This is not how it works in practise. I’ve been on Starlink for more than three months, and I play CS and other competetive shooters daily. There is no such a thing 100ms latency spikes every X seconds. Same for packet loss. Teams calls are no problem at all, and the latency and quality of the Internet is comparible to that of a fibre lane. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if you didn’t know you are on the Starlink network.

Based on what? The receiver knows where it is since it has GPS. Starlink knows the orbits of their own satellites. Why wouldn't they queue up connections to upcoming satellites and then hand off from one to the next in anticipation of the one you are on eventually rotating out?

What's up with the apparent assumption they only track one satellite at a time or until there is a communication problem? That would be stupid (and why they obviously don't do that).


Based on life experience with anything wireless.

From cellphones to wifi to bluetooth, it's all shit compared to fiber.


I have tried Starlink as well and video calls have been fine.


CrowdStrike has various auto update policies, including not to automatically update to the latest version, but to the latest version -1 or even -2. Customers with those two policies are also impacted.


I keep my KeePass file on my OneDrive / iCloud account. This way it is always up to date as it syncs automatically after each change and my devices always open the most recent version.


“When he asked why he was non-inclusive, Olohan was told that he had shown favouritism towards high-performing employees and that he was “ableist” for commenting on other employees’ “walking pace.”

What? How can favoriting high-performing employees ever be a valid reason?


That part stood out to me as particularly funny, like a comedy script.


It might be a long shot, but if you do think that some of those files might be images, you can try dumping their contents as hex and then use an online hex-to-image converter and see if this produces anything useful.
