Verizon outage: Voice and data services down for many customers
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.

How to turn off a VPN on iPhone
Look, virtual private networks are great — I wouldn't have made a list of the best VPNs if I didn't recommend using them. But being able to control your own technology is also important. A VPN can provide protection and peace of mind when used properly, but you may not want it active on your phone all the time.

For example: Are your Google search results suddenly in German? That's one example of what can happen if you leave your virtual location set to Berlin or Vienna. Or maybe a VPN you installed for work or to watch a single tennis match is persistently trying to keep itself active.

The point is, deactivating a VPN on an iPhone can sometimes be unusually tricky, because there's more than one off switch. Fortunately, it's not hard. There are several easy ways to disconnect from an iOS VPN or delete it entirely. If you catch it turning itself back on, I'll show you how to stop that too.

Three ways to turn off your iPhone VPNI'm using a fluid definition of "turn off" here. Some of the steps below simply disconnect the VPN, while others remove it from your phone altogether. I'll make it clear in each section what the outcome will be.

How to disconnect in the VPN appThis is the easiest way to turn off a VPN on your iPhone. First, find the VPN app that's active, which should be on your home screen somewhere. Each app has a different interface for connec

The Nintendo Switch 2025 year in review is finally here
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

Tesla's Full Self-Driving is switching to a subscription-only service
Tesla will stop selling its $8,000 Full Self-Driving (FSD) option and make it strictly a monthly subscription service after February 14, CEO Elon Musk announced on his X platform. Musk didn't reveal the price or why he's making the switch, though FSD is already available by subscription for $99 per month or $999 per year. 

The shift could be advantageous for buyers, particularly if they decide to dump their new Tesla or trade it in. It will also allow prospective owners to hedge their bets, as Tesla has overpromised on the feature since it was first announced.

CES 2026 offered a lonely vision of the future
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
