Tens of thousands knocked offline after software failure at Musk’s Starlink

 

[ChatGPT]

That’s a major disruption! A widespread Starlink outage impacting tens of thousands due to a software failure is no small incident. For a service as globally relied upon as Starlink, issues like this can have ripple effects for everything from rural internet access to emergency communications—even businesses operating in remote areas.
It will be interesting to see:

• How quickly SpaceX/Starlink rolls out a fix,
• What the root cause was (software bug, update gone wrong, or something else),
• And ultimately, what steps they’ll take to prevent this in the future.

If you’re interested, I can pull highlights or technical details from that Guardian article, or offer some analysis on redundancy strategies for satellite internet services. Just let me know!
