The past few days have put satellite mobile services in the spotlight. But while SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile, and traditional carriers are vying for a bigger role in space, customers don’t seem all that eager to try the tech. Why might that be? Pricey and unnecessary When we asked our readers what was stopping them from signing up for T-Satellite — which is also open to AT&T and Verizon customers — price (34%) and simply never needing the service (33%) were the top reasons for the 907 respondents. Meanwhile, 20% believed the service was overrated, and 13% are holding out for their own carrier to…

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani admits that he’s not a gamer. (He has, however, dabbled in Sim City and FIFA, and thrown a Mario Kart reference out there while discussing policy.) Today, though, he took the podium on the gamer’s streaming service of choice for a new Twitch show called “Talk with the People,” to answer questions from New Yorkers. No, he didn’t play any video games, but the chat was still telling him to hop on Minecraft, Fortnite, and Undertale in between the bots spamming nonsense and New Yorkers actually trying to ask the mayor a question. He also said he…
Samsung may have decided to discontinue its clamshell foldables, making the Galaxy Z Flip 8 the last in its line. At a glance, that’s a shocking move that doesn’t make any sense, but once you look a little deeper, everything starts adding up.While it’s true that Samsung is the global leader in the foldable smartphone market, its lead is not all that big. The company has a 40% market share, against a 30% share for Huawei, despite selling its phones practically everywhere around the world.Meanwhile, Huawei is second in the global market despite all the limitations that make its phones…
Leah Feiger: Let’s invest.Zoë Schiffer: They have that going for a while.Leah Feiger: It wasn’t full Google, but it—Zoë Schiffer: Somewhat there.Leah Feiger: —had that vibe. To me, someone so on the outside of this in every single way, I know about these layoffs because they’ve been, A) so chaotic, but B) in some ways, needlessly so. Not to say that other tech companies aren’t firing scores of workers all the time. That feels like something we discuss on this podcast frequently, but this is happening with such a large runway and in a way that’s making employees feel so…
The coming fiscal year is going to be absolutely huge for Take-Two Interactive thanks to GTA VI (still securely planned for a November 19, 2026 release date), and with the usual contributions from Take-Two’s mobile and sports games. Red Dead Redemption 2 also might pull its weight, as it’s now coming off of its best year since launch. But there are two upcoming Take-Two games that you shouldn’t expect to see for at least another 12 months: Judas and BioShock 4. This comes from Take-Two’s Q4 and full-year earnings, posted today, which stated that six games are planned for the…

Other Models We TestedLG 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner for $379: The LG 12,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner offers efficient large-room cooling at a surprisingly low price. It weighs 90 pounds and requires professional installation with a bracket. Its 60-decibel operation places it squarely in the middle of the pack on noise. This said, WIRED reviewer Lisa Wood Shapiro found it blends into a room well with its white-on-white design, and that the filter replacement indicator light is useful. The app was laggy and difficult to use during Wood Shapiro’s testing, but there is a remote.Friedrich Kuhl Air Conditioner for…
The Ergo And Sym, Same Tech In Different Shells be quiet! is now into mice, specifically wireless gaming mice with up to 1000Hz polling and a PixArt PAW3950 sensor. The Dark Perk Ergo and Dark Perk Sym have the same specifications but the Sym is a wee bit longer and better for those that fully grip the mouse. That added size doesn’t change the weight, as KitGuru found both are 0.055kg, better known as 55g or 0.121254lbs for those down south. As you should expect, going with 1000Hz polling does drain the battery quickly but you will still get quite…
Following the announcement that Magic: The Gathering Arena developers were petitioning to form a union last month, Wizards of the Coast has responded not by voluntarily recognizing their union, but by sending letters to employees urging them to think twice. This comes from multiple posts on Bluesky by employees who received the letter. Seemingly penned by former World of Warcraft GM and current WotC president John Hight, it includes a number of lines heavily implying that a unionized workforce would be worse off than a non-union one, including suggestions that workers may end up with worse benefits or wages than…
