In on starlink because it’s now the only half decent option. There is a fairly strong 4g tower reception but it’s underprovisioned and gives less than 3mbps downloads. 25 up though. We did have ADSL for a long time but they’ve shut that network down.
I’m on a farm 15km from town in hilly terrain.
Some google searches have led me there, but that’s it.

Hmm. How will I hack my Windows XP to activate it if I can’t search for Windows Genuine Advantage?
Or playing cards against the tyres?
I think nicotine does something to people’s brains, rendering them unable to consider consequences.
Nfc antennas get in the way.
4·2 years agoI don’t care about that. What’s worse for me is that the Dyson ones are so damn loud. It’s a pain having to hold one arm over your head in the stall to cover both ears.
I’m seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.
Up next: An AI-enabled Web Browser extension which
- mutes the YouTube ads and overlays it with cute cat videos
- clicks the “skip” button for you
And I just think of cookware.

Maybe it’s just cached with that title on kbin, where I’m seeing it.
Your post has an incorrect title.
2·2 years agoReminds me of this track. The visuals are kinda similar.

RIP.
2·2 years agoI disagree on the efficacy of evaporative coolers. When I lived in Bourke, they were excellent. Typically roof mounted models such as these. Very low power usage for whole house cooling, but the massive caveat is they don’t work well in humid places.
A simple portable one like the Convair Classic will only really help whoever’s near it, but at under 80 watts of power it’ll run off even the cheapest inverter and car battery in an emergency.
Solar panels make the cost of using a split system practically nothing during daylight hours, with little net additional heat created in the process.
It might still be less environmentally damaging that running fibre to every starlink customer. That’s a lot of manufacturing and digging.
