Connectors come loose, which makes them dangerous.
They are uninsulated points that allow water and material ingress, and can partially or fully pull apart, causing arching. Which can cause combustion.
This is the main reason these are dangerous, which the majority of this entire thread misses. The added length or connector resistance is somewhat negligible here unless you’re daisy chaining long conductors, which often isn’t the case for in-home extensions.
Distance by itself would be no different than a single cord of the same length.
However, connection points are areas of localized resistance where connectors meet. This can introduce dangerous areas.
That said, those aren’t really the problem here:
The practical, human, problem here is important. Connectors come loose, which makes them dangerous. The majority of this thread is treating this question like a paper test problem, when in reality there are other factors that outweigh the “under ideal circumstances” problem.
Is it just me or is anyone else perturbed that the cable sizes in this infographic are all the same gauge?
That’s… Largely a financials problem.
Steam: $8-10 billion/y
GOG: $80-120 million/y
Steam can throw 10 GOGs worth of resources at a problem and barely break a sweat. Yeah, of course they are making huge strides, that’s how consolidation of wealth works when that wealth is actually reinvested.
It won’t only a few will be targeted in the media and the same cancerous culture will continue.

By the same logic a disabled spouse doesn’t mean you get any additional consideration right?
Exactly. This whole argument is just allowing corporate greed and manufactured resource scarcity to win.
Working class trying to remove rights and privileges from the working class because the ruling class creates a situation that encourages it.
Pretty much agree with the last statement.
Disagree with the first statement. Given that the survival of our species is one reliant on us not only having children but also raising them in a way that improves our world and doesn’t make it worse.
The later of course is the Crux of the problem. A society that doesn’t encourage parents to be good parents and just shits on them instead is not a society that wants to survive.
Kek.
That could never happen!

Social media is a theater of war. Manipulating citizens of a country slowly and insidiously over time is a huge win that inflicts no casualties on your own populace.
Yep, but now that you have monopolies doing it, they can do whatever they want and abuse their position.
The majority cost of Firefox is engineering.
Any cutbacks will negatively affect the ability for Firefox to keep up and will probably start a slow decline towards collapse and irrelevance.

This is so on the nose, I love it.
As a male who quite enjoys having said orface impaled by (lady) dick. These folks need to start enjoying life instead of hating it and dragging everyone else down with them.
Ravenously asperate dong nog
Brother, your killing me here, this is epic.
Samesies…
It’s very difficult though, sourcing material is difficult enough, archiving and making it actually useful and valuable even moreso. It takes a lot of intelligent processing.
LLMs can reduce that effort a lot, on the searching side, but that’s very expensive either in hardware or in API costs. And either way, would likely involve the efforts of a team to achieve.
Because advertising is what wins?
There’s no such thing as bad publicity anymore. If you can gain a lot of publicity with well-timed and poignant collages and snippets that target audience on say tic Tok. That’s an extremely powerful tool.
Currently things like this take not insignificant time and effort. Reducing the time of production is valuable.
How, exactly?
They should sure, who’s coughing up the tens of millions of dollars that might cost?
If they don’t have the resources to do it, they can’t.
Distributed filesystems that self hosters can support may be the future for resilient data, but we’re not really there yet in a scalable way.
I’m pretty sure that they do but this is a problem of and resources, which they are strapped for
I think you’re being intentionally obtuse here and betraying the spirit of the question?
Your meta analyzing the question instead of just taking the questions as it is, and in the process failed to actually address the core question. It’s a hypothetical scenario where most of our radio communication is jammed and unusable.
The mechanics of how the question got there don’t really matter, that’s not part of the question, it’s pointlessly pedantic to pick it apart. Just imagine the scenario with the mechanics you can consider plausible for such a scenario, and roll with it 🤦
“Aliens have technology beyond our means and largely render radio communication impossible by way of jamming”
