It'll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.

Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon's employees have to go back to flip phones

Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.

And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.

Ugh, enough about the cybertruck!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Sigh

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.

Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.

Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?

Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don't trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.

Apparently they’re just plug and play wifi, you have to pay for an adapter to connect Ethernet to it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yah, i had to get the Ethernet dongle before I'd use it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.

Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.

That’s like not putting door handles on a car.

I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn't find a way to plug in a cable.

On the other hand, it's the best internet I've had out in the ass end of nowhere.

I hear the speed is very dependent on how many people are using it nearby.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, this is a good take, SatansMaggotyCumFart.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Sorry about that.
