This is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen here.
They’re a US company, and the US military uses Starlink for some applications. They’d fuck you up very quickly.

The government of whatever country owns those satellites would have an issue with that, regardless of what the law says.
If you did it to satellites belonging to a US company, providing a service used by the US military…
Let’s just say they can deliver explosives to any point on the globe in 30 minutes.
Given that someone owns those satellites, yes.
Outer space is under maritime law, oddly enough.
GPS works under tree cover, I doubt some spread out space junk is much of a problem.
On the Kessler point, Starlink birds fly at an altitude where they will deorbit in 4-8 years if they go dead, so that particular orbit will always be fairly clean, and if a Kessler event does happen, the debris will deorbit in a reasonable length of time.
It’s never been cheaper or easier to launch, ironically enough thanks in part to Starlink.
They’ve done pagers, radios, and cellphones.
Drones that flap like a bird exist, one being used as a suicide drone wouldn’t surprise me at all.
My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.
Definitely there has to be a good reason for it.
This predates the NSA, but they blew up a Russian pipeline with modified software.
It seems to be when they reach the end of their “growth” phase, and start trying to get the most revenue out of their current customer base.
At least until recently, all those companies made a good product.
I suspect that’s not far off from what Israel did, from my understanding they modified a device’s at a production level, it sounds like they essentially redesigned the pager.
It will be interesting to see how they did it with the radios.
Is anyone even remotely surprised by this?
I imagine being at war with Israel will induce paranoia from here out.
He was probably meeting with someone who had one, being an ambassador and all.
Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.
Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.
From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it’s way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.
I’d argue a for profit company is probably more likely to understand what their customers want, given their goal is to make as much money as possible.
Their target market is people who don’t have a better option, not people who already have fibre to the door.
