image for Starlink dishes go into “thermal shutdown” once they hit 122° Fahrenheit

When the user's Internet service was disrupted, the Starlink app provided an error message saying, "Offline: Thermal shutdown."

The overheating started that day about 11:30 am and came back for good about 7 pm...

Martin uses the ground behind his house to set up his dish because it is the only spot with no obstructions.

Officially, SpaceX has said that "Dishy McFlatface" is certified to operate from 22° below zero up to 104° Fahrenheit.

Like Martin, other Starlink users may have to find creative ways to keep their dishes cool as the summer months arrive. »

(CNN) The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday halted executions in the state until procedures for its newest method of execution -- firing squad -- are finalized.

Under the new law signed last month by Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, inmates must now choose either electrocution or firing squad as their methods of execution. »
