Engineering Explained did an episode especially on the topic [1], it seems a huge amount of routes could indeed be replaced by an electrical semi.

I just did that recently you can load a kernel module the driver will start working and the device will appear (if compatibility is setup correctly). You can remove the module and the device will stop and be removed from /dev.

Just for your information (I am not big fan of the product), but there are battery free (energy harvested) switches which can replace copper runs already.

See for example: https://www.enocean.com/en/enocean_modules_902mhz/

t-mobile does the same with spotify in germany. really bad for competing services.

Competing services can apply to be included in the program based on technical specifications (limit your bitrate, clearly identify the traffic as video).

Sure, in theory, but in practice we're seeing big companies like Amazon Music, Google Play Videos, Youtube not being able to move on just T-Mobile.

Complexity also increases as each ISP gets to choose their own rules.

Besides, I, as a consumer want to be able to use Amazon Prime Music / Video at 0, whether Amazon wants to take the time to set it up or not.

Unfortunately, as a consumer, you don't have the technical resources to integrate your video provider with T-Mobile for them to support BingeOn. Your options are to wait, or move to another cellular provider (which doesn't, of course, have BingeOn).

That is why BingeOn is offered. T-Mobile receives a network efficiency benefit, which they pass along to their users as unlimited video. Just because the user complains they want something, doesn't mean they get it.

As always, the customer is not always right.

So bend to our will and provide what we demand and we will deliver your content with the same advantages as we do for others.

How is that not a net neutrality issue???

Limiting your bitrate for network efficiency isn't unreasonable. A user can even opt out FFS!

Probably targeted at plugins/extensions. At least thats the impression that I get by the phrasing they chose.

Though I don't see any restriction on where this can be used, it aims for building Salesforce apps.

> What is the Lightning Design System? It is collection of design patterns, components, and guidelines for creating unified UI in the Salesforce ecosystem.

It was also mentioned at the time Microsoft's Office UI Fabric project got released. It is very likely that both projects aim to help third party developers get a consistent look, when developing add-ons for their applications.

Yes it matters (at least to me), i was confused initially if it would be some browser for the iridium sat network.

yeah that's weird..

There are tactile buttons in development for screens, if you haven't seen it yet:

Unless they manage to come up with a fine mesh grid that allow them to work with a arbitrary underlying UI, not interested.

I would say yes it fits perfectly, especially if you extend it with java classes for performance critical stuff.
