Verizon's network appears to be having technical issues that are impacting calls and wireless data. Verizon customers on X have reported seeing "SOS" rather than the traditional network bars on their smartphones, and even the network provider's own status page is struggling to load during the outage.
Based on the experience of Verizon users on Engadget's staff, the services that are impacted appear to be calls and wireless data. Text messages continue to be delivered normally, at least for some users. On DownDetector, reports of a Verizon outage started growing around 12PM ET and numbered in the hundreds of thousands at their peak.
DownDetector also shows spikes in outage reports on competing networks like AT&T and T-Mobile, but in terms of magnitude, they're much smaller than the issue Verizon is facing. For example, Verizon peaked at 181,769 reports, while AT&T's was just 1,769 reports. The difference between the two is great enough that those AT&T reports could be from people trying to contact Verizon customers and thinking that their personal network was the problem.

We're almost exactly halfway through January, but Nintendo has clearly taken a better-late-than-never approach to its 2025 year in review feature, which finally went live this week for Switch and Switch 2 users. All you need to do is head here and sign into your Nintendo account to see your 2025 breakdown.
Like most annual gaming wrap-ups, Nintendo's shows how many games you played over the calendar year, as well as your total playtime. It also shows you your most-played titles for each month, your preferred genres by percentage, and if you scroll all the way to the bottom you can choose your favorite game of the year. You can also download a shareable image that shows off your taste, but there's no way to directly share your results on social media through the website.
2025 was a massive year for Nintendo, with the Switch 2 launching in early June. If you bought one, the year in review site will naturally congratulate you for doing so, but it doesn't separate your results by games you played on the original Switch versus its successor.
Nintendo's rivals went live with their own 2025 recap features in December. First came Sony's, which is unfortunately no longer live, and Steam followed shortly after. That one is still available to view if

A new year is the perfect time to get your spending in order, and if you're not trying to build your own spreadsheet, budgeting apps are one of the best ways to do it. To save yourself some money in the process, you can pick up a year-long subscription to Monarch Money, one of Engadget's favorite budgeting apps, for just $50 if you use code NEWYEAR2026 at checkout and you're a new subscriber. That's a 50 percent discount on the service's normal $100 price.
Monarch Money makes for a capable and detailed budgeting companion. You can use the service via apps for iOS, Android, iPadOS or the web, and Monarch also offers a Chrome extension that can sync your Amazon and Target transactions and automatically categorize them. Like other budgeting apps, Monarch Money lets you connect multiple financial accounts and track your money based on where you spend it over time. Monarch offers two different approaches to tracking budgeting (flexible and category budgeting) depending on what fits your life best, and the ability to add a budget widget on your phone so you can know how you're tracking that month.

LG opened CES 2026 by outlining its vision to reduce the physical effort and mental burden of life. Buy enough of the devices it's presently working on and you'll exist in an environment of "ambient care," coddled by the machinery in your home. It sounds positively utopian: When the sensors in your bed know you've not slept well and are getting a cold, a robot will wake you with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. When you're in a rush to get to work, the robot will make you a sandwich for you to eat on the go, sparing you the effort of making it yourself. The more I roamed the halls of the show after that, the more I couldn't help feeling uneasy about what so many companies here were pitching. To me, the vision of the future on show here is equal parts solitary and infantilized.
There's obvious reasons for this: AI swallowed the tech industry's oxygen, sapping any chance of innovation in consumer hardware. The advent of Panther Lake is a win for Intel, but it's not going to enable dramatic changes in how people work with their PCs on a daily basis. The US policy shift away f
