All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

I think this generalization is far from valid

• You're assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
• South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
• Starlink doesn't have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

This is assuming it's not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there's a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

"In the design plans for the system, the word 'main' was used inconsistently between the device that sends the electric signals, and the device that receives the signals," NASA said in a written statement. "On the signal side, 'main' meant the main parachute. In contrast, on the receiver side 'main' was used as a reference to a pyrotechnic that fires to release the parachute canister cover and deploy the drogue.

"Engineers connected the two mains, causing the parachute deployment actions to occur out of order," NASA said.

What's wrong with upgrading once every 5-10 years? Not everyone plays the latest games on 4k Ultra

Admittedly 4x is a bit steep, more like 3-4x

Could it be used as the basis for more advanced information exchange among those companies?

Nicht mal Manager haften für ihre Fehler, wieso sollten Admins?

This. I'm using PyCharm with the new UI, and watching my colleagues struggle with VSCode is a bit painful to see. Not saying you can't be productive with it, but why make your life harder than it needs to be?

So you mean we would have weird useless concrete structures everywhere? I doubt it

Einfach nur ein Armutszeugnis für die Firma. Dilettantisch implementiert und dann den verklagen, der darauf hinweist

You are talking about transmitting every bit of code you write to the internet. Go ahead if you want that, I don't
