“Starlink still worked in Spain and Portugal when the whole countries lost power! Worth having @Starlink as backup, even if you have a gigabit landline. [@MarioNawfal] 🇪🇸 STARLINK USAGE SKYROCKETED DURING SPANISH BLACKOUTS Spain and Portugal’s power went poof last week - and mobile networks totally flopped. But guess what didn’t crash? Elon’s space WiFi. Starlink use jumped 35% over average, and 60% higher in Spain by Tuesday as phone”

“Service will be restored shortly. Sorry for the outage. SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again. [@Starlink] Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved.”
“People oddly assumed that I didn’t understand LiDAR, even though I oversaw the custom LiDAR development that Dragon uses to dock with the Space Station [@brivael] Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage”

“Yes [@MarioNawfal] 🚨🇿🇦SOUTH AFRICA BANS STARLINK - BECAUSE ELON ISN’T BLACK The South African government claimed Elon’s “unprogressive” views were a key factor in their decision to prevent Starlink from operating in the country. In South Africa, companies must have at least 30% of their… )”
“Significant improvements have been made to @Starlink latency (ping) & many more to come. Target is <20ms.”
“Starlink is awesome. Great bandwidth and low latency anywhere on Earth. And soon off Earth. [@stephsmithio] The difference between standard in-flight wifi and Starlink is insane. Surprises me every time that it just *works* Our kids are going to think it’s crazy we ever couldn’t connect in the skies”
