• 7 Years For This "Tourist"

    From kmiller@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 28 18:50:03 2022
    A Tennessee man who dragged a police officer into a mob of rioters,
    initiating one of the most harrowing acts of violence during the U.S.
    Capitol attack, was sentenced on Thursday to more than seven years in
    prison.

    Albuquerque Cosper Head declined to address the court before U.S.
    District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to seven years and six
    months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release.
    The judge said Head was responsible for “some of the darkest acts
    committed on one of our nation’s darkest days.”

    Head’s prison sentence is six months shy of the statutory maximum in his case. It’s also the second-longest so far among hundreds of cases
    arising from the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump
    supporters stormed the building as Congress prepared to certify
    President Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

    “The dark shadow of tyranny unfortunately has not gone away,” Jackson
    said. “There are people who are still disseminating the lie that the
    election was stolen. They’re doing it today. And the people who are
    stoking that anger for their own selfish purposes, they need to think
    about the havoc they’ve wreaked, the lives they’ve ruined.”

    Head engaged in some of the most barbaric violence during the Capitol
    riot, repeatedly assaulting police officers who were guarding a tunnel
    on the Lower West Terrace, according to prosecutors.

    That may not last:

    It looks like SpaceX is preparing to impose high-speed data caps for
    Starlink users in the US, possibly to address congestion woes facing the satellite internet service.

    The company quietly added a section to the Starlink terms of
    service(Opens in a new window) that discusses potentially slowing down
    internet speeds for subscribers once they exceed a monthly limit, which
    was noticed by(Opens in a new window) a user on Reddit.

    According to the new policy, residential Starlink users will receive a “monthly allocation of ‘Priority Access,’" with fast internet speeds.
    But once they exceed an unspecified limit, speeds could be reduced if
    the surrounding area is already full of other data-hungry Starlink
    subscribers.

    “Under such plan, after you have used your monthly limit of Priority
    Access data, you will continue to have an unlimited amount of ‘Basic
    Data’ for the remainder of your billing cycle,” the company says. “With ‘Basic Data’ your access will no longer be prioritized over traffic generated by other customers during periods of network congestion.”

    Speeds for the Basic Data plan could get slow enough that the policy
    warns: "In times of network congestion, users with Basic Access may
    experience slower speeds and reduced performance compared to Priority
    Access, which may result in degradation or unavailability of certain third-party services or applications."

    Since it's an unspecified limit, maybe I can self-specify my limit.

    Maybe it won't affect me too much. Since March, I'm averaging 47
    gigs/month, with a high of 62 back in May. And you left this part out (probably in a pathetic and vindictive attempt to increase my average
    angst):
    "Your usage between 11PM and 7AM will not count toward Priority Access
    data limits."

    If literally necessary, I can make minor alterations to my usual usage
    times to reschedule heavy use to after 11PM. I'm usually up until
    4-5AM anyway.......
    ...........
    ....................oh wait. I just poked around and found this: ---------------------------------------
    The fair use policy stipulates that all users will continue to have
    unlimited data, with priority given to users consuming 250GB data or
    less, the report said, citing an email sent to French customers of
    Starlink. Those whose data usage exceeds 250GB/month may experience
    slower speeds during periods of network congestion. --------------------------------------
    Unless that just applies to France, this discussion just became
    irrelevant for me. Even if I stayed up for 22 hours out of every 24, I
    don't think I could figure out a way to efficaciously use 250 gigs/month.

    You might want to get the chainsaw out. He's gotta pay for Tweetster somehow.

    I don't know exactly how Starlink works, but I speculate that
    throttling me will not include reducing the number of sats that I can
    use. If that's the case, throttling me won't have anything to do with
    my obstructionist trees. With all those additional sats up there - and
    with more coming - I'm down to about 30 sec of obstruction in a
    12-hour period. Besides, my wife likes the longleaf pines, and if I
    cut anymore down, she'll be the one doing the throttling.

    down internet speeds for subscribers once they exceed a monthly
    limit, which was noticed by(Opens in a new window) a user on Reddit.

    According to the new policy, residential Starlink users will receive
    a “monthly allocation of ‘Priority Access,’" with
    fast internet speeds. But once they exceed an unspecified limit,
    speeds could be reduced if the surrounding area is already full of
    other data-hungry Starlink subscribers.

    Since it's an unspecified limit, maybe I can self-specify my limit.

    “Under such plan, after you have used your monthly limit of >> Priority Access data, you will continue to have an unlimited amount
    of ‘Basic Data’ for the remainder of your billing
    cycle,” the company says. “With ‘Basic
    Data’ your access will no longer be prioritized over traffic
    generated by other customers during periods of network
    congestion.”

    Speeds for the Basic Data plan could get slow enough that the policy
    warns: "In times of network congestion, users with Basic Access may
    experience slower speeds and reduced performance compared to
    Priority Access, which may result in degradation or unavailability
    of certain third-party services or applications."

    Maybe it won't affect me too much. Since March, I'm averaging 47
    gigs/month, with a high of 62 back in May. And you left this part out (probably in a pathetic and vindictive attempt to increase my average angst):
    "Your usage between 11PM and 7AM will not count toward Priority Access
    data limits."

    If literally necessary, I can make minor alterations to my usual usage
    times to reschedule heavy use to after 11PM. I'm usually up until
    4-5AM anyway.......
    ...........
    ....................oh wait. I just poked around and found this: ---------------------------------------
    The fair use policy stipulates that all users will continue to have unlimited data, with priority given to users consuming 250GB data or
    less, the report said, citing an email sent to French customers of
    Starlink. Those whose data usage exceeds 250GB/month may experience
    slower speeds during periods of network congestion. --------------------------------------
    Unless that just applies to France, this discussion just became
    irrelevant for me. Even if I stayed up for 22 hours out of every 24, I
    don't think I could figure out a way to efficaciously use 250 gigs/month.

    somehow.

    I don't know exactly how Starlink works, but I speculate that
    throttling me will not include reducing the number of sats that I can
    use. If that's the case, throttling me won't have anything to do with
    my obstructionist trees. With all those additional sats up there - and
    with more coming - I'm down to about 30 sec of obstruction in a
    12-hour period. Besides, my wife likes the longleaf pines, and if I
    cut anymore down, she'll be the one doing the throttling.

    To ensure our customer base is not negatively impacted by a small
    number of users consuming unusually high amounts of data, the Starlink
    team is implementing a Fair Use policy in the US and Canada in
    December 2022.

    Based on your data usage over the last six months, this policy will
    have no impact on your service if your usage patterns stay the same.

    Under the Fair Use policy, all Residential customers will receive
    unlimited data, and will start each month with Priority Access, which
    means their data usage will be prioritized during times of network
    congestion.

    Customers who exceed 1 TB of data use on a monthly basis (currently <
    10% of users) will automatically be switched to Basic Access for the
    remainder of the billing cycle, which means their data usage will be deprioritized during times of network congestion, resulting in slower
    speeds.

    Data used between 11pm - 7am will not count towards your Priority Access.

    Starting today, you can now monitor your data usage on your account
    page. Read more in Starlink’s Fair Use policy and in the Terms of Service.

    Thank you for being an early customer and for your continued support
    of Starlink!

    more than seven years in prison.

    Albuquerque Cosper Head declined to address the court before
    U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him to seven
    years and six months of imprisonment followed by three years of
    supervised release. The judge said Head was responsible for
    “some of the darkest acts

    Head’s prison sentence is
    six months shy of the statutory maximum in his case.
    It’s also the
    second-longest so far among hundreds of cases arising from the
    Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters
    stormed the building as Congress prepared to certify President
    Joe Biden’s electoral victory.

    “The dark shadow of tyranny

    today. And the people who are stoking that anger for their own

    Head engaged in some of the most barbaric violence during the
    Capitol riot, repeatedly assaulting police officers who were
    guarding a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace, according to
    prosecutors.

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    To ensure our customer base is not negatively impacted by a small
    number of users consuming unusually high amounts of data, the Starlink
    team is implementing a Fair Use policy in the US and Canada in
    December 2022.

    Based on your data usage over the last six months, this policy will
    have no impact on your service if your usage patterns stay the same.

    Under the Fair Use policy, all Residential customers will receive
    unlimited data, and will start each month with Priority Access, which
    means their data usage will be prioritized during times of network
    congestion.

    Customers who exceed 1 TB of data use on a monthly basis (currently <
    10% of users) will automatically be switched to Basic Access for the
    remainder of the billing cycle, which means their data usage will be
    deprioritized during times of network congestion, resulting in slower
    speeds.

    Data used between 11pm - 7am will not count towards your Priority Access. >>>
    Starting today, you can now monitor your data usage on your account
    page. Read more in Starlink’s Fair Use policy and in the Terms of
    Service.

    Thank you for being an early customer and for your continued support
    of Starlink!
