It's not surprising that they would do away with the motors. Satellite
density has now increased in most places to a level where there is
sufficient capacity in sight no matter which way Dishy points. At least
where we are at 37S, you can try this out at home even with the older
ones - power up, let Dishy orientate itself, and then rotate it away
from its self-adjusted direction. It's not going to re-orientate. That
said, pointing Dishy at where you'd expect most capacity to sit would
still give you better performance.

SpaceX today added a new Starlink terminal to its family of products.
The news

shared on X earlier by Tesla investor, Sawyer Merritt.
Compared to its predecessor, the Standard Actuated terminal — which
was also designed for everyday uses like gaming, video calls, and
streaming — the new device features

slimmer, more portable design, higher waterproof and wind resistance
rating as well as an increased field of view, and no motor.
In addition to the terminal, kickstand, and cables, the kit includes a
Gen 3 router with Wi-Fi 6 support. Based on the quick start guide
<https://twitter.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1725570377198268653>,
also shared by Merritt, the set-up process looks pretty easy."
