What Is Cellular Internet And Is It A Reliable Broadband Connection?

The latest report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index highlights that for the first time ever, a non-fiber internet provider, T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, matched in score with AT&T Fiber. In other words, customers are just as happy with a cellular internet service over a wired one through fiber. Cellular internet doesn't deliver fast speeds in comparison to fiber. However, it could still be a lifeline for disconnected communities in rural areas. According to the latest Pew Research Cent

Best Internet Providers in Columbus, Ohio

What is the best internet provider in Columbus? CNET's broadband experts recommend AT&T Fiber as the best internet service provider in Columbus, Ohio. It's not hard to see why: the ISP has reasonable pricing, ranging from $55 to $245, as well as the fastest speeds in the area with 2 and 5 gigabits, respectively. However, its biggest pitfall is that its geographic reach isn't 100% -- so those not in the region will need to look elsewhere. But there are plenty of great alternatives, such as Spect

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud

Emulating an iPhone in QEMU (Part 2)

What's the plan? At the end of our previous blog post, we got PreBoard to show its UI. But we had no idea if getting SpringBoard to work would even be possible, since we didn’t have SEP emulation. Still, we wanted to see how far we could get without it. Before SpringBoard could show anything, we had plenty of issues to fix. Although the backboardd and SpringBoard processes were starting and stable, they were stuck in different places. Our strategy was to go through system logs, find suspiciou

Best Streaming Services of 2025

There's a reason why Netflix has become shorthand for streaming in general. The service has evolved into a must-have streaming app, even if you choose to pay extra to share your password.

Google Pixel 10 may fail to live up to our MagSafe dreams, after all

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is preparing a range of “Pixelsnap” accessories for the Pixel 10 that support wireless charging. Despite Qi2 support, the phone may require the use of a case to add the magnets needed for alignment. In addition to Google’s own accessories, look for a range of similar Made by Google solutions from third parties. What is so hard about giving Android users what they want? When it comes to wirelessly charging our phones, we’re not asking for that m

Congress Demands Answers on Data Privacy Ahead of 23andMe Sale

US Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jan Schakowsky on Thursday sent letters to the two potential buyers of troubled genetic testing firm 23andMe demanding details about consumer data privacy should either of them acquire the company. Signed by 20 other Democratic members of Congress, the letters were sent to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and TTAM Research Institute, which have put forth separate bids to buy 23andMe.

This hidden Chrome feature is my secret productivity trick - here's my favorite way to use it

Solar Orbiter captures images of the sun's pole for the first time

The Solar Orbiter has been observing the sun since 2021, but it recently went on a side trip to Venus which significantly tilted its orbit and gave it a good view of the sun's polar region. That is how it was able to capture images that will historically be known as humankind's first-ever views of the sun's pole. All our galaxy's planets and the other spacecraft we've deployed orbit the sun around an imaginary ecliptic plane along the star's equator. But thanks to the Solar Orbiter's Venus flyby
