T-Mobile outage tests limits of Starlink-backed backup network

A nationwide T-Mobile outage left customers without service for hours, prompting questions about the Starlink-backed T-Satellite backup. Some users reported difficulties connecting to T-Satellite during the outage, while others managed to connect; T-Mobile frames T-Satellite as a complementary feature rather than a replacement for cellular service, and CEO Srini Gopalan has cited extremely low usage (about 0.0002–0.0003% of total network traffic). Starlink connectivity also requires a clear view of the sky, which can limit access in certain locations.

Three persistent Pixel 10 Pro flaws that finally pushed me to switch

After about ten months with the Pixel 10 Pro, the author loves parts of the experience but is switching due to ongoing issues: unreliable network connectivity that causes dropped calls and WhatsApp problems, frequent overheating with unclear causes, and inconsistent charging and battery life that erodes trust and forces him to carry a backup device—making daily use unsustainable despite strong cameras and software.

Android 17 rollout disrupts 5G on Pixel phones, fixes coming

Android 17's stable rollout is causing 5G dropouts on multiple Pixel models (including the Pixel 9 Pro/XL, 8 Pro, 8a, and 6a), with some users also reporting missing eSIMs and Wi‑Fi reconnect issues; Google is expected to fix the modem in the next monthly security patch, and quick workarounds like Reset Mobile Network Settings or Repair Mode can restore speeds in the meantime.

Huang Bets Marvell as the Next AI-Chip Leader Aiming for a $1 Trillion Valuation

Huang Bets Marvell as the Next AI-Chip Leader Aiming for a $1 Trillion Valuation

Motley Fool reports Jensen Huang publicly branded Marvell Technology as the next AI-chip stock likely to reach a $1 trillion market cap, citing Marvell’s role in high-speed networking, optical interconnects, and custom silicon that tie GPU clusters together in hyperscale data centers. With AI capex expanding, connectivity is emerging as a key bottleneck, placing Marvell at the center of the AI infrastructure stack. While the company could see meaningful earnings growth if it continues to win in networking and custom silicon, achieving a $1 trillion valuation would require sustained top-line expansion and multiple re-rating, and Fool notes Marvell isn’t currently among its top Stock Advisor picks.

Ancient Scottish Burial Reveals Brain Removal and Bone Tools in Iron Age Rituals

Ancient Scottish Burial Reveals Brain Removal and Bone Tools in Iron Age Rituals

A 2,000-year-old burial at Loch Borralie in northern Scotland shows an older woman’s skull with brain-removal markings and arm bones whittled into tools placed back in the grave, alongside a nearby adolescent whose remains were unmodified. The researchers say the motivation is unclear, with brain removal possibly tied to cannibalism or skull display. Ancient DNA links Individual 1 and a ~15-year-old Individual 2 as second cousins and connects them to other prehistoric Scottish sites, suggesting Iron Age maritime networks and long-distance social ties across the north coast of Britain.

Marvell: Connectivity to become the next AI bottleneck, backed by Nvidia’s trillion-dollar bet

At Computex, Marvell CEO Matt Murphy argues data center connectivity will be the next major AI bottleneck as demand for compute and memory surges; Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang backs the view, revealing a $2 billion investment in Marvell and calling it the next trillion-dollar company, with Marvell now deriving about 75% of revenue from data centers and a market cap near $192 billion.

Connectivity over conquest: human networks may have edge over Neanderthals, study says

Researchers modeling ancient Europe show Homo sapiens survived Neanderthals not through brains or brawn but via more interconnected populations enabling resource and information exchange during climate shifts 35,000–60,000 years ago. Neanderthals’ smaller, scattered groups were more vulnerable, with only limited overlap between the lineages, suggesting networks—and not direct competition—helped sapiens prevail. Modern non-Africans carry a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA, but the study highlights networks as the key factor in our species’ rise.

Galaxy Phones Gain Direct Satellite Access With App Support

Samsung has published a list of satellite-ready apps that can work on Galaxy devices even without cellular coverage, enabled through carrier partnerships in Europe, Japan, and North America. Galaxy S22+ and newer models generally support direct satellite connectivity (with some markets also supporting select Galaxy A series), and service varies by country. Current satellite-ready apps include Find My Mobile, Google Maps, Google Play Services, WhatsApp, Samsung Account, Samsung Health, Weather, and X (Twitter), among others.

Patchwork Returns: Iran’s Internet Flows Back in Fragments as Costs Mount

Iran has eased but not ended its broad internet blackout, with Telegram channels returning and some services like Google, Bing, and ChatGPT surfacing in a patchwork, province‑by‑province manner. Traffic remains uneven and throttled, indicating ongoing control rather than a full restoration. Officials estimate daily costs of up to $36 million, and authorities have signaled the restrictions could last until Nowruz in March as they fine‑tune the system.
