    SpaceX does launches and Starlink does satellite internet.

    I think all the Musk hate here misses that moment - SpaceX does what it’s intended to do which is amazingly cool all by itself, Tesla made electric cars more popular, and Starlink made satellite internet more popular.

    These are good.

  I have to support a remote client that uses Starlink. It’s a nightmare. We can deal with slow connections, we can deal with bad ping, but with Starlink what we get is the entire connection dropping every minute or so, and coming back up a short while later. It’s unbelievably bad.

    I can almost guarantee that’s because their terminal is in a shit location with too much of the sky obscured by trees or buildings. I had to set my parents up with it two years ago and if it can’t see as much of the constellation as possible it’s going to have periods of obstructed sattelite connectivity.

      Ohh… It’s ok guys, it’s only because the sky has clouds in it.

    That’s not typical. Starlink is more stable than most. I monitor over 8 locations using multiple different services for internet access and Starlink is about as reliable as mpls.

  Grok was probably used to make a software patch

  The company, in a partnership with T-Mobile, is also expanding the constellation with larger, more powerful satellites to offer direct-to-cell text-messaging services, a line of business in which mobile phone users can send emergency text messages through the network in rural areas

  Good to know.
