That’s No Moon, That’s Lego’s October Releases

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-02 12:30:14

A new month is upon us, and for Lego, a new record: the release of the most expensive Lego set ever made (so far, at least), in the new Star Wars UCS Death Star. But while a very big disc might be overshadowing what else is on the way this month, it’s not the only thing coming from Lego. October might be a “quiet” month for the brick-builder, 9,023-piece Death Stars aside, but there are still a few highlights beyond the superweapon-shaped elephant in the room.

T-Mobile's Starlink satellite service now works with a handful of apps

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-03 03:57:33

T-Mobile just announced that its T-Satellite with Starlink service now integrates with several apps . These include AllTrails, AccuWeather, X, WhatsApp and several others. Certain native apps also now integrate with the service, like Google Messages, Apple Music and Samsung's weather app. It's important to note that users won't always have access to the full app experience here, as satellite connectivity is limited. Some features may be limited and everything is likely to be noticeably slower.

Satellite connectivity is restricted to select optimized apps such as WhatsApp, X, AccuWeather, AllTrails, and T-Life, with no support for full web browsing.

Video Chats From Space? T-Mobile's Service Broadens What Apps Can Do Over Satellite

When T-Mobile took its T-Satellite service live during the summer, it teased the ability for developers to adapt their apps to work within the strict data limits required over satellite connections. Then, several apps were able to jump the gun and start working with the Starlink-based service at the launches of the Pixel 10 Pro and the iPhone 17.
