With all the focus on Huawei’s fate vis-a-vis the US ban, there has been less attention on other phones that are just coming out of the woodwork. Even less on phones that exist only in rumors and speculation. The Galaxy Note 10 belongs in the latter and now that the dust around Huawei has settled down a bit, there is … Continue reading

The Nintendo Switch may be the darling of the console gaming market but when it comes to raw power, the Xbox One and PS4 are still the ones to beat.

As many of you would have heard by now, Huawei has run into some trouble with the US government where they were blacklisted from doing business with US companies, such as Google. While it might seem like this is more about “punishing” Huawei, the reality is that it will affect everyone.
This includes US companies whom Huawei has been buying from and customers as well. Perhaps previously not estimating the impact of such a ban, the US Commerce Department has recently announced that they will be granting Huawei a temporary reprieve where for the next 90 days, Huawei will be able to continue purchasing American-made products.
However, these purchases can only be for products that are used to maintain the company’s existing networks and to provide software updates to existing Huawei devices. It means that Huawei will not be able to purchase components to manufacture new products. According to Washington lawyer Kevin Wolf, a former Commerce Department official, “It appears the intention is to limit unintended impacts on third parties who use Huawei equipment or systems. It seems they’re trying to prevent network blackouts.”
It is unclear how long this blacklist is expected to remain in effect. Previously, one of Huawei’s competitors ZTE had also run into a similar sort of ban, but they later managed to sort it out a few months later.

Elon Musk often has very lofty plans, whether it be to bore tunnels under the roads to help ease traffic congestion, creating fully autonomous cars, or encapsulating the Earth in a blanket of satellites to help bring internet to everyone in the world. The latter effort, known as Starlink and is part of SpaceX, is expected to kick off this Thursday.
SpaceX is reported to be attempting to launch 60 of its Starlink satellites into orbit this coming Thursday. There have been multiple attempts to launch Starlink, such as last week, but was called off due to high winds. Another attempt was made but was then postponed to update its software and perform additional checks, so this would be the third time that SpaceX will be attempting to launch its satellites.
SpaceX will not be the first company to attempt to bring internet to all corners of the earth. Previously, we had seen companies such as Facebook and Google attempt similar efforts. However, the main difference with SpaceX’s Starlink is that with the use of satellites, in theory, it could cover a much larger area.
The goal is to eventually get as many as 12,000 satellites up in orbit. Musk had previously estimated that 400 satellites are the minimum needed to provide “minor” coverage, and 800 for “moderate” coverage.
