“5G” is an umbrella term that encompasses the current fifth-generation cellular wireless network technologies. All the major carriers and phones support 5G connections, which can offer faster data speeds than older technologies such as 4G LTE or 3G.Essentially there are three types of 5G: Millimeter-wave (mmWave), which can be fast but has limited range; low-band 5G, which has slower speeds but works on a broader range; and midband, which is a balance between the two that’s faster than low-band but also covers a larger range than millimeter-wave. Midband also incorporates C-band, a batch of spectrum auctioned off by the Federal Communications Commission in 2021.Your phone’s 5G connection…

Gabriele Farina grew up in a small town in a hilly winemaking region of northern Italy. Neither of his parents had college degrees, and although both were convinced they “didn’t understand math,” Farina says, they bought him the technical books he wanted and didn’t discourage him from attending the science-oriented, rather than the classical, high school.By around age 14, Farina had focused on an idea that would prove foundational to his career.“I was fascinated very early by the idea that a machine could make predictions or decisions so much better than humans,” he says. “The fact that human-made mathematics and…

In an increasingly familiar pattern, Grab has just posted strong Q1 results for 2026, seeing its revenue grow by 24% compared to 2025. The results beat analyst expectations, and turned last year’s US$21 million loss into a US$22 million profit—but you would struggle to see it reflected in the company’s stock performance. This is despite having hit its first profitable year since inception, earning US$200 million in 2025. Instead of a rally, following the transition from a money-burning startup into a mature, self-sustainable business, Grab has lost…

For decades, the technology industry lived and breathed by the cadence of a few select “can’t-miss” events. We remember the peak of COMDEX, the frenzy of early Macworlds, and, most importantly for the silicon world, the Intel Developer Forum (IDF). But as we move deeper into the era of Agentic AI and sovereign high-performance computing, the center of gravity is shifting. AMD recently announced its flagship global AI event for this coming July. For those of us who track the strategic maneuvers of the semiconductor giants, the timing and tone of this announcement aren’t just marketing – they are a…

Microsoft first unveiled Copilot for Gaming at the Game Developers Conference in March 2025, pitching it as…
Google is finally giving Chrome users something that’s been oddly missing for years: a middle ground between “share everything” and “share nothing.” And honestly, it’s about time. What is approximate location sharing in Chrome? Google has introduced approximate location sharing in Chrome on Android, letting users choose between sharing their exact location or just a broader, less precise area like a neighborhood. Until now, most websites either got full access to the precise location or nothing at all. With this update, Chrome adds a new layer of control directly in the permission prompt, where users can pick between Precise and…
