Why would starlink be impervious?
Because the outage will be manufactured by those who control the ground networks, but they can't shut down the satellites.
Well, Starlink still relies on ground stations for routing the traffic. The internet is still land based. Starlink is just like a wifi mesh. You could probably still be able to communicate with other Starlink users in theory.
No you use a phased array antenna. You completely bypass ISPs as the traffic is beamed directly to you.
Yes, but it's still like a wifi mesh and all the sattelites are connected to the internet via a global array of land stations as far as I know. Traffic between 2 Starlink users on opposite sides of the world doesn't hop over 100 sattelites, it is routed to the nearest land station, travels on line to the station nearest to the other user, is beamed to the sattelite and down to the user. But I'm not sure if that's the way it still works, haven't looked into it since before they started rolling it out.
Unless there is an actual solar storm, right? I'm still confused on this - what makes Starlink even viable as a backup, as Musk suggested, in the case of dangerous solar winds?
Like, I get the implication that NASA is providing cover for a false flag, but the sun remains a very real threat to modern stability. Is Starlink actually a viable backup in the case of a real solar emergency, or not?
"Watch CA."
CA = Certificate Authorities.
"Multiple meanings exist."
CA also = {Canada, California, ...}
It won’t. I was going to buy one anyway for our RV. But I’ve always thought that StarLink users may be the first ones to get service in a outage, with Internet 2.0, whatever that looks like? Martin Geddes was working on it at one point…
Web 2.0 was the early 2000s...
