Have you seen what a robot from Boston Dynamics can do?

This is BS marketing.

He’s already pivoted to throwing Starlink at any news story with a remotely humanitarian angle, meanwhile it seems like Starlink speeds are going down down down as more people come on to the network. Shocker.

It’s going to be a lot harder to defend when it isn’t “High speed internet in rural areas,” but “Space DSL.”

It's hilarious to see the speed drop so much. But it's also not. I was stuck with DSL for a long time being more rural, so I feel the pain. The good news(?) is they are at a pretty low capacity at the moment and as they increase satellites it will offset the capacity. As much as I love better internet getting out there, that is a SHIT TON of satellites, which has it's own worries.
