This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wish govts would stop Starlink from happening.

It seems like an apocalypse contributor with all that could go wrong. And I can't really see how it could ever outperform terrestrial 5g mesh networks or fiber.
