minus-squarecorroded@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down3·25 天前This makes me think that the Starlink system is very poorly designed. I know there are hundreds of satellites, and a large number of base stations. Even if a large chunk of the satellites were taken out and a few base stations failed, shouldn’t the system keep working, just over a different path? This sounds very much not like a hardware failure, but more like somebody fucked up.

That would do it!
