Nvidia says it has everything needed to build a self-driving car: GPUs and cameras onboard, racks more in the cloud. But where should the decision-making actually live? This episode digs into the real trade-offs behind autonomous vehicles – latency budgets for steering vs. route planning, Nvidia’s simulation stack for training without risking real roads, the industry landscape (Nvidia’s MediaTek partnership, … Read More
Watch Now: How did SpaceX use Linux on Consumer Chips to win the Space Race?
SpaceX skipped the $10,000 radiation-hardened chips that traditional aerospace has used for decades and put over a million consumer-grade Linux computers into orbit on Starlink satellites, and it worked. Alex and Brian from Speedify break down how Starlink runs real-time Linux on commercial silicon on their low-earth orbit satellite constellation, why running three computers per satellite protects them from cosmic-ray … Read More
Watch Now: QNX vs. Linux: What Makes an RTOS So Different?
Speedify engineers discuss what separates a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) like QNX from general-purpose operating systems like Linux, Windows, and macOS. QNX powers automotive dashboards, medical devices, and industrial control systems where microsecond timing failures aren’t an option. Alex and Brian from Speedify break down: Microkernel vs monolithic kernel architecture: why QNX isolates failures that would crash Linux or Windows … Read More
Watch Now: Why SRT Gives You Better Stream Quality Than Twitch
RTMP’s guaranteed transport can actually destroy a real-time stream. In this video, we break down why the professional broadcasting world (including ESPN and CNN) is moving away from Adobe’s RTMP protocol in favor of the modern, open-source SRT (Secure Reliable Transport). Alex and Brian from Speedify explore the fundamental technical differences of TCP vs. UDP and how SRT’s built-in jitter … Read More
Watch Now: Is OpenWRT Actually the Best Router OS?
Choosing between OpenWRT and Yocto router operating systems for your networking project isn’t always obvious. In this video, we show off OpenWRT-capable GL.iNET travel routers and break down the performance, hardware compatibility, and which router OS you should actually be using in 2026.
Watch Now: The End of Free Code?
Is open source software actually dying, or is it just being reshaped by Claude and AI development? Speedify engineers discuss AI vs open source and how LLMs like Claude are changing the landscape for developers and maintainers. From AI-generated pull requests to “borrowing” code without credit, the challenges for open-source projects are mounting. We also look at how Amazon AWS … Read More
