While the S20 FE 5G is part of Samsung’s 2020 flagship lineup, it’s too old to buy new given the premium prices offered by Samsung and other prepaid carriers/MVNOs. It’s on sale for less than half price at Walmart, but you’d still be wise to consider a newer phone in that price range. The biggest reason to hold off on buying a new S20 FE 5G is that it’s essentially reaching the end of its life from a software perspective. Samsung is committed to only three Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates for the S20 FE 5G…

Is Starlink or T-Mobile Home Internet better? T-Mobile Home Internet shares similar speed and latency potential with Starlink, but the costs, both upfront and month-to-month, are much lower. I’d argue that gives T-Mobile Home Internet a significant edge over Starlink. Starlink has an availability advantage. The low-orbit satellite service is there to fill the broadband gap where T-Mobile Home Internet is unavailable and other rural internet options, such as DSL and geostationary satellite (Hughesnet, Viasat), are less desirable. CNET’s individual reviews of each provider further that notion. T-Mobile Home Internet scored a 7.4 out of 10, one of the highest…

The battle between open source and proprietary software is well known, but the tensions that have permeated the software industry for decades have also found their way into the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence, where they’ve sparked fierce debate. The New York Times recently published a glowing review of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, noting that his “open source AI” initiative has rekindled his popularity in Silicon Valley. But the problem is that Meta’s Llama-branded large-scale language models are not actually open source. Or is it? By most estimates, no. But it does highlight that the concept of “open source AI”…
From computers to maglev trains, power tools to MRI scanners, rare earth permanent magnets are all around us. Modern life would be difficult without them, and their importance cannot be overstated.
