side note: It kills you by making all your muscles tense so strongly that you can't breath any more. The muscles in your face tense in a way that it gives you whats called a "Strychnine Smile".
The satellites are dumb and would have a negligible effect. But if you want to offset the heat just to be on the right side, some mirrors or simply white surfaces on the ground could do the job.
And, According the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you have a much higher likelihood of contracting the disease from eating raw meat or from gardening.
But I guess you don't do much of either.
The thing is, like everyone of us, you'll die someday, you'll get sick, probably even very sick as you age. You can't cheat death, disease and suffering for ever. You can do the reasonable stuff to take care of you, avoiding really stupid stuff like DUI, hard drugs, cigarretes, excessive drinking, too much sugar, but you need to understand that this only goes so far, and that in average, it is not liking you are going to double your lifespan if you became completely anal about preventing risk. Sooner or later, no much how paranoid you are your cellular machinery will star failing, and no, you won't be able to upload your life to the cloud and live forever in the metaverse as much as your average incult billionaire tech bro believes.
And when this day comes, the question that really matters is not if you are going to die soon, but wether you have ever lived.
Now, you are free, and if you want to live in a super-afraid-karen modem the rest of your life, none of our business. But don't force an animal to share your miserable outlook of life. If you are so worried about the cat bringing those dangerous germs to your house, nobody is forcing you to have a cat.

Cats deposit the parasite in gardens, so your suggestion that this vector of infection is unrelated to roaming cats is misleading.
It would still be encoded, assuming your (analogue) POTS call traversed more than one exchange then it would have been coded to g.711 (ulaw or alaw) for that inter-exchange. Although (from memory) that would be 10ms packets.
T1 time slots are 8-bits, samples are sent individually, with no packetization delay. There may be some delay between sampling and the time slot, and in a buffer when calls are connected between T1s and the time slots don't need to be matched up.
If you were calling into an x2/kflex/v.90/v.92 modem bank, that was hosted on a T1 (or larger), and v.92 could get 33.6 up, 56k (or so) down. It should be possible to recreate that with VoIP, but I don't know that anyone is that dedicated... anyway for end user modem to end user modem, 33.6 is the limit.
I recently tried this for making a YT video using an ATA with a USR Courier dialing into a ISP's POP in San Jose. V.92 flat out didn't work for me, but V.90 did. Surprisingly I was able get 50-53k downstream carrier rates, upstream was pretty lousy at 14.4-16.8k. The calls only lasted a couple of minutes before they were unable to renegotiate. 28.8k was much more reliable.
This kind of question is meaningless, and I’m pretty sure it comes from the old view of neurons being somewhat akin to a 1-1 or many-1 digital switch (it isn’t).
In fact, we currently don’t even know the full extent of the types of neurons in the brain or the way they function and interact [1]
There are neurons that only fire when a certain percentage of their inputs are stimulated, some that have a temporal component to their firing and more.
In all the computer neural net research I read I never saw an implementation that truly explored or implemented more than a few types (like 3-4) of neuronal input and only one type of output
I dont think this is a problem. The computer nrural networks are closer to a single biological neuron than to a biological neural network. That provides tighter coupling. Long distance generalized "connections" can materialize as weight chains, recurence can provide timing.
I think there's gonna be a new wave of idea, I see more and more concepts related to distributed / massive parts related through their topologies / tissue like structures.
Yes Walter Pitt's proposal, which he disproved. But we know the prefrontal cortex is capable of simulating a turing machine, or any machine for that matter.
