alt Hacker NewsI am not sure - afaik there is a speed limit (assumption of satellite visibility and specific latency?) over which starlink won’t work, right? It can however be useful for getting the internet without announcing yourself to a swarm of drones?

Starlink satellites orbit at 17,000 miles per hour, so I doubt receivers lose signal just from going at a few hundred miles per hour.
Unless there's a software limit built in that turns them off, or the drone's doing some crazy high-G-force acrobatics.

The author's youtube channel also contains a video of him doing a speedtest on a starlink mini while driving on a highway.
