T-Mobile rural coverage has suddenly improved for some over the weekend, what’s behind it?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile customers are now roaming on US Cellular’s network after the recent acquisition, boosting coverage in many rural areas, especially across the Midwest. For now, US Cellular towers show up as extended roaming with no extra charges, but the networks will fully merge in the coming months for a more seamless experience. The deal could potentially hurt Verizon and AT&T, which relied on US Cellular roaming in rural regions—T-Mobile may eventually cu

I Tried Inzone's New Gaming Mouse. It Made My Aim Better

During a heated game of Marvel Rivals, my team raids the Asgard throne room. An enemy healer playing Dagger is in the distance, working their way down the stairs to the control point, so my job as Punisher is to pull hard and focus fire on them as soon as possible. My aim tracks their movement and I whittle away their health bar before they can retreat behind a pillar, securing an important elimination to start the fight. I owe my success in that scuffle to the Inzone Mouse-A, a wireless gaming

China's Getting Ready to Land Astronauts on the Moon While NASA Flails Helplessly

This ‘Elio’ Deleted Scene Hints at an Alternate Version of the Movie

California’s Next ‘Big One’ Might Not Follow the Script

On March 28, a devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake rocked Myanmar, splitting the Sagaing Fault at speeds of over 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) per second. You know which other fault resembles the Sagaing one? The San Andreas Fault in California, where seismologists have been expecting “the big one” for years. In a study published on August 11 in the journal PNAS, a team of researchers used satellite images of the Sagaing Fault’s movement to enhance computer models that predict how similar faults mi

Nissan announces 2026 Leaf pricing, starting at $29,990

There's a new Nissan Leaf coming later this year. The third of its kind to bear the name, it sounds like an appealing upgrade. Smaller than the current model on the outside but with more room inside, it's also more efficient and finally uses a liquid-cooled battery. But we knew all that back at the start of summer. What we didn't know then was how much the Leaf will cost. As we noted back in June, pricing is most likely to determine the Leaf's success or failure. None of the improvements to thi

Despite its attempt to appeal, T-Mobile must pay $92m for failing to protect customer location data

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A D.C. court upheld a $92 million FCC fine against T-Mobile for failing to protect customer location data. The ruling follows broader FCC fines issued in 2024 against AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, ranging from $47M to $92M. T-Mobile argued the FCC misinterpreted the law and violated its rights but lost; the company says it stopped sharing location data over six years ago. Another day, another set of fines for the big carriers. This time, as first reported

Tesla offers a $350 retrofit turn signal stalk after removing it from the Model 3

Leave it to Tesla to charge its customers for a feature it purposely left out. The company is now selling an almost $350 retrofit turn signal stalk for its Model 3 cars after removing from the initial model. Instead, it used buttons to activate the turn signal. As of now, the add-on is only available in the Chinese market. But, Model 3 drivers will need to shell out another 2,499 yuan ($348) to get a normal part of almost every car.
