Europe has long had to choose between state-backed rocket maker Arianespace and a handful of foreign launch providers to get its satellites into space. Now, there’s a new option. Last weekend, German rocket startup Isar Aerospace became the first private company to reach orbit from the continent.Amid increasing global tensions, policymakers around the world have become more focused on developing sovereign launch capabilities, and in Europe, reliance on foreign players like SpaceX has raised significant concerns. Earlier this year, the European Space Agency launched a major new funding program, the European Launcher Challenge, for launch startups to help plug the…

When we built our ranch in northern Indiana, I wired the basement myself and ran Cat6 to every drop I could reach. I even crimped my own cables off a 1,000-foot spool to skip the cost of pre-made runs. The network works. Every port hits gigabit, the access points cover the whole house, and I’d take on the project again tomorrow. But wiring a house teaches you things you only learn once you live with the result. A few choices from that week still nag at me, and a couple of them cost real time to fix after the drywall…
Your TV is packed with ports you might not know about. Many of these ports are important, notably the eARC HDMI port, but some of them don’t offer the same kind of value. It’s a controversial take, but I don’t think TV Ethernet ports are very useful. Yes, it gives you a more stable connection than Wi-Fi, but the benefits end there. Stability isn’t something I worry about that much considering I have fiber internet with a very good connection. I haven’t had to deal with buffering in years, and if there’s any slowdown, I haven’t noticed it. That pretty…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that it had found a solution for a famous unsolved problem in mathematics by using a swarm of advanced AI agents. But the occasion quickly unraveled into an explosive scandal, with mathematicians accusing the company of stealing their work. OpenAI’s purported solution was for one of the so-called Navier-Stokes equations, which mathematically describe how fluids, ranging from wind to ocean currents, move and behave. These differential equations — equations that describe how different quantities change in relation to others…
