X down: How to solve issues with posts, replies and DMs on Twitter amid massive outage?
X, platform formerly known as Twitter, was down for thousands worldwide. Several social media users reported issues with posts, replies and DMs. The Elon Musk-led company is yet to respond to the outage.
Here are actionable steps to address issues with posts, replies, and DMs during the ongoing outage:
Visit Downdetector to confirm if the issue is widespread.
Posts and Replies: Refresh the page or app to reload the timeline. If posts or replies don't load, wait a few minutes and try again, as servers may be overloaded.
DMs: If messages fail to send, close the app or browser, reopen, and attempt resending. Users reported intermittent DM functionality, with some success after retries.
Clear your browser or app cache to eliminate corrupted data interfering with functionality. On browsers (Chrome, Firefox), go to Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data. On the X app, navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Cache.
Restart your device after clearing cache to ensure changes take effect.
Try a Different Browser or App: If the mobile app fails, access X via a browser (eg, Chrome, Safari) or vice versa.
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, as network-specific issues may persist. If X works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, your home network could be the problem. Try a different Wi-Fi network or use a proxy to bypass regional restrictions.
Some users see 'You are rate limited' errors, a feature X uses to curb spam. The daily tweet limit is 2,400 for most accounts, but outages can trigger false flags. Wait 5–10 minutes before retrying, or check if your account is flagged for unusual activity.

After a temporary truce, Airtel and Reliance Jio take on Musk's Starlink once again
NEW DELHI: The temporary truce that domestic telecom majors Airtel and Reliance Jio struck with Elon Musk's satcom venture Starlink has been disturbed. The local telecom operators have raised questions over Trai's recommendations regarding spectrum allocation to satcom companies and alleged that they are 'non-transparent and non-justifiable', and favour satellite companies over the homegrown terrestrial operators. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the body representing the local companies, claimed that much against Trai's assumption that satcom will be a fringe player with a business case only in network-unserved areas and rural regions, the 'reality' is that it will compete with the terrestrial networks. 'These recommendations thus create a substantial regulatory arbitrage as they fail to appreciate that in reality, satellite communication services are fast emerging as full-fledged competitors in the broadband market and the leading NGSO (non-geostationary satellite orbits) constellations are actively targeting retail and enterprise users in all geographies, including urban and well-connected regions,' COAI DG Lt. Gen. (Retd) SP Kochhar said. COAI claimed that Trai did not take into account inputs provided by the local players before coming out with its recommendations that are now being considered by the telecom ministry. 'These recommendations are non-transparent based on non-justifiable assumption rather than factual data. The limited consideration of stakeholder inputs coupled with the absence of comprehensive consultation on key issues -- such as ensuring a level-playing field, evaluating network capacity, determining assignment methods, and establishing fair spectrum valuation—along with reliance on flawed assumptions, has culminated in recommendations that are not only inequitable but may also contravene the principles embodied in the Telecommunications Act, 2023. ' The local companies – who buy airwaves through auctions -- had previously raised objections to the government's decision to give spectrum to satcom companies administratively, but had later decided to partner Starlink (both Airtel and Jio), weeks after Musk had a meeting with PM Narendra Modi during the latter's visit to the US in February. Starlink recently received a letter of intent (LoI) from the telecom ministry to begin services, and now awaits a formal license. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In its representation, COAI also raised objections to the 'differential spectrum pricing' suggested for terrestrial services versus satcom operators. '… the price per MHz should be equivalent or at least comparable for both, especially when used to reach the same consumers for identical services. Equity and non-discrimination principles require that if spectrum for satellite-based services are to be assigned administratively rather than through auction, its pricing must reasonably reflect parity with auction-discovered rates applicable to terrestrial spectrum in comparable frequency bands.

Nothing Phone (3) to launch soon in India, here is what we know about it so far
Nothing has confirmed that its "true flagship" phone, the Nothing Phone (3), is all set to launch in July. While the company has not revealed the exact date, it has been shedding light on the upcoming phone. For instance, the Nothing Phone (3) is ditching the Glyph interface and will follow the CMF Phone 2 Pro back panel. In this article, we will unveil all the details that Nothing has confirmed so far and will also shed light on the rumours and leaks around the phone. advertisementNothing Phone (3): Design Nothing has officially given up on the glyph interface, which was once a key highlight on its phones. Unlike the Nothing Phone (2) or Phone (3a), the upcoming flagship will follow a design language similar to its mid-budget phone, CMF Phone 2 Pro (review). In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a glimpse of the back panel. The shared image features a wheel on the edge. While it appears to be a little different from the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the inspiration could be the same. Another similarity between the Phone (3) and the CMF Phone 2 Pro is "all in the details." If you look at the image closely, you can notice two different tones of the colour. This means that the upcoming flagship might also feature a dual-colour back panel. advertisementNothing also revealed that the Phone (3) would be the first flagship to ditch the glyph interface, a feature known to be Nothing's trademark. Now, if the company is doing away with such a feature, it is certain that the upcoming phone will bring another wave. While nothing is certain, the company may be cooking up a brand-new visual language for the Phone (3), and it might involve dot-matrix displays. Nothing Phone (3): Specs and featuresWith its official unveiling set for July, the Nothing Phone (3) remains something of a mystery — but not without a fair share of juicy leaks and subtle hints. While much is still under wraps, co-founder Carl Pei has offered a few tantalising confirmations. The upcoming handset, he says, will bring 'high-end materials,' 'a major jump in performance,' and 'software improvements aimed at delivering a better overall experience.'Rumour-watchers and spec-sheet sleuths, however, have begun painting a clearer picture. At the heart of the Phone (3), it's widely speculated we'll find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It's a curious, if bold, choice for a device vying for flagship status in 2025, especially given that the Phone (2) debuted two years ago. Still, if Nothing keeps the price within reach, it might just strike the right balance between power and the Phone (3) is tipped to feature a sizeable 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, pushing a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a dazzling 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The camera setup is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel triple array on the back and a 32-megapixel selfie snapper up front. As for battery life, expect a 5,000mAh cell, with 50W fast wired charging and 20W wireless charging in Phone (3): Price hike confirmed Pei has hinted that the Nothing Phone (3) will be priced around 800 (roughly Rs 92,000) sparking plenty of chatter ahead of its official launch. While the UK price sets expectations high, the Indian market may see a more tailored tag. Analysts suggest a likely range of Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000, a steep climb from the Phone (2)'s Rs 44,999–Rs 54,999 launch price. 'It won't be cheap,' say insiders, though pricing could reflect India's purchasing power. Still, fans hoping for a budget-friendly flagship might need to brace themselves. Official pricing is just around the corner, and expectations are mixed.

Silicon Valley VCs navigate uncertain AI future
CANADA: For Silicon Valley venture capitalists, the world has split into two camps: those with deep enough pockets to invest in artificial intelligence behemoths, and everyone else waiting to see where the AI revolution leads. The generative AI frenzy unleashed by ChatGPT in 2022 has propelled a handful of venture-backed companies to eye-watering valuations. Leading the pack is OpenAI, which raised USD 40 billion in its latest funding round at a USD 300 billion valuation -- unprecedented largesse in Silicon Valley's history. Other AI giants are following suit. Anthropic now commands a USD 61.5 billion valuation, while Elon Musk's xAI is reportedly in talks to raise USD 20 billion at a USD 120 billion price tag. The stakes have grown so high that even major venture capital firms -- the same ones that helped birth the internet revolution -- can no longer compete. Mostly, only the deepest pockets remain in the game: big tech companies, Japan's SoftBank, and Middle Eastern investment funds betting big on a post-fossil fuel future. "There's a really clear split between the haves and the have-nots," says Emily Zheng, senior analyst at PitchBook, told AFP at the Web Summit in Vancouver. "Even though the top-line figures are very high, it's not necessarily representative of venture overall, because there's just a few elite startups and a lot of them happen to be AI."
