The revolutionary aspect is the quantity of the satellites and the affordability of access due to reduction in deployment costs.

There are certainly more secure options but better is unlikely given how revolutionary starlink is.

The transparency of Topics is at least an improvement. Previously you would be targeted - or rather discriminated - by highly questionable traits.

Hopefully with this move regulators will finally step in to outlaw the previous behaviour. That would be a minimal step in the right direction.

As someone who read a lot as a child I still find myself saying hyperbowl. I'd certainly heard the correct pronunciation but it wasn't until very late that I made the connection to the word I'd learned by reading.

I used to see this a lot with Facebook. Every time they altered the design people would kick up a fuss and I never understood why, the new design always looked far better.

Nowadays of course I don't use Facebook but will occasionally have to sign in to look up the details of a business or something. The design has of course changed and I can't find a damn thing on it. So I'm finally on board with the masses.

But they aren't getting forced to change accounts. Their service continues just under another provider.

It'd be interesting to know how one way streets are counted

People who use the default email their ISP gives them don't like change. The new service will probably have a different login screen and that's going to upset aunty Ethel and uncle ron. And then a different colour background. It's the worst thing that anyone could ever do to them

I also found that an odd question.

"you ordered a two pack of Durex extra small and a packet of malteasers. Would you recommend them to a friend? "

No. Because who the hell recommends stuff..? Unless it's something truly unique im not going to recommend it

Star rating systems don't accurately convey opinions. The majority of reviews will be either 5* or 1* with only a few wannabe critics voting in between applying their own arbitrary votes.

If Amazon are going to change things then why not adopt something more meaningful. Simple up/down votes for things that actually matter.

Was this product as described: 👍/👎

Are you satisfied with the quality: 👍/👎

Are you satisfied with the value for money: 👍/👎

Then a few optional questions for things that aren't relevant to the product such as postage/packaging etc.

I will never comprehend how americans accept that store and restaurant prices aren't the price you'll pay
