You don’t deserve the downvotes, you’re right. If everyone used the “iTs NoT sTeAlInG” argument then no digital works would ever be profitable and everyone would lose.
Where am I shifting the goalposts exactly?
“because being used in war is a reason why it is a bad ISP”, like I said before, I very much doubt the Ukrainians would agree with your take on this.
“if a war breaks out and a power can destroy them, we’re talking global breakdown of internet via starlink” ?? Do you think anyone is advocating we should replace all internet connections with Starlink?
“Then there’s also the piss poor service, the poor number of total connections, the lack of redundancy, the cost,” Should I copy-paste about Ukraine again?
“ecological damage” negligent amount compared to actually wasteful industries
You claim “Starlink is a bad ISP” because you think the satellites are wasteful, I disagree since Starlink can provide a global service to areas where it’s needed in a way no one else can. I don’t know what you find so difficult to understand? “a TrUe LeMmY eXpErIeNcE”
I’m ignoring that fact because its mostly irrelevant to this conversation. Would the Ukrainians prefer if it was controlled by a more reliable ally? Of course
“Regular” satellite internet is nowhere near what starlink offers and it’s pretty telling you assume it is.
An actual problem that you’ve not mentioned is the interference with ground based telescopes
I agree with almost everything you wrote. Purely speculation but the starlink terminals might be cheaper? The latency/bandwidth would also be significantly worse with O3b since it’s in medium earth orbit compared to starlinks low earth orbit. “Regular” satellite internet is prohibitively expensive with even worse bandwidth/latency.
I also agree that people shouldn’t be living in the Amazon but they are and we can’t really force them to leave.
Maybe do a cursory Google search before being confidently incorrect
I’m sure digging fiber out in the Amazon rainforest will turn out great
From what I understand the Ukrainians never had control of the nukes, they didn’t actually have the launch codes to use them.
Regardless, having global access to the internet is great. Ask the people living in remote areas of the Amazon, no chance for them to get fiber, or Africa, or remote islands, or ships/airplanes.
If youre speaking of rural America not needing starlink because fiber is a thing, then you should broaden your horizons
Completely agree
“Who needs NASA anyway”, “who needs to go to space anyway” Very narrow-minded viewpoint. Like it or not spacex is cutting edge
I doubt the Ukrainians would agree with you
I hoped people on Lemmy would be less obtuse than Reddit but oh well
Batteries and latency? Try watching the video before typing out such ignorant and snide remarks
Wireless mouse (with low latency) is one of the best hardware purchases I’ve ever made. Wireless speakers and screen seems a bit unnecessary though but damn cool that he made it all work
Stunning visuals maybe but damn the story was bad and ruined any internal consistency of the space battles in the entire franchise. Rogue one is the only good Disney SW movie, Solo is fine too
I get where you’re coming from and I agree the job security for Devs and the financing of games is fucked. It’s still disingenuous to claim that pirating the game has the same impact as buying.
Disagree, like yesman (lol) said it’s best to wait. I’m not that worried about playing games day one but I still want to sort the Devs, after they’ve patched out the bugs and removed DRM preferably
Good video! Slightly annoying that it’s one of those “group channels” with multiple creators uploading. I’d like to subscribe to this guy but then I’ll get a bunch of other random videos I don’t care for :(
My god
Oh, a typo
