No, but they are pissing people off and the reason why Linux is getting more known and more used lately

Ookla tests aren't showing the gigabit speeds SpaceX teased, but it's early. Only causes moderate burns if you cross the beams
Can someone explain how people are getting 21ms latency from something 35,000 km away?

Hmmmm,

At the speed of C it should take 0.116 seconds to hit the satellite at 35,000 km away and then around the same back down to the modem making the theoretical minimum round trip at 0.23 of a second.
But you were probably speed reading when you skimmed the article. The satellites are not in a geostationary orbit so would not be at 35,000.
The satellites are in a much lower VLEO orbit.

Microsoft is giving Windows users far greater control over graphics settings to allow anyone with multiple GPUs to customize how and when they are used. Now I can always run FreeCell so it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel

Yale physicists have developed an error-correcting cat — a new device that combines the Schrödinger’s cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum computation. But cats are infallible (at least that's what my cat tells me)
If it looks like they made a mistake, they intended to do it that way.

Does anyone else think you are getting substituted to a worse product?

Yes. I hate YouTube Music's UI, especially in comparison with Play Music.
The only plus to YouTube Music is that it has more music (videos that others have posted).

Black silicon photodetector breaks the 100% efficiency limit
Serious question: if true, how is this not an example of entropy of a system decreasing? I must be missing something, because entropy always increases, but the article doesn't give enough info to tell. Could it be that the energy level of the photon was initially higher than the energy level of the electron?
After some thought, that must be it. So the title is a little misleading??? Even though it says "...The external quantum efficiency of a device is 100% when one incoming photon generates one electron to the external circuit..." Kind of a misleading definition of efficiency?

Efficiency may be defined in many ways, not necessarily related to energy usage.
- Energy efficiency - the ratio of energy going in to "work" coming out
- Particle efficiency - the ratio of photons going in to electrons coming out
- ...
It all depends on what you want to measure.
In a photomultiplier, which is hardly a new device, a single input photon can trigger multiple output electrons, at the cost of supplying additional energy to the system.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Be careful you measure the right things. You will optimize for what you measure, not what you need.
Remember when programmers were measured in Lines of Code, and number of Bugs fixed.

But if the rat is making bar presses and you're busy tallying the number of food pellets delivered by lifting your pencil to make a scratch mark in your notebook, the rat might see you being inattentive and change his behavior accordingly.
