I wonder what size stream will be available to us. The largest I see in general is 70-90 Mbps for a 4k Bluray Remux and that includes lossless audio. I imagine they would want as much data as possible—significantly more than would be visible to the human eye.
For us, live? Not much -- probably just whatever it is that YouTube provides for. At a glance, that's officially 40Mbps or less. (My anecdotal experience suggests that it is much, much less.)
But NASA's own in-house stream probably won't consist of 260 Mbps of video, either. Keeping headroom available during streams is important on packet-switched networks, which I [perhaps erroneously] assume this is.
(Later on, after the fact? That's what FOIA requests are for if you want to see every recorded bit. It will certainly come at a price, but if a person wants to compare the received friggin-laser-beams stream to that which the on-board video systems recorded internally, then it should be possible.)
Hopefully something nice. I don't think I've ever seen a 4k bluray but fine detail such as stars and dirt tend to get disturbed in compression pretty quickly.
My favorite streaming service is open source[1] and I have never had a billing[2] issue. Did I mention it has had everything I've tried to watch in high bitrate 4k?
Having identifiers where anyone can initiate conversation is the problem. Modern messengers like Signal or SimpleX allow you to share one-time contact info, completely preventing anyone you don't allow to contact you.
Besides that, people should sign up with random email aliases just as much as they sign up with random passwords.
Here is a free crossplatform workflow:
New, free Proton Mail[1]-->Free Bitwarden[2] account with single master password memorized[3]-->duck.com[4] alias pointing at Proton Mail-->Extract[5] duck.com api key to generate random duck.com alias for each site in Bitwarden-->Sign up for new service using new random email+password in seconds and never have to remember it and no spam.
Here is a simple crossplatform workflow: Paid proton suite[6]-->Single memorized master password[3]-->Generate random email alias and password for new services using proton pass.
If you use iCloud+ you can generate email aliases using a Raycast[7] extension or a browser extension[8] or inside of safari natively. There is also iCloud+ settings, but that is a pain to get to.
She is a good public speaker. I am not so sure about her opinion that people shouldn’t be responsible for their own privacy and relying on laws. Maybe she just glanced over it because it is a short show. But, you can’t just expect a law to be enough as we see in the EU. Obviously not a bad thing, but not even close to a silver bullet.
There certainly is an interesting tension building between far right lunacy and the desire to use corporate-social structures to prevent it from destroying civilization, in absolute "which is actually worse" scenario.
