Why would you ask if someone didn't know that a different star is a lot farther than an object in our solar system?

I brought it up as an indicator of what the images of Pluto looked like with 200x era tech (quite good). So imagine what we could get even now (+16years+signal back time).
>Even if the data we got back weren’t images of the planets there and just basic data, that would be so incredible.
It had nothing to do with the ability -- given we're talking about a theoretical probe that will transmit data back, I had made the same assumption as you did (context of the reply) in that data would indeed come back.

Yes, of course. What is your point?
We're commenting in a chain of a theoretical probe that doesn't exist and imagining how awesome it would be.

I'm not debating that it would be incredible data, but if we're doing a 16 year journey where data is coming back, then it would be absolutely foolish to not get images -- New Horizons showed us so much of Pluto, and that was early 2000's tech. We're 2 decades ahead of that now.

Reply to US says Google routinely destroyed evidence and lied about use of auto-delete by OutlandishnessOk2452
If true so what? The US doesn't go after it's tech giants hard enough for it to matter. Even if it's a $10B fine ( which it absolutely will not be) , Google makes more than that per quarter in profit (not revenue, profit!).
The days of any US government holding corporatations to meaningful account has long passed, and every player nationally and internationally knows it.

Dunno about avatar either, but I use old.reddit and a third party mobile app, I suspect this is why I've been insulated. Thanks for the info.

No. Every modern processor has fTPM that is compliant with TPM spec. Bitlocker encryption (Win 10+11) and Windows 11 OS itself work perfectly fine with it.
TPM basically moved from a discrete feature on consumer motherboards into a feature integrated into processors.

I don't disagree with regulation. But if you think this company has had the same amount of breaches as others you are mistaken.
Not all companies are equal, there is such thing as a badly managed company. This is it.

I honestly don't understand people that use products from this company still, after the breaches and code base intrusions. The fuck are you doing, change vendors.

😂 I think you're just mad because you couldn't be smug and decided to immaturely lash out.
Find your way off the internet before you waste more time manufacturing friction where none existed.
