This blew my mind!

Satellites send signals to your phone

These signals carry an exact atomic-clock time.

And your phone times how long each signal takes to reach you.

Since those signals travel at the speed of light, your phone turns that time into distance.

đź’ˇ distance = speed x time

That distance becomes the radius of an invisible sphere around each satellite.

And your location is where those spheres overlap

Here’s what I learned hosting the AWS re:Invent Lightning Talks last week👇 Save this for later!

Any field you’re in, whether it’s engineering, tech, or something else, getting comfortable sharing your work publicly is one of the fastest ways to grow your career, your confidence, and your opportunities.

You don’t need the perfect slidedeck or a massive stage. Start small. Say yes. Share the thing you know. Someone out there needs it.

Save this, so you remember this fun fact later! What are two main types of touchscreens? 👇

✨ Capacitive: reacts to your body’s electrical charge (used in phones + tablets)

So when your fingers are cold and your phone doesn’t respond, it’s not broken. Cold fingers have less blood flow + moisture, which = less conductivity.

✨ Resistive: reacts to pressure (used in kiosks + outdoor equipment)

Instead of sensing electricity, resistive screens work when you physically press down. The screen’s top and bottom layers touch to complete a circuit. That’s why they still work even when you wear gloves or use a stylus.
