I saw the original and the changed one. The only thing that it seems they’ve changed is to add the precursor message, acknowledging the palaver. The rest of the video looked the same.

Did they change the video? I was at least impressed that they acknowledged the interest in the video but didn’t realise they might also have made changes.

Totally this. There’s not a single person there who isn’t an SVP or an EVP. And I’m speaking as someone with an official title of EVP; unless you get the team to say “it’s awesome to be back in” on a video, this just comes across as so “because we say so”.

Our team is already distributed across 8 time zones and 5 countries; why do we need to be in the office to sit in the same calls across our regions?

There are some jobs that are much better done in person and then there are jobs that aren’t. For most roles, some tasks in that role is better in person, for some tasks it doesn’t make a difference and for some tasks it’s specifically better to be remote.

A video like this needs to explain WHY - and with more than just “we are better together!”; ok, but why?

Yes I’m talking about recharging a battery sitting next to this; agreed that it can’t power a node directly. In the U.K. we are actually allowed to transmit up to 500 mW on the ISM band (provided we adhere to the utilisation quota, which I think is 15%)

There’s nothing wrong with thermal energy plants. They are real and with companies like Eavor making real commercial plants using closed-loops there’s a lot of stuff happening in the space right now.

I think I’ll take “a real commercial plant” from Eavor rather than this, thank you.

Could be good for a LoRa node. But obviously won’t hit the market.

Clickbait, still just rumours and speculation.

I mean, I agree with the rumours and speculation, but that doesn’t make it any more confirmed.

It’s definitely not as simple as my quick comment on Lemmy pretends, agreed.

ESA demonstrating progress?! Maybe by Ariane 9. Whatever abomination Ariane 6 is, it ain’t competitive.

Well yeah, but we both know they are behaving like a company heading for an attempted IPO.
