There be gremlins

But yeah same, S1 was fantastic but everything afterwards was not nearly as good and at some points genuinely bad. Hopefully Star city doesn’t follow the same pattern.

You can absolutely accurately calculate the percentage of a lithium battery. I do so every day with solar setup I live on. Even after months floating between 20% and 80% the batteries stop charging at 99.5% and would shut off if I hit 0-1%

You just need to use a well calibrated shunt.

You should see her on the beach!

Otherwise the front cabin is for storage + litter and ventilation is set up to suck all smells out!

Northern Atlantic sailing with all the whales!

This boat has been her home for the past three years but it did take her a few months before she started coming out while sailing.

Nahhh, while sailing she gets unlimited wet food because she doesn’t drink as much so most of the grumps come from the need to wear her life jacket to go outside haah

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 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.
