Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is the first US-based carrier to upgrade to a new “L4S” network technology, which reduces latency in its 5G networks. L4S improves upon existing technologies by decongesting networks in real-time, prioritizing applications that require faster internet. Thankfully, you don’t need to upgrade to newer hardware to use T-Mobile’s new low-latency tech. Choppy video calls or online games are among the most wicked ways to ruin someone’s mood. Every carri

My favourite German word¶ 30th June 2025 A documentation colleague recently challenged me with a question: Nowadays, more and more people reach for an LLM tool to provide the information they want. If human beings don’t actually read it, what is the point of writing and structuring documentation for humans? Newer generations (she said) are becoming unskilled at finding information for themselves. They seem less able to digest what they find, to apply it to their problems. But it’s not just t

Medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer twice made references to an early work featuring a Germanic mythological character named Wade. Only three lines survive, discovered buried in a sermon by a late 19th century scholar. There has been much debate over how to translate those fragments ever since, and whether the long-lost work was a monster-filled epic or a chivalric romance.
