Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-23 10:43:35

Samuel Herman and Alexander Baciu never liked using Comcast's cable broadband. Now, the residents of Saline, Michigan, operate a fiber Internet service provider that competes against Comcast in their neighborhoods and has ambitions to expand. "All throughout my life pretty much, I've had to deal with Xfinity's bullcrap, them not being able to handle the speeds that we need," Herman told Ars. "I lived in a house of 10.

One of the big draws of next week’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is seeing Marvel’s First Family in the retrofuturist Earth-828. They’re Earth’s only heroes in that dimension, and before Galactus shows up, it sounds like they’ve done a pretty good job protecting the planet. They might even be too good at it, which is why they’re in their own universe to begin with. During a recent MovieWeb interview, director Matt Shakman discussed how the Four were made “in this time of optimism during the spac

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-23 12:15:16

As large language models (LLMs) become ever more integrated into the platforms that define daily life, major flaws in the software's security capabilities are starting to show. McDonald's is among the growing list of companies that have quickly shoehorned LLM chatbots into their hiring systems, consequences be damned. Its Paradox.ai-built chatbot, which McDonald's calls a "virtual recruiting assistant," goes by the name Olivia. Olivia is more than happy to help applicants find jobs near them t

For a moment in time, fantasy fans were split between whether Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies or HBO's Game of Thrones prestige TV show was the best adaptation of a classic book series. But the Oliphaunt in the room is that the last seasons of the latter plummeted so far in quality that it soured opinions on the show as a whole, especially with its divisive ending.
