He’s so weirdly childish.
Comment on After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship

What’s better is that, thanks to Elon Musk, “STINKY” is the default name for its Starlink wifi. They didn’t even change that.

Can’t speak to starlink specifically, but I know some shittier router brands would often reset to factory defaults every time you updated the firmware. Can easily see starlink doing that with a pushed firmware with the expectation some additional cell phone app would restore the correct settings.
So they very well might have turned off broadcasting but it got popped back on while they were on shift and it was detected.

Nah, Starlink doesn’t reset the Wi-Fi SSID for a firmware update.

Hmm I got Starlink earlier this year and I don’t remember it having a default. I think it asked me to set the ssid immediately.

Don’t worry! I’m sure the default username and password didn’t get changed either.

They did, because they were charging people for access to it.
