For the dishes: I don't know the details of the 2 systems, but is there no way to retrofit the Starlink dishes to use Eutelsat's constellation? I mean if we exclude the legal IP mess for reverse-engineering the electronics and software.

Yes, but:
This is a bit weird, they got a multi million contract recently. The stock is way undervalued
Oh look, it's on sale!
Increased by 3.9X.
We all know why CNBC. You could have just posted the title.
Because the drug addled used car salesman who's currently about to default on his Twitter loans decided to embrace his roots and started throwing up seig heils and is currently having a crack team of 4chan incels dismantle a government while he threatens the world and works to make what he's doing here happen everywhere.
Dude is a comic book villain. Villain of the week level. No real staying power. Either he'll go broke or die from a ketamine overdose before Xmas. And what a gift that will be. I hope it happens on video.
die from a ketamine overdose
Please stop, I'm old and I can only get so excited.
I'd prefer full on mental breakdown while giving us his 1 bullet point live on TV, just follow Adolfo's guide all the way to the end
Ah, pulling a Budd Dwyer, except be actually guilty.
Don't forget the HCN. Just to be sure you know.
This is why I will never be rich. I never see business opportunities to buy tons of stock and act upon them.
See you just need to have inside information. There's absolutely no way these rich assfucks aren't trading on insider info.
You also need a ton of money to invest or you're just getting pocket change.
Pocket change is better than no change.
I have nothing against people investing, it's just not accurate to think the average person can invest and get somewhere with it, back in the 70s or earlier Warren Buffett said you needed to have around $300,000 invested to make any kind of reasonable gain, adjusting for inflation $300k in 1970 dollars is $2.5 million. When you're below that threshold your not really getting returns you can do something with. It's fine to invest less, it's fine to invest aggressively even if you are poor, just don't look at people with less than $2.5mil like their dumb for not investing more. It doesn't work that way.
Commission fees are less than a buck. The rules don't change just because you have little money.
No, the problem is that 20% growth of $2000 gives you a gain of $400. 20% growth of $10,000 gives you a gain of $2000. An average Americans entire yearly income is $70,000, it's 20% growth is $14,000.
Edit: this is all in terms of a full year of investing.
But 20% isn't happening every year, you are more likely to average 10%. Some years can be single digit, some can be negative, the point is this, you must begin with a very large amount of money to get real money out of the stock market. Even solidly middle class incomes aren't going to be able to save up a years worth pay in only a few years, it would take many years, often enough to ensure the money will never be realized by anyone but by your children or grand children
Even if I would see them I probably wouldn't have enough money to benefit of of them
invest in community run broadband instead
Yes, but the surge is for Ukraine and Europe is gearing up to defend itself. It’s easier for Ruzzia to take out community broadband than it is satellites in orbit around earth.
And it's harder to do both at once.
