Starlink has brought high-speed internet to millions of rural Americans for the first time. It’s also one of the most expensive internet service providers in the country. So, how is it available in New York for just $15 a month? If Starlink wants to sell internet in the state, it has no choice. That’s thanks to the Affordable Broadband Act, a New York state law passed in January. However, customers will still have to pay $349 upfront for Starlink's equipment kit.

Lawmakers writing NASA’s budget want a cheaper upper stage for the SLS rocket

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-24 12:30:35

Not surprisingly, Congress is pushing back against the Trump administration's proposal to cancel the Space Launch System, the behemoth rocket NASA has developed to propel astronauts back to the Moon. Spending bills making their way through both houses of Congress reject the White House's plan to wind down the SLS rocket after two more launches, but the text of a draft budget recently released by the House Appropriations Committee suggests an openness to making some major changes to the program.

Tuvalu is preparing to carry out the first planned migration of an entire country in response to the effects of climate change. Recent studies project that much of its territory could be submerged in the next 25 years due to rising sea levels, forcing its inhabitants to consider migration as an urgent survival measure.

While announcing his new so-called "AI Action Plan," which is primarily designed to eliminate regulatory hurdles for the industry, president Donald Trump made some baffling remarks. While standing next to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose chipmaker leads the S&P 500 Top 10 Index with a multi-trillion-dollar market cap, Trump admitted he had no idea what Nvidia was, as Tom's Hardware noticed.

Galaxy S25 FE leak reveals new colors, bad news for RAM and storage

TL;DR The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could have 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. While these may be sufficient for most people right now, the specs aren’t very future-proof, especially given the pace of development of AI features.
