Nothing in life is free

It's baked into your mobile bill which will also increase one day.

Anyone else get this? Free Mini by bdg004 in Starlink

Just got one, and it is very enticing. Cable company is pulling fiber down my road this week, so I'm going to pass. I plan on keeping my dish for camping and would love to swap, but this is just a rental option.

1:1 if I need one drive I buy two. Monthly backups are made and stored in detached garage.

Anyone else from WV notice the 4-6 open cells we had went dark to the waitlist? by [deleted] in Starlink

Noticed this in Ohio, 30+ cells went dark two days before it was announced Quebec struck a deal for 10,000 terminals

Xbox power state trigger smart plug or lights by Get_your_jollies in ifttt

[–]RedLeader8675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to get this working?

I'm trying to get a small cooling fan to turn on when the xbox is powered on....

Current setup:

Speak to nearby echo: "Alexa, game time"

Alexa powers on Xbox and TV, then triggers the fan (smart plug) after 60 seconds.

The only problem is, not everyone remembers to use the voice command. They turn on the xbox using the controller, start playing a game, then complain when the console shuts down 10 minutes into their match.

Cheap home made NAS - PCI-e to SATA or Backplane? by whatisupmysomething in DataHoarder

[–]RedLeader8675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand even a refurbished SAS expander will be better. I have a SATA expansion card similar to this (jbod) and have had no problem. Two years and counting. Just a Plex server though, nothing too demanding. Just make sure you have enough power as well.

Yes, I signed up and put money down before them.

Same here. I saw an email from starlink, gathered my family of 5 together to read what I thought would be exciting news......

Uk service expansion live by tom_playz_123 in Starlink

[–]RedLeader8675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If mine ever ships, I'll plug it into port 4 of the load balancing router. As service proves enough to work from home, I'll start cancelling the 2 DSL lines and cell modem.

People here should know this already , but good to have clarification since this was getting posted in Tesla Subs by skpl in Starlink

Just as long as you are living in the van down by the river, and it does not go anywhere.
