How Much Internet Speed Do I Need? Stop Multiplying by People

The usual method — one person's needs times the number of people — assumes a connection gets divided. We measured it: one stream managed 78.1 Mbps while eight together extracted 152.8, so the household total rose 96 per cent even as each stream fell to 24 per cent of its solo rate. A link is filled, not divided, and a single-stream speed test understates yours by half.

How Much RAM Do I Need? Free Memory Is the Wrong Number

On a 17.2 GB laptop running a browser, a container stack and an editor, free memory read 0.06 GB — and nothing was wrong. The figures that carry information are the compressor, holding 7.82 GB, and swap at 4,421 MB in use. Here is how to read whether your own machine is rationing.

YouTube Is Doubling What a New Creator Must Earn Before Earning

From February 2027, new applicants need 8,000 watch hours or 20 million Shorts views, double the current bars. The quieter change is that Shorts earnings become a recurring test.

Why Is My Wi-Fi Slow? Usually, It Is Not the Wi-Fi

A page load is five separate stages, and the radio is only involved in one of them. Timed across three real sites, the Wi-Fi accounted for between 0.01 and 4.46 per cent of the wait — while reusing a single connection made the same page 39 per cent faster. Here is how to tell which stage is costing you, including the one uncomfortable number that turned out to be ours.

How to Format a USB Drive (and Which Filesystem to Pick)

Formatting takes thirty seconds; the dropdown decides whether the stick does the job. We built each filesystem as a real volume and asked it two questions. FAT32 refuses a file at exactly 4,294,967,296 bytes. exFAT has no such wall — and charged 64 times the data size for small files, which is the trade-off nobody puts numbers on.

How to Clear Your Browser Cache (and When It Will Not Help)

Clearing the cache is the reflex, and it is usually the wrong lever. Measured on one of our own pages: the cached files were 234,991 bytes and cost nothing to lose, while the checkbox next to them held 653 bytes and all of the damage — your cookie choice and your history. Hard-reload first, try a private window second, and if the page is still wrong the fault is the site's.

RAM Went From $2.80 a Gigabyte to $12. Google's Next Phone Costs More and Carries Less of It

Google has confirmed price rises across the Pixel range, blaming memory costs. Leaked specifications point the other way on RAM, and the arithmetic behind both lands closer together than you would expect.

Samsung's Galaxy Z8 Line-Up: the Fold8 Is Not the Fold7's Successor, and That Changes What You Pay

The Fold8 opens S$200 below last year's Fold7 — because it is a new shape, not the replacement. We put both generations side by side on Samsung's own Singapore and Malaysia pricing.
