GrapheneOS points beyond Pixels, but only to flagship Motorola hardware (grapheneos.social)

The project says Motorola is porting GrapheneOS and names a 2027 Signature plus Razr fold and flip devices as prospective targets, while lower-end models may take longer.

That qualifier was the story for HN: an alternative OS still depends on vendors shipping long update windows and the security features it requires.

A rocket startup is buying a 30-year-old satellite network for $8 billion (investors.rocketlabcorp.com)

Iridium throws off $871.7M in revenue and a 57% margin on a constellation born from 1990s Motorola. Rocket Lab gets its globally-coordinated L-band spectrum, 2.55 million subscribers, and a guaranteed launch backlog as it scales its Neutron rocket.

The skeptics in the thread aren't sold: a 30-year-old network won't out-speed Starlink, and a much smaller company swallowing one twenty times its size only has to make sense to Wall Street.
