Yes! And no gears to worry about when you need to punch through a snow bank.

Hmm, looks like it's still running the locked US codebase but they were allowed to install their own electronic addons to it.

Didn't Israel get access to the code as part of their contract? Kinda wish we had asked for the same thing now...

Not if you care about getting accurate information.

Glorified autocorrect bullshit

I'm the kind of person that needs a folding bike (travel by sailboat) but at 4300$ for a bike with basic components I'm not sold on this one.

I don't mind a bit more latency (should still be nicely below 100ms) but my use case is more related to mid-Atlantic mobile connectivity than remote region broadband.

Their planned implementation just seems much better than others with beam shaping, linked satellites and less than 200 satellites to maintain and replace.

Although you're not wrong about our telecom track record...

It'll be interesting to see what the Canadian telesat LEO system will be capable of. They're supposed to be launching satellites next year and are using a higher orbit so will need much fewer satellites than starlink.

It's a real challenge when I use Boost for both. But I quickly catch on when I notice the post quality going to shit.

How quiet they are is a nice bonus too! At least until I put the studded tires on for the winter.

I get my made in Canada filamentsdepot recycled PETG from DigitMakers

Looks like it's futo keyboard time!

The one advantage gboard had was the ability to use multiple languages at once without switching. Otherwise I'm happy with my locally run LLM autocorrect and voice to text.
