Then why should we care that you had one?

Could you be so kind to log off and stop commenting?

[–] kattenluik@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You still should!

Haven't you heard? Every country has year books and OP isn't leaving the rest of the world out!

I don't know anywhere else they're used, but in the US at the end of a "high school" year everyone gets their picture taken and they can put in a quote below their picture, this is then put in a book with the pictures laid out in a grid pattern.

This means that when you go to another page or close the books, the pictures on the other page touch and kiss!?!? No idea why the US would ever allow pictures with minors kissing but who knows.

I said shouldn't.

And also simply not necessary to have as many satellites as Starlink does needed to cover the ocean and the rare spots where wires can't go.

That's completely wrong, for the ISPs it usually isn't worth achieving and is why the government should step in.

Which is why I didn't say it was factual, but rather that I didn't see it being comparable.

And no, my point has nothing to do with ISP companies and for a business it would be illogical to dig to more rural areas.

This is something Starlink avoids by being in space obviously, other existing ISPs wouldn't make much money off of it anywhere near as fast for example. This is why the government should handle all of it, like I said.

That's why I said it's hard to imagine that ever happening currently, it doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate solution.

On Earth you can compensate for the pollution caused by laying in wires, and if this was done by the government it would probably be near or at powerlines (when they exist, which they should) and it could just be part of normal maintenance for example.

None of this can be done with LEO, it's getting polluted up there and these satellites just get burnt up. We're removing precious resources from our planet to burn them up for no reason and causing pollution on Earth and outside of it, it makes no sense.

I meant comparable to wired up internet or proper wireless towers in infrastructure cost, the end user cost is absurd anywhere in the US and it's not worth talking about.

[–] kattenluik@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago (6 children)

That makes sense, but Starlink is also extremely expensive and I don't see the price being comparable honestly.

For your first case while evacuation and such, there are alternatives and you shouldn't need full internet access for situations like that. (obviously this isn't the case right now)

From everything that has been posted on the US and what I've seen with ISPs and such, satellite internet is not necessary. I hate Starlink with a passion for what the consequences are, I hate looking up in a dark night and being able to see a giant row of Starlink satellites and I hate how much it pollutes even outside of the Earth. It's not necessary and I will always be for just other wireless communication or straight up wires.

The install process for Android Studio should also prompt you to download more ram, it's unacceptable that they don't.
