Amazon CloudFront now supports HTTP version 3 (HTTP/3) requests over QUIC   for end user connections. HTTP/3 uses QUIC, a user datagram protocol (UDP) based, stream-multiplexed, secure transport protocol that combines and improves upon the capabilities of existing transmission control protocol (TCP), TLS, and HTTP/2. HTTP/3 offers several benefits over previous HTTP versions, including faster response times and enhanced security.

Old Lloyd-George had the right idea – if you want money in politics sell a title – and that’s what I’ve been up to for the Resignation Honours list, Ed confides to his diary.  Of course the names on the list are the PM’s choice, but I have the PM’s ear and, what’s more, people …

Elon Musk has sold $32 billion worth of shares in Tesla since November. Normally a CEO selling that much stock in his own company would crash its share price but, in Tesla’s case, it hasn’t, because Musk has a sound ostensible reason for raising cash, The reason given is that he needs to raise cash …

The CHD320’s minimum open voltage (VOC) of 10V, double that of a standard 5-volt device, means only one CHD320 is required to drive the gate of a high voltage power MOSFET. The photocoupler is housed in a ceramic package with either Metal or Ceramic lid sealing, measuring just 3.85 x 3.85 x 1.6mm, making it …

National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan is experimenting with piezoelectric gated thin-film transistors. “Piezotronic force sensors are typically governed by either a strain-induced Schottky barrier height modulation or by a piezo-gating effect that redistributes the charge carriers in an induced piezoelectric field,” according to NCKU. “While Schottky barrier height based piezotronic devices have been well-explored, …
