C. Scott Brown / Android AuthorityTL;DR A Samsung customer support agent has given an apparent launch window for stable One UI 8.5. The agent reports that the stable update could be released globally around May 4. You should be skeptical of this claim, though, as support agents might not be privy to an exact launch date.

A single shot transforms the mice’s brains into biomanufacturing machines. Blood proteins churn the injected chemicals into a soft, flexible electrode mesh that seamlessly wraps around delicate neurons. Pulses of light aimed at the mesh quiet hyperactive cells. All the while, the mice go about their merry ways, with no inkling they’ve been turned into cyborgs.This science fiction-like invention is the brainchild of Purdue University scientists seeking to reimagine brain implants.These devices, often composed of rigid microelectrode chips, have already changed lives. They can collect electrical signals from the brain or spinal cord and translate these signals into speech or…

Just enough to make you feel like your setup is being held back. That invisible ceiling isn’t a bug. It’s not even Linux being Linux. It’s a locked door with a legal sign on it.

Paramount+ is a modern day streaming giant, and it just cut ties with a device you might use every single day. The company has effectively removed its app from Amazon’s Echo Shows and stopped support for streaming on the devices (via Cord Cutters News). It’s annoying and inconvenient for users who rely on their Echo Show’s large (but manageable) smart displays. So why did Paramount+ abruptly break up with Amazon’s devices, and what’s going on?

Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High mass flux to orbiy. Elon Musk says Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). This would be 16,000 launches per year. Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat.
