T-Mobile Is the New Mobile Network Champ. I Got a Behind-the-Scenes View Into How It Got There

Last week T-Mobile announced that it's been named the Best Mobile Network in the US by Ookla, marking the first time the carrier has taken the overall top spot. That's based on half a billion real-world usage tests conducted over a six-month period. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) During a live event at its Tech Experience Hub in Bellevue, Washington, T-Mobile also announced a July 23 commercial launch date for T-Satellite, its Starlink-based satell

If you’re a founder looking to grow your startup, chances are you’re wrestling with more than just product or capital. Talent, scale, and smart execution are the real battlegrounds.

Rob Biederman, managing partner at Asymmetric Capital Partners and one of the sharpest minds in talent, tech, and scaling strategy, will share his insights in a roundtable session.

US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders

The US supreme court has supported Donald Trump’s attempt to limit lower-court orders that have so far blocked his administration’s ban on birthright citizenship, in a ruling that could strips federal judges of a power they’ve used to obstruct many of Trump’s orders nationwide. The decision represents a fundamental shift in how US federal courts can constrain presidential power. Previously, any of the country’s more than 1,000 judges in its 94 district courts – the lowest level of federal court

The Trump Phone Is Already a Lot Different From Last Week

Apparently, things change quickly in the world of the Trump phone. It’s been 10 days since the Trump Organization announced it would be launching the $499 T1 smartphone, and in that time there have already been a confusing series of changes to a product that was initially supposed to be arriving as soon as August. Now, you can only expect it “later this year,” according to the most recent update of the Trump Mobile website, with all mention of it “coming soon” gone. That is not the only change.

Only 2 exhibitor tables up for grabs at TechCrunch All Stage — claim by June 29

This is not a drill. If your startup exists to power the growth of other startups or is the kind of innovation tech leaders need to see firsthand, your moment is now. TechCrunch All Stage hits Boston’s SoWa Power Station on July 15 — and just 2 exhibitor tables remain. Yes, only two, and only until June 29. Tables for TC All Stage have been flying, and this is truly your last chance to claim your place in front of founders and investors across all stages. Ways that exhibiting amplifies your br

James Wan Offers a Mildly Discouraging Update on That ‘Train to Busan’ Remake

Released in 2016, Yeon Sang-ho‘s Train to Busan proved there were still plenty of fresh thrills to be mined from the zombie genre. It spawned an animated prequel and a sequel, and nobody was surprised when an American remake, to be titled The Last Train to New York, was announced. A 2023 release date made things official… almost. Obviously, The Last Train to New York—which at one point had Timo Tjahjanto (May the Devil Take You, this year’s Nobody 2) attached to direct and Gary Dauberman (It an

Transmitting data via ultrasound without any special equipment

There are secret messages flying all around you all the time, being transmitted via, most of the time, electromagnetic waves going from antenna to antenna. ELOs “Secret Messages” is a song about posting conspiracy theories via WiFi. But what if you need to get a few bytes from device A to device B (one of the hard problems in computer science!) and you don’t feel like making sure they’re both connected to the same network? Well, fortunately, another channel is available to us - sound, or for a

The first mobile phone, the Motorola DynaTAC debuted in 1983. What was its price?

Choose wisely! The correct answer, the explanation, and an intriguing story await. Correct Answer: $3,995 The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, released in 1983, was a groundbreaking innovation in the history of telecommunications. It was the first commercially available handheld mobile phone, launching a new era in personal communication. At its debut, the DynaTAC was priced at $3,995 – equivalent to more than $12,500 in 2025 dollars when adjusted for inflation--the DynaTAC was a luxury item accessible

This lesser-known T-Mobile discount may be on its way out the door eventually

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is phasing out its Philo and YouTube TV discount perk, though it might remain available for up to two more years. Customers will now pay Philo directly but receive reimbursement as a T-Mobile account credit. Those affected should monitor future communications from T-Mobile closely, as the offer might end earlier. If you’ve been with T-Mobile for a while, you might recall that it initially tried to break into the TV market with its TVision service

History made as Al claims number one spot among world's top ethical hackers

What just happened? Just a year after its founding, cybersecurity startup Xbow has risen to the top of the HackerOne leaderboard, a platform that ranks the world's most effective bug hunters by the number and severity of vulnerabilities they uncover for major companies. This marks the first time an artificial intelligence system has claimed the number one spot, outpacing thousands of human ethical hackers and security researchers who have traditionally dominated the field. Xbow's rapid ascent i

Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa Review: Gorgeous and Functional

Back in 2020, my colleague Scott Gilbertson tried the Joybird Eliot sofa. And he hated it. Ever since, the Joybird Eliot has been the only pick in the “Avoid” section of our couches buying guide. When Joybird reached out explaining that it had revamped the Eliot (and its customer service—more on that later), I was skeptical about trying it. But I did it for you, reader, and I'm happy to report that after three months of testing, this improved couch earns a passing grade in my book. From Swatch

Trump Mobile Math Doesn't Add Up: We Found Better Phone Plan Deals

When the Trump Organization announced its upcoming gold-hued T1 phone, it threw up a number of red flags for us. There was the poorly Photoshopped image along with technical claims that didn’t add up -- including the boast that the phone would be “designed and built in the United States.” (That claim has since been walked back, without explanation.) The phone was originally expected to launch in September 2025, but there’s currently no confirmed release date. To run the T1 phone, the organizati

New EU rules on digital accessibility to come into force

New EU rules come into force tomorrow which will require websites, apps and devices to be accessible for people with disabilities and older people. If companies fail to comply with the European Accessibility Act they could be hit with fines and even prison sentences for senior staff. Brian Dalton is blind and is a wheelchair user. He is also a senior accessibility test engineer who works with clients to ensure their websites are accessible. Mr Dalton relies on screen reader software to navig

In just 3 months, CoreWeave CEO, once a crypto-mining bro, becomes a deca-billionaire

CoreWeave co-founder and CEO Michael Intrator’s net worth has skyrocketed to about $10 billion in the three months since the AI firm went public, Bloomberg reports. His company’s debut was both the biggest tech IPO so far of 2025 — raising $1.5 billion — and somewhat of a clunker: Its founders had reportedly hoped to raise a lot more — up to $4 billion — and had to skinny their ambitions. CoreWeave still feels a bit like both a success and a house of cards. It offers AI training and inference

The hidden scaling cliff that’s about to break your agent rollouts

Join the event trusted by enterprise leaders for nearly two decades. VB Transform brings together the people building real enterprise AI strategy. Learn more Enterprises that want to build and scale agents also need to embrace another reality: agents aren’t built like other software. Agents are “categorically different” in how they’re built, how they operate, and how they’re improved, according to Writer CEO and co-founder May Habib. This means ditching the traditional software development lif

T-Mobile Data Breach Settlement Checks Are Arriving Finally: Here's the Scoop

Some extra cash would be useful about now, right? Check your bank account -- there may be an unexpected deposit from a company you may not recognize. It could be the money you're due from T-Mobile's 2022 class-action settlement. Those who qualify were told to expect settlement checks in April, but then that was moved to May. And now, in mid-June, as cited by Android Authority, Reddit users are saying they are seeing money in their bank accounts. Some are saying they received $56, but others are

Actively exploited vulnerability gives extraordinary control over server fleets

Hackers are exploiting a maximum-severity vulnerability that has the potential to give them complete control over thousands of servers, many of which handle mission-critical tasks inside data centers, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is warning. The vulnerability, carrying a severity rating of 10 out of a possible 10, resides in the AMI MegaRAC, a widely used firmware package that allows large fleets of servers to be remotely accessed and managed even when power is unavai

Changing one gene can restore some tissue regeneration to mice

Regeneration is a trick many animals, including lizards, starfish, and octopuses, have mastered. Axolotls, a salamander species originating in Mexico, can regrow pretty much everything from severed limbs, through eyes and parts of brain, to the spinal cord. Mammals, though, have mostly lost this ability somewhere along their evolutionary path. Regeneration persisted, in a limited number of tissues, in just a few mammalian species like rabbits or goats. “We were trying to learn how certain anima

Best Internet Providers in Omaha, Nebraska

What is the best internet provider in Omaha, Nebraska? Omaha isn't the best place when it comes to fiber options, but you can still get dependable and fairly decent internet speeds. That's why CNET recommends Cox Communications as the best internet service provider in Omaha. Cox was the only ISP in town for high-speed internet for a long time. But things have changed now. There are a few more solid options to check out for you and your family. When you're picking an internet provider, think ab

Shifts in diatom and dinoflagellate biomass in the North Atlantic over 6 decades

Abstract The North Atlantic Ocean has large seasonal blooms rich in diatoms and dinoflagellates which can contribute disproportionately relative to other primary producers to export production and transfer of resources up the food web. Here we analyze data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder to reconstruct variation in the surface ocean diatom and dinoflagellate community biomass over 6 decades across the North Atlantic. We find: 1) diatom and dinoflagellate biomass has decreased up to 2% per

Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself

Due to the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, our planet’s crust is constantly recycled, making rocks and minerals from its earliest days incredibly rare. That’s frustrating for geologists, since surface-level Hadean rocks (rocks older than 4.03 billion years) could provide significant insight into the first geological stages of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. In a study published today in Early Earth, researchers from Canada and France suggest that the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (NGB)—a

Apple’s weighing major shift to prove it’s serious about theatrical movies

Apple’s biggest theatrical gamble ever, the $250 million F1 The Movie, arrives in US theaters tonight. On the heels of its release, a new report reveals that the company is weighing a big move that would prove it’s serious about theatrical. Apple might start its own theatrical distribution unit, per WSJ Ben Fritz and Joe Flint write at The Wall Street Journal: Apple hasn’t invested in the capacity to release and advertise its own movies, as Amazon did when it acquired MGM.

Here’s why I would avoid the big carrier stores in 2025

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Although the three main carriers have significantly increased costs over the past few years, until recently, they still stood out from prepaid services in several major ways. As I pointed out in another recent feature, that’s less true in 2025. Not only have perks and extras worsened, but recent moves have also undermined one of the biggest advantages postpaid carriers previously held: the presence of physical stores. Personally, I’ve been shopping without i

Easier not being green: Why I ditched Bissell for the Tineco CARPET ONE Cruiser

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’ll admit it — I’m pretty new to the carpet life. Having spent most of my adulthood in apartment buildings, I just accepted laminate and tile as ways of life. Now that I live in a house, though, I have a couple of new surfaces to worry about. I have rugs from room to room and carpet throughout my living area, and I’ve quickly learned that a weekly pass with a vacuum is like trying to fight a fire with a teacup. So, I decided it was time to venture into the wide
