It's tempting to shit all over Boeing and NASA over the #starliner debacle, but the engineering team worked very hard under intensely political conditions and it did fulfill a fully autonomous return with no real problems. It did not meet NASA's criteria for a crewed return, but all of this is fixable.

While we were not watching, the Voyager 1 spacecraft underwent another surgery.
In August, V1 switched thrusters used for orientation control, because the fuel tubes in the thrusters had clogged up with residue.
To perform the switch, the thrusters had to be warmed by turning on its heaters while turning off another set for an hour.
All very tricky and risky operations, performed from 22.8 light-hours away on 1970’s era hardware.
Kudos again to the Voyager team.

Using Servicenow this morning I can guarantee you the last thing this enshittified fortress of mediocrity needs is a turbocharged version of clippy
'Guys how can we make our product worse?'

My messages are sharing location data? With third parties? Google I think you need to sit down for a cup of tea and no biscuits.
I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching Thomas pottering about parts of Germany in his Trabant.

I keep seeing Stellaris on sale on Steam, and read it as 'Stellantis', which I imagine is a management sim where you take storied automotive brands and run them into the ground
