I test tablets for a living and this is the Samsung tablet I recommend the most

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-09-18 18:00:18

ZDNET's key takeaways The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is a 13.1-inch tablet for $649. It's a good iPad Air alternative for Android users, with reliable performance, a larger display than the S10+, and an IP68 rating that the iPad lacks; it also includes the S Pen. The price increased by $50 for the base model compared to last year, and the tablet now has a single rear camera rather than the precious dual cameras.

Bits and bobs related to Wireless-Tag's WT32-ETH01 board

Unofficial guide to the WT32-ETH01 What is this thing and why would I use it? The WT32-ETH01 is effectively a small, cheap ESP32 development board with Ethernet, WiFi, and GPIO pins, made by a company called "Wireless-Tag" (WT). As of this writing, it's around $15 at JacobsParts and around $7 from AliExpress. There aren't a ton of ESP32 boards with Ethernet, and the WT32-ETH01 is by far the smallest, cheapest, and simplest. (The OLIMEX ESP32-POE and wESP32 are the other notable options.) So,

news.ycombinator.com Georgina Gustin 2025-09-18 21:02:22

The American Midwest is home to some of the richest, most productive farmland in the world, enabling its transformation into a vast corn- and soy-producing machine—a conversion spurred largely by decades-long policies that support the production of biofuels. But a new report takes a big swing at the ethanol orthodoxy of American agriculture, criticizing the industry for causing economic and social imbalances across rural communities and saying that the expansion of biofuels will increase greenh

How to modify Starlink Mini to run without the built-in WiFi router

news.ycombinator.com About Oleg Kutkov 2025-09-18 17:40:07

The Starlink Mini terminal is designed as a compact, all-in-one solution with an integrated Wi-Fi router. While this design is ideal for typical consumer use, certain applications—such as custom networking setups, embedded installations, or power-constrained environments—may benefit from removing the internal router entirely. In this article, I’ll detail the process of physically removing the built-in Wi-Fi router board from the Starlink Mini, allowing the terminal to operate solely via Ethernet

The Federal Aviation Administration may soon levy fees on companies seeking launch and reentry licenses, a new tack in the push to give the agency the resources it needs to keep up with the rapidly growing commercial space industry. The text of a budget reconciliation bill released by Sen.

Terraforming, the act of radically transforming a planet's climate and environment to make it suitable for human habitation, currently belongs to the realm of science-fiction. But it's possible, at least in theory, and the idea of terraforming our nearest candidate planet for off-world colonization, Mars, has captivated us for generations.

Good smokers, kamados or otherwise, will stick to this temp for as long as 12, 15 or 20 hours. This means the temperature gauge is key a
