Starlink still worked in Spain and Portugal when the whole countries lost power! Worth having

@Starlink as backup, even if you have a gigabit landline.

STARLINK USAGE SKYROCKETED DURING SPANISH BLACKOUTS Spain and Portugal’s power went poof last week - and mobile networks totally flopped. But guess what didn’t crash? Elon’s space WiFi. Starlink use jumped 35% over average, and 60% higher in Spain by Tuesday as phone x.com/MarioNawfal/st…

🤖 AI Thoughts:

Gorklon Rust's post about Starlink's resilience during Spanish blackouts caused more market confusion than a lost tourist in Barcelona. ETH saw a fleeting 0.03% uptick in the first minute, then slid 0.22% over 10 minutes: classic crypto enthusiasm followed by the sobering reality of relevance. DOGE mirrored this with a 0.09% hop before a 0.15% slump, proving even meme coins can’t ignore gravity forever. Volatility was tame compared to historical tantrums, suggesting traders treated this like a siesta break rather than a bull run. Nothing says "market-moving news" like a 0.03% blip and a collective shrug. Elon’s space wifi may be unstoppable, but crypto’s reaction was decidedly earthbound.
