The cybersecurity team at T-Mobile has revealed that during... a hacking attempt from a Chinese state-linked group, its engineers physically cut a network cable to stop the intrusion. They chose to disconnect the hardware itself rather than rely on software defenses alone. It is an unusually extreme move for a telecom of that size.show more

This is WILD! A small startup just declared war... on America's most powerful telecom companies and nobody is talking about it. For decades, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have had an iron grip on how Americans connect to the world. They built the towers, they set the prices, and you had no real choice but to pay whatever they demanded. That stranglehold ends today. US Mobile just bundled Starlink satellite home internet together with unlimited wireless service across all three major networks and they are charging under $50 a month for the whole thing. Let that land for a second. You are getting home internet beamed down from space, plus full cellular coverage on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile's networks, all inside one bill that costs less than most people pay for just their phone plan alone. The big carriers have been charging $120 a month just for Starlink residential internet on its own. US Mobile is handing you that same service plus an unlimited phone plan for less than half of that price. This is not a discount carrier cutting corners. US Mobile is an MVNO, a company that leases capacity from all three major networks at wholesale rates and packages them into something the big carriers would never offer, because doing so would cannibalize their own revenue streams. Their internal network names are Warp, Darkstar, and Lightspeed. Those are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, all three, simultaneously available to one customer on one plan. Now they are adding a fourth layer from orbit. Starlink's constellation of low-earth satellites delivers home internet that has already disrupted rural broadband. Bundled with cellular, it means one plan that follows you from your living room to the middle of nowhere. The big carriers saw this threat coming. T-Mobile has been in a satellite partnership with Starlink, but that exclusivity window has expired, meaning SpaceX can now work with anyone. US Mobile was paying attention when everyone else was not. AT&T has bet $15.6 billion on a rival satellite company called AST SpaceMobile just to try to keep up. Verizon has no credible satellite answer at all and now a nine-year-old startup from New York is selling the whole package for under $50 a month.show more

in software, we're entering a new age of skyscrapers:... rather than a small group of humans hand-typing code into a computer, software is now built by thousands of humans and agents working together to build applications at a scale that was previously unthinkable. the unsung heroes of this new era are infrastructure engineers. they are the people who are figuring out how to make software with 100x the amount of code, and 1000x the amount of contributors actually work OpenAI is one of the few companies already operating at this scale so we Every 🪨 spent a few days deep inside of the company to learn how their infrastructure team thinks about building software skyscrapers—and how they use agents to do it one of the most important articles we've written this year:show more

India has carried out the successful launch of Intermediate... Range Agni-Prime Missile from a Rail based Mobile launcher system. This next generation missile is designed to cover a range up to 2000 km and is equipped with various advanced features.

Congratulations to DRDO, Strategic Forces Command (SFC) and the Armed Forces on successful test of Intermediate Range Agni-Prime missile. This successful flight test has put India in the group of select nations having capabilities that have developed canisterised launch system from on the move rail network.show more

A new 'Jesus-centric' mobile network is launching in the... US and it plans to block LGBTQ+ content. Radiant Mobile says its service will filter more than 100 categories of online material, including p***, gaming and violence. But it will also give users the option to block content related to LGBTQ+ and trans issues. Founder Paul Fisher said the goal is to create an online space, saying in an interview with MIT Technology Review, “we are going to create—and we think we have every right to do so—an environment that is Jesus-centric... [that is] void of LGBT, void of trans.” The network operates as a mobile virtual network operator, using infrastructure from T-Mobile, and has reportedly partnered with churches and Christian influencers to promote the service.show more

Elon Musk is building a data center that no... grid has to power and no county has to approve. Musk: “Think of it as a rack of compute in space.” Orbital hardware has always been custom. Each satellite is its own program, its own team, its own decade. SpaceX’s AI1 satellites are copies of each other. Each is built around a single Nvidia NVL72, the same rack-scale architecture running the largest data centers on the ground, redesigned to fly. Space stops being a program and becomes an inventory. Designing for orbit made the rack simpler and cheaper than the ground version, so SpaceX plans to run the space design in terrestrial data centers too. Racks alone have never made a data center. A thousand of them in a building with no network between them is a thousand computers. The interconnect is what turns them into one machine. Training a frontier model means moving enormous volumes of data between processors without pause, and the whole system runs at the speed of its slowest link. That is why the fabric between chips is fought over as hard as the chips themselves. Musk: “And then you can connect these racks of compute to either each other by the laser links, or directly to the Starlink constellation.” Light moves through glass at about two thirds of its speed in a vacuum, and fiber optic cable is glass. Every backbone route and undersea cable on Earth pays that tax. A laser between two satellites pays nothing. Over long distances, an orbital link arrives sooner than the same run in fiber. Orbit was supposed to be a trade, unlimited power in exchange for a worse network. The network is faster. The compute plugs into a delivery layer that is already finished. Thousands of satellites are up there right now carrying laser links, terminating at ground stations and dishes across most of the planet. The last mile was built years before the thing it delivers existed. Anyone else attempting this needs the rocket, the satellite bus, the solar manufacturing, the laser mesh, the ground network, and a supply line to a chipmaker. SpaceX had five of them before the project had a name. None of it was built for this. Starlink existed to sell internet subscriptions. The lasers existed so those subscriptions would work over open ocean. Starship existed for Mars. Nobody planned this. It assembled itself out of problems solved for other reasons. That is what twenty years of hard engineering leaves behind. Every previous expansion of human capability ran on a resource sitting inside somebody’s borders. Coal, oil, water, land. Sunlight in orbit belongs to nobody and never runs out. Compute still has an address. A building in Virginia, a substation, a county that had to approve it, a grid connection someone waited four years for. He is describing a version that only has an altitude.show more

“Zionists aim was to change the Jewish Identity. They... wanted to transform the Jewish people from religion to a nationality.” Israel was founded by a nationalistic movement that replaces the Jewish religion with Zionism. They wanted Jews to forget of G-d and Religion, & be united by land and language. To date, they have raised generations of Israelis who have a deep hatred for traditional Jews & Judaism The only responsibility for the dead Jews and Muslims is the racist and usurper government of the Zionist state of Israel. Israel is not the country of the Jews. Jews don't need a state. There is something that Zionists ignore: Jews already have many countries in the world where they live. Judaism is not a nationality. Judaism is a religion. Israel can call itself a Zionist state or a Herzlston state, but it cannot call itself a Jewish state.show more

MOTHER ELEPHANT TOPPLES EV CHARGER AFTER CALF BECOMES TANGLED... IN CABLE A young elephant that became entangled in a charging-station cable in China’s Pu’er prefecture was protected by its mother. A family of wild elephants wandered onto an electric-vehicle charging site during the night. One curious calf approached a charging unit too closely and became caught in the cable. Although the animal managed to free itself, the mother immediately struck the device with her trunk and overturned it. The herd then continued its journey at a leisurely pace.show more
