It was just a plane or something


I love unboxing some new tech, but why an access point specifically?
That might be helpful. So far I was skipping the window manager and just opening the application by itself in xinit.


The cruelty is the point. Just keep repeating that and you’ll understand most of the decisions.


I think they were more into incest than beastiality.


And now I remembered we’ve got over 3 more years of this garbage to fight through.
Based on the ingredients, it sounds like blended in a kinda almost pesto.


Not even close to that third comma, amateur.


You got some pants on?


I was very confused for a minute but then I realized you are talking about trackballs over mice. OP was asking about ball mice vs optical mice. Way back mice used rotary encoders to move the cursor horizontally and vertically. Those encoders were moved by a ball that stuck out of the bottom of the mouse to roll on the desk. The ball and rotary encoders were eventually replaced by the optical system we use now.


I feel called out. I know how it’s properly pronounced, but I can’t make my mouth put those sounds in that order. It’s uncomf-terble.


A supervillainess


According to their history, this is the extend part.


Not already fascist enough


Don’t try to make an iso out of it, it won’t work. Depending on your hypervisor you can either pass the drive through to the VM directly or dd it to a raw disk file and attach it that way. You may have to do some conversion to make it work with your hypervisor. KVM and virtual box should work with the raw file, or you can convert to one of their native formats. VMWare will need conversion to a vmdk file to attach it.


I didn’t say it was impossible, I said it was hard. Bigger radiators absorb more heat when exposed to the sun. One of the problems becomes keeping the solar panels exposed to sunlight while keeping the radiators out of it. Putting them behind the solar panels might work, but they have to be smaller than the solar panels and any energy the solar panels don’t convert to electricity will be re-radiated as heat and picked up by the radiators, requiring a larger size. You could put them on the 'back" side of the spacecraft, but that limits the size. As mentioned in another comment, you could position the spacecraft in geostationary orbit on the terminator, but then reaction mass requirements for station keeping and data signal latency go way up. It’s a problem that has been worked around by people much smarter than me, but a lot of work went into figuring it out.


Space isn’t cold, it’s nothing. It’s a vacuum and vacuum is terrible at heat transfer by convection. It’s why thermos bottles have a vacuum layer to prevent heat transfer. You can try to lose some heat by radiant cooling, but that’s slow and if you’re using solar for power then any radiators become heat sinks picking up more heat from the sun. Then there’s conduction, and again, there’s really nowhere to conduct any heat to, what with the large distance between objects and the vacuum and all. Thermal management in space is kind of a hard problem.
