I doubt it'll ever be used on commercial aircraft, since they do have GPS and all the other things there isn't really any point adding a yet another system. Especially because it requires cooling, if it gets too warm it stops working, and buy too warm I mean the temperature of interplanetary space is too warm. Basically has to be absolute zero or bust.

It's not really an alternative to GPS. It has no idea where on earth you are, it simply accurately tracks your motion through the world but it has no idea where that motion is occurring, you have to start off with a known starting point, then it tracks your motion to work out your current location. But it is only as accurate as the accuracy of the starting point, if that's off by 400 m then so will be the result.

It's basically a very good inertial navigation system, plus this isn't the first time it's been tested it's been tested on ships and planes before.

It's not going to replace GPS for commercial purposes because there's very few scenarios where you don't have a GPS up link. But it'll be useful is in situations where that's not possible like on submarines or yeah in space. It isn't like your car is ever going to use this though.

When I first started working it was still back in the days where you were given cash in an envelope. After we were paid we always used to go out to a pub together for a few rounds, I rarely used to get through all of the change I'd been given, I never got into the paper money.

You used to be able to get a pint for silvers, these days you need to give them folding money for a bag of peanuts.

Part of why steam is so successful is because they regularly do enormous discounts.

People come to steam because of how good the deals are but they end up buying quite a lot at full prices as well.

What is with these people?

They are CEOs of company's, yet they don't seem to understand how capitalism works. What's something is worth is depending on what the market will bear. If the market won't bear a $90 game then it isn't worth $90.

It's a double edged sword

Well that's what 3D printers are for.

Based on my All feed everyone on Lemmy is either American or, for some reason, German.

I only ever played beta Fortnite, so I don't really know who we're talking about, but I thought all of the characters were generic, I didn't know there were classes.

I got to "she has to go to bed" before I realised that this was all the same day.

Trauma dumping can be cathartic but perhaps maybe don't do it within the first two hours of having met someone. Also don't do it too much because your problems aren't there problems.

That's because this is written by somebody with the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, the body of an overweight 40-year-old, and the age of a 16 year old.

It's not an airborne disease though. You have to actually be bitten by a bat in order to become infected just being in the same room as them isn't going to do it.

Bats don't bite people as a general rule, even vampire bats tend to ignore humans, so if one did it would be noteworthy enough that you would probably do something about it.

You don't? If you leave it in the fridge you just have rock hard butter.
