Join Relay in supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Once again, our friends over at Relay have launched their annual campaign to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The Relay community has raised over $4 million for St. Jude since 2019. I’ve set up a 9to5Mac fundraising page for St. Jude through the Relay campaign. You can visit that page to make your donation and earn some rewards in the process. St. Jude is a decades-old children’s research hospital based in Tennessee that aims to find new treatments and cures for childhood

Media over QUIC (MoQ): Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack

13 min read For over two decades, we've built real-time communication on the Internet using a patchwork of specialized tools. RTMP gave us ingest. HLS and DASH gave us scale. WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today. But using them together in 2025 feels like building a modern application with tools from different eras. The seams are starting to show—in complexity, in latency, and in the f

NASA Satellite That’s Been Dead for 57 Years Sends Mysterious Signal to Earth

A little over a year ago, scientists in Australia picked up a brief burst of electromagnetic radiation. The pulse was so strong that it eclipsed all other signals coming from the sky, but its origins were unknown. After digging through the data, the team discovered that the source wasn’t a distant celestial object but rather a zombie satellite left to orbit Earth with no purpose. NASA’s Relay-2 launched on January 21, 1964, two years after its predecessor, Relay-1, was sent to orbit. The pair w

Long-Dead NASA Satellite Suddenly Lets Out Epic Blast of Energy

NASA's experimental Relay 2 satellite had been dead in the sky since 1967 — until last summer, when it emitted a super-short and very powerful burst of energy out of nowhere. In an interview with New Scientist, one of the researchers from Australia's Curtin University who discovered the strange pulse coming off the dead communications satellite described his shock at finding the nearby source of that nanosecond-long energy blast. Curtin astronomer Clancy James and his team had been using the A
