I love Garmin's new Forerunner 170 Music smartwatch, but this deal for the superior Forerunner 265 makes it the better buy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Garmin’s Forerunner 170 is a solid running watch that brings great performance and smart features, all in a light and small package, and I particularly loved the Music version for phoneless short runs and activities. The watch was even found to be very accurate , according to my colleague Matt Evans’ testing. At AU$479 ( or AU$549 for the Music version ), however, it isn’t the most affordable as far as fitness smartwatches go — so when I found the older (but higher-tier) Forerunner 265 discounted by 38% on Amazon , I knew this was a deal too tempting to pass up. Featuring a more accurate dual-band GPS technology, 13 days of battery life, more size options and on-watch music storage, the Forerunner 265 is hard to beat for just AU$498. This discount takes what our reviewer called the best running watch for most people in 2023 to its all-time low price on Am...

PVanish says server count doesn't matter, so it rebuilt the parts that do

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support IPVanish just completed a two-year, ground-up network rebuild The upgrade leans on faster ports, direct peering, and dual data centers The provider now promises a 41% speed boost at peak times IPVanish has just called time on a project most of its users never saw: a two-year, ground-up rebuild of its entire server network . Server count, the company argues, is not what makes a network fast. How those servers are built, connected, and peered is what's actually important. Anyone weighing up the best VPN for speed will want to pay attention. The rebuild now promises a 41% average increase in per-server throughput across the network. It's a meaningful jump, but the more interesting story is how IPVanish got there. It comes down to four things: faster hardware, smarter peering, more redundancy, and a leaner software stack. Individually, none of these are...
