Playing video games with friends is intrinsic to gaming. It should be no surprise that games like Split Fiction and It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios, which focus on cooperative play, were critical successes. Despite how gaming has changed over the years, one thing remains the same -- people love playing games together. Some of my best memories are of marathon gaming sessions with friends, squished together on a couch or logging in online from different spots. Whether you're looking for a sp

FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices

The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of

Improving End-to-End Tests to Reduce Flakiness: Tools and Strategies

There’s nothing worse than a test suite that fails randomly. Flaky end-to-end (E2E) tests erode confidence, slow down releases, and lead developers to ignore legitimate failures. If your team starts using the term “CI roulette,” it’s time to act. Flaky tests are fixable—but it takes visibility, discipline, and the right tooling. What Is a Flaky Test?

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect.
