  • Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”

  • The sats pass by every location, because of physics they circle the globe constantly rapidly. They can't only operate in rural areas. So you will have some people in cities use it just not very much.

  • Even the 50k sat max size constellation isn't anything for dense urban areas. That's never been the intended market.

  • Thousands of satellites are immune to anti satellite missile, with only a few dozen geosats one country could blow up those sats and cut a few ocean cables and cut off most of the International transocean internet access. That's a good thing, because it makes it so that any nation preparing for war isn't tempted to cut off internet because it wouldn't work anyway.

  • You have permafrost melting so northern tundra areas will be worse to build on going forward. But the context is tiny rural places that don't have roads and you travel by plane or snowmobile, they're not getting cable.

  • It's the only high speed solution if you're more than 30 miles away from the nearest town and you live completely surrounded by trees or hills. 4g internet is pretty good for home use and that covers most rural areas but that's not large amounts of data usually. It's good for a lot of edge cases like open ocean or really remote areas. And crucially it can do that with very low lag unlike any other traditional geosat space internet.

  • Steam voluntarily let you have family sharing, without a monthly fee, so that removed the biggest problem without having actual lending.

  • You could have legislation, just make it so that they have to keep a download button for people that already have something purchased. The real issue is that like if Sony doesn't have the rights to something anymore then the rights holder can go after Sony. You just need a rule that they can keep something and can't be suedby others for providing downloads to customers even if Sony lost the rights, so that only applies to new sales.

  • You dint need optical drives specifically. Gog style drm free zip is better than a disc. If you put it on a thumb drive it's physical.

  • If Europe has started experiencing over 40°C heatwaves frequently, then this planet really is fucked

    Jump

  • The fact that there was a temporary warm period and cool period for a few centuries in one region isn't relevant. We have climate data and co2 levels to compare with those periods, they are not the same thing.

  • It's just a funny coincidence that people who bought scam coins from them also happened to be very likely to have billions of government related contracts.

  • I think it's done so that the price goes up and benefits all the long term share holders.

  • The AI data centre boom built on a mountain of hidden debt — Big Tech is spending more than space-race levels on AI infrastructure, but hidden loans and commitments mask the true financial risks

  • The cost will come down in 3 generations a lot, but the 1to3 trillion spent now to then will be worthless.

  • Initially no, they're designed to be under so that it surges after ipo, that makes it look good performance.
