The color scheme was really confusing for me too. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple as farthest away to closest maybe?

It would be interesting to contrast the unicycle experience with tandem bike experiences. When I ride my tandem bike with a partner I almost universally experience smiles and happy waves from people that see us.

I can ride a unicycle and rode it more often as a teenager. Lots of comments about getting lost from the circus. But they were meant to be funny. I think.

A traditional geosynchronous satellite is 22,000 miles above you. A starlink satellite is only 340 miles above you. And when you are outside you have a great line of sight with nothing in the way.

See neverssl.com.

It has been around for a long time and is useful for making sure you see Wifi terms pages.

My wife has the same issue. I say turn "your side" or turn "my side."

It is a nice idea. But I don't believe Facebook actually follows through on letting you mute or unfollow people. Their posts will slowly creep back into the main timeline that you see.

Check out The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More if you didn't read it when you were young.

By default you can't. But it is a preference you can change to enable it.

System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces

This is very transparent and a good write-up. I wonder if someone at Slack could explain how they calculate their downtime on their status page. This outage was for 3 hours and 14 minutes but they claim 99.79% uptime for the month of February.

I also thought of this prior post. I believe it is the same scam and written up by someone also claiming to be a security researcher. It seems too on the nose to be a coincidence.

Article looks and sounds like clickbait. One of the fundamental aspects of starlink is the internet access and speed you will get. That doesn't seem to be covered here. You took down your starlink because you couldn't transfer it to someone else, are afraid of the damage starlink is doing to astronomy, and you don't like the design decisions about the new dish that you don't even have? Sorry, this doesn't make any sense.

I am curious how you know it was Omicron. Was it sequenced and they told you that?

Sellers never should have give you the keys until they had the money. That is on them.
