I was assured, very recently, that none of them were worried about SpaceX
AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are jointly lobbying the FCC to preserve existing rules as @SpaceX moves closer to launching its own independent cellular network that would compete directly with the three major U.S. carriers.
On Oct 20th, reps from all three major U.S. wireless carriers met with FCC officials to push back against proposed changes that would give satellite companies more freedom to offer cellular service.
The carriers urged the FCC to:
• Block satellite companies from using certain 5G frequencies currently used by wireless carriers.
• Keep rules requiring satellite companies to get permission from wireless carriers before using their licensed spectrum.
• Allow wireless carriers to maintain control over these agreements, including the ability to end them.
• Reconsider proposed interference limits to protect existing cellular networks.
Based on all the public communications from these carriers, and the lobbying, they are clearly worried that SpaceX's @Starlink Mobile network is going to be a major competitor to them. Starlink Mobile will become the first network operator to deploy both satellite and terrestrial spectrum.
The FCC recently announced that they are considering new rules that could make it easier for satellite companies like SpaceX to offer cellular service without relying as heavily on existing wireless carriers, so this is partly what the three big carriers are fighting against.

Whelp, I thought the jailbreak scene had the most retarded people. Turns out the “anti” scene is more retarded… congrats I guess.
Gonna throw this out there… good on them. But it would have been cheaper to hire someone who knows what they’re doing when operating internationally, applying in time (rather than when you could be 100% sure it couldn’t be approved in time), or paying to expedite the process.
We have updated the details of reimbursement for trainers who had planned to attend 7th EVENT WORLD TOUR: THE STAGE in LOS ANGELES. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Miraculously it now costs Telesat the entire contract price to put their satellites into orbit
Starlink out. Telesat in. Musk learns a lesson. ✊
Canada chose its own $2.3B satellite network over a billionaire's tantrums. Carney's message: contracts aren't toys for mood swings. When a partner shows you who he is — believe him, then replace him. 🚨🔥

Andy Nguyen (@theflow0) presents at #TheSAS2026 on how he hacked the PS5 hypervisor (twice, with two amazing bugs!) and got Linux running on the console, with Steam games playable on it!!! 🤯
They did the “Show up to the airport 10 minutes before your flight” and didn’t get through security in time and are blaming security for policies that have been in place for decades. In this analogy they even had the opportunity to pay for/use TSA Pre-Check or Clear+ and didn’t.
It’s wild how many people don’t understand this… I use a credit card for everything. I get extra protection for everything I buy at no cost. I get cash back for everything I buy. I get extra coupons and discounts. I’ve paid $0 in interest. I’ve not manually paid the card once. It’s zero extra effort if you just use it like a debit card.
This is for the US only as I know credit card rewards and shit are different elsewhere but a credit card is nearly always a better option than a debit card as long as your not spending more than you make.
From reading all the comments across X about this subject right now it seems people literally don’t understand what people are saying when they say using a CC is free money… it’s free money when you pay it off in full every statement because you literally don’t pay interest… and then you get cash back… that cash back (and other benefits) is the free money, not the line of credit itself.
I’m literally never in debt or upside own on what I’ve spent that month… building credit can also let you leverage you money, safely, as well. Ex: I got CC offer recently that has 0% interest for 12 months, there is a $10k purchase I’m going to make in November. I have $10k in cash earmarked for the purchase… but no I’ll put it on that CC and make minimum payments and put that $10k and make 6% APR on that $10k while making minimum payments… that’s $340 in interest I make, paying 0% interest, and getting 2-3% cash back from the get go… Meaning I save ~$560 in a single purchase I was making anyway.
I used to get 99+ per week in Discord before just going permanently invisible. Now it’s only like 30 or so.
Replying with “I’m so petty I’m keeping track of who sends unsolicited texts and whoever has the most I’m voting for the opposite party” seems to have stopped all of the political spam. Three days and no more after getting three per day the last week.
