SpaceX wants to provide internet on school buses to enable students to do homework en route. I guess this is sort of a giveback to society so that SpaceX can easily expand without conflict from the FCC.
Pretty smart move for SpaceX.

How much Internet Speed to I need
This is a question that I always get; it depends from person to person. Some users would need more speed if their kids do gaming or are running security cameras throughout their house and are using their wifi. But the majority of the users who do not have this problem can use the chart below.
Note : Don't fall for those salesman scams that you need gigabyte service. You are just wasting money. Gigabyte is way to advance and it will be a few more years before anyone trully gets full capacity. My advise is start low and gradually increase your internet plan as your broadband needs get bigger.

It's bad enough that their economy is not doing well, but a recent test to stop password sharing in the country has started a social media boycott.

Amazon IP Inaction
A group of hackers again were able to get control of Amazon's IP addresses to hack some crypto users and when all the dust cleared these thieves were able to drain $235,000 from crypto users.

Google not a Publisher
Good new for Google when it comes to defamatory article. Since it's not a publishing company the users will have to go direct to the user. So in simple terms google just navigates using a hyperlink to articles.

Apple First EV Results
In so many simple words it was better off if Apple would have purchased Tesla instead of trying to invent the wheel. As far as being innovative with the EV industry it so far as been a big failure for them.
In my opinion, it's easier to find a new EV startup company and buy the company outright instead of spending unnecessary expenses in Research and Development.
The technology is already there, it's just piecing them together and creating a vehicle that will meet cutting edge technology.
7/27/22

Not too long ago a fleet of self-driving cars gathered together and blocked an intersection in San Franciso for several hours for no apparent reason.
Now many assumed this was a robot uprising but in actuality, it was a problem with the platform software. It's beyond me why this would occur and it's a strong message for cities to be prepared for the worse when disaster strikes.
The future is now but at what costs.
