Think about it. For $400 monthly, you can have your own, fully mobile internet without having a government or other organization tracking, monitoring, or restricting what you research, share, or post.

If you work a remote job. You can now work from anywhere in the world with stable, high-speed internet.

Building a constellation of satellites like this is not easy or cheap. Still, at $400 monthly for this, it's a steal.

Well about the tracking... You will not like the answer.

Based on rumors and leaked benchmarks of Lunar Lake, I think x86 will quickly catch up with ARM on battery life AND efficiency and still be the better choice when it comes to software and driver compatibility and iGPU performance. the 680m and 780m kinda proved this. And I doubt AMD is just sitting on their hands with upcoming APUs like Strix Point so they should be going all in on getting new chips on TSMC's upcoming 2nm.

Seems like AI will be the new startup fad....

While it is good to see that MS is working on getting Windows Games on ARM IMHO:

- the <= 60 FPS comes from Console gaming, some titles are fine at 30FPS, others not so much
- WIN11 "bloatware", forgetting the "features" that turn themselves back on just peek at the size of the KERNEL!! Every version of WIN has a larger kernel footprint then the previous version.

"Stock" WIN has countless 'services' running that the end user may (and likely WON'T) have any need or use for. I generally expect & set aside 1-2hrs for every new WIN powered device to 'clean up' the OS.

Granted IDK what others are currently experiencing with their new PC's, there was a time in the not to distant past that it might of required ALL DAY to rid your new PC of ALL THE BLOATWARE the OEM had included on it.

My WINBoxes run in VERY sheltered environments. They only get powered up to run a program *I* need (only runs on WIN) and only get LAN/WAN access when I wish to install a new Steam Game.

Many of use want to simply USE our computers and NOT constantly FIGHT Microsoft over what is running (or NOT!) on it!
