I switched to waterfox, I will never trust Mozilla again for a wide variety of reasons.

Legal != effective or ethical, that is an unbelievably stupid argument for TPMS.

Wait, there is more than one?

I’m assuming that’s the weight of the turbine without helium in the balloon.

From the article the turbine unit weighs 2204lbs so that’s ~9400 lbs total. Omni calculator says you need 348,436 standard 11" party balloons or 3,979,252 litres of helium to get off the ground and 423,779 party balloons to reach 1.5km altitude.

2"Ø UHMWPE rope has a breaking strength of ~375000lbs weighs 94lbs per 100’ so about 4700lbs for 5000’

That said I have know idea if 2"Ø is the correct diameter rope to anchor one of these balloons.

edit: I was originally planning on adding in the weight of a high voltage transmission cable, but I’m on my phone and feeling lazy, maybe some one else will feel more inspired than I.

FTFY

Wait, you are telling me that the company whos entire business is collecting personal information, including people who don’t sign up for their services, to leverage for advertising, is keeping their platforms unsecured they can continually grab more information rather than secure it?

I for one am shocked, absolutely shocked.

At least as many believe the bullshit that it will replace all our jobs and therefore we won’t have to work anymore.

I work with a lot of people that are a lot less software tech savvy than a below average Lemmy user. Their thought scare me. I spend a lot of time educating them, trying not to be holier than them and all that bullshit.

It’s easy to think that your thoughts and those of people that surround you are the “mainstream”.

We all exist in our own little bubble worlds. It takes a lot more work than you think to even begin to understand a majority of people.

I hate to disappoint you, but there are a lot of clueless adults who lap up all kinds of surveillance tech.
