• That thread is filled to the brim with people who have no clue how telecommunications work, it’s hilarious. The mental gymnastics they’re pulling is beyond olympian level - “why was is designed to connect to American internet providers?!!”. - mf doesn’t understand the concept of designated radio bandwidth or pubic access points… Or maybe just paying for an international data service so they can send fucking weather data back home. Imagine the horror on their face if they went to China and they could connect to hotel guest WiFi - “the see see pee pee hacked muh fone!!!”. 🤣🤣🤣

      “Where is it now?”

      “Near a place called Cactus, Washington and the weather is sunny. It’s flying over a lake and… Wow.”

      “What?”

      “Hooters. There’s a girl sun bathing. Naked.”

      “Going into hover mode. Recording hyper-enhanced video by zooming in - to 25 million pixels per centimeter.”

      “How can you do all that? This is just a weather balloon - right? Haha. What are we using for quantum internet entanglement?”

      “The local motel’s wi-fi.”

      “The tech never has made any sense at all to me… Anyway - what’s on the agenda today?”

      “Before lunch - breaking into the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, American election systems also spreading disinformation, etc. After lunch - being generally evil. You know - the usual.”
