Starlink has changed how many access the internet, whether living in rural areas or traveling full-time in a van or camper . Even more, it comes with many features to assist with disadvantages you may find. For example, there are no contracts associated with the product, so if you're not going to be home for a month, you can easily turn the service off, which saves you money. There is also a feature called heating which works great for wintery situations you may find yourself. In the Starlink app, under Settings then Starlink, you'll see Snow Melt — you have to be connected to Starlink to see beyond the router and dish menu. This heating feature has three options — automatic, which turns on if the device detects snow; preheat, which will keep Starlink warm to resist snow built-up; and off, which completely deactivates the snow melt mode. It is entirely up to you which mode to keep snow melt under. Personally, I have the Starlink Standard Actuated, which is the older version of the current Starlink Standard kit, and I use it on the Roam plan as an off-grid tech essential when I'm traveling in my camper. I've seen snow melt in action and can give you a bit of insight, regarding how well the heating feature works and whether it's worth having on in the first place. According to its website, Starlink is designed to work in all types of weather — though, it can't handle extreme forces of nature like hurricanes, tornadoes, meteors, and dinosaurs (the site really says that). When it comes to heating the dish, at the first signs of obstructions due to snow, the heating pad will start to work and melt off snow as quickly as it can. However, be aware that in times of extreme cold or heat, you may experience a bit of lagging. Starlink can handle anywhere between -22 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. YouTube channel Riverside Homestead Life gives a clear indication of how well Starlink's heating element works. In his video, he walks out to his grounded Starlink hiding in a bank of fresh snow, but there is space around the dish where the snow had continuously melted. Furthermore, there is no snow on top of the Starlink pad due to the snow melt feature. I will mention that the video does not show any ice hanging off structures and the snow looks powdery, which indicates fluffy snow, which is easier to deal with than wet snow. To back that up with my own experience, the heating element worked quickly and automatically turned off when the snow had melted. However, during freezing rain, it was more difficult to work with. Ice likes to cling to the dish, and sometimes the heating feature won't register because it can still pick up satellites through the ice — though, the service can lag because of it. This is a good time to use the preheat mode if your power source can handle it. The most viable reason most people turn off snow melt is because of energy consumption. Starlink itself can use up quite a bit of power. If we're looking at the Starlink Standard specifications, it uses an average of 75 to 100 watts an hour. The Starlink Standard Actuated version uses between 50 and 75 watts. That said, Starlink's website does not indicate how many watts extra is needed for the heating feature — however, users have shared their experiences with it. One user on Reddit showed a screenshot of the power consumption before and while using the heating component. It indicated a nearly 40 to 50 watt increase, which is no surprise considering how much power is needed for heated gadgets. Another user stated that a Starlink representative told them that it uses about 165 watts altogether to melt approximately three inches of snow. In all honesty, though, an extra 50 watts for the feature isn't too bad of a tradeoff for fast internet. While off-road camping out in a Colorado snowstorm, I noticed a spike in the average wattage usage for that day if I had to use snow melt mode. Afterward, wattage usage returned to normal, and I never saw a need to turn off the feature completely, especially since I was working with over 3,500 watts of battery, and I turned off Starlink at night. However, if your Starlink is attached to a smaller power source, like the Jackery Explorer 1500 , or you are simply energy-conscious, you can turn off the heating mode to have full control of your drawing power.MARKET REPORT: Investment trust bosses must go, says hedge fund
Australian PM ready to 'engage' with Musk on social media teen banManmohan Singh , the former Prime Minister whose lasting legacy would be seen by many as the economic liberalisation of 1991, will perhaps be remembered as much for his perseverance in bringing about the nuclear deal with the US. The deal came through in 2008 -- with Manmohan Singh steering it through 39 months amid initial disapproval from some in the Congress, including Sonia Gandhi, and later the strong Opposition from the Left Front, which pulled support from the government. Two years later, speaking on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Toronto (Canada), then US President Barrack Obama praised Dr. Singh. "I can tell you that here at G20, when the Prime Minister speaks, people listen," President Obama had said. The deal he stood by ended the era of sanctions placed on India after the Pokhran 2 nuclear tests of 1998 with partial sanctions by IAEA that covered only the civil nuclear facilities. It also steered the country away from the Nehruvian policy of non-alignment, placed it front and centre of the international community and secured it a place at the nuclear club high table. The situation also brought out an unexpected political savvy that many did not expect from the former Prime Minister. When the government, and the deal, were under threat, he secured the outside support of Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party to save both. Manmohan Singh died in Delhi this evening. He was 92. In his condolence message, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders. "India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders, Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. Rising from humble origins, he rose to become a respected economist. He served in various government positions as well, including as Finance Minister, leaving a strong imprint on our economic policy over the years. His interventions in Parliament were also insightful. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people's lives," read his post on X. Track Latest News Live on NDTV.com and get news updates from India and around the worldNone

Laurie Essig started receiving texts this year asking whether she was the gender studies professor at Middlebury College. When she responded that she was and then asked who was sending the messages, the replies startled her. “They were texting me to tell me that although men had temporarily lost the sex war, they were going to win it,” she said. Professor Laura Essig, of Middlebury College, received a couple messages a week from young men, some of whom blasted her views on gender, sexuality and feminism. Essig’s cellphone had been doxed on Reddit following comments she made to the New York Times about men struggling and falling behind in college. The unwelcome texts were just one of a growing number of misogynistic incidents on campuses at a time when more college men are embracing the Republican Party and its brand of masculinity. Over the next few months, Essig received a couple messages a week from young men, some of whom blasted her views on gender, sexuality and feminism. Others showed genuine curiosity about her comments. “They didn't call me names and it wasn’t the worst trolling in my life,” noted Essig, who formerly taught gender studies in Russia. “I think they were kind of young and lost and sad.” BETRAYAL AND FEAR The spike in sexist behavior on college campuses surfaced during a heated presidential campaign in which gender took centerstage. President-elect Donald Trump often came under fire for wielding sexist insults against Vice President Kamala Harris and courting misogynistic speakers at his rallies. At a Madison Square Garden rally in October, one speaker compared Harris to a prostitute, declaring she “and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.” In Greensboro, North Carolina, after a rally attendee yelled that Harris “worked on the corner,” Trump laughed and said, “This place is amazing.” Harris and other Democratic candidates also used gender to paint Republicans as anti-woman and present a bleak future for reproductive rights and other women’s issues if Trump won a second term. Essig noted at Middlebury College, following the Harris’ election loss, comments such as “your body, my choice” and “shouldn’t you be getting fitted for your Handmaid’s outfit?” appeared on the social media site Yik Yak, which allows students to make anonymous posts only viewable by others at the college. The Vermont school wasn’t alone. The day after the election, the terms “your body, my choice” and “get back in the kitchen” saw a 4,600% spike on X, according to a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. One parent said her daughter was told three separate times on campus “your body, my choice,” and another group of boys told her to “sleep with one eye open tonight,” according to the study. At the University of New Mexico, a Reddit user reported women were being harassed by gangs of men in MAGA gear telling them to “go home where they belong.” In another incident at Texas State University, two men not affiliated with the college were escorted from campus for holding signs that said “Women Are Property” and “Homo Sex Is Sin.” Witnessing the surge in misogynistic behavior and reading sexist comments online have left some young women feeling disillusioned and alone, according to Rebecca Ewert, a Northwestern University sociologist who teaches a class on masculinity. “There’s kind of this feeling of betrayal,” she said. “They’re expressing fear, anger and feeling alienated from people they consider to be close, people from home or even friends on campus.” POLITICS TURNS MASCULINE Sylvia Slotkin, a Northwestern sophomore and Democrat studying journalism, said she experienced those feelings after the election. One conservative male friend mockingly told her “Sorry, Trump won” as a way to insult her. Sylvia Slotkin, a Northwestern sophomore and Democrat studying journalism, said she experienced those feelings after the election. “Others were posting like, ‘Boohoo, the liberals are crying’ and just being so tasteless,” she said. “When people think of toxic masculinity, they think of bottling up emotions, so they’re making fun of these people crying because their candidate lost. That was definitely jarring.” That kind of condescending behavior from men is becoming more mainstream at her campus, Slotkin explained, and the culprit can be found in the kinds of social media that college men consume. Slotkin pointed specifically to Joe Rogan, a hugely popular podcaster with millions of listeners, and social-media personality Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports media. Both appeal to a bro-culture, male-centric sensibility sometimes associated with college Greek life. During his campaign, Trump courted those influencers, giving interviews that ranged from discussions about policy to speculation about the existence of UFOs. Others asked Trump whether he’d ever been in a fist fight. Boosting his appeal to young men, Trump attended testosterone-fueled events such as Ultimate Fighting Championship competitions. He was introduced to the Republican National Convention by Dana White, head of the UFC. Hulk Hogan attended and tore off his shirt. Such campaign strategies tap into a growing male perception of politics as an expression of masculinity. The Survey Center on American Life found in 2022 that 54% of Republicans described themselves as “very masculine,” compared to 33% of Democrats.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) In 2022, nearly 40% of college men identified as Republican compared to just 21% who considered themselves Democrat, according to College Pulse's Future of Politics survey that included interviews with over 1,500 undergraduate students. Men in the 18-29 age range, in particular, say it’s personally important that others perceive them as masculine or manly. Nearly half reported feeling that way and also reported they believe American society has become “too soft and feminine,” according to the Survey Center. The fallout of those views was clear after the election. About 56% of young men voted for Trump. The number was even higher, 63%, among young white men. Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center, believes the survey findings are tied into Republicans’ attempts to reassert aggressive, unapologetic and dominant politics — the kind of masculinity defined by Trump. “I don’t have a hard time believing that certain Republican candidates can attract support from young men,” he wrote in a survey analysis. “... Young men today are adapting to behavioral requirements foreign to older generations of men. It can be disorienting.” Andre Rocker, a Northwestern junior wrestler studying political science, said for college guys who might feel insecure about their masculinity, right-leaning social media influencers provide a playbook on how to be a man. Andre Rocker, a Northwestern junior wrestler studying political science, said for college guys who might feel insecure about their masculinity, right-leaning social media influencers provide a playbook on how to be a man. The influencers' support for Trump and his sexist behavior made it easy for many male students to vote for him. For Slotkin, the journalism student, the connection between Trump and the rise in misogynistic comments and incidents on college campuses is even clearer. “Trump's presidency will impact so many women so negatively,” she said. “I think, just inherently, if you voted for Trump, that is a sign of toxic masculinity. There's no other way to slice that.” ‘A DEAFENING SILENCE’ The impulse of some liberals to define all male Trump voters as toxic is actually causing serious harm to young men, argued Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men. The notion that college males have shifted their views on gender equality and become more sexist isn’t supported by data or surveys, he maintained, and it’s a “fatal mistake” to think those who voted for Trump now are more likely to denigrate women. Richard Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men, said the notion that college males have shifted their views on gender equality and become more sexist isn’t supported by data or surveys, he maintained, and it’s a “fatal mistake” to think those who voted for Trump now are more likely to denigrate women. “I think it's incredibly important that we don't let the exception get characterized as the rule,” he said. “We are in danger of throwing a generation of men under the bus completely falsely as a new generation of misogynists.” For many young men, the left’s rhetoric about "mansplaining" and patriarchy is unwelcoming and sometimes feels like a personal attack, argued Reeves. That carries over to their perception of college, which some view as liberal bastions where men are blamed for society’s inequities. Today, fewer men than women enroll in or finish college, and men are far more likely to kill themselves while at college, yet university leaders have done little to reach out or support them, according to Reeves. “There has been such a huge blind spot on the left and at progressive institutions, including colleges, towards the genuine challenges of men,” he said. “The deafening silence on men's issues on the left has made ... college-age men feel somewhat politically homeless and up for grabs.” Enter Republicans, whose messaging during the campaign was crystal clear: They like the things most men like, and they like men, Reeves explained. Rocker, the Northwestern wrestler, said when that messaging is packed with not-so-subtle sexist undertones, it can normalize bad behavior toward women. He sees it happening with some of his peers. “I do feel like, generally, our youth is not going in the right direction,” he said. “I think that direction is sort of reverting on our treatment of women as human beings.” Trump and other Republicans have also used gender issues to generate deep concern among conservatives that colleges are attempting to "turn kids gay" and promote what some call deviate behavior, argued Essig, the Middlebury professor. That fear played out in Indiana last year when the GOP-controlled legislature stripped state funding for Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute, which researches sex, gender and relationships. In Florida, new legislation eliminated diversity programs and severely restricted gender, race and sexuality studies at state-funded colleges. Women who don’t live by traditional gender roles — including college women — are increasingly targeted by male misogyny and sexism, argued Essig. That’s why she found it jarring, but not unsurprising, when anonymous texters began attacking her work in gender studies this year. “It’s a really easy way of tapping into very fragile and wounded masculinity,” she said. “I think about how compelling that rhetoric is for young men, because actually naming the real problems they face is far more complicated.”

The I Know What You Did Last Summer actress gave fans a peek into her relationship with son Atticus , sharing a rare video of the 9-year-old as she attempted to have a special family moment. "When you want to bond with your kids but they are watching the I pad!" Jennifer wrote on Instagram Dec. 26 , alongside a video of the duo. "Take what you can get!" In the video, the 45-year-old—who also shares children Autumn , 10, and Aiden , 3, with husband Brian Hallisay —could be seen getting close to Atticus' face and singing along to a popular internet version of the Golden Girls theme song "Thank You for Being a Friend." Atticus was clearly doing his best to ignore his mother's antics, holding back a laugh and chomping on pretzel sticks. Jennifer ended the video by giving her son a huge, motherly kiss on the cheek. And fans were obsessed with the look into Jennifer's life, with one writing in the comments, "Awwwww he looks just like you. so adorable to see you both like this." Another added, "Atticus is the cutest & you made me smiiiile!!!" While Jennifer has largely kept Atticus and his siblings off her social media pages, she did include her brood in her recently-released Lifetime movie The Holiday Junkie . The film—directed by Jennifer and costarring her husband Brian—allowed their daughter Autumn to dip her toes in acting after she expressed an interest in pursuing a Hollywood career. "Our big thing with her is, even though my experience as a kid actor was very positive, I think we've both sort of said, 'Stay in school, do that,'" Jennifer recently told E! News about Autumn's ambitions. "'Grow up. Wait until you're a little bit older. Don't take all of this on quite yet.'" Brian agreed with his wife's sentiments, saying, "I am a proponent of Autumn going to school and sort of growing up and figuring out who she is before she does all that as a kid." He added, "Because if it's something that you want to do, you have to work hard at it, and it's not easy."
