This 5G SA implementation should provide a decent boost in upload speeds for T-Mobile customers with the correct gateway, and it lays the groundwork for future, more dramatic improvements. All smartphones on T-Mobile's network receive 5G SA service, which in layman's terms is best described as "pure" 5G.

Raspberry Pi now sells a PoE+ Injector for $25. This device, which adds Power-over-Ethernet functionality to a non-PoE Ethernet switch, requires the use of a PoE HAT and does not come with a power cable. Power-over-Ethernet is a common standard that effectively turns networking cables into power adapters.

The company is also revoking remote access for free accounts, though this only affects server owners, not viewers. This is the first Plex Pass price hike since 2015. And, unfortunately, it's a fairly sizable price hike.
