It's probably purposeful obscurity, a marketing move for gold and jewelry.
Other alloys are described as ratios of elements.
At least I am starting to see carat fall out of use as a unit of weight, maybe from diamond manufacturing slowly making diamonds more of a commodity product.
It'll probably take until we stop obsessing over gold before we can get rid of karat.
Yeah.
The maintenance of these conatellations is pricy, so perhaps if such an international program does prove itself trustworthy you'd see other national alternatives get retired.
I mean it's not like the US would do it anyway as things stand, more likely for such a program to get started independently and to end up outcompeting starlink down the line.
You want a truly multinational organization responsible for it, nothing that can be controlled by a single nation, even one as (ex)influential as the us.
Something based on the UN perhaps.
Combine that with making internet access a human right, to stop denying connectivity outright.
Ideally then you could't enforce meaningful censorship, but more realistically you would route regions to their respective governments servers so they could censor as before on their territory.
That would not guarantee free access to the internet to everyone, but should be an acceptable compromise to basically all nations.
After that, other doubting nations could still pull their own constellation, nothing is stopping that.
I would love if the internet program was uncensored, but that probably needs personal circumvention same as now, if such a program wants any degree of success.
Starlink should not just be nationalized but internationalized.
It is internet for everyone on earth, not everyone in the USA.
Every larger nation deploying their own constellation would be a pointless waste of resources, and every smaller nation having to find reliable partner-nations to tap into for that internet access would inevitably lead to people ending up without access due to political games.
Low orbit satellite constellations are the perfect candidate for sharing, they would literally sit unused over most of their orbits otherwise.
Android has swap, in my case 4GiB. It might also be compressed but parameters are probably incompressible anyway.
Given the runtime on ios, it seems unlikely swapping would be involved. Might be a failed hardware check of some sort, or the OS refusing to alot more ram to the authors specific specific app. Similar to running in the background, there seems to be a lot of chaos about ram allocation permissions on android.
Right now, I am working on an App and the Samsung Ultra S21 that I am using (even having 16GB of ram available..) does not allow me to use more than 500MB for this App even with android:largeHeap="true" in the Manifest.
I saw a small-time project using hashed phone numbers and emails a while ago, where assume stupidity instead of malice was a viable explanation.
In this case however, Plex is large enough and has to care about securiry enough that they either
did this on purpose to make it sound better, as a marketing move,
did not show this to their security experts,
or chose to ignore concerns by those experts and likely others (turning it into the first option basically)
There is no option where someone did not either knowingly do or provoke this.
But you could feasibly have conversion that crashes a system.
Say a log is generated and prefixes the entries by a padded unix timestamp. The field is padded to length 9, so after y2k1 the unsigned integer math specifies to prepend -1 = 232 - 1 spaces

Unix is where the model of linux commands originates, and those commands absolutely embody the unix philosophy.
Systemd is a bit like busybox in that many formerly standalone comands turn into symlinks to systemctl.
Take a look at shutdown for example.
