... up until it stops being a "dip". I don't think these people care about having more. I think they want everyone else to have less.

I mean... this is Lemmy. I know there is a weather station near the sheriff's office that does all the local reporting, and I watched it get built way back when.

Weather Stations are sort of the "Hello World" of embedded systems because they have to run for decades at a time fairly easily. The hard part is probably reverse engineering the communication protocol, but chances are they use LORA and just parse and upload data server side.

Short of DOGE deciding to do fieldwork and physically take down the local weather Stations, it would be feasible to "pirate" (it was already free?) the local weather broadcasts.

No idea about radar though. Any meteorologists ?

missed the train, hype up the next thing is QUANTUM Computers! don't you want some QUANTUM Chips with QUANTUM TOPS and a QUANTUM leap in QUANTUM performance in your QUANTUM Non deterministic Games???

QUANTUM LOOT BOXES... WITH NFT REWARDS GENERATED BY AI. ON THE BLOCK CHAIN! IN THE CLOUD. POWERD BY BIG DATA. HD RESOLUTION. GIGAHERTZ. MEGABYTES OF RAM.

That's what they think too. Unfortunately, they are yet unable to buy immortality. You cannot buy something that does not exist. They cannot pay money to buy knowledge from thin air, or manufacture a product with no lead time, no matter how much money they have.

They can however seclude themselves on a private island and live vicariously through a phone screen in a reality of their own. Until wifi drops, at least.

"the event" is exciting. fresh and new. a real challenge. Afterwards... is boring. sucky. nobody wants to be there. so don't imagine it. they could head to their bunkers right now, if they wanted. but they won't. they just keep waiting for "the end" that never comes. The game doesn't stop, the credits don't roll.

A billion dollars won't buy you the exit from the rat race. Try again.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no

oh but don't forget clipping and the fact that you now increased audio variance means the 10¢ tinny speakers at checkout cant power it, so now you have to work around perceptive loudness and normalize to speech frequencies and when you get to the shop to install new firmware you see a granny wearing glasses asking "what does the self checkout menu say?" and now you have a new problem.
