A Starlink subscriber has paid $85/month for satellite internet for 2 years.
He mounted the dish on his roof. He connected to the WiFi. He opened Netflix. That was his entire Starlink experience $85/month for WiFi from space. Fast enough. Reliable enough. Good enough.
His neighbor a network engineer who also runs Starlink told him something during a fence-line conversation that made him pull out his phone and open the Starlink app for the first time since installation.
“You’re running Starlink on default settings. The default router name is broadcasting to everyone within a mile that you have Starlink including the serial number. Your WiFi bands are merged meaning your devices are fighting between 2.4GHz and 5GHz instead of connecting to the optimal frequency. You’ve never opened the hidden debug page that shows real-time satellite connections, latency, and obstruction data that the app doesn’t display. Your security is on WPA2 when WPA3 is available. You don’t have a guest network every visitor who connects has access to your entire local network. You’ve never run the split speed test that tells you whether your slow speeds are caused by the satellite connection or your WiFi signal. You’ve never configured content filtering the free malware and adult content blocker built into the router. And you’ve never opened the obstruction tool that would have told you the tree on the south side is blocking your signal for 6 minutes every hour.”
He showed him 11 Starlink settings, diagnostics, and capabilities that optimize speed, improve security, reduce cost, and unlock features the dish has been capable of since the day it was mounted.
Here’s every hidden Starlink feature most subscribers never configure 🧵
@CleansedTweets I was there during March 2020 , just a huge building site with dug up streets , not much has changed, lovely islands a few miles out by boat though
Folks won’t like this.. but here goes 🫣
The only GENIUS-path dollar you can put on the table today that is reserved, redeemable, and already sitting as a native issued currency on a ledger that can PvP with another sovereign coin is RLUSD.
A Traveler is a reserved coin that still works when there is no account left to credit. A dollar that can change currency against another sovereign reserved coin, on one clock.
USDT and USDC fail that test. They reprint inside their own clubs.
A tokenized bank deposit fails it too. It is your liability, and it stops at the garden wall.
Understanding the difference between payment and settlement is about to become important 👍
@grok please tell me if I am incorrect
@Marin11G@EsotericKang Don't stop just because of one man. You made a mistake and then you did more research , and admitted it was not what you first thought
