Titanium Court is a seemingly confusing mixture of many different genres. I can’t get enough.
After Jeff Bezos lost one of AST’s giant space-based cell towers last weekend, the FCC has stepped up with some good news by approving its commercial license. AST can now operate a constellation of up to 248 satellites in low Earth orbit in order to deliver space-based cellular broadband to everyday smartphones.

Fairphone reports its smartphone shipments grew by 42 percent in 2025, no mean feat when the rest of the industry has been fairly flat. I thought last year’s Fairphone 6 was a huge step forward in quality, and it’s a good time for its efforts to expand into the US.
Anthropic’s cybersecurity-focused AI model found 271 bugs in Firefox 150, Mozilla CTO Bobby Holley said, calling Claude Mythos Preview “every bit as capable” as top security researchers. Reassuringly, Mozilla hasn’t “seen any bugs that couldn’t have been found by an elite human researcher,” either.
Once championed by the Trump family after heavily bankrolling their crypto ambitions, Justin Sun is now unhappy with his chosen bedfellows.
