Can we please keep our broadband money, Republican governor asks Trump admin

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has a simple request for the Trump administration: Don't take our broadband money away. Trump's Commerce Department rewrote the rules of the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program, forcing states to change how they spend money earmarked for expanding broadband access. The overhaul led states to reduce spending on fiber networks and increase spending on satellite—although not to the extent sought by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is de

After Ukrainian testing, drone detection radar doubles range with simple software patch

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-07 03:16:51

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces. Many of these drones are Shahed/Geran types built with technology imported from

While Google typically publishes source code within 48 hours of a new release, it has been a week, breaking a long-standing precedent for the community.

Cool guys may have scars, but plenty of people would relish the opportunity to get rid of their own. In new research out this week, an experimental drug has shown promise at being able to clear up lingering scar tissue. Scientists in Australia conducted the study, a phase I trial of a tropical cream developed by the company Syntara. People applying the cream experienced no major side effects, they found, and the drug appeared to trigger changes in the skin within older, or mature, scars. Though

It consists of one capacitor (1C) and one silicon (Si)-based transistor (1T). While the capacitor’s role is to store a charge, the transistor is used to access the capacitor, either to read how much charge is stored or to store a new charge.
