Yes and no. Many other countries are using C-Band, but often under slightly different conditions. Some countries licensed frequencies that stop significantly farther away from the spectrum used by radio altimeters. Some countries have manda

The benchmarks seem to show YARP doing around 35% more requests per second, having around 25% less mean latency, 20% less 90th-percentile latency, and 10% less 99th-percentile latency for http-http. Moving to https-https, it's around 1

I'm kinda surprised that police don't get warrants for death threats. Sites like Reddit and Facebook collect lots of data. Even if someone is trying to be anonymous, they can likely connect it to a person. Some people might be abl

It was a cheap game for the NYTimes to purchase (low 7-figures so probably $1-4M), it's something that people love, and it'll attract a lot of new people to the NYTimes Games brand. For now, that's probably enough. They threw

For what it's worth, the 14" MacBook Pro is nearly the same size. 0.34" wider (left to right) and only 0.35" deeper. Smaller bezels and the fact that the 14.2" screen is measured diagonally mean that it's actua

Yes, you could do that, but it might be harder. Do you know of domains that are block-listed? If your email has links to malicious websites, they'll aggressively filter them. However, it might just be blocked entirely rather than endin

Google Workspace is expensive: $6/mo for 30GB. Microsoft will give you 1TB plus the Microsoft Office apps (plus email) for that price. If you have a family of 6 with a custom domain, Google is going to charge you $36/mo while Micr

Google Takeout will export all your mail in mbox format which is easily handled by mail programs like Apple Mail and Thunderbird and should let you sync everything to a new service (if that service won't let you transfer it themselves)

Elon Musk often makes contradictory statements. He's more recently said that Starlink has received 500,000 pre-orders and that, "Most likely, all of the initial 500k will receive service. More of a challenge when we get into the s

It's definitely not just about coverage, but also about how much capacity they have in an area. They don't want to overload the network given that home internet users will use a lot more data than mobile users. Likewise, they don&

Why does this seem aimed at the enterprise market (besides the price tag)? From what I've seen, Starlink uses CGNAT (carrier grade network address translation) so it's hard to handle incoming connections (given the lack of a publi

I'm not sure the site is claiming that. They claim 20-40ms latency for the premium plan and "as low as 20ms" for the regular plan. Real world latency on the system seems to be around 45-50ms. The section says "highER spe

I wonder if Starlink will start prioritizing their premium customers. If someone is willing to pay 5x more, it seems like Starlink would want to get to them first.

I think this was more common years ago. MySQL and MariaDB have diverged more in the years since which means that people want to know which they're installing. For example, RedHat Enterprise Linux used MariaDB as the default in RHEL 7,

That's actually an interesting side-effect. What happens to ARM now? New players who are looking for a long-term strategy are looking at RISC-V (as you note) in part due to Nvidia's reputation. Despite the deal being quashed, they

The ARM deal would have impacted all other ARM licensees a lot more than Apple. As you note, Apple is making custom cores so they don't need ARM's reference designs. For example, Google's Tensor processor in the Pixel 6 uses

Apple now has that kind of money, but they didn't in 2006 when ARM was selected for the iPhone (which would launch in 2007). Apple was a $50B company back in 2006. A decade later, they have a lot of experience and investment with ARM.

Apple's iCloud+ is cheaper. I pay $1/mo ($12/year) and that covers a few domains and a handful of email addresses with 50GB of storage. $3/mo ($36/year) will get you 200GB of storage and a family plan that lets you
