REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) -Starlink is experiencing a network outage, Elon Musk's SpaceX-owned satellite internet company said on Thursday, with Downdetector showing that the service was down for thousands of users. "Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution," it said in a post on X. The service will be restored soon, Musk said on X. "SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn't happen again." The service appeared to have experienced a "total outage" beginning around 3:13 p.m., according to Doug Madory, an expert at the internet analysis firm Kentik. The outage is global and Starlink is not carrying any traffic right now, Madory told Reuters. He said such a sweeping interruption in service was unusual. "They haven't had one like this in a long time." There were 25,767 incidents of people reporting issues with the service as of 4.18 p.m. ET, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources.

Intel to slash workforce by year-end as it forecasts steeper losses than expected
FILE PHOTO: A smartphone with a displayed Intel logo is placed on a computer motherboard in this illustration created on March 6, 2023. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) -Intel said on Thursday it plans to slash its headcount to 75,000 by the end of this year, down from 99,500 at the end of 2024. The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker disclosed the layoff goals as itforecast steeper third-quarter losses than Wall Street estimates on Thursday, despite anticipatinghigher sales than analysts expected while new CEO Lip-Bu Tan steers the company through a historic turnaround. The outlook comes as investors pushed Intel's shares up 14% this year, in the hopes of Tan undoing years of strategic mistakes that have exempted the company from the AI boom dominated by Nvidia. The company said it expects a third-quarter loss of 24cents per share, steeper than estimates of losses of 18 cents per share, according to data from LSEG. Intel expects revenue of $12.6 billion to $13.6 billion for the September quarter, with a midpoint of $13.1 billion that was higher than analysts' average estimate of $12.65 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Growth in the PC market is uncertain after customers pulled shipments forward to the first half of the year amid ongoing trade negotiations, analysts have said. Shipments of PCs rose 6.5% in the June quarter according to data from International Data Corporation. While semiconductors are currently exempt from U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs, Intel and its fellow chipmakers are facing customers who are reluctant aboutspending commitments amid widespread macroeconomic uncertainty. Intel's second-quarter revenue for the period ended June 28 was flat at $12.9 billion,snapping a four-quarter streak of sales declines. The result beat estimates of $11.92 billion, according to LSEG data. CEO Tan has been focusing on a next-generation chipmaking process called 14A to win big external customers, shifting away from 18A, a technology that his predecessor Pat Gelsinger had spent billions of dollars to develop, Reuters has reported. Tan has also focused on streamlining the organization and reducing its workforce. In April, Intel agreed to sell a 51% stake in its Altera programmable chip business for $4.46 billion. Intel said job cuts contributed to restructuring costs of $1.9 billion in the second quarter. It recorded June quarter adjusted losses of 10 cents per share, compared with estimates of a profit of 1 cent per share. Its unadjusted loss was 67 cents per share in the second quarter, steeper than analyst estimates of a 26-cent-per-share loss. (Reporting by Arsheeya Bajwa in Bengaluru; Max A.
