After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship - Lemmy.World

That seems like a significant security risk

Probably not for the reason you think.

Like, it wouldn’t be patched into anything official

But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I’m pretty sure that’s why Ukraine’s military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.

It wouldn’t be… Until it is.

No it just wouldn’t.

Like, are you imagining a modern US warship doesn’t have internet 24/7?

This was for porn and maybe streaming services and social media, but mostly porn.

It wasn’t for any official use, because they have that covered.

You’re acting like surface ships are submarines…

Like, are you imagining a modern US warship doesn’t have internet 24/7?

last I checked, no, they don’t. they had shitty service while in port, and not much else.

fuck mate they only recently started giving their people access ON SHORE.

so no, I don’t think for the average sailor a US warship provides internet access 24/7

Coming soon: Better Wi-Fi for sailors

A pilot program will inform how the Navy goes about expanding Wi-Fi access to the entire fleet.

That article is about wifi for personal use…

And the second one is about it being free and you’re acting like they didn’t have Internet before then?

so no, I don’t think for the average sailor a US warship provides internet access 24/7

Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about about.

Are you ever not a dickhead?
