Isn't the Starlink more expensive than fiber or cable? I also wonder how it could handle an EMP compared to wired/optical systems.

Starlink is probably more expensive, depending on your other options, but it is in the same ballpark. Old-school satellite and cell phone-based systems are bankruptcy inducing if used normally.
I doubt any of the major internet infrastructure would survive EMP situations very well, but I'd bet Starlink could get a replacement constellation up before Comcast drove around to every box and swapped a board.

I posted here before realizing the reply belonged in the SSD thread. The forum software doesn't allow deleting threads.
Some allow that if there are no subsequent posts, but it's probably not worth looking into.

How To Improve My Brain Storage?
I have recently started getting the feeling that there is a need for elected representatives of people, in nations that allow that in a fair way, to start paying closer attention to what is going on in this new world of digital money-making through the sale of such things like operating systems and related tech stuff, and the companies that seem to be providing "free" software/tools and such.
Interestingly, it has only been that last few years where one doesn't get lambasted for writing such like I placed into my first paragraph.
But I'll halt here and see if anyone wishes to discuss this further.

For anyone using a Microsoft 365 subscription, you've probably gotten an Email recently about a change to your subscription price. It's a pretty substantial change, US$30 for the 6 user family plan. Here's the thing: You don't have to buy the family plan. If you have no use for Copilot AI (and I would argue most people don't), it's still possible to get the old pricing, though you have to cancel your current plan to change back to the old one. Here's Microsoft's instructions for doing so. Thanks, guys.

Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC does not not require a Microsoft Account to use and it is free to download and "evaluate." This is the version of Windows you want to use for your VMs, although it comes with almost nothing installed. No Windows Store. Almost none of the accessories. But you probably aren't using the calculator or sound recorder in a VM anyway, and if you want to put Windows Terminal or something back, it's just a
On the other hand, it DOES require an Enterprise License agreement.
On the other other hand, turns out it activates just fine off the MassGrave.dev script.

You can also just do
to install the store. Takes a couple seconds and it's easier than the winget command to remember -- then again, I'm not sure if that winget installs the store or the Terminal you were talking about.
Code:

Winget is just winget but once it's installed, it mostly does the same things as chocolatey. Chocolatey is easier to use but it doesn't install Windows components, you you need to know about both.

I meant that particular winget command you put in, with the ID or whatever it is -- sorry, I actually haven't ever used winget.
