It's a DE9, not a DB9 (but we know what you mean)

It's a DE9, Not a DB9. (But We Know What You Mean) You have been misusing the D-sub connector terminology, and we're guilty of it, too. You’ve seen them everywhere, especially on older computer equipment: the classic 9-pin serial connector. You probably know it as a DB9. It’s an iconic connector for makers, engineers, and anyone who's ever used an RS232 serial device. Here's a little secret, though: calling it a DB9 is technically wrong. The correct name is actually DE9. With the release of o

The best internet connection is one you don't ever notice, and while we use the internet for everything these days, most of us don't know the first thing about our internet plan beyond the bill. As broadband experts, we've come a long way in terms of reading broadband nutrition labels, deciphering ISP-marketing jargon and learning how to boost our own home networks.

How Is T-Mobile's Starlink-Based Satellite Service Different From the Rest? I Tried It First-Hand

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-29 09:45:00

T-Mobile's new T-Satellite service commercially launched this week. It uses the Starlink satellite network to let you send and receive text messages from space. For $10 a month (or included in the cost of the company's Experience Beyond plan), the service can be a communications lifeline when you're out of cellular coverage. But that's the thing: To test it out, I had to find a cellular dead zone. T-Mobile estimates there are 500,000 square miles in the US with no cell coverage, so I left my ho

What does connecting with someone mean?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-31 20:16:48

Published on 24th July 2025 Connect I read a lot about the idea of connecting with people. They say it's the reason to get good at conversation — so you can connect. A problem I had with this advice is I couldn't find a good explanation of what connecting means. It means mutual empathy — they get you and you get them. It's discovering similar values, experiences and perspectives. It's a feeling of trust and comfort where you both feel safe to say what is truly on your mind. That feeling is wh

I Tried Orb, a New Internet Speed Test. It Might Be the Best I've Ever Used

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet speeds. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, I recommend always starting with a speed test. I've tested and used dozens of internet speed tests. The market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can't make sense of, and no slowing down your Wi-Fi. Speed tests are

If you've traveled to remote areas where cellular coverage doesn't reach, you know that anxious feeling when your communications slam to a halt. T-Mobile's new $10 a month Starlink-based satellite texting service, T-Satellite, which went live today, takes a different approach from other satellite services to provide mobile access even within the half a million square miles of wireless dead zones in the US.

Facts don't change minds, structure does

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 09:51:50

In 1633, Galileo Galilei stood before the Inquisition, not for inventing a radical new theory, but for proposing a straightforward idea: that the Earth moves around the Sun. This wasn’t even a new suggestion—Greek astronomers like Aristarchus had floated the heliocentric model centuries earlier. But in Galileo’s time, the idea ran into an insurmountable obstacle. We often chalk up the Church’s resistance to superstition or ignorance. While that played a role, there was something deeper at work.

We write a lot about fiber internet at CNET. It's often touted as the "gold standard" of broadband by policymakers, experts and internet users alike. The Fiber Broadband Association estimates that a little over 76 million homes have made the switch to a fiber internet connection, representing a growth of 13% in the past year.
