That's not the Musk space debris we should be concerned about. The car is orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars, extremely unlikely to be a problem for anyone. A needle in a planet full of haystacks.
Starlink, on the other hand, is several hundreds of satellites orbiting in a shell in low Earth orbit. Close calls happen all the time with these.
That would make sense - the fine should be enough to pay for the satellite's disposal.
All of them!
Linux and Linux distros are generally designed to be hardware-agnostic, and generally works just fine on very old components. I'm currently running the current version of Ubuntu on a used U1 server from ~2013, no issues, no headaches. It just works. Grab any Windows PC from the last 20 years, you won't have any compatibility issues running most Linux distros, though some distros might expect more performance. Linux Mint is fairly lightweight.
Oh yeah, its absolutely not a huge deal if you already have a chromebook and just want to keep using it. But if I'm buying a new laptop and I know that putting another OS on it will be unnecessarily difficult, I'm just going to pick a different laptop.
Possible != easy. Putting Linux on any old Windows PC is dead easy, takes not even half an hour. Linux on a Chromebook? Easily hour+ long headache on your first time.
It doesn't happen much. But in a language with more boilerplate, like Java, it can happen very rarely.
Unless you can easily upgrade the RAM, Storage, and replace the OS when it loses support, it's still ewaste.
Yes, installing Linux is possible, but it isn't easy. I put GalliumOS on my old high school Chromebook.
I'd imagine lots of professions get this. Basically any ofession with lots of repeated text. I've gotten this a couple times while programming.
I believe they meant that bluetooth headphones need to be charged, while wired ones just run off the phone's battery. Sure, the amount of power consumed might not be that different (though bluetooth will still be more), but its easier for the user to just charge one device.
That last bit is important here. Ops, Security, and Engineering all wore red shirts. If you break down redshirt deaths by division, almost all of them are Security, while few are Engineering or Ops. Since Security is a position likely to involve combat, it shouldn't be surprising if it's the most dangerous.
I've probably gotten it at least once, since most people are asymptomatic. I've never had symptoms and never tested positive. Still, I feel like there's a good chance I just got it and it was never detected.

According to this article, Starlink satellites are involved in over 1,600 close encounters (within 1 kilometer or 0.6 miles) each week.
