smaller device in 2016


In addition to the other comment: plenty of games are, or at least used to be, available exclusively through steam. Steam doesn't pay for exclusivity, but it still exists


True but that is not a FAULT of steam that is simply the developer / publisher deciding for themselves that is the best place to put it. When I think exclusivity with platforms I only have fault when it's the platform buying that exclusivity ... free choice is free choice.
