12 Kitchen Items That Your Dishwasher Will Destroy

Whether you're breaking in a new dishwasher or you're a veteran of automated cleaning, the urge to cram everything inside and hit start is real. Hold up before you toss every utensil and blade onto those racks. Those scorching temperatures and intense wash cycles can wreak havoc on your best kitchen gear. Think warping, rust, cracks, and dull edges -- even items marked "dishwasher-safe" aren't immune. Yes, that means some of your most expensive tools are at risk too. So before you run that nex

IT system supplier cyberattack impacts 200 municipalities in Sweden

A cyberattack on Miljödata, an IT systems supplier for roughly 80% of Sweden’s municipal systems, has caused accessibility problems in more than 200 regions of the country. In addition to the service disruption, there are concerns that attackers also stole sensitive data. Local media report that the threat actor demanded a ransom of 1.5 (currently around $168,000) Bitcoins from Miljödata in exchange for not leaking stolen information. Miljödata is a Swedish software company that develops and p

The Trump administration promised a fourth wireless carrier — America got a hot mess instead

With Dish Network owner EchoStar selling $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, any pretense that the TV provider will become a serious wireless competitor is dead. But the project was always doomed to fail, and despite plenty of assurances by the Trump administration and other companies involved, the very obvious writing was always on the wall. More than 9,000 T-Mobile employees lost their jobs, the wireless sector stopped seriously competing on price, and T-Mobile increasingly began to beh

The physics of parabolic microphones: Frequency dependence of gain (2023)

Introduction Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn’t difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable size. Just as a large amount of weak light is captured by a telescope’s parabolic mirror and made amenable to viewing with the much smaller human eye, so too are faint sounds harvested with a reflecting dish that far exceeds the dimensions of our

A Year Later and I'm Still Obsessed With Daily Harvest's $5 Premade Pasta Meals

I have mixed feelings about Daily Harvest smoothies. They're tasty but expensive, and some are high in sugar. And making smoothies from scratch doesn't take much time if you have the right ingredients on hand. For me, the real star of this 100% plant-based and gluten-free meal service is its premade pastas. They're healthy, filling, easy to prepare -- heat them in a skillet and the frozen cubes of sauce bring the dish together -- and cost under $11 per bag, each containing two full servings. As

Starlink Teases ‘Community’ Discount for Shared Satellite Access. Here’s How It Works

SpaceX may soon allow multiple Starlink users to share access to a single dish for a lower monthly rate, according to a post on a customer support page. (The news was first reported by PCMag, which is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) The post, which has since been taken down, stated, “Starlink is launching a new affordable way to deliver high-speed internet: one Starlink, multiple subscribers -- each with their own Starlink account and seamless experience.” A Starlink Com

From Outer Space to Your Router: Here's How Satellite Internet Gets You Online

The satellite internet space has only gotten more competitive in recent years, thanks to the rise of Starlink. Now that Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully launched LEO satellites to kick off its own service, we only expect the conversation to grow from here. Despite the popularity of Starlink and the growing power of its 7,000 satellites, satellite internet is generally considered a last resort for home internet, due to slower-than-average speeds and the steep costs of equipment. However,
