has the definition of “no longer transmitting” changed recently?
When functioning properly, the FDS compiles the spacecraft’s info into a data package, which is then transmitted back to Earth using the TMU. Lately, that data package has been “stuck,” the blog post said, “transmitting a repeating pattern of ones and zeros.” Voyager’s engineering team traced the problem back to the FDS, but it could be weeks before a solution is found.
I mean, i’m not a scientist, is that not transmitting. flipping click bait titles.

Title is “no longer transmitting data.” If it’s repeating a pattern, then data is no longer being transmitted.
Unreadable data is still data.
Is mayonnaise data?
It is made of lots of little bytes of mayonnaise.
Quantum mayonnaise theory.
I’m a fan of the many jars interpretation
Yes.
It’s not unreadable. It’s not data.
If you want to be pedantic you could say it’s “transmitting symbols”.
If I only typed out “abaababababbaab” over and over you wouldn’t call it “unreadable words.” You’d say it’s not words.
Omg, you can’t just type “abaababababbaab” on the internet you filthy animal!
