And let me guess, the public 915Mhz band will get sold to NextNav despite everyone's objections.
Oh wow, must be a huge coincidence given Trump never read project 2025
I believe him when he said he didn't read it, because his staffers say he won't read a goddamn thing unless it glowingly mentions him several times (or it's a book of Hitler's speeches). Trump himself has said he considers reading a waste of time.
What I DO believe is that he's being spoonfed lists of appointees by the Heritage Foundation.
US has already stopped investing in technology education (even people as young as 20 years old that walk in the shop here show no indication of technology education)
Democracy does die in darkness in part due to loss of progress in technology
The lack of tech knowledge just comes from growing up with tech that just works and that's much less open than it was back in the day. The same thing is happening everywhere.
These youngsters need a few good bluescreens of death to harden em
It's the truth, honestly. Just look at how smartphones have changed since the iPhone. Remember how it used to be a pretty common thing to switch wifi off and on to fix a connection issue? Or Airplane Mode? That was a troubleshooting step people learned naturally on the original smartphones because they had to. Personally I don't even know where the Airplane Mode button is on my phone anymore. I can't remember the last time I had to bounce my wifi. People just troubleshoot less now because stuff just works. We're going to have to make an effort to keep up the skills for when they stop, or we'll end up like a sci-fi civilization that can't repair it's crumbling ancient infrastructure
My sisters WiFi wouldn't connect on a Samsung S20something.
Went through ordinary steps.
All failed to resolve.
The solution:
Change time date to manual, then back to automatic. For whatever reason, this was the fix.
Most bizarre troubleshooting ever.
I'm the type who's of aa mind that anything can be fixed or repurposed. May not be pretty, but if it can still be used somehow it will.
I thought everyone burns incense to placate the machine spirit every time an application errors out.
This should be good.
And by good, I mean a flaming dumpster-fire shitshow of gross incompetence
If we’re lucky. Competence in these cases is more dangerous.
