Starlink has already cut access to front line Ukrainians before, forcing them to hold off on advancing due to lack of communication.

Starlink has benefitted immensely from the war, so it’s not a purely humanitarian desire to help Ukrainians. Free publicity and a guaranteed market share when only a handful of people ever even heard of Starlink is what they were after, IMO.

Just wait until we get the VenTech Prometheus Drug from their Speculative Engineering department

Good grief they’re like AI-generated hands

To add to what burndown said.

Before streaming services were the de facto place to watch movies and TV at home, cable companies would charge a monthly fee to provide live cable TV. TV shows aired weekly and if you miss an episode on Cable, unless you happened to set it to record, you can’t watch that episode until the network decides to air it again, hours or days later, what was known as a “rerun.”

Cable is a live broadcast sent from the cable provider, (think youtube livestreams that play family guy 24/7) streaming is an on-demand platform for content. So in Canada, if the only place to watch Game of Thrones legally is cable, that limits your viewing time, what episode you watch, and the order in which you watch the show/movies, greatly impacting the viewing experience.

So cable and streaming are separate, cable is more expensive and less enjoyable than streaming, but at the end of the day they’re two different methods of watching TV.
