Author: Stephan Forseilles March 12, 2026 Duration: 11:01
Stephan’s Daily Tech News episode 115 delivers a rapid‑fire roundup of today’s biggest tech stories. We start with Amazon’s unexpected website and app outage, the cause, and the quick recovery, plus a nod to recent AWS challenges. Next, we explore Reflect Orbital’s ambitious plan to launch tens of thousands of space mirrors for nighttime illumination and the environmental concerns it raises. In satellite news, NASA’s Van Allen Probe A is set for a fiery re‑entry, while its twin remains in orbit. The AI segment covers Oracle’s strong Q3 results and cloud‑AI push, Meta’s acquisition of the AI‑agent social network Moltbook, and a federal judge’s injunction stopping Perplexity’s AI agents from shopping on Amazon. We also dive into the legal and ethical debate sparked by an AI‑rewritten, MIT‑licensed version of the chardet library. Finally, we look at YouTube’s projected rise to the world’s largest media company by 2025, outpacing Disney thanks to ad revenue, subscriptions, and creator payouts. All wrapped up with a reminder to stay skeptical, keep a sense of humor, and watch the sky.
