engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-22 17:52:07

The Federal Communication Commission plans to vote on new rules that will ban the use of Chinese technology in undersea cables, according to a press release from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. The proposed rules will apply to any company on the FCC's existing list of entities that pose "an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States." Besides "prohibiting the use of 'covered' equipment," the FCC's new rules will also limit the ability for Chinese companies to receive a license t

YouTube has clarified its rules about repetitious content and your favorite reaction video channel won't be impacted. Earlier this month, the platform said it would be changing its rules for monetization in an effort to address AI-generated materials, but didn't include many specifics, which led many to sound the alarm that reaction videos might get swept up in the new rules. The company has now provided a few tweaks and more clear delineations in its guidelines about channel monetization polici

Why government red tape is draining your phone’s battery potential

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-09 04:00:15

Robert Triggs / Android Authority You’re not alone if you’re pining for longer battery life from your latest smartphone. Despite emerging technologies like silicon-carbon cells, we’ve seemingly hit a ceiling just above the 5,000 mAh mark — at least for phones sold in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, glance over at models in China or India, and you’ll spot far larger batteries in otherwise identical handsets. For example, the new Nothing Phone 3 packs a 5,150mAh battery globally, but bumps that up

Evidence of a 12,800-year-old shallow airburst depression in Louisiana

news.ycombinator.com Fitzenreiter 2025-08-13 00:55:53

Introduction Cosmic airbursts and impacts produce a wide range of surface effects, with high-altitude airbursts, such as the 1908 Tunguska event, primarily generating blast damage without forming craters [1]. In contrast, low-altitude “touch-down” airbursts may induce surface melting, spherule formation, shocked quartz, and shallow cratering [2]. Due to preservation challenges, few airburst signatures are documented in the geologic record, limiting our understanding of these events. Here, we rep

How to Think About Time in Programming Date published: Jun 23, 2025 Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity. Others repeat advice like "just use UTC bro" as if it were an unconditional rule - if your program needs precise timekeeping or has user-facing datetime interactions, this advice will almost certainly caus
