Tele Columbus hat über 113 Millionen Euro in den Ausbau seiner Netze investiert. Das ist auch nötig, denn 39 Prozent der Haushalte sind noch ohne bidirektionale Verstärker und damit ohne Rückkanal. Es laufen Tests für zeitversetztes Fernsehen auf allen Endgeräten im Haushalt. (Tele Columbus, Internet)

NOAA posts a photo of the last sunset at US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.

The first day of spring causes most people in North America to think longingly of warmer days ahead in the summer months. But at the southern edge of the world—specifically, the US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station—a northern spring marks the last time southern researchers will see the sun for six months.
On Sunday, NOAA posted a haunting photo of the last sunset at the research station, where a few dozen researchers will spend the next six months in darkness. It's so cold, with temperatures as low as -100 degrees Fahrenheit, that airplanes will not return to the site until October at the earliest.
But the experience is not without its amusements. As the Atlantic described in a 2015 article, many South Pole winter denizens will attempt to join the 300 Club, in which one enjoys a 200-degree sauna and then streaks naked to the South Pole itself in -100 degree conditions. Most participants wear nothing but a scarf.
Images in auction listing match up with Google’s FCC filing from December.
Glass! It's back! (credit: A-to-Z Pawn Brokers)
We're still not sure what Alphabet, Google, or the X division will call any new wearable headset unit to follow 2013's Google Glass, but we know something is in development—and now, at least one piece of unannounced hardware could be yours for the low, low price of $3,250 and counting (as of press time).
9to5Google spotted an eBay auction on Saturday with the simple title of "Google Glass (black)," and the images revealed an unreleased model that shares apparent similarities with a December FCC filing for a new headset—particularly new-to-"Glass" features like a folding hinge, an outward-facing LED light, and a different charging interface. Additionally, we see the all-caps word "GLASS" printed on the inside of the black-plastic hinge, and the letter A in particular has an artful slant to it—which makes us wonder why Google blacked out its Glass-related social media channels in January. With no confirmation from anyone in the Google or Alphabet camps, we can only go on how much this pawn shop’s hardware resembles that in the December FCC filing—meaning, if this headset is a hoax, it’s an impressive one.
Attempts to contact the San Francisco pawn shop in question, A-to-Z Pawnbrokers, were not fruitful, as the business is not open on Sundays. The Verge also couldn't get a response from the shop about the hardware's origins.
