Just want a decent TV box... bit of a rant.

Amazon do a USB to ethernet adapter which will work with the various FireTV Devices but it's still only fast ethernet iirc. Probably because of the aforementioned USB 2.0 limitations. It makes a certain amount of sense if you think about it, these things use ARM SOCs which are essentially for mobile phones and other mobile devices. Things like that generally don't want and/or need ethernet ports so they're not built into the SOC like a wifi adapter would be. You therefore have to have to use an external chip and the only bus that's going to be available to attach it to is going to be USB, and most likely USB 2.0 at that as low cost SOCs probably aren't going to have USB3 -

@bald_pig is the closest so far. Care to guess which one?

It’s an American Bald Eagle! But aren’t they extinct? They are now.

IIRC PowerShell scripts in Intune are only run once, and even then they only run on bootup. Have you checked the logs in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs folder? That should also tell you whether the script has run, or if it has errored.

747s are still used across the world! Failing that, maybe an Airbus A380

Is it a Boeing 747? Sooner or later, it's a 747, right?

Not saying that Jack Reacher isn't a doll (The character isn't exactly deep) but if nothing else, he is very well described in the books by Lee Child. Body builder physique, 6'5" tall, approaching 40 in the first book. He's a man mountain in effect. In one book, he was so jacked he stopped a bullet with his pectoral muscles, albeit that did put him in a coma. With all of that in mind, "Tom Cruise" shouldn't be the first name that comes to mind when doing a casting for a film adaptation because he doesn't fit the bill for any of those criteria.

I vaguely remember it. Goo or something like that?

Sim City, maybe Sim City 2000

I'll have to admit, I don't have a clue. I've googled that zoom range and have found the device and I've not heard of it. I'll not post the answer here though.

I was under the impression that "Gaslighting" was the word of the year, then I looked it up and saw that it was the Merriam-Webster word of the year. Yeah, I think I'm going to go with our American cousins on this one.

Looks like something attached to a tripod, maybe? A GoPro or similar?

Is that one of the InstantOn switches?

Half Life 3 confirmed! -
That's not entirely unsurprising, but I'm willing to bet that it's still not 800-1500ms like it would be for a normal satellite connection. I think it's fair to say, though, that Starlink's market isn't someone who can already get DSL/Cable/FTTP or even cellular. Someone who gets Starlink is most likely going to be someone who can't get any of those, or at least can't get them reliably. Boring anecdote time: Until the Scottish government laid fibre where I live, Starlink would have been my best bet for a reasonably high bandwidth and relatively low latency connection. We're about 7 miles from the closest BT cabinet so FTTC wasn't viable as we're too far away for VDSL. ADSL was just about possible, but we only got an unreliable 1.5mbps connection from that. We're right on the edge of two of the major mobile network's coverage areas and not on the other twos at all so while we could get cellular broadband with an antenna the size of a toilet seat, it wasn't something we could use long term because it was flaky from being right on the edge. As already mentioned, there was a satellite connection here as well. This was installed by the previous tenant. The amount of bandwidth it provided was reasonable, but the latency was the aforementioned 800-1500ms. Can you imagine using VOIP on that, or even remote desktop? I don't need to, because I know what it's like and it ain't nice. Starlink would have been what I'm using right now, had fibre not been laid.
