I just get basic internet $25. I have the apps that I'm interested in, so I pay less than $100, to stream. So many apps have live channels too.I can't keep up with the content from my Telus satellite TV service which is my only option as we can't get cable here. Nor can we get internet over phone or optic cable so when a wireless service came along in 2012 we upgraded from dial-up then. I upgraded our wireless about a year ago but we still only get about 1meg download speed unless I want to get the business service for about twice as much and it's almost $100/mth now as is sat TV.
Lots of great content on many of the streaming services but not enough hours in my day to waste money on them. I donate monthly to PBS so I could get some DVDs I wanted and that was over a year ago and I haven't watched them yet. Gives me access to their streaming service called Pasport but I haven't watched anything on it as the same shows come with the sat TV service. Need to cancel that I think. It's $10/mth US but shows on my MC as $14Can. I do watch it a lot so may just lower my donation to $5US a month.
If I need to learn to do something like car repair I prefer a website with print and pictures for instruction or the Haynes manual I bought for my car than a video tho I have recorded a few things off Utube for later watching.
It can be tough to be an analog guy in a digital world.
That's okay because we still have one 'regret' card from them to use for their stupid stealth weather balloon.wheee! Let’s really jam up low earth orbit! What could possibly go wrong!
China to launch nearly 13,000 satellites to ‘suppress’ Starlink: researchers
The satellite constellation is likely to be launched quickly to prevent SpaceX from hogging ‘low-orbit resources’, according to PLA space scientists.amp.scmp.com

Now we know what China finds acceptable..'regret', and can weaponize it. See how this works?
We really just didn't find this out, did we?

Capped (350 GB then the dreaded slowdown) wireless costs $85. Sat TV is $125. So over $200 a month. As much as I hate the ideal of the giving Musk money, skylink is the only viable option to get rid of sat. TV, if it ever gets here

I paid my deposit and waited almost a full year before getting an email saying mine was ready to ship. Wanted it because of the slow wireless I have now and having to pay another hun for satellite TV or nothing. In the meantime I had read a few articles about how these low-orbit satellites were screwing up the night sky for astronomers all over the world. Decided I didn't want to contribute my support for that and declined. Got my deposit back on my VISA within a week or so.Capped (350 GB then the dreaded slowdown) wireless costs $85. Sat TV is $125.

Not a lot of impact to Muck but like not tossing my cigarette butts on the ground when there is already lots there I'm not contributing to the problem and get to feel just a tiny bit better about myself for it.
There's a couple other companies planning the same kind of service and with China's 13,000 headed up only space telescopes are going to be able to see anything soon.
Eventually a space launch with people on it is going to get clobbered by one of these things and I won't have to share the blame.

NASA Quietly Removes the Calendar Placeholder For SpaceX’s Starship Launch
The highly anticipated Startship orbital test was scheduled for March 11 as of last week, according to a NASA calendar. But the schedule has since been changed.

i wish he'd go ahead and have the catastrophic breakdown he's heading towards...the faster he snaps, the fewer lives he ruins...meanwhile, Shartsip

you think he’s headed for one? I think it’ll be more of a slow death by belt sander. Overdocumented on his captive media platform.

he won't have twitter for much longer, that level of gross mismanagement cannot lead to success. The only reason he hasn't tanked it yet is he has other resources to tap...but he's losing money daily.
Tesla is doing well, but they had a huge jump on the established car makers. Now they're catching up, and they KNOW what the fuck they're doing, not stumblin in the dark. They know you have to test shit before you announce it, that you have to have service available, and universal power connections...They also know you take care of your employees better, and pay your fucking bills...
muck seems to be bent on alienating everyone on the planet that isn't on his list of twit fanbois. It's the one thing he's doing that he will succeed at...

This is actually interesting...but the author should seriously look about getting muck's dick surgically removed from his mouth....

So how long do you think it will take the Big Boy Automakers to not only copy mucks "inovations" but to also improve upon them?
I'm guessing they're already half way done building some new equipment.

Austin, Texas CNN —
SpaceX’s latest rocket launch was called off Sunday after computers detected an issue with engine power just moments before liftoff.
The Falcon 9 rocket was slated to vault 60 more Starlink internet satellites into Earth’s orbit after launching from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The countdown clock made it all the way to zero, and a launch official was heard giving the final updates — “ignition” and liftoff!” — but nothing happened. “Disregard, we have an abort,” the announcer continued.
SpaceX’s Michael Andrews, a supply chain supervisor, said on the company’s webcast Sunday that the hold was triggered by computers, which constantly survey the rocket’s data in the moments before liftoff and can automatically stop the engines from firing if any abnormal readings are detected. Andrews added that, overall, the rocket was in good health.

Where do you live, The Yukon? Capped? WTF? Your phone or home? Do you guys not have cable? Xfinity?

“This past week, we completed a difficult organizational overhaul focused on improving future execution, using as much feedback as we could gather from the entire company,” Musk wrote, confirming that he has kept laying employees off after telling them he would stop on November 21st. “Those who remain are highly regarded by those around them.”
So muck's plan is to keep those employees that give each other good reviews, and kiss each others asses...sounds like his typical level of genius...
he's down to 2k employees, from 7500 when he took over. His plan seems to be quadrupling everyone's work load, and giving them stock in a company he's busy tanking...
