    Orion | "It is believed that this refers to the diameter of the main antenna, which might be well in excess of 100 m", potentially you're correct! Oh. These are ground facing dishes that aren't use for scientific purposes and are highly classified.

    The same is done in space, you realize that...

    No, it isn't. The radio astronomy done in space is for Gamma rays, x-rays, UV and IR. Things the atmosphere blocks.

    What's done on the ground is for much larger wavelengths (+1m) which, again, requires massive equipment that is currently is not feasible to send up.

    The fix isn't to eliminate StarLink, I agree. The fix in my opinion is to have stricter controls from the ITU about how much interference a device can produce.

    Put that shit in space like they always should have

    So which is it? It's already done in space, or that's the direction we should go?

    Even your explanation about your original comment being "extremely easy to comprehend" has two opposing statements.

    We don't do a majority in space because of the absolutely massive size of the equipment needed... The VLA, for example, is 28 different dishes/antennas that are over 200 tons of metal a piece.

    The signals that are being measured are absolutely tiny, so much so (and to your point about interference in the ground), that A microwave can cause issues.

    The issue with the StarLink v2 is that; they are in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), they emit a lot more than other satellites, and there are a shit-ton of them - which means it's harder to schedule equipment time around the interference theyre causing. And the problem is only getting worse.

    Your comment is very disjointed though, so I'm not entirely sure what your point is.

    What has been your favorite or most memorable GW2 moment?

    *Could be an expansion release, guild drama, random encounter, etc.* Mine would be when I was a newer player doing a Twilight Arbor dungeon run with veterans and I enabled "Plant Mode". I was the classic Longbow ranger with Stalker who had no idea wtf was going on. We got to the wardens on Leurent's path (up) and it was not going well, I kept going down. The others in my party kept reviving me but in doing so were downed and then killed. The champ probably had about 2% health left when I was the last one standing and I am sweating IRL - mainly nervous that I'm going to get chewed out by the other party members if I can't finish the fight. One of the party members types "Just spam all your buttons!" so I start clicking anything and everything (yes, was a mouse ability clicker back then... how times have changed). I don't think I had ever used my elite at that point, mainly because I didn't understand it. I just knew it said something about plants. Ended up clicking [Take Root](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Take_Root) and was instantly felt dread. My character was locked down and I couldn't move as I became enshrouded with plant matter. As if to further cement the absolute embarrassment that was washing over me, the same party member goes "Plant mode?!". I seriously considered alt+F4'ing to hide from my shame - only to realize that I wasn't taking any damage anymore... And that there were seed turrets spawning all over as if to save me. They started attacking the Champ and it ticked down another % or so - it was so close to dying! Then my protective plant shroud disappeared and I was running again, desperately trying to live. However, I was still so low from before I had initially cast the elite that I was quickly downed. Instantly I spammed ["Lick Wounds"](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lick_Wounds) (As many downs in the open world had taught me). As I inched closer to death another party members says "OMG It's so close". Fractions of a second before I was about to die my pet starts reviving me - and it happens. One of the slow arching shots of the plant mortar near me lands the final blow on the champion and I revive - I was absolutely stunned. My party was absolutely ecstatic and kept typing things like "Plant mode ftw" and "Salad mvp". In that moment I felt like I was a seasoned GW2 player just like the rest. Definitely died to the root attack from the nightmare tree just moments after that though. [Picture of my character roughly around the time](https://i.imgur.com/XwRGEng.png)

    [Game] Madden 24 (Windows)

    Just a quick review of Madden 24 on the Steam Deck (Windows 10 - [BaldSeaLion Guide](https://baldsealion.com/Getting-Started.html#youtube-tutorial-for-dual-boot-)). Quick Summary: Overall the game runs quite well on the Steam Deck. There are dips and slight freezes, but some of that is just the poor performance with the game (Same issues on my desktop - 2080/5800X3D). The Radeon control panel monitoring has it at 28fps average with occasional dips to 24 with the default GPU settings. I haven't tried a lower resolution with upscaling. Everything in the game is functional and I'm able to play franchise mode and online. Using [Steam Deck Tools](https://steam-deck-tools.ayufan.dev/) I can easily swap to Xbox360 controller mode and did not need to re-keybind anything. I did initially have [CryoUtilities](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/02/cryoutilities-2-boosts-steam-deck-performance/) on with the default settings, but that was causing the game to hang every 10 seconds or so. Without CryoUtilities the game will only hang while transitioning to the half-time / 'video' type summarizes of the game (I assume most people skip this). Lastly, I am using Windows 10 instead of using Windows 11 due to EA Anti-cheat requiring SecureBoot to be configured correctly. On Windows 10, EA Anti-cheat ignores the Secureboot requirement. ( I believe I investigated getting it to work on Windows 11 to exhaustion, but if someone is able to achieve Windows 11 compatibility with the game, please let me know). Quick Edit: Within my Steam Deck BIOS I do have the VRAM set to 4GB
