Wow this is one of those instances where I'm simultaneously surprised something still exists and also find it to make a lot of sense that it still exists.

Ah the USR sportster. An ubiquitous workhorse of the early '90s

… In the U.S., for instance, the latest government census data indicates approximately a quarter of a million remaining dial-up holdouts.
One of the natural successors for internet connectivity in hard-to-reach places is satellite, with around eight million subscribers in the U.S. …
...and a similar disparity in cost.

I worked there from 2002-2005. Was 2 cubicles down from the guy responsible for sending out the “free trial!” CDs. Fun times

My autocorrect always tries to correct "its" to it's" no matter the context

Yeah. Increasingly reliable satellite internet really killed their bottom line over the last few years.

"Could of" and similar phonetic replacements making no sense whatsoever irritate me more.
Here at least the logic is arbitrary, "Anna's apartment" and "school's leadership" vs "Anna's waiting" and "school's empty", but "its tail" vs "it's cold".
OK, I'm not a native speaker as it may be clear.

Same. But that shouldn't be a factor in a professional publication.

First, could be autocorrect, and second: How many languages do you speak FFS?

I still have one, still in the cellophane. I use it as a coaster.

Any alternatives to the Starlink?

Fwiw, the logic is, "its" isn't quite the equivalent of "Anna's" or "school's."
Rather it's the equivalent of "his," "hers," and "theirs." Also "mine" but that's just irregular af. In other words, possessive pronouns don't take an apostrophe while possessive nouns do.
It's not a LOT of logic, a pretty shaky ladder, but there it is. 0
(Oh, and for both nouns and pronouns, position in the sentence makes a difference whether to use a contraction at all, or go with the separate "is." But that's a horse of a different color!)
