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.

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
