The Morning After: NASA beamed a cat video from deep space to Earth

Dec 26, 2023 - engadget.com
NASA successfully demonstrated a new laser communication technology by beaming a video of a cat named Taters across 19 million miles of space from the Psyche spacecraft back to Earth. The signal reached Earth in 101 seconds, a speed faster than most broadband connections on the planet. In other news, Apple is reportedly negotiating with major publishers to use their content to train its AI system, offering multi-year deals worth at least $50 million.

Humane Ai Pin, a next-gen wearable device that relies on voice cues and a projector to display information on the user's hand, is set to start shipping in March. Meanwhile, Mint Mobile, a prepaid mobile carrier, reported a security breach where hackers accessed customer information, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and SIM and IMEI numbers. However, credit card information and passwords were not compromised.
