  @SpaceX @Starlink World War III could result in multiple Starlink & other Satellites being shot down, thus resulting in a shrapnel devastating the space above Earth. Therefore, we might not be able to go to Outer Space at all! To prevent this tragedy, we need to rapidly spread awareness!!!

  @MilMileBattery @Starlink @Tesla Chill out Ryan. Starlink does NOT work well in downtown urban areas like Austin. The high rise buildings block the Satellites. I have Starlink in my Plaid and I run into issues in downtown Austin.

  The claim that United Airlines discontinued its Starlink partnership is not accurate. United temporarily disabled Starlink Wi-Fi on about two dozen Embraer E175 regional jets due to radio interference affecting pilot communications. This is a common technical issue with new Wi-Fi systems, not a safety risk. United and Starlink are working on a fix, already identified, to be implemented during maintenance. The partnership continues, with plans to equip all two-cabin regional jets by the end of 2025.

  @MachinistMax @KatSuerte @Starlink I went from Hughes Net ( which is NO internet 90% of the time) to Starlink and the monthly fee was the same! I Used to “time out” on my computer during financial transactions. Starlink is reliable. They have no real customer service. But you most likely won’t need it.

  @BlackberryXRP Dude why do so many ppl think starlink is more than it is. If servers go down, no internet works. Starlink is a last leg delivery method, not the internet itself. I.e. X servers go down, you can access it on starlink, phone data, fiber, or cable. The source dies, it all dies.

  Over 36,000 tracked objects and millions of untracked fragments clog low-Earth orbit, with SpaceX’s 6,000+ Starlink satellites adding to the mess. A Kessler Syndrome cascade could lock humanity out of space for decades, a problem Musk’s constellation exacerbates but his engineering mindset would aim to solve with laser-equipped cleanup sats.

  What is Starlink Direct to Cell? Starlink Direct to Cell is a new technology that lets your regular mobile phone connect directly to a satellite in the sky, instead of needing a nearby cell tower. How is this different from other Starlink services? Starlink already offers satellite internet through a small dish you install at home, in a car, or on a boat. These systems deliver fast internet (like Wi-Fi) by connecting the dish to satellites. But those setups require special hardware and are mostly used for homes, businesses, or vehicles. Direct to Cell is different — you don’t need any dish or extra equipment. It works directly with your phone, just like regular cell service. How does it work? 1.Starlink satellites orbit the Earth like "cell towers in space" 2.Your phone connects to these satellites just like it would to a regular cell tower 3.The satellite sends your signal down to the internet — and back. ******Key Features •No new phone required •Can bypass censorship or shutdowns

  Your Starlink Mini might work in Cuba if activated elsewhere, but it's illegal under Cuban law. The government bans unauthorized use, confiscates devices, and issues penalties. Starlink may also disable service if it detects use in Cuba, an unsupported region. Some users report success, but risks include equipment loss and legal consequences. Given these challenges, using Starlink Mini in Cuba is not recommended.

  Creating a #NewIdentity for safety & privacy a) Select a name not associated with you. b) Never operate from a location associated with you (cafe, Starlink). c) Leave your real cell phone at home. d) Remove the battery of your burner phone when not in use. e) Only turn it on at locations not associated with you. f) Never use your burner phone to call someone from real life. g) Never log in to accounts that cross your identity. h) Dissociate yourself from crypto associated with real life. i) Create multiple identities with different names and addresses. j) Don't make friends with your new identity k) NEVER click on anything, just search for it yourself, or open it in a sandbox environment. l) Do not use MS Office or Google Docs, as they share metadata about your device, use @LibreOffice.

  @CytoplasmicANA All the same incentives for MNOs existed in the 1990s (and lack of coverage was a bigger issue then). Just like Starlink, AST won't work on every device. D2D is an opportunity to sell new high end smartphones, that's why Apple is in this business.

  Crypto works well until internet service is disrupted or Starlink and other Satellite providers are ordered to disconnect service in certain areas through geofencing. What use is crypto then? I'm a strong crypto supporter, but with everything happening in the world and concerns about internet communication disruptions, many people are worried, and it's reflecting in the markets.

  No credible evidence suggests the 2024 U.S. election was rigged. Fact-checks from sources like Newsweek and AP News debunk claims of vote manipulation, including those involving Dominion machines or Starlink. Election officials, including CISA, confirm the election's integrity, with no widespread fraud found. Social media posts alleging rigging, such as in Georgia, often rely on unverified data or misinterpret voter errors as fraud. While isolated issues can occur in elections, they don't indicate systemic rigging. Trust in verified sources like state election boards is key, as speculation fuels distrust without proof.

  Use of #Starlink terminals in #Iran: Technical and legal hurdles: Starlink terminals – consisting of a flat satellite dish ("Dishy"), Wi-Fi router, and accessories – are not freely available in Iran. Officially, Starlink is banned: The authorities consider unauthorized satellite communications devices illegal and criminalize their possession. Anyone caught faces serious charges, including espionage. For example, in November 2023, 22 Starlink antennas were confiscated in Tehran, which, according to authorities, were allegedly distributed by the CIA to opponents of the regime. Handling them is correspondingly risky – security forces confiscate discovered devices and track users to deter potential dissidents. Procurement and costs: Due to the lack of official distribution channels, Iranian users smuggle the hardware into the country via neighboring countries. An active black market has emerged, for example, via Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, or the Gulf States. Prices there are enormous: A Starlink kit currently costs between USD 700 and USD 2,000 in Iran – far more than the approximately USD 250 in the USA. The monthly fee of approximately USD 70–100 must also be paid indirectly (e.g., through credit cards registered abroad or intermediaries), as direct payments from Iran are not possible due to sanctions and legal regulations. These high costs severely limit the user base. It is mostly wealthier, tech-savvy individuals or network activists who can afford Starlink. According to estimates, by the end of 2024, around 20,000 Iranians already had access to Starlink – a number that continued to rise until the beginning of 2025. An Iranian industry source even spoke of over 100,000 users (including co-users per terminal), which suggests a rapid increase in secretly operated terminals. This figure has also been picked up by Western media: According to estimates, around 20,000 Starlink terminals are in operation in Iran, acquired illegally through unofficial channels. Technical challenges: A Starlink terminal requires a power supply and, above all, a clear view of the sky to connect to the LEO satellites. In densely populated residential areas or apartments, setting up a conspicuous white antenna is problematic – users find alternatives by mounting the dishy on roofs, balconies, or hidden outdoors. The Starlink satellites are physically capable of serving Iran (they orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes and cover all regions). Thanks to laser-linked satellites, the system does not require a ground station in Iran – traffic can be routed via satellites, for example, to Europe, thereby bypassing Iranian internet control nodes. Starlink thus completely bypasses the usual censorship points (ISP gateways, national filtering network). As soon as Musk lifted the software geo-block (activating the beams), existing terminals were actually able to connect. However, its use is not trivial: The antenna initially requires GPS reception to determine its location and the satellite positions. This is precisely where the regime's technical jamming maneuvers begin. State jammers: According to reports from users and experts, the Iranian government is actively disrupting or blocking Starlink signals. In particular, GPS frequencies are being jammed or distorted coordinate signals (spoofing) are being transmitted. This led to temporary outages and forced Iranian Starlink users to manually re-align their devices or input alternative location data. Starlink normally requires a GPS fix to boot up – under persistent GPS jamming, the terminal remains stuck in boot mode. SpaceX has responded: The Starlink app now has a switch to determine the position via the Starlink satellite constellation itself. This method is slower, but a workaround for locally unreliable GPS. In addition, tinkerers have discovered that an external GPS antenna can be connected to amplify the signal or receive it more directionally. Such hardware modifications—e.g., soldering a highly sensitive patch antenna to the antenna input—can partially circumvent jamming. Nevertheless, this remains a cat-and-mouse game: The Iranian authorities have mobile jammers and are likely targeting the Starlink Ku-band frequencies in sensitive areas. However, they have not yet been able to completely block the service. The multitude of possible connections (thousands of satellites and terminals) makes widespread jamming difficult—Iranian censors have had to admit that external satellite signals can be used.

  @ShaykhSulaiman They shut down the internet in order to disrupt communication of Mossad agents, that's why they want Elon to turn on Starlink. They should turn on their jamming systems
