Starlink goes mini - which I'm sure will delight the campervanners

Elon Musk says this product will "change the world". He has a point, it certainly has the potential to take internet into hard-to-reach locations, including locations without power.The new Starlink Mini is an all-in-one device, which is a combo satellite dish and router, small enough to fit in a (large) backpack. It delivers 100mbps internet on DC power sources, needing just 20-40 Watts, which means a portable power pack is enough to use it. It's around 30cm long, 25cm wide and weighs just over 1kg -- not too much bigger than the biggest iPad. Available as a mobility add-on in the USA, and as a standalone product in parts of Central & South America and is expected to roll out to more countries soon.

Netflix is going from your tv, to the mall 

You can soon live your favourite Netflix shows. Opening in 2025, Netflix House is headed to shopping malls in Dallas and near Philadelphia, using the tens of thousands of square feet of retail space abandoned by department stores. They say there will be "regularly updated immersive experiences" and "unique food and drink offerings". It's certainly not going to be a theme park, but seems to be more of a highly interactive museum / gallery? Can't get to those locations? Netflix has launched its own popcorn —"Netflix Now Popping"— which is for sale at Walmart.
