The Download: Ukraine’s Starlink repair shop, and predicting solar storms

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-11-13 23:10:00

Starlink is absolutely critical to Ukraine’s ability to continue in the fight against Russia. It’s how troops in battle zones stay connected with faraway HQs; it’s how many of the drones essential to Ukraine’s survival hit their targets; it’s even how soldiers stay in touch with spouses and children back home. However, Donald Trump’s fickle foreign policy and reports suggesting Elon Musk might remove Ukraine’s access to the services have cast the technology’s future in the country into doubt.

Qualcomm could release not one, but two flagship Snapdragon chips this year

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Leaks suggest Qualcomm is preparing two new top-tier SoCs: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (SM8850) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (SM8845). The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is said to feature Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU cores and share the same TSMC process as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Curiously, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 isn’t expected anytime soon. Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset late last year for Android flagships. With it, the company also took the opp

The Pixel 10 series brings even more panorama mode upgrades

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 phones bring several more upgrades to the panorama mode. You can now take panoramas with the 5x camera, although ultrawide panoramas are still out of the question. Google has also brought manual controls to the panorama mode so you can fine-tune your snap. Google neglected panorama mode on its Pixel phones for a long time. However, the Pixel 9 series delivered a variety of welcome upgrades last year. Now, Google has brought even more addit

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 8: Here’s why I’m not upgrading

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-14 08:30:13

The Pixel 10 series, save for the base model, is largely an incremental upgrade, with Google draping the familiar design in new colors. If you are coming from a Pixel 9 series, there’s little conviction to upgrade to the newer models, unless you absolutely cannot live without the new Pixelsnap accessories or the slightly improved Tensor G5. But what if you have an older Pixel 8 series phone? Then, the Pixel 10’s newer design can be alluring, while the new telephoto on the vanilla Pixel 10 could

The Destruction of NASA Would Be a Blow to Our Collective Imagination

Not long before he decided to leave NASA, Steve Rader, an engineer who spent 36 years at the Johnson Space Center, held a retreat for leaders in his department at his home in downtown Houston. It had been a trying few months for Rader and his team. “I will say, I don't cry a lot,” he tells me in a recent phone call. That changed after Trump took office. “You can ask my wife, from the first few months I cried.” After decades working on projects like the Space Shuttle and International Space Stat

Humans intervened every 9 minutes in AAA test of driver assists

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-14 08:00:34

Advanced driver assistance systems—also known as ADAS—come in a few variations. Blind spot monitoring, collision warnings, and emergency braking act like a second pair of eyes and ears, monitoring the car's environment to warn the driver, or possibly intervene, if a crash looks imminent. Other systems are better thought of as convenience features—things like adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, which relieve some of the burden of driving. Among the newer of these is the traffic jam assist.

Visualizing distributions with pepperoni pizza and JavaScript

Monday, August 18, 2025 There's a pizza shop near me that serves a normal pizza. I mean, they distribute the toppings in a normal way. They're not uniform at all. The toppings are random, but not the way I want. The colloquial understanding of "random" is kind of the Platonic ideal of a pizza: slightly chaotic but things are more or less spread out over the whole piece in a regular way. If you take a slice you'll get more of less the same amount of pepperoni as any other slice. And every bite

Ricoh Announces Updated Version of My Favorite Travel Camera

It's a fixed-lens camera that can easily fit in a pocket, but inside is a big APS-C image sensor -- far larger than what you can get in a phone. Larger image sensors typically mean better image quality compared to smaller sensors. I really liked the GR III and picked it as the best point-and-shoot camera for travel.
