HBO Max is back (again) - here's what's changing

Roku Streaming Stick HD 2025 Drops to a Record Low, Amazon Clears Out the Fire TV Stick Rival

Of the top-selling electronics on Prime Day, Fire TV Sticks usually head the list as Amazon’s own branded streaming players.

The newly updated Roku Streaming Stick HD 2025 is now available at a record price point, and it is one of the best streaming deals of the sale.

I love Roku for keeping its ads unobtrusive - which is why this Amazon deal worries me

If you watch TV via streaming, you need a device to download and present the stream. Most smartphones, tablets and computers have apps that will do this. Also: Your Roku has secret menus and settings -

Serving a half billion requests per day with Rust and CGI

In my previous post Serving 200 million requests per day with a cgi-bin, I did some quick performance testing of CGI using a program written in Go. Go works excellently for CGI programs, for many of the same reasons it works so well for CLI programs and system daemons.

CGI is good technology, actually# There’s a misconception that because CGI is old or because many CGI scripts had security vulnerabilities, CG

4.6B Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment

All this suggests that there is a chance for a deep reordering of the earth’s power systems, in every sense of the word “power,” offering a plausible check to not only the climate crisis but to autocracy.
