How peculiar, that Russia Today downplays Russian influence on UK politics.

Ironic, then, that over the weekend Facebook censored a major story in the US.

According to China's state-backed Science and Technology Daily, Chinese scientists plan to build and launch small power stations into the stratosphere between 2021 and 2025, upgrading to a megawatt-level station in 2030 and a gigawatt-level facility high above the earth before 2050.

It saddens me that the US is no longer the leader in space. Sorry for the SB'ish comment.

Mind you, China doesn't have an illegal-immigrant problem, because it's already got a wall. It's great!

This month, there is one foldable phone in the wings that is capturing special attention because it can transform into a smartwatch. Hurrah for inventing a bigger, uglier, heavier watch?

Golly.

One good thing about it is the "grass v. mighty oak" thing, where a phone might not break when you bend or drop it; but the "phone becomes a watch" thing is a non-starter (although flat computing device turning into an armband that still accepts user input is not an unattractive idea).
It will make phone manufacturers and insurers unhappy, though, because they like the fragile methodology.
Phones with "super-cool" all-glass shells are just begging people to insure them and/or break them.

Researchers at IBM have recently devised a new technique to virtually patch security vulnerabilities before they are found. Is it called 'debugging'?

Huh, so developing a technique to catch vulnerabilities before they're released never made it past the advisory board? I supposed you can't sell as many products that way. Here's the software and the software that monitors the software, and a monitor that monitors the monitor software....

Well, they do let you download shows so you can watch them offline. That's what I was assuming they meant. Either that, or the people in Singapore are really, really efficient at binge-watching.

Haha.
But seriously, I just realised that the stats miss one glaring problem, which is data caps. I am not sure where these stack up with bandwidth across various countries. But things like Youtube monitor bandwidth and scale quality to some degree. This has hit me multiple times on phone where I might have amazing lte coverage, but I do not want the 1080 resolution on my phone eating up my limited data plan.
consider someone at home, they used to using less then 200gb per month. then they go from 5mb to 50mb, yeah wow. but same data cap.
They not realise but youtube sees the change and ups 720 or 480 to the now 1080 they user it thinks wants. 10 days in, no more internet, what happened?!?

Oh, some countries have even higher upload speeds than download speeds.
