From Outer Space to Your Router: Here's How Satellite Internet Gets You Online

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-26 02:00:00

The satellite internet space has only gotten more competitive in recent years, thanks to the rise of Starlink. Now that Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully launched LEO satellites to kick off its own service, we only expect the conversation to grow from here. Despite the popularity of Starlink and the growing power of its 7,000 satellites, satellite internet is generally considered a last resort for home internet, due to slower-than-average speeds and the steep costs of equipment. However,

Zig's New Async I/O

Asynchronicity is not concurrency. In the Zig Roadmap 2026 stream Andrew announced a new way of doing I/O, let’s see what are the goals of this upcoming design and how that relates to the revival of async / await in Zig.

OpenAI Is About to Release an AI Web Browser

OpenAI is on the verge of releasing its own AI-powered web browser, Reuters reports. Expected to launch in the coming weeks, the browser is being released with audacious ambitions. Per the reporting, it's meant to challenge Google Chrome's broad market dominance, with nearly two-thirds of internet users favoring the web browser, or about three billion people.

The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, I’ve considered Visible the best value in the US wireless market, thanks to its low pricing and generous data allotments. Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon.
