Twin studies shocked the world by demonstrating that most behavioral traits - including socially relevant traits like IQ - were substantially genetic. Typical estimates for adult IQ found it was about 60%

But not to worry -- a black screen of death will be replacing it, albeit without the sad emoticon face. The infamous "blue screen of death" has been around since Windows 1.0 came out in 1985.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Xfinity Mobile’s WiFi PowerBoost lets your phone access Wi-Fi speeds in excess of the internet plan you’re paying for. So far it’s supported iPhones and Samsung Galaxy flagships and mid-rangers, but not Android phones at large. New settings for “Xfinity Speed Boost” in Google’s Adaptive Connectivity Service app suggest availability could be improving.

Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ could mean slower Wi-Fi for you

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2025-08-23 21:28:12

The Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill, backed by President Donald Trump, removes protections for unlicensed spectrum that broadens the capacity of the 6GHz Wi-Fi band. This could result in slower Wi-Fi speeds. Under the bill, which may be voted on at the end of this week, the FCC would sell off some of that spectrum to mobile carriers such as AT&T, which could use it to improve the speed of their mobile data. The bill includes a provision requiring the FCC to auction 800MHz of sp

The Windows kernel is about to receive a security-focused redesign after CrowdStrike crash

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-08-24 09:18:00

Why it matters: The kernel space is the core component of a computer operating system, where critical hardware management and device driver code reside in memory. If a kernel-level driver malfunctions, the entire OS can behave erratically – or simply crash and burn with a BSOD. Microsoft has stated that it is working on a significant change to the Windows architecture to help prevent another large-scale incident like the one involving CrowdStrike a year ago.
