Sarlacc is returning...

I'm sure eventually there'll be a means to merge them at the client end.

Is that even possible with older iPads etc? Seems like once they go out of support there's nothing you can do.

Someone ran out of micromorts.

Do Ron Ron?

Any plans for a Sydney or NSW Daily Discussion Thread? Seems to be a great idea.

There are more companies coming.

The problem with low earth orbit satellites is you need lots of them since they fly so low. Most smaller countries couldn't afford to do it.

Here's a visualiser of where they are right now.

I would ask people to consider the benefits to the globe of having ubiquitous 100+ Mbps internet no matter where you are.

Most of the people, myself included, who get Starlink get it because there's no other viable option - usually due to distance from towns and cities.

Certainly there is some pollution as a result of building and sending the 2,000+ satellites, but it may be a net positive compared to the environmental impact of digging a trench to each property, manufacturing and laying a fibre optic cable to the end user.

The end user routers use about 30 watts which is also a higher cost compared to the 5 watts or so most other technologies use. Mine runs on solar.

I'm not happy about giving Elon money for this service of course given his behaviour - he's not the majority owner at least.

The unintended interference is probably something that can be designed away to some degree - I'm guessing harmonics from the beam forming are tricky if that's the cause.

How do you apply it?

Crystal set with one wire in the water?

Still exists?

Yep. Used to be able to scratch off individual letters to alter the words. As a child I think s, h, a and m were a common target.

Yeah I'm only thinking of on screen stuff, not print etc.

Aah ok. Different target audience :)

On the plus side, now you have a reason to get an 8k monitor!

Snipping tool FTW.

I'm not sure anyone would want to steal your butter.

For me it's either when I find the included RAM is too small (as apps grow over time) or when the flash memory degrades to a noticeable degree, or when the camera loading takes too long.

So what's the charging regime? 2.45v per square or 1.7v?

I guess many end up in the dead bedroom subs.

Our kitchen isn't insulated. I keep the bedroom at 12 degrees minimum overnight for safety.
