The new PS Plus has tiers. Essential is like the old PS Plus, we still release two or three new games every month and a new tier, Extra, has a catalog of hundreds of games for people to play.

SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service can be reverse-engineered to work as a global positioning system according to a new research paper published by researchers at the University of Texas. The research involves using a secondary dish to capture the signals while the Starlink user dish is continuously communicating with the satellites, and it also reveals other key features about the signal that travels from the satellite to the dish. These include the nature of the signal itself, SpaceX’s efforts to ensure that transmission is efficient and the security features of the dish that are in place to prevent a user from accessing the raw signals to determine if the service can be used to determine the location of objects that it is transmitting to....
