January 4, 20224 yr It was a cold winters night and our lovely felines were feeling a bit chilly. "I know," said Tabby the cat, "lets curl up on Elon's StarLink satellite dishes!" Quote On New Year’s Eve, a Starlink user shared a cute photograph of five cats on a Starlink dish antenna. –“Starlink works great until the cats find out that the dish gives off a little heat on cold days,” they Tweeted. SpaceX deployed ‘Snow Melt Mode’ to the Starlink user antenna in 2020, the feature enables the dish to detect the temperature and it “produces additional heat to mitigate signal attenuation caused by snow build-up on the face of the user terminal,” a company representative said. Starlink users have shared via social media that the dish antenna does a great job at melting snow and, apparently, also at keeping cats warm! https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/starlink-cats Edited January 4, 20224 yr by martin-w

January 4, 20224 yr Author I'm getting StarLink for my cat. Some say, that when cats curl up on top of a StarLink dish, its doesn't just keep them warm, it also enables them to get YouTube cat video's directly into their superior feline brains.
