Wi-Fi router vs. mesh system: I compared both - and here's what I'd choose

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Routers are cheaper, faster, and easier to set up. Mesh systems fix dead zones with wider coverage. Choose based on budget, home size, and connection needs. With the adoption of remote and hybrid working, having a reliable internet connection at home is imperative -- not just for one device, but for several. If you have a family, maybe even dozens.

If you are good at code review, you will be good at using AI agents

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 14:59:10

Using AI agents correctly is a process of reviewing code. If you’re good at reviewing code, you’ll be good at using tools like Claude Code, Codex, or the Copilot coding agent. Why is that? Large language models are good at producing a lot of code, but they don’t yet have the depth of judgement of a competent software engineer. Left unsupervised, they will spend a lot of time committing to bad design decisions. AI agents and bad design Last week I built VicFlora Offline: an offline-friendly PW

Moon Helium Deal Is the Biggest Space Resource Grab Yet

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-20 20:00:11

For billions of years, solar winds have bombarded the Moon. Over time, this constant onslaught of charged particles has caused helium-3 to accumulate in the lunar surface. This isotope is rare on Earth, and rising demand from several industries—including quantum computing—has incentivized some companies to explore the possibility of lunar mining. One such company is Interlune, a Seattle-based startup that aims to extract natural resources—primarily helium-3—from the lunar surface. Interlune eve

Some time soon, perhaps next year, SpaceX will attempt to fly one of its enormous Starship rockets from low-Earth orbit back to its launch pad in South Texas. A successful return and catch at the launch tower would demonstrate a key capability underpinning Elon Musk's hopes for a fully reusable rocket. In order for this to happen, SpaceX must overcome the tyranny of geography. Unlike launches over the open ocean from Cape Canaveral, Florida, rockets departing from South Texas must follow a narr
