Starlink Update

I installed a Starlink "dishy" on my roof. It couldn't have been easier and it "just works". Kudos to Musk and his team. Dishy works great if you use it for applications that buffer, such as watching television or youtube. File downloads are MUCH faster than my landline link. But if you're playing something that doesn't buffer, like a game, then dropouts occur and are visible. They are rarely more than a few seconds. Perhaps we need an HTML extension that lets websites like HackerNews decorate the "next" button with the ability to pre-download the next page in the background.
