The CK Daily – Top Gun: Maverick
Good Monday Morning!
I feel the need… the need for speed! Only four more days until the much-awaited Top Gun sequel – Top Gun: Maverick comes out. I’m very excited to watch this movie as the original was a favorite when I was a kid. I grew up in and around a few Air Force bases and I had the privilege of going to a few air shows and would always see planes overhead. My father served in the United States Air Force for 20 years.
With Top Gun you not only got to see some awesome planes such as the F-14 Tomcat, but you also got to experience what it was like to be in the cockpit and that made all the difference. The amazing soundtrack (which I owned on cassette tape) also majorly enhanced the film.
From all the buzz around the movie, I’m going to predict Top Gun: Maverick is going to be a wild success and I can’t wait to watch it. Are you all fans of Top Gun? If you haven’t seen it, you can watch the original Top Gun on Netflix.

Learning Center Article – Throughput vs DRAM and Flash Specs
When it comes to designing and managing networks, there is an endless challenge of trying to improve performance. Inevitably, that includes upgrading and replacing hardware. When you research hardware for upgrades and replacements, you’ll see a lot of different tech specs listed in the descriptions.
Two common terms that come up are throughput and bandwidth. You’ll see bandwidth more in advertising spaces, and you’ll see throughput more when you look up real-world tests of the hardware. Why is throughput so important? Why don’t you see more about flash specs?

- Tiger Woods, struggling in his comeback from severe leg injuries sustained in a car crash last year, withdrew from the P.G.A. Championship on Saturday night. Woods had walked down an incline alongside a common practice area bunker, his right leg, which was surgically reconstructed 15 months ago with a rod, pins, and screws, buckled. Woods nearly collapsed into the sand, but quickly used a golf club and a half step with his left leg to remain upright. On the golf course, Woods continued to limp and move slowly and stiffly, descending into a tie for last place on the tournament leaderboard at 12-over par.
