From the article: Spectrum Mobile and Xfinity Mobile, have launched satellite-based services through a collaboration with Skylo, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) service provider.

I am curious what their pricing policy will be like.

According to Nvidia’s CEO:The more you buy, the more you save

I hope Nvidia tries to compete with Qualcomm on ARM CPU especially around pricing, but i am not holding my breath.

Another threat is Apple’s in-house modem(if it succeeds and is currently trending in that direction). That’s a sizeable market share lost in the smartphone, which Qualcomm has come to dominate.

iirc only pixel 9 lineup has a modem capable of satellite connection.

I had to turn off RCS due to spam and go back to Whatsapp.

Its Google’s version of E2EE. The key is “trust me bro” its encrypted.

Intel’s Arrow Lake chips’ “bones are solid,” Hallock said during the interview.

Fuck Scalpers

From the article:

TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, told Chinese customers it would no longer manufacture AI chips at advanced process nodes of 7 nanometers or smaller as of this coming Monday, three people familiar with the matter said.

Google Phone app’s spam filter has worked really well for me.

MS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.

OneDrive, I fucking hate that thing. Rest I can tolerate but OneDrive really grinds my gears.

AI is the magic word, if you need loads of VC money.

No, and I agree with you they don’t go deep in any topic.

I don’t want 20+min videos from Proton. Just a 3-5 minutes explainer on how to use the different features they offer would be nice instead of whatever they are currently doing.

98 / 2 / 0 %

To me, articles like this are more of an informative piece than news. Telling you, about the new features your device just got and how to use it.

Valve did not say exactly why it got rid of its forced arbitration clause. But the company is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit in Washington state over the dominance of the Steam platform and over claims that it has overcharged for some games. The plaintiffs in that case actually went to arbitration and convinced an arbitrator that the forced arbitration clause should not apply to them, and were allowed to sue.

The plaintiffs in that case “retained separate counsel and mounted a sustained and ultimately successful challenge to the enforceability of Valve’s arbitration provision. Specifically, the named Plaintiffs won binding decisions from arbitrators rendering Valve’s arbitration provision unenforceable for both lack of notice and because it impermissibly seeks to bar public injunctive relief,” the class action lawsuit against Valve reads. Valve has not yet filed any arguments in that case.
