Where would you send Voyager today? – Shoutout to NordVPN for supporting this vid, check them out here: https://nordvpn.com/primalspace
Couple years from now somebody's going to release a playing doom on the Voyager computer video
Imagine what goes through the mind of someone who reviews devs PR's
HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT HOW NASA CAN UPDATE SOMETHING THATS 15 BILLION MILES AWAY YET MY WIFI IS TRASH 😂
What if someday nasa will send space probe again
I mean theoretically the computers are put in ideal conditions (heat wiring etc) so I expect the computer to run maybe another 20-50
It shows by itself how computer science is mostly a scam today. Imagine just the amount of ewaste we could avoid, this makes me sick.
git add .
git commit -m "voyager's update x"
git push
The Nord VPN ad was placed seamlessly, lmao.
Smooth sponsorship !
So a voyager is basically a giant space automaton
Me looking at 2:51 thinking nordVPN's disk space usage is 70 KB.
I hope voyager system not gonna be downed
Those “sticks” of memory are woven by hand.
Proof that we can do a lot with very little and we can make shit that lasts if we wanted to.
6:06 you don’t compile assembly code you assemble and link it. the compiler was made for this exact reason because people kept throwing a hissy fit about writing in instructions, so they created C which is literally assembly language under a cloak.
I honestly think voyager 3 should visit the Kepler system because it would be cool to see if Kepler 22-b has life of an earth-like surface or atmosphere.
All it takes are some words and images!

As an a hardware low level engineer.
These requirements are because of the complexity of the hardware. They need a more complexities for the software.
But does it run Doom 😅😂?
That AD read Segway is crazy
