I know this one, you call up spectrum and you get a year trial.

Hope the EU can get their own network up fast, because Elon is Ukraine's enemy, he will always cut off service when they need it most.

Fuck this absolute cunt who’s the biggest drain on society since Nero.

Starlink fastest growing revenue base is now governments vastly outpacing the growth of their consumer market. It is clear this is the real goal, to weaponize this technology.

I just still cannot believe that happened and just...no one cares.

I'm being pedantic, but there are those of who obviously care that this fuck nugget did this.

Nobody who matters cares.

We don't matter :/

I thought the same as I typed my comment...

That extortion has an end date, hopefully 2030, when the EU's Iris2 gets operational. Until then however Elon can play his nasty game though, at least for the higher quality level of the service.

Teslas in a few years:

"We notice that you're in an uncontrolled spin; uncontrolled spins violate Tesla's terms and conditions; your airbags have been deactivated. Upgrade now to the super spender safety plan for a one off payment of $30k to unlock instant airbag activation".

Goddamn this guy can't go one minute without being a complete piece of shit, his death will brighten my day

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

The guy that nazi saluted on live broadcast twice did this? Not shocked at all seeing the attrocities the nazis and communists did to the Ukrainian people.

Either someone buy out Starlink, Space X, and Tesla or create a better company would be great in the current timeline.

"reportedly"

my ass, try "positively"

The dispute isn't that they're not allowed to use Starlink for murder drones, it's that the murder drone plan is more expensive.

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 12 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

You do realize that reactive jet shahed interceptors are also using starlink and also hit the speed limit wall?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

What does that matter? How fast can a children’s hospital be moving?

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 18 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, because Musk needs more money.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Of course. He needs to get his building sized exploding metal dicks less explody soon, or his fucked.

But they literally make them explode for the shits and giggles. They even say so in their schedules lmao

“Sure would be a shame if something were to happen to your service…”

It's like running with a bucket of water to a burning man and saying "I'll douse you, but it'll cost you 100 bucks"

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Because Starlink is where most of SpaceX's revenue comes from and it doesn't turn a profit.

[–] Staff@piefed.world 2 points 3 hours ago

After that EU money
