Amazon’s Project Kuiper is reportedly way behind schedule, according to an investigation by Bloomberg. This is the company’s satellite internet service, which intends to rival SpaceX and Starlink. The issue seems to be one of scale, as the company has had trouble increasing production of the actual satellites.
The reporting indicates that the Kuiper team has only managed to manufacture a few dozen of these satellites. As a comparison, there are currently over 7,000 Starlink satellites in orbit. The initial production of the Kuiper satellites was delayed until the tail-end of last year, so Amazon hasn’t had too much time to ramp things up.

Netflix recreated an Apple Store from the ground up for its newly released thriller ”iHostage,” a dramatization of the real-life hostage crisis that took place at Apple’s Leidseplein retail store in Amsterdam in 2022.
Since filming inside an actual Apple Store was not possible, Netflix and the production team behind ”iHostage” reconstructed a full-scale replica of the Amsterdam location. The recreation was designed to match the original Apple Store’s layout and architecture, using advanced virtual production techniques to replicate the store’s surrounding environment.
