The tools “up there” could be made to rival the capacity and accommodate the man hours required to more science than we do now. The problem is it’s hard and expensive and nobody wants to try because of that fact. It’s becoming easier with cheaper launch vehicles and better communications infrastructure. Now we need folks to start identifying the best locations to send new observation satellites and then start building and launching them.

Your take is very conservative and counter to technological progress and I don’t appreciate the personal attack. We can have a meaningful conversation without that crap.

Yes, extraterrestrial telescopes are hard. And, we need more of them. And we need to give access to amateurs.

Imagine one orbiting each planet and what we can observe.

I’ve played Minecraft on a ton of devices, phones, tablets, Switch, Steam Deck, Mac, PC. I think my best experience is Java on Steam Deck.

This video describes a dumper / cloner. At about 5:18 it demonstrates Minecraft running on Linux via an emulator (he who shall not be named) on the Switch with better performance than natively on the Switch. I’m not sure if it’s Bedrock or Java edition. He also said the performance increases are across the board (I think or at least not limited to Minecraft).

How does it handle audio books?

Apparently the Switch version runs so shity on the Switch, people hacked the Switch and put Linux on it and ran the game in the emulator (that Nintendo seems to hate) which had better performance than running natively in the Switch OS. Maybe that’s more of a knock against Nintendo however.

Charts like that are great, I love to see them. However, they need to have a year for the inflation-adjusted dollars else it’s nearly meaningless when referred back to.

They had stunts? I assumed everything was CGI or green screen.

I went to physical media (legally acquired) and spent countless hours format shifting to self host (Jellyfin) and never looking back. At this point if I can’t buy it, I don’t watch it.
