SpaceX was going to launch about 5,000 to 8,000 Version 3 communications satellites in 2027 and then another 20,000 Version 3 communication satellites in 2028. This was the old plan until it was confirmed that AI data centers in space would work and would be easier to build. They are raising $75 billion or may $85 billion from the IPO and they will speed up launch plans and satellite build. They will sacrifice and slightly slowdown deployment of V3 communication (high speed internet) and direct to cellphone communications. https://t.co/OiqKPMftkH — nextbigfuture (@nextbigfuture) June 11, 2026 Adding 5,000 V3 satellites is…
With the Pova 7, Tecno took a page out of Nothing’s book with the Delta Light Interface, a triangular strip of light with 104 LEDs. Now the company is going to the next level with the Alive Matrix Display. This is a small dot-matrix display in the third “lens” of the camera island (there’s only one actual camera on there, despite appearances). The new Tecno Pova 8 is an upgrade over the Pova 7 in some respects, but a downgrade in others. It has a larger 8,000mAh battery (up from 6,000mAh). TÜV SÜD has tested the phone and found that…
I’m a handheld gaming PC connoisseur — I currently own a Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, and I’m already planning my next upgrade. It’s no secret that now isn’t the best time to buy into the PC gaming handheld market. The global RAM shortage is driving the cost of component pricing upwards, and those price hikes eventually hit consumers. Handhelds appear to be particularly vulnerable, as Lenovo’s base-model Legion Go 2 recently climbed 36% in price. The Steam Deck went out of stock due to market conditions, and now that it’s back, the handheld costs hundreds…
TL;DR DiffusionGemma writes a whole chunk of text in one go and then keeps polishing it rather than building it word by word. Google says it can be up to 4x faster, hitting 1,000+ tokens per second on NVIDIA H100 and around 700 on an RTX 5090, thanks to parallel processing. Output quality is still inferior to Gemma 4, so it’s more of an experimental tool than a finished product. Google has released DiffusionGemma, an experimental AI model that takes a very different approach to how most chatbots generate text today. Instead of writing one word after another in a…
Cybersecurity startup Aryon Security today announced raising $29 million in Series A funding. To date, the company has received $38 million in funding. The fresh investment round was led by Brightmind Partners, with additional support from Datadog Ventures, Skinos Ventures, and previous backers Blumberg Capital and Viola Ventures. Founded by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) cybersecurity veterans, Tel Aviv-based Aryon emerged from stealth in March 2025 to help organizations enforce security controls across their environments. A technology-agnostic product, the solution provides proactive protections, scanning assets for security misconfigurations and enforcing organization-defined policies where necessary. In the post Mythos-era, where AI accelerates…
Written by Catherine O’Connell-Cooper, APXS Strategic Planner and Payload Uplink/Downlink Lead, University of New Brunswick, Canada Earth planning day: Friday, June 5th, 2026 In a very broad sense, Curiosity has two modes of doing science – one centred around a defined science campaign (such as the recent boxwork campaign) and the other as we move between campaigns. During a science campaign, with a very defined start and end location, every image and every workspace is carefully choregraphed to make sure we hit all of our science goals for the campaign. This is a lot of pressure! But in between campaigns,…

HyperX Origins 2 1800: One-minute reviewThe HyperX Origins 2 1800 is a full-size gaming keyboard with mechanical switches and plenty of hardware customizations available.It adopts a fairly typical gaming keyboard aesthetic, although the translucent body does at least offer something a little different. This also allows the RGB lighting to shine through a little more than usual. And shine it does — this is probably the brightest RGB I’ve…
Almost every budget PC or laptop that comes with a Windows installation comes with Windows 11 Home edition. It works well for personal and normal usage. Windows 11 Pro is good for business users and organizations that need more security features, as well as management capabilities. But getting Windows 11 Pro out of the box costs more money. Instead, we can upgrade Windows 11 Home to Pro easily by getting a Pro license. However, some users report being unable to upgrade to the Pro edition. In this guide, we show you what to do when you can’t upgrade Windows 11…
It seems like a lot of hopes were pinned on the recently released reMarkable Paper Pure. Not only has reMarkable itself gone through layoffs and leadership changes, but until the Pure, the company appeared to have given up on offering cheaper E Ink tablets to focus on premium options like the excellent reMarkable Paper Pro and Paper Pro Move. The Paper Pure changed things, not only by being cheaper than those other tablets at $399, but also by being lighter, faster, and shipping with better battery life than the company’s previous entry-level option, the reMarkable 2. With the launch of…
Data security firm Cyera today announced raising $600 million in a fresh funding round that brings the company’s valuation to $12 billion.

Cyera’s valuation has quadrupled since late 2024, when it raised $300 million in Series D funding at a $3 billion valuation. It also received $540 million in Series E…
