NEWS: SpaceX says a new @Starlink update means that the internet will keep working even if trees or other obstacles partially block your home’s view of the sky. "As a Starlink terminal communicates with satellites overhead, it continuously builds a real-time obstruction map, allowing Starlink to dynamically understand its environment. With this information, it can proactively select the best and most stable connection. For dynamic obstructions, such as are encountered by mobile terminals, the system reactively switches in less than 1/10th of a second, allowing a connection to remain stable. The dynamic nature of Starlink combined with the many paths for the system to route traffic provide a high degree of resiliency in obstructed and changing environments. Additionally, to help customers get the most out of their service, the Starlink app includes a built-in tool to preview the install location and guide customers to the best placement with the fewest obstructions. After setup, the Starlink app provides a live obstruction map that shows exactly where signal blockages are occurring and how they may affect your experience, so that users can make informed decisions about optimizing their installation. Starlink also measures uptime 10 times a second from every terminal, transparently reporting any outage that is longer than 1/10th of a second in the app. For well-installed, even partially obstructed terminals, this uptime is typically at the 99.9% level."

BREAKING: Tesla’s ride-hailing service is officially live in the Bay Area in their Robotaxi app! It covers a large area from north of the Golden Gate Bridge all the way south of San Jose. It would take about 1-2 hours (up to 75 miles) depending on traffic to ride from the top to the bottom of the geofence area

What matters is solving the limiting factor

Hey @elonmusk , this video was created for the “Brick of Belief” gifting at @theXTakeover, intentionally kept short due to time constraints. But truth is, so many more wanted to say thank you in their own voices. For now, here’s just a glimpse of the love. 🫶 If you’d like to share how Elon has impacted your life, drop a message in the comments below.👇
