Yeah - was the brony/furry mascot original to the service or added by OP?

Who's saying they don't? One good thing doesn't negate another

There is a nuance missed in the discussion so far - Starlink is creating a new product level, differentiating service between continental and intercontinental aviation connectivity. Previously these were a single category.

If you are operating in North America for example, your service is going from $10k to $12.5k. Still a 25% increase, which is not fun, but I think a lot of the customers affected by this will fit into this category. You only need the $20k plan if your aircraft travels between their roughly-continental regions.

Nicholas Air, quoted in the article, appears to have no need for the $20k plan and should not use it.

What's the physical basis for this effect? Does it happen in reality or is it a style choice?

I wonder if consumer routers will end up being built in a trivially-not-a-router configuration - something akin to a pull-tab or turn of the screw that closes a circuit, transforming the device from legally something else into a router after it's purchased.

What a dumb timeline.

Why anyone would allow their TV to connect to the internet is beyond me.

Even the title "Orbital House of Cards" is unnecessarily editorializing.

I have to agree. I tried using it for a few months and it left me convinced I'll be paying for iCloud photos for the rest of my life.
