🚀 Taara's Laser Internet: Faster and Cheaper than Starlink and Fiber * Promises 10-100x faster than Starlink, at lower cost than fiber * "Lightbridge" devices transmit data up to 20km at 20Gbps
🔍 How it Works * Uses focused light beams, not cables or satellites * Mounted on rooftops/poles, no ground digging required * Ideal for challenging environments like rivers, valleys, remote areas
🔍 Origins and Deployments * Spun off from Alphabet's Project Loon balloon internet * Quietly deployed in test markets like Kinshasa, Nairobi, Coachella
🔮 Future Plans * 2026: Miniaturized "chip" version to simplify installation, reduce costs * Aims to bridge digital divide for 3 billion without reliable internet
🤖 Starlink Comparison * Targets specific locations, not global satellite coverage like Starlink * Spun off from Alphabet to scale faster with investments and partnerships

n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
Telegram Auto-Delete Messages in Any Chat
Some messages aren’t supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where it’s best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Here’s how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This won’t affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
