I Tested T-Mobile's Satellite Service: The Hardest Part Was Finding a Dead Zone

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-03 20:00:26

Driving the wooded highways of the North Cascades in Washington state, I deliberately pointed my car toward nothing. Specifically, I needed to get out of Seattle to find an area with no cellular coverage so I could try out T-Mobile's new Starlink-based satellite texting service, T-Satellite, with my phone. It was more difficult than I expected. Most areas of the US are covered by some level of cellular service. But that still leaves around 500,000 square miles of wireless dead zones, according

A big problem for Tesla isn't getting much attention

news.ycombinator.com Chris Isidore 2026-01-06 14:44:04

CNN — For years, Tesla has earned billions of dollars from its competitors just for selling electric vehicles. But that windfall is about to go away, just when the company may need it the most. Regulatory credit sales have been a huge source of revenue for the automaker, which currently faces a sales and profit slump. Legacy automakers purchase credits from Tesla to keep selling gas-burning cars that would otherwise violate emission regulations and cost them a fine. But the Republican tax and

The Hunt for a Fundamental Theory of Quantum Gravity

wired.com Charlie Wood 2026-01-10 00:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally interwoven threads of space and time seem to stop short. These mysterious points are known as singularities. Singularities are predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. According to this theory, clumps of matter o

9 Best Coolers WIRED Tested for Every Budget, Any Situation

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2026-01-10 03:07:00

The first thing to consider when buying a cooler is how you're going to use it. If you aren't heading out for days at a time, you probably don't need an expensive high-end cooler. All the coolers we've recommend above are capable of holding things at a safe temperature for a day, provided you keep them in the shade. Similarly, if you're navigating rugged terrain, you might want beefy wheels—and if you're just going to the beach, you might not need them. Hard-sided coolers: These range from the

A New Geometry for Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Kunzinger and Sämann wanted to use their new way of estimating curvature to determine whether these singularity theorems would still be valid if they no longer assumed space-time is smooth. Would singularities persist even in rougher, more realistic-looking spaces? It’s important to find out if the smoothness condition can be waived, Sämann said, because doing so would bring the theorems closer to physical reality. After all, he added, “we believe non-smoothness is an inescapable part of the nat

There are countless Android-powered gaming handhelds, but they go beyond the usual slate of Android games by offering console emulation support. The problem is the game ROMs on these devices, which are not entirely legal.

T-Mobile’s US Cellular acquistion has been approved: What happened, and what’s next?

T-Mobile will gain US Cellular’s customers, stores, and spectrum, while US Cellular will keep its towers and focus on leasing them out.
