Fresh off the feeds, this is Tech After Dark. I'm Nova, here with Hopper, and Starlink just dropped the Mini 2, its rugged little portable satellite dish. Ooh, and the big change? Notebookcheck says it's a removable 71 watt hour battery that SpaceX says lasts up to 4.5 hours, and it clips on with no tools at all. Down, Hopper. It's 249 dollars, and a spare battery's another 50. Oh, and preorders are by invitation for select U S customers, with more countries to follow.

Okay, but what's that mean if you're camping way off the grid? It means a dish you can set up without hunting for an outlet. The full Notebookcheck post is linked, see you next time.
