Why Is There a Date of 1968 in the Intel Chipset Device Software Utility?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-28 04:14:50

The Intel Chipset Device Software Utility shows a date of 07/18/1968 because it is symbolic: Intel was founded on that date. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of drivers in concern. This is necessary because it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers. Updating these drivers is not needed. Do not worry if you don't have the latest version.

Sluggish airline internet might become a thing of the past. For the last 20 years, airline internet has been notoriously unreliable, but Starlink is changing the game with significantly faster speeds. In fact, the latest reports show it's already twice as fast as its in-flight competitors. Starlink-equipped planes achieve superior internet speeds due to its fleet of almost 8,000 low-Earth orbit satellites, which operate much closer to Earth than the geostationary satellites used by competitors
