    Ehhhhhh.

    Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it’s extremely expensive in upkeep.

    The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is “working on it”, but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

    Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can’t possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.

    former fatty here with a little addition: Also just eat less outside of your meals. Go diet in the supermarket by buying less, instead of dieting by not eating what have at home. You spend 20 minutes in the supermarket and multiple hours at home. It’s MUCH easier to be strong for 20 minutes than for 12 hours.
