>One Twitter user asked Musk if Starlink could face a cyberattack from Russia similar to the one that affected Viasat satellite service. Musk responded, "Almost all Viasat Ukraine user terminals were rendered permanently unusable by a Russian cyberattack on day of invasion, so... yes."

Sounds like a known (to some), unknown vulnerability in the sat/router endpoints? -

I did a quick look and while it was only one site it seems there are only about 100 jobs world wide.
Maybe you take the job you can, not the job you want. -

Could this be the year of the Linux desktop? Finally?
New Windows 11 test build wants your credit card info PCWorld
https://nu.federati.net/url/285168

>Microsoft considers the additional credit-card info as part of the subscription option it added last month. Now, if your subscription risks falling through because of an expired credit card, Microsoft will alert you. Conceptually, however, it implies that your PC is as much a tool to make purchases as it is to simply work and game.

Bandcamp is Joining Epic Games – Bandcamp Updates
https://blog.bandcamp.com/2022/03/02/bandcamp-is-joining-epic/
>I’m excited to announce that Bandcamp is joining Epic Games, who you may know as the makers of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, and champions for a fair and open Internet.
>
>Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community, and I will continue to lead our team. The products and services you depend on aren’t going anywhere, we’ll continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model (where artists net an average of 82% of every sale), you’ll still have the same control over how you offer your music, Bandcamp Fridays will continue as planned, and the Daily will keep highlighting the diverse, amazing music on the site. However, behind the scenes we’re working with Epic to expand internationally and push development forward across Bandcamp, from basics like our album pages, mobile apps, merch tools, payment system, and search and discovery features, to newer initiatives like our vinyl pressing and live streaming services. -

Not really up on how the back end works but maybe UID collision or something like that?
