Alphabet's Taara chip uses light beams to provide high-speed internet


Alphabet has announced a new development for Project Taara's technology that could lead to low-cost, high-speed internet connectivity, even in far-flung locations.

The beams from two units must be aligned with each other to be able to form a secure link that can transmit data, which is why Lightbridge was fitted with the parts needed to be able to physically steer the light. A charity games bundle that's supporting wildfire relief efforts in Southern California includes hundreds of titles, such as Tunic, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Hidden Folks and SkateBird. In the latest edition of Engadget's weekly deals roundup, we found discounts on gear from Apple, Anker, Samsung and Rad Power ebikes.
