US wireless carrier T-Mobile is getting into the in-home internet space, but the company is starting small. T-Mobile is launching an invitation-only pilot program that will let up to 50-thousand households in “rural and underserved areas of the country” use the company’s 4G LTE network in their homes by the end of the year. Those […]

Some version of the future of spaceflight is being built in South Texas.

What a world we live in. As SpaceX gears up to begin preliminary testing of its Starship vehicle along the South Texas coast, nearby South Padre Island has set up a camera to broadcast the proceedings. More than 2,700 people were watching as of 11:30am ET Thursday.
It's a clever tourism marketing ploy for the island but also great for spaceflight fans to get unprecedented views of real-time testing.
With that said, it's worth tempering expectations at least for the next few weeks. For now, SpaceX has attached a single Raptor engine to the test vehicle—which is nicknamed Starhopper because it was designed to make "hop" tests to varying altitudes to test Starship's landing capabilities. Eventually Starhopper will have three engines on the vehicle.

Microsoft is expanding the reach of its device management services.
Microsoft is bringing its Windows Defender anti-malware application to macOS—and more platforms in the future—as it expands the reach of its Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) platform. To reflect the new cross-platform nature, the suite is also being renamed to Microsoft Defender ATP, with the individual clients being labelled "for Mac" or "for Windows."
Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac will initially focus on traditional signature-based malware scanning.
macOS malware is still something of a rarity, but it's not completely unheard of. Ransomware for the platform was found in 2016, and in-the-wild outbreaks of other malicious software continue to be found. Apple has integrated some malware protection into macOS, but we've heard from developers on the platform that Mac users aren't always very good at keeping their systems on the latest point release. This situation is particularly acute in corporate environments; while Windows has a range of tools to ensure that systems are kept up-to-date and alert administrators if they fall behind, a similar ecosystem hasn't been developed for macOS.
One would hope that Defender for Mac will also trap Windows malware to prevent Mac users from spreading malware to their Windows colleagues.

We should start to see laptops with 9th-gen Intel Core processors later this year, but rather than start with an upgrade to the 15 watt Whiskey Lake-U chips that power today’s thin-and-light laptops, it looks like Intel is focusing on the follow-up to its 45-watt, high-performance Coffee Lake-H family first. If you’re curious about the […]

Die neue Schwerlastrakete der Nasa muss per Gesetz gebaut werden. Aber Missionen sollen auf andere Raketen umgebucht und Geld für die Weiterentwicklung gestrichen werden. Es war ein lange absehbares Desaster, das die Schwächen der heutigen Raumfahrt und ihre Angst vor der Technik zeigt. Von Frank Wunderlich-Pfeiffer (Raumfahrt, Technologie)
