They’re just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that’s something.
I hope they both choke on their own bots.
Yup, I worked there in the late 90s and this was my experience. Also, at the end of the night the managers would lock the doors and make us clock out and clean the store. I didn’t know about wage theft back then, but I did know what they were doing was wrong.
Yeah, I got a phone warning before the last earthquake I experienced in Washington. It’s pretty cool, but I got the notification probably 15 seconds before I felt it. Maybe I could have planned better if I had longer, but it was like a 4.5 so it didn’t matter. Japan has a really good advanced warning system, the notification sound is pretty eerie.
A stable diffusion plug-in or something to export 3d models for blender would be awesome. I’ve been waiting for something like that.
I didn’t realize how temporary and disposable Starlink’s satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here’s a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn’t seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.
