The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Mike hope it’s not too warm where you are. If it is say hi to Father and give him a good punch from me.<\/p>\n

I did my usual morning things, cats fed and watered, gen fed and started.<\/p>\n

Big smoke again, the wildfire near me is out of control and grew by another 300 hectares. Outdoors is not an option.<\/p>\n

I did need to do an obstruction test for my starlink. To see if my trees are in the way. I may have to buy a longer cable. Then wait more weeks for it to arrive. Not cheap either.<\/p>\n

So Starlink sends you a shorter cable so you have to buy the longer one. It removed the ethernet port so you have to buy an adapter.<\/p>\n

They lowered the price of the hardware, but upped the monthly fee. Lets see the hardware used to be $700. Now its $199. You don’t get an ethernet adapter thats $45. You get a shorter cable. The longer cable is $94.So doing the math. 199+94+45+60 shipping = 398. 700 -398=302. 302,\u00f711 price increase =\u00a0 just over 2 years to recoup his loss. It’s all about profit, Elon needs the money caused the starship blew up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also says Starlink is losing money. Rich people don’t lose money. They find ways to write the losses off, or sell or shutdown. I don’t see evidence of any of that.<\/p>\n

Anyways I have had my rant, and I can’t wait for the new internet dish to appear. My network congestion or bandwitj throttling is so bad downloading updates or streaming is impossible.<\/p>\n

OMG I just had an ad on my xbox. If it happens in game then i will switch back to PC.<\/p>\n
