Re: Retro-futuristic capsule
Scott Manley interviewed Steve Jurvetson who has an amazing collection of space hardware (it on his youtube channel.) If you're interested in historic space hardware, you should check it out in two parts:

Just wait until you watch it again.
For any of you that did watch the SpaceX stream, I suggest you watch the launch and landing sequences that Everyday Astronaut broadcast. Their ground camera was quite distant from the SpaceX tracking camera and the view was equally, if not more, spectacular from their angle.
Another thought is that I can't wait to see if Trevor Mahlmann was photographing this launch and landing...the man has vision and talent.

Smart TVs are spying on everyone
Re: Content surfing
Yes they do. They don't get any eyeball time if you don't watch the commercials, and if you can't decide what to watch, you won't see any commercials (unless you are an idiot who doesn't click cancel when the ads play during your scroll through the available content.)
I'm not sure what info they would glean from your ad view during your content search...

It will get old...i've been clicking Exit after power-on every day for over two years...
I'm brave enough to open up the tv, but I don't know how to overwrite Tizen with generic Android.
Does anyone know of a site that specializes in modding samsung smart tvs?

Re: Global billboard?
I thought the Russian government was going to paint the moon red, and then president Nixon was going to paint a Coca-Cola logo on it.
Personally, I think all satellites should have collision avoidance lights, just like aeroplanes, or Starlink should make all of them that are over the US blink on July 4th every year.

Re: Much FUD
Bullshit. The content delivery network hosting the ad can tell them exactly how many impressions they got....or would if browsers didn't preload data. If the CDNs aren't happy because some bastard wrote a background ad watcher plugin, well tough, stop providing ads to that browser (and ad me to this list).
Re: They are trying to do the right thing here
Pardon me for saying this, but that's stupid. If your ads work, your sales will increase. No other metrics are required.
Don't try to force your ads on those of us who resist, because I, for one, will automatically NOT buy whatever it you've just advertised at me. You could use nude supermodels in your ad and I would still not consider buying your merchandise.
Also, for you morons who don't mention your product name in your ads on video streaming sites; I'm not watching, I'm only listening, so how am I going to know who's product to avoid if you don't mention your company name, or your product name?
And another thing. If I'm listening to quiet fifty year old Irish folk music, an ad with loud modern-day rap music is NOT going improve my reception of your already unwanted ad.

Re: Conspiracy
No, it doesn't cost as much to start a company to build 1000 pagers, or at least dis- and re-assemble 1000 pagers, but good luck placing an order for 1000 vehicles. Where are you going to get 1000 used yet road-worthy Toyota Hilux pickup trucks without having your photograph taken with Toyota's Salesman of the Month.
