Top flight engineering there.

Wonder how well it'll like snow

It'll probably be warm enough to melt it, but sealed poorly enough to leak into whatever electronics are built into the dish.

You pounce on the dumbest shit sometimes. He hasn't mounted it.

And apparently it gets hot as fuck, so it should be fine in the snow.

Just mount it to some cinder blocks. Problem solved.

Wanna see some real good engineering? Here's the pole mount for the V3 dish.

So let me get this straight: they sold a device that's meant to go outdoors, on a tripod which you'd expect be designed to hold the thing in place outdoors, and it blows over in *checks weather history* 35 mph wind gusts. But you're not actually supposed to use it because you need to mount it instead, so they're including the tripod in the box as a useless gift or something instead of providing, say, a fucking mount for it.

You're right, that is the dumbest shit.

Anyway, there's now 3 thin cinderblocks on the legs.

I was going to say you could also bolt it down but if that works cool. I mean it's pretty cool. I think viasat was offering internet too but they don't seem to advertise it. https://www.viasat.com/

35mph winds aren't trivial. It's a giant sail. You can probably do the math better than me.

I assume that's from geostationary sats, so enjoy the ping time measured in seconds.

Yah, and idk. I have an uncapped 5g hotlink that I don't pay for which is enough.

More thinking of falling snow obscuring the dish
But good call on water intrusion

Yeah just because it's an Elon musk company it has to suck

You're like the boy who cried wolf. There's some real fucked up shit, but you're like, "THE DISH FELL OVER IN 35MPH WIND OMG THE SKY IS FALLING WHAT AN IDIOT."

bro I fart harder than 35MPH winds.

Bro, everyone else here isn't surprised by it. Why you focusing on me? Cause  you gotta pounce on me anytime I mention Musk?

There's easier ways to get my attention, sweetie.

 

[Valve1138]

Yeah, just put on a better shade of lipstick and fix your guyliner @fly

You are too biased to be objective. It is a premium product and it wasn't secured. The Ukrainian army has been using them for two years in much worse conditions id wager.
