TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“ก BREAKING NEWS: Verizon just dropped a ๐Ÿ’ฃ and acquired Starry, the not-quite-5G ISP that gives โ€œhigh-speedโ€ internet a whole new meaning. Remember when we thought Starry was the future of wireless broadband? Turns out theyโ€™re more like โ€œoops, did we just hit bankruptcy?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ธ Hereโ€™s the tea โ˜•๏ธ: Starry beams internet into homes like a tech-savvy alien abducting your data through a laser ๐Ÿค–โœจ. But get thisโ€”they only work if thereโ€™s a direct line of sight! So if you live in an apartment where your WiFi tries to navigate through a million walls like itโ€™s a maze? Good luck! Your internet's about to be as lost as a boomer trying to use TikTok. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ Verizon's CEO reportedly said, โ€œWe had to buy Starry; the last thing we need is to be associated with a future where people actually rely on their home internetโ€”what is this, the Stone Age?โ€ ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿคก Meanwhile, Starry employees are probably staring into the abyss, wondering if they'll be getting a severance packageโ€ฆ or just a heartfelt email. ๐Ÿ’” **๐Ÿ”ฎ Hot take alert:** Verizonโ€™s gonna beam internet directly into your brain! Itโ€™ll be called Verizmind, and the first person to sign up? Elon Musk. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฅ Stonks ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€!
