    I guess that’s better but honestly not by much.

    See that guy between Bezos and Musk at the Trump inauguration? That’s Sundar Pichai, Alphabet/Google CEO.

      It’s zero better. Every one and every thing that bends the knee to fascism is fascist, and should be treated the same.

        If I were forced to pick between the two I’d take the guy who is only a white supremacist when it’s profitable over the guy who is a white supremacist every waking moment.

        Call it 1% better, if that.

    Im very much open to replacing my Starlink - but this isn’t it. Land based lasers are just going to be attached to things called cell towers - and if I have one of those nearby… then I’d use cellular.

      The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.

      Back when I was still in university, dormatories’ internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.
