same thing applies since they share the same airports. they'll give these planes higher priority because of the cost, but it's not enough to make an entire business from. they need the residential service to be profitable.

this is a common thing SpaceX people say, but in reality, it doesn't matter that much. streaming media isn't affected by latency at all, and web browsing/app usage is good enough. what really suffers is real time games or VPN

I've done route planning for satellite internet for domestic flights. airplanes tend to take the exact same paths over heavily concentrated areas, and the hubs have a tremendous amount of demand around them. you can verify this by payi

viasat can offer the same speeds for that price, and they do on business jets.

the problem is that not every one of these streaming devices supports all services, so you end up having a few of them. plus, the free LG channels that come with the TV are great. you get 24x7 channels of some good shows.

this is true. you can follow @dalevon_digital on Twitter and he frequently does slr/iPhone/pixel blind comparisons. the pixel has won every single one when compared to a reference SLR picture.

no, iPhone is far more overprocessed. see dpreview or any other legitimate camera review site. iPhone cameras/software are just lackluster compared to the competition. things like HDR on iPhone have been bad for years.

Starlink is not going to be faster than this necessarily. Starlink is also low bandwidth, but has to be compatible with all phones. So they are not able to design hardware in the phone with a better antenna for this purpose as Apple can d

you can't create "extra powerful antennas" in a cell phone. it's physics, and antenna gain is driven by size.

you need to heat the oil so it polymerizes and creates a strong nonstick bond. if you simply wipe it with oil when it's hot it will get sticky and not season properly.

I've had 5 cable providers in different cities and never experienced that. usually they overprovision you to make your plan look even better.
