SpaceX filed a request with the FCC on Friday seeking approval to put a constellation of 1 million data centersatellites into orbit.
While the FCC is unlikely to approve a network that expansive, SpaceX’s strategy has been to request approval for unrealistically large numbers of satellites as a starting point for negotiations.
The filing proposes establishing a network of solar-powered data centers in low Earth orbit that communicate with one another via lasers. The filling speak…

PCIe / FPGA folks: the ThunderScope people are chasing a strange issue where the TS PCIe card appears to work properly on AMD hosts (even with fairly long lossy channels like OCuLink cables or >1 foot riser ribbons) but is failing to train the link at all (i.e. not even coming up as gen1 x1) on Intel hosts.

But while they’re focusing on fueling Twitter battles and unleashing right-wing bots,
I’m focused on securing a better future for every Minnesotan.
That’s my priority, and it always will be.
Our end-of-year deadline is coming up tonight at midnight,
and folks like Elon and Mike are going to be watching …
