Yeahhhh about that.

LEO satellites have a lot stronger signal and their phased array terminals have a surprisingly good SNR. This isn’t your grandpa’s Hughesnet.

I never have more than a second or two of interruptions out there even though heavy rainstorms. Thunderstorms directly overhead sometimes knock it out for a few minutes if they’re dropping hail and lightning but I usually unplug my computer during those anyway. Its all about maximizing its view of the sky so it can always pick the strongest satellite at that time… M

I hate musk too but the engineering quality in starlink is insane.

Bold of you to assume that diseased mushroom head of his still works, at his age and health.

but with Starlink what we get is the entire connection dropping every minute or so, and coming back up a short while later

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.

Did the band a favor, stopping them from entering a shithole.

We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You’ll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can’t do homework and fail the class.

The whole system is fucking bullshit

Is it any surprise he denies help to a state that voted for kamala in 2024?
