I Get 5G on My Phone at Home, So Why Can't I Get 5G Home Internet? Here's What I Learned

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-12 06:00:00

If you can get 5G on your phone while at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer the shiny new thing, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service. I ran into this when I switched my mobile carrier from AT&T cellular service to T-Mobile phone service. I was immediately impressed with the phone's 5G performance. However, ev

It's no surprise that the rise of artificial intelligence is sparking debates among experts. Moreover, whether you use ChatGPT or Google Gemini, generative AI is increasingly being integrated into our daily lives. It's only fair to ask: Could AI take over the internet? Some members of the online community reckon it already has. This old online theory is on the rise again, and it all has to do with Shrimp Jesus.

Artificial intelligence is now more pervasive than ever in the apps and gadgets we use day to day, and that of course extends to smartphones: Google Gemini on Pixels and other Android handsets, Apple Intelligence (currently still rolling out) on iPhones, and Galaxy AI on Samsung smartphones. These tools can help you refine text, generate images, and summarize documents, among other tricks, and you don't have to go far through your apps to find an AI feature ready and willing to help you with so

With the rise of LLM systems (or “AI” as they are annoyingly called), the term “vibe coding” is all the rage recently. Vibe coding is when you rely almost entirely on these “AI” system to write your code for you via a series of drawn-out conversations.

Async I/O on Linux in databases

news.ycombinator.com Jeremy Tregunna 2026-01-12 06:20:02

I've been working on a complex multi-model database for a few weeks now, and recently I took time to simplify and test out an idea I had on a simple key-value database. I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)

Intel will not be entertaining any projects that do not promise to double its money going forward. Michelle Johnston Holthaus, CEO of Intel Products, announced at Bank of America's global technology conference that Intel is no longer approving new projects that cannot be proven to earn at least 50% gross margin "based on a set of industry expectations."

The Switch 2’s Pro Controller Beats the Competition, for All the Wrong Reasons

With Donkey Kong Bananza now making its case as the real launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, I needed a controller that could keep up with Kong’s crashing fists. When it came to a game that epitomized joy and catharsis in equal measure, Nintendo’s own Pro device proved a leading contender as best all-around, but not for the reasons you may think.

When Nintendo first announced the Switch 2’s slate of launch titles, people were very quick to cry foul about how few original, exclusive games the company had lined up for its latest console. There were ports from other systems and updated versions of original Switch games.
