Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
i will never ever forget the experience of pure and utter elation when technoblade joined the origins smp server unexpectedly and was dressed as a cute little bunny. never in my entire life am i going to experience the same joy again
headcanoning AE era emduo preparing for a formal event and the day before or so Techno is just bemoaning the fact that he's gonna have to do his hair all nice and formal (and he's only half serious, he genuinely does like having a nice hair style but actually doing it??) and Phil just slow blinks at him as if they haven't done this song and dance before, and says "mate I usually end up doing it for you, now quit your complaining and help me make sure i've got all the correct pins and medals laid out right now". idk I just like to think that Techno for the most part does enjoy being in formal wear, maybe bc it looks cool or the gold jewelry/ornamentation is soothing for piglin instincts. it's just a pain getting into formal wear because there's layers and pins and medals that all need to be in the right place and then he's gotta style his hair-
i think you can get what I'm saying lmao
Techno doing that thing where he sighs very loudly and exaggerated and acts all pathetic and sad while they're getting ready until Phil eventually is like "mate, do you need help doing your hair?" and Techno is like "I guess you can help" because he's a little shit about asking for help but also he just hates doing it and lacks the patience for it
the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal
