|
SpaceX has increased the availability of its mobile mini antenna for its space-based Starlink internet service, ZDNet reported. SpaceX boss Elon Musk announced the device in June, claiming that it's quick to set up and can be easily carried in a backpack. He also included a purported speed test for the connection, showing a 100 Mbps download speed, an 11.5 Mbps upload speed, and a 23ms latency. When the device launched, you had to have a residential Starlink subscription to sign up, but SpaceX has now removed that requirement, opening the Starlink Mini to everyone ... |

Apple’s gaming push is heating up faster than you think
|
But one of its challenges is to persuade enough partners to launch their games on Apple devices at the same time as other platforms |
A few years back, Apple showed off No Man’s Sky running smoothly on a MacBook as a way to demonstrate its early efforts to push into gaming. It looked great, but it wasn’t exactly earth-shattering. Years later, Apple’s plans are coming into greater focus, even if they still aren’t fully realized yet, Digital Trends reported. At a recent and more impressive demo, Apple showed off several more games, including brand new ones, this time running on devices that included the MacBook Air M3 and a 13-inch iPad Pro M4. “While we’re still a long ways away from the App Store being up to snuff with Steam on Windows, I’m starting to see where gaming on iOS is headed — and Apple is getting there faster than I expected,” the report said ... |
