Microsoft Azure: "Multiple international subsea cables were cut in the Red Sea"

Increased network latency on traffic routes through the Middle East Starting at 05:45 UTC on 06 September 2025, network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea. Network traffic is not interrupted as Microsoft has rerouted traffic through alternate network paths. We do expect higher latency on some traffic that previously traversed through the Middle East. Network traffic that does not traverse through the Middle East

Herdling is a serene and adorable way to unwind

is a senior reporter covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Herdling is a slow game about herding fuzzy animals through a vibrant natural world. That may not sound particularly exciting, but I found it to be a perfect game to unwind with after a stressful day. In Herdling, you play as a kid who makes friends with and shepherds large fluffy creatures called Calicorns, which kind of look like a mix of a sheep and a woolly mammoth. T

Perfect Girl Deadline reports K-pop star Jeon Somi is set make her acting debut alongside previously announced cast members Arden Cho (KPop Demon Hunters) and Adeline Rudolph (Mortal Kombat II) in Perfect Girl, a horror-thriller described as”Scream meets Black Swan.” Naturally, the story concerns “a brand-new K-Pop super group preparing for the

BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder

Table of Contents BougeRV Electric Foldable Wagon Review: Haul Smarter, Not Harder I've used my fair share of hand trucks, dollies and carts over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I got to try out an electric, foldable wagon from BougeRV. Given how much time I spend covering micromobility, this $400 wagon didn't feel too far off my usual territory. What's the difference between the BougeRV and a regular wagon? Simply put, it has a battery-powered motor to do the heavy lifting for yo

The best streaming deals: Get one year of Paramount+ for $30, plus save on YouTubeTV, Disney+ and more

Whether you’re a true cord-cutter or you just want to watch the next season of Stranger Things when it drops, everyone’s on the lookout for streaming deals nowadays. Plenty have chosen VOD and live TV streaming services over traditional cable in recent years, but the savings that choice got you just a few years ago have somewhat evaporated now. Companies like Netflix, Disney, Max and others have been consistently raising prices to the point where you may question if streaming is even worth it an

Get a First Glimpse at ‘Stranger Things’ Star’s Upcoming Horror ‘The Swallow’

Deadline has a first look at the new monster movie starring 'Stranger Things' star Grace Van Dien. Deadline has our first look at The Swallow, a brand-new monster movie starring Stranger Things‘ Grace Van Dien (who is yes, the daughter of the great Casper Van Dien) and directed by 2019’s Pet Sematary directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. That’s all well and good, but what makes The Swallow especially notable? Well, per the synopsis, it sounds a heck of a lot like Tremors, except in the woo

The Middle Earth

One of the most engaging books I have read this year is A Little Learning: A Victorian Childhood, by the novelist Winifred Peck (1882-1962). Looking back from the 1950s, Peck describes her education at a number of different schools in the last decades of the 19th century – a time when the opportunities available to women, and ideas about how girls should be educated, were changing very rapidly. Though she came from a scholarly and successful family (her father was a bishop), Peck’s chequered ed

This newish Kindle feature compensates for my terrible memory

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Like anyone who hates picking out new books, I absolutely love a good series. A lineup of three to five books off a single decision is just efficient. Yet, keeping storylines straight between installments isn’t always seamless. To that end, Kindle Recaps might be the most underrated tool on my e-reader. The feature quietly solves a very real problem for anyone who juggles long series, busy schedules, or a brain that just can’t keep every plot twist straight. H

I want to ditch my Kindle, but one feature keeps stopping me

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I love my Kindle, but it isn’t always within arm’s reach. Like a lot of readers, I don’t just use one device; I use whichever one fits my context. I often read on an eReader, but via the Kindle app, I’m also highly likely to finish a chapter on my phone in the grocery store or listen to an epilogue in the car. That’s where Whispersync comes in. Whispersync is the secret sauce that makes Amazon’s Kindle ecosystem work so well together. And no matter how badly

Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi Review: A Top-Tier Light and Security Camera

2025 Smart home cameras are just better when they’re wired. Yes, it’s a pain in the ass to install them, but if you can manage it, you’ll never have to change a battery or climb a ladder to get a camera down and charge it, or wait very long for its video feed to load in an app. If they’ve got a wired internet connection, all the better, but as Wi-Fi cameras with wired power go, the $220 Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi camera is one of the best. The Elite Floodlight WiFi reminds me a lot of Googl

Why did dlclose not unload the library? (2023)

Recently, at work, we were debugging an issue where dlclose was not unloading the library . You might wonder why that even matters - if your library contains any global symbols, then their state will persist across a dlopen, dlclose sequence. In other words, your library isn’t starting from a clean state every time. In the case we were debugging, this issue manifested in the following fashion: We had two libraries libA and libB and libA dynamically depends on libB. When you dlopen libA, it also

Libby is hands down my favorite part of using my Kindle

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority As a kid, my library handed out tokens for every chapter kids read as part of a summer reading program. At the end of the season, those tokens turned into currency for spending at a karaoke BBQ, with games and toys up for grabs. I’ll never get over the trauma of singing American Pie (I had not realized just how painfully long that song really is), but I will always foster the same love for mass consumption of oversized chapter books. Fast-forward a few decades

Trying to get error backtraces in Rust libraries right

Error handling in Rust is one of those topics that can spark passionate debates in the community. After wrestling with various approaches in the iroh codebase, the team has developed some insights about the current state of error handling, the tradeoffs involved, and how to get the best of both worlds. The Great Error Handling Divide The Rust ecosystem has largely coalesced around two main approaches to error handling: The anyhow approach: One big generic error type that can wrap anything. It

Why my 12-year-old Kindle is still my favorite piece of tech

I’m a tech guy with plenty of gadgets I use regularly. These include my phone, tablet, smartwatch, Bluetooth speaker, laptop, headphones, earbuds, and more. But when I look at my electronics lineup, one device sticks out as a symbol of what great technology should be. It was cheap, is old, but still looks almost as new, and I have no reason whatsoever to buy a new one. It’s my Kindle, and I love everything about it.

Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

This Is No Illusion—Just the Best Wildlife Photo Entries of the Year

Can you spot the second coyote in the image above? It may look like this amber-eyed pup is peering out from beneath his own tail, but that’s actually his sister’s.

PopSockets PopCase Kindle Hands-On (2025): Easy Reading

If you're into accessories for your e-reader, then you probably already know about PopSockets. It's a popular grip attachment that's been around for years, originally designed for smartphones with a Kickstarter that launched back in 2012. That's still the PopGrips' main use, but plenty of people stick them on the back of a Kindle case to make their Kindle easier to hold. That used to require either a sticker or getting a magnetic adapter to get your PopSockets to stick to your Kindle or Kindle c
