TikTok is finally “back to normal” in the US after days of technical issues and outages tied to winter storms. Less than a week after companies like Oracle took ownership of TikTok’s domestic operations, the platform faced a major power outage when one of its primary US data center sites — run by Oracle — got taken down by the storm.The problems started last Monday, January 26, when TikTok announced it was working on a “major infrastructure issue” and warned of bugs, time-out requests, missing earnings, and more. The next day TikTok shared that progress has been made but there…

Premier League sides Newcastle United and Aston Villa have made offers to Real Madrid for former Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, according to reports. The Spain international left Bournemouth in the summer transfer window in a deal worth around £50m after a brilliant season in the Premier League. Huijsen, who has been capped six times by Spain, has had an inconsistent first seven months at Real Madrid with the 20-year-old putting in mixed performances, which you’d probably expect for someone his age. However, it has reportedly led to some officials at Real Madrid to question whether to keep him on or…
“I would hope by 2028/29,” says Ramesh Narasimhan, Nyobolt’s executive vice-president, when asked how soon its tech might appear in car showrooms. “In four years’ time, the fast-charging network is going to be completely different. Car makers have to think about their customer experience in that scenario.” A world of 10-minute charging would increase public DC charger throughput and thus boost revenues for the charge point owners (or allow them to reduce costs, if we’re being truly idealistic) while cutting queues and inconvenience for drivers. Eight undisclosed car makers are in discussions around adopting Nyobolt’s cell technology, which could be…
Image generated by Google Gemini It’s the year of living dangerously… or courageously. It all depends on your point of view. Oracle has revealed plans to raise up to $50 billion throughout 2026 to supercharge its data center and AI infrastructure. It’s a very big bet just as its stock faces serious headwinds, tumbling 15.6% in January alone and marking four consecutive months in negative territory. The capital injection aims to satisfy surging cloud demand from heavyweight clients including OpenAI, Meta, Nvidia, AMD, TikTok, and xAI. But the scale of this commitment—one of tech’s largest single infrastructure investments—raises a critical…
Manchester United have been told that a deal for Chelsea standout Cole Palmer is incredibly unlikely unless they pay a ‘record’ fee for the Englishman. Palmer has been heavily linked with a potential return to Manchester via a move to Man Utd in recent weeks, with it reported that he is unsettled at Stamford Bridge. During his time at Chelsea, Palmer has established himself as one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe and he is certainly their best player. Therefore, it certainly won’t be easy for Man Utd (or any other club) to sign Palmer, especially because he is…
With 641bhp, the lighter 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 is more powerful than the old W12, and puts out only a fraction less torque. This is not quite the most power that has been extracted out of this engine: that honour still rests with the 657bhp Lamborghini Urus Performante. Performance is suitably monstrous – think 193mph and a BMW M5 Touring-beating 0-60mph time. Bentley says it was clear that customers would prefer pure petrol for the performance version of the Bentayga and that the V8 PHEV powertrain from the Continental GT wouldn’t be just a straight drop-in, because it’s quite a different package to the…
Arsenal have opened talks to sign Hearts striker James Wilson on an ‘initial loan deal’ before the winter transfer window shuts, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to six points from nearest challengers Manchester City, while Aston Villa fell seven points adrift of Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal spent over £250m on new signings in the summer transfer window as they looked to provide Arteta with the tools to finally take the Gunners to Premier League glory. Arteta’s side have finished second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons as…
Democrats want changes in funding to the Department of Homeland Security in light of the fatal shootings of two US citizens during immigration raids.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has rejected Arsenal links to Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali despite the report coming from a reliable reporter. It seemed like being a quiet transfer deadline day for Arsenal before the north London outfit revealed that Mikel Merino was likely to be out for ‘an extended period’ of time on Sunday. A statement read: ‘Mikel is expected to be out of action for an extended period, with the aim of returning to full training before the end of the season. Everyone is fully focused on supporting Mikel to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon…
