For those wondering, when using the biggest QR code with the maximum error correction (10,208 bytes), 1,454,942 QR codes is slightly less than 14GiB, which should be more than enough for a Windows ISO.
My math: (1454942×10208)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈13.83
Edit: Damn another guy beat me to it, now I wonder how I’m so far off.
I’m not a radio engineer, but my understanding is you’re just bouncing signals off the moon itself, there isn’t a device that echos the signal back or anything. There are mirrors on the moon to reflect lasers back though.
Reminds me of The Truman Show.
It’s only a mercury rectifier, totally safe (compared to the radioactive stuff) but looks really cool.
I don’t know if I’ll remember, but I’ll be able to try this in a few days, I have the same laptop, 2x 2.5G USB NICs + another 2 already in the mail, and also a 10G network.
If you’re wondering, my intention for ordering them definitely wasn’t for this, but more just for places around the house I can plug into, without having the framework NIC hanging off my laptop.
I thought it was a weird peace sign at first.
Not as fun, but the original is more readable.
There’s Adobe creative cloud too
I am meat that the universe tricked into thinking and feeling… so many things.
Sorry but that sentence reminded me of They’re Made… Out of Meat.
Maybe, but also I think I was looking at the raw ‘data bits’, not ‘binary’ data. It’s actually almost exactly 4GiB, even when dropping down to minimum error correction (1.7 GiB otherwise).
(1454942×2953)÷1024÷1024÷1024≈4.00Edit: So if alphanumeric mode could store lowercase letters, base64 would’ve stored more.
