SpaceX has made the investments/innovation to better-serve the satellite internet market that already had players in it; HughesNet, Viasat, Iridium / Globalstar. Those were the price-gouging Oligopolist incumbents who Starlink is disrupting with a 10x better service for considerably cheaper.

Totally agree that SpaceX doubling the price from $10k/month to $20k looks really bad especially if they’re doing it to existing customers.

But the way I see this (as a non-private-jet-traveler) is: Starlink is doing a “Robin Hood” and making the Rich (who can all easily afford it) pay for the expansion of the service which will benefit all the rest of customers. And if the 0.01% decide to switch to an alternative supplier, that’s good for competition. So in a way it’s anti-monopolist. ;-)

It’s worse if they are squeezing people in underserved rural areas… our monthly has gone down from €35 to €29 and still getting the same speed.

The second SpaceX offers direct-to-cell in our area we will switch to their service as we’ve never had any issues with it whereas the incumbent mobile/broadband providers regularly throttle even when we’re paying top tier prices.

Totally agree there needs to be more competition and preferably not from other billionaires … but until then, Starlink is great!

For others who cannot live without Bluetooth on their main machine, consider a USB Bluetooth adapter. see: https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-5.1/ubt.4

The OP stated they couldn’t find any data to compare the relative security of Linux vs. OpenBSD.

CVEs are independently, objectively verifiable and provable data. This is the dictionary definition of a verified “fact”. It’s not anyone’s opinion. You don’t have to like it or me.

Love you all.

As a teen I had infinite time to compile Linux and debug stuff. Now I just want to spend time with family/outdoors and not be stuck in a windowless room negotiating with a black box. ;-P

Wireless Earbuds/Headphones are a legit use case. (Still use bluetooth with iPhone every day, sadly, still addicted to the convenience of AirPods ...)

But I've got decent wired headphones for my OpenBSD setup. bonus: never have to charge them. ;-)

Even more curious now: what do you use the Nintendo Switch controller for on your computer? Have you got it hooked up to play games on your PC? Or do you use it for robotics or other I/O?

The homepage of https://www.openbsd.org proudly states "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" if they didn't have the evidence to support the statement, the internet would have forced them to remove it by now. ;-)

Remote (exploitable) holes are the ones we all care about.

Compare the number of CVE vulnerability trends over time between Linux: https://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/33 and OpenBSD: https://www.cvedetails.com/vendor/97

It's not even close! It's nearly two orders of magnitude higher for Linux. This isn't anecdotal or “vague opinion” CVEs are facts.

You can ask the follow-up question: Why is that?

And there are many reasons. It could just be that Linux having more users/eyes means more bugs are surfaced ... But you need to dig deeper to understand why OpenBSD is so much more secure, the core team of OpenBSD proactively reviews the security of other OSes and when they learn something, they rapidly implement the feature/fix in OpenBSD.

Again, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features Many of the proactive security features OpenBSD has are not implemented by other OSes. And in the case of kernel-level Crypto, they won't ever be because US export restrictions.
