Hello and welcome to SED News. We're back after the holidays. I'm Gregor Vand.

And I'm Sean Falconer. And this is another one of our slightly different formats of SE Daily, where we take a spin

through the tech headlines.

We look at sort of a slightly more meaty topic in the middle, and then we tend to round

out with some of our favorite highlights from Hacker News.

As always, we just like to kind of catch up on what we've

been up to. And obviously, we've not actually done an SED news in about eight weeks given the

holidays. So yeah, Sean, how was your holiday season? It was good. You know, I went back to Canada

where I grew up for the first time for the holidays in 14 years. I've been maybe purposely protecting my family

from what that experience is like. They're California natives. So they had the experience

in their first Christmas holiday for winter in Canada. But it was very nice. We had a white

holiday. So that's always fun. How about you? Yeah, still in Singapore. So I hadn't accrued enough leave really to take a lot when I started a new role back in October or something. That's just the realities of what happens when you start a roll. But it was nice, still nice to be over here. One thing that did occur, though, was I did help back to the UK just for a week

to see some family, and I purposefully picked flights that were Starlink enabled, or at least

I thought they were going to be Starlink enabled, and they were. And we talked a bit about this

in the last SED news. I have to say it was an absolute game changer. So yeah,

I did, I think I did send you on the plane a screenshot of the speeds, Sean. Yeah, I saw that.

So yeah, it was, it was just mind-blowing, like, in terms of the quality of the connection and the

speeds. And the fact is what's like gate to gate, so you literally

get on the plane and you haven't even, you just sat in your seat and it's already available.

That's great, because I find it really frustrating a lot of times when you want to use Wi-Fi

in the plane and you have to be in the air for some reason before you can actually enable it.

I don't know what the rule is.
