Since I only have about 40 followers, I would appreciate as many boosts as possible as it is hurricane related. The Iphone 14 and above has the capability to send messages via satellite. You have to install IOS18 then swipe down from top right to get the utilities screen. You can then do a demo by touching the satellite icon. Evidently it only works if you do not have cell data or wifi available.

WOW. Just wow. Going through my shots from last night's aurora and found this corker from Hoopers Inlet taken at 21:20. What an absolutely amazing night! #aurora #NewZealand #astronomy
@dancingtreefrog That poor server! At a place I worked they had some print server that had been up for around a decade that was down to the final working disk, and they were scared to ever reboot it.
Another reason to not say anything when you pick up an honest to goodness "phone call" these days: autodialers that will record your voice, profile it and turn it into an AI model, so they know which voice they need to match when they spoof a number to convince your mom to send $5000 in walmart gift cards.

@rysiek I was in a carriage full of students, I think it's safe to say they tricked me.
@rysiek The last Polish train I took was Katowice to Kolobrzeg. The train hacked me and made me drunk. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it

@professortom I kind of admire it for all that
@fullStackRacc It is a classic from the ancient times
@fullStackRacc That was to the wrong account, but I will leave it because it suits my boomer-tier ability at times
