A sub 1K satelite, interesting! I will definitely fillow this more often than once in a decade. And I brushed the dust off a couple esp32 and started tinker in the week.

Thanks again, I think I found my lost spark ☺️!

It includes costs for retired personnel and social security (social security is not in the military budget in most or any European countries) for example.

The usa military budget is non comparable to european military budgets, they pay for different things. IMO.

Nitpicking; even if they have the keys, the messages can be encrypted. It’s just worthless as they can now decrypt them.

I don’t really know what to say, but thank you is a start, I might actually be a bit down.

So thank you for taking the time (and whaat is Inconel 😁 TIL) writing an uplifting post for me 🙂‍↕️.

I did tensorflow in 2016(2017?) and LEO is still in over 10-20k a cubsat no? Cool stuff though for real. I do feel like LLM is going too fast to follow in depth, but it is interesting to follow regardless.

I went for a walk, touched grass, and remembered one of my old inventions that I never had the time to build (and my homemade 3D printer wasn’t up to the job, but my new store bought one is, probably).

So thanks again!

Yes, it might be just me but I liked tinkering (and no need for surface mounted parts, legged ones were quite ok!) and coding, writing communication stuff in c++, driving loads of servos by smart interrupt code etc. and feel not so interested in just following say how a meshstatic works or just buy one.

“Everything” also has been built which doesn’t help. Or so I feel!

It’s all true and cool if you stumble upon that today, but IMO that’s a bit what OP talks about, esp(or the original 8266), pi and 3d printers were new and fun ages ago. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a fun space but not much has happened the last ten years there (or prove me wrong 😁!)
