You know if your internet drops out you could just use your phone or idk not have internet for a bit. You dont NEED a starlink like you need food or being able to commute etc. Tesla, starlink are more a luxury for an average hn user. | ||

My local internet is 5 Mbit. I am a programmer. Average latency to servers I work on is 200ms. Tell me more about how Starlink is a luxury. Especially considering it's a full $10 less than the monthly robbery by our local Telco. | ||

I'm a fairly average HN user but I earn my livelihood by working from home. Backup connectivity is cheap. | ||
