Microsoft 365 and Outlook keep stumbling, and the memes are working overtime
Microsoft 365 and Outlook outages are affecting users, with recovery in progress but complaints and memes still circulating on X. Anyone who has stared at a “connecting...” banner five minutes before a client call knows the pain. The unspoken joke is that half the world’s offices stop when one cloud hiccups. It’s a fair reminder that concentration is a risk: backup channels, offline copies and a phone number for the boss are cheap insurance. Microsoft owes customers a clear explanation, not just a status page.
SpaceX plans $74 billion in AI supercomputing campuses, with its own power plants attached
SpaceX has announced AI data centre and supercomputing campuses in Texas and Arizona, with the Arizona site alone at about $50 billion. The facilities are designed to generate their own power. That detail matters after the Wyoming and Nscale stories, since the grid is the bottleneck everyone keeps hitting. It’s like building a huge factory and a private generator in the same compound, because the municipal supply is a gamble. The question is permits and local politics, given the data-centre ballot fights. A rocket company becoming a landlord of compute is a big shift.
Fireworks AI breach exposes some Notion chat transcripts
A breach at Fireworks AI exposed some Notion customer chat transcripts, with limited impact reported. Notice the chain: you trust Notion, Notion trusts a vendor, and the vendor leaks. It’s like handing your house keys to a friend who gives a copy to their cousin. Limited impact is good news, but it shows why companies should audit third-party AI providers, not just their own systems. Ask which vendors touch your data, what they store, and how fast they’d tell you if something went wrong.
Deep Tech Sovereignty: A bus India cannot afford to miss!
There is a famous Japanese saying which keeps popping up on my Insta feed at 3 am. It goes something like this, “If you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station. The longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be.” So yesterday a natural thought came to my mind: What if you miss the right bus? Do you wait for the next bus to arrive or run at the fastest pace possible towards the next station (don’t forget to switch on your Strava) to catch the same bus while running like this: The answers might be simple here. But what if a nation has to confront the same situation in 2026? What will it choose? How fast should it run? Is the same race even worth the effort? There can be n number of questions that a nation has to answer before deciding its next step.
America Forgives Presidents. Why Not Jensen?
On 7 June 2024, at Computex in Taipei, Reuters obtained a photo of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang seated beside a businesswoman who would later feature in the New York Times’ reporting. Just under two and a half years later, that photo sits near the start of an ABC News timeline that ends with Huang out of the company he co-founded in 1993. The confirmed facts first. Nvidia’s board announced on 12 November that Huang had resigned as president, CEO and director, effective immediately, without giving a reason. CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO, and Harvey C. Jones became the company’s first-ever chair of the board. On 8 November, Huang had emailed staff admitting, “I was unfaithful to my wife,” and adding, “I take full responsibility for what I did.” The same day the board opened an independent investigation into whether he had “been the target of a foreign intelligence effort,” saying it had “no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised.”
Physical AI: India’s Opening to Lead Embodied Intelligence for Factories, Farms and the Frontline
A robot can move a box a thousand times without making a mistake. Then someone moves the box six inches to the left, and the system stops. For a factory, that can mean a delayed production line. On a farm, it could mean a missed target. In a defence operation, the consequences could be far more serious. The problem isn’t that the machine cannot move. It’s that the real world has changed, and the machine hasn’t adapted. This is the challenge Physical AI is designed to address: building machines that can perceive their surroundings, make decisions and respond to conditions they weren’t explicitly programmed to expect. And India has a reason to take this seriously. According to the International Federation of Robotics, India installed approximately 10,500 industrial robots in 2025, up 15% from the previous year . Annual installations grew at an average rate of 27% between 2020 and 2025, putting India sixth globally .
The Battery in Your Drawer Has a Lesson for India
Before a long train journey, you charge your power bank overnight. In the morning, all four lights are glowing, so into the bag it goes. A few hours later, your phone is at 9%. You plug it in. Nothing. You try another cable, press the little button twice, maybe even give it a shake. Back home, someone says, “Battery kharab ho gayi,” and the power bank returns to its drawer. We’ve all had some version of this. What we rarely find out is why a battery that looked perfectly fine gave up just when we needed it. For us, “it failed” is usually the end of the discussion. For Rahul Raj, co-founder of Inverted Energy, it is the beginning. When our team spoke to him, he described how engineers push batteries beyond normal use, sometimes until they fail. On a test bench, they can find out what went wrong and change the design.
