La NASA a annoncé le report du départ de la mission Crew-12 vers l’ISS, avec à bord l’astronaute française Sophie Adenot. En cause, des conditions météo défavorables sur la trajectoire de vol. Départ, au plus tôt, le 12 février. #ISS #NASA #SpaceX #SophieAdenot #ESA

This past week had me flying a long distance to trade snow for sand, in the form of Web Summit Qatar. This coming week will also have me flying from snow to sand, but not nearly as far: I’m headed to Las Vegas for the customer-experience company Medallia’s annual conference. (The organizers of each event are covering my travel costs.)
2/2/2026: Automation in the wild: Why real environments break perfect models, Web Summit Qatar
My one panel at Web Summit’s Qatar conference had me quizzing John Spinale, chief strategy officer at Robust.ai, about how that company has gone about designing robots to help ease the work of humans in warehouses.
2/2/2026: United Airlines: More Than 25% of Our Daily Departures Now Offer Starlink Wi-Fi, PCMag
I was able to add some context to this post because I’m an avgeek and know there’s a volunteer-run site tracking the state of United’s fleet–a site that I wrote about nine years ago.
2/3/2026: Latest Speed Tests Put T-Mobile Ahead of Rival Carriers, PCMag
I’ve been wondering why Ookla issues scores for AT&T’s fiber broadband, ignoring the rest of that company’s residential broadband services, while it grades other providers on a company-wide basis, and this time I asked Ookla far enough ahead of time to get a clear answer to include in my writeup of this survey.
2/4/2026: CEO of Would-Be TikTok Rival UpScrolled: We Won’t Censor Anybody, PCMag
Watching UpScrolled founder and CEO Issam Hijazi go on at Web Summit Qatar’s opening night about how that social platform would not practice censorship reminded me of all of the other times I’ve seen other social-networking executives say versions of that and then be proved wrong by reality.
2/4/2026: Shop on Amazon? Watch Out for This Sneaky Credit Card Points Scam, PCMag
I had started reporting this post in late December, then had to set it aside for CES, then had to set it aside for other pressing deadlines, and finally filed it on the last day of January.
2/6/2026: Space Startups to NASA: Hurry Up and Pick Someone to Build ISS Replacement, PCMag
Appropriately enough, considering a prior topic of my coverage this week, I finished and filed this post via Starlink from my Qatar Airways flight back to Dulles.

After a successful @ARISS_Intl contact with KJ5GEW, the radio team wanted to encourage our school champion to keep going on his ham radio journey. So we got him a copy of @kb6nu's No Nonsense Tech exam study guide! Also threw in a spare Baofeng tribander.
Since we all signed the book for him, he can't just give it away. Plus he has a deadline now. 😄

„Video of a Gigantic Jet from the ISS“

„Gigantic jets (one of the Transient Luminous Event phenomena) typically form over intense tropic thunderstorms. Current research suggest they are initiated by intra-cloud lightning that triggers a large discharge up into the ionosphere.“ #iss
