alex i'm checking my email every single day right now because my starlink kit is on its way there's gonna be a game changer for me i think so yeah like you've unlocked a level like you've one-upped life if you've got starlink you know what's funny is i started thinking you know like now i need to get serious about a home pc setup i can always like my work laptop will do or or an ipad will do but if i'm gonna have like real internet at home now i gotta have like a real pc to connect to that so how's it going to work because my understanding of starlink is reasonably limited i watched a couple of jeff gearling videos i think that's about as far as it goes don't you have to tie it to a specific grid reference so that they have enough satellite bandwidth for you to talk to like it won't work if you drive NUMBER_TOKEN miles west or something right yeah i think it mostly turns out to be like a NUMBER_TOKEN mile area around your service address that you've put on your account is where it's functional i don't i don't know yet this is something i'm going to play with but it sounds like it's pretty straightforward in most cases to just update your service address and then like it takes effect in like NUMBER_TOKEN minutes and then you can start setting up in your new location i imagine that's actually not as smooth as it's going to go like i'll try to do it'll be like too many users in this area yeah i recall i was watching a guy on youtube who was an rv and was proclaiming that he had hacked the starlink algorithm to let him use it anywhere in actual fact what he was doing was he was pre-staging his location in the starlink app before he got there so the systems had time to catch up or if where he got to didn't have connection to update his service address i mean i could see that because i generally know where i'm going to end up parking at you know before i go there so i could plug that in before i arrive the other tricky thing is i think the little dishy takes like NUMBER_TOKEN watts pretty much consistently once it's up and running that's a significant amount of power in fact it's like running a whole pc it is pretty much isn't it and they're not cheap either see there was the NUMBER_TOKEN deposit which i felt was fair okay all right fine and then there's like a separate NUMBER_TOKEN dollar fee to get the kit and the kit is everything you need it's like the router ethernet the poe injector the dish all of it uh but every time i check it just says pending so you're six hundred dollars in the hole for this thing then and then the monthly service of course as well oh what does what does that cost i think it's going to be in the NUMBER_TOKEN range when you don't have good solid bandwidth almost any price that you can conceivably afford to pay is worth it yeah slow internet is worse than no internet that's what they say and then once you get that good internet head over to a cloud guru they are the leader in learning for the cloud linux and other modern
