Before the news broke, Tom's Hardware spoke with Nvidia representatives to learn more details about the company’s plans. The products include x86 Intel CPUs tightly fused with an Nvidia RTX graphics chiplet for the con

No Nissan Ariya for model-year 2026 as automaker cancels imports

Last week we drove the new Nissan Leaf, an inexpensive compact electric vehicle. Now equipped with things like active battery thermal management, the new Leaf is actually Nissan's second modern EV, after the debut a couple of years ago of the Ariya SUV. But if you want an Ariya, you ought to hurry—the model has been cut from Nissan USA's offerings for model-year 2026, according to a report in Automotive News.

Clean hydrogen is facing a big reality check

Here are three things to know about the state of hydrogen in 2025. 1. Expectations for annual clean hydrogen production by 2030 are shrinking, for the first time. While hydrogen has the potential to serve as a clean fuel, today most is made with processes that use fossil fuels. As of 2025, about a million metric tons of low-emissions hydrogen are produced annually. That’s less than 1% of total hydrogen production. In last year’s Global Hydrogen Report, the IEA projected that global production

Nvidia buys $5B in Intel stock in seismic deal

Meet Macroscope: an AI tool for understanding your code base, fixing bugs

The founders who previously sold their livestreaming video startup Periscope to Twitter are back with a new startup — and no surprise, it’s an AI-focused company this time around. On Wednesday, former Twitter head of product Kayvon Beykpour announced the launch of Macroscope, an AI system aimed at developers and product leaders that summarizes updates to a codebase and catches bugs, among other things. The startup was co-founded by Beykpour, now Macroscope CEO, in July 2023, along with childho

Bored at Work? Tubi Wants to Help You Secretly Watch TV on the Job

Should you be watching TV while at work? Why yes, yes you should -- according to Tubi. On Wednesday, the streaming service announced the launch of a stealthy new tool that helps you watch shows and movies while you're at work. Some of you are probably already doing that (I'm not judging), but with the introduction of Productubity, you can be sneaky and switch to a fake screen to trick your colleagues. "It's designed for the modern multitasker who's streaming on the sly, because sometimes, the o

Jaguar Land Rover extends shutdown after cyberattack by another week

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced today that it will extend the production shutdown for another week, following a devastating cyberattack that impacted its systems at the end of August. JRL is a standalone entity under Tata Motors India, following its acquisition from Ford in 2008. JLR employs approximately 39,000 people, makes more than 400,000 vehicles each year, and has reported an annual revenue of over $38 billion (£29 billion). The British automaker has been working to resume operations

When will Jaguar Land Rover restart production? “No one actually knows.”

Jaguar Land Rover’s dealers and suppliers fear the British carmaker’s operations will take another few months to normalize after a cyber attack that experts estimate could wipe more than £3.5 billion off its revenue. JLR, which is owned by India’s Tata Motors, had been forced to shut down its systems and halt production across its UK factories since August 31, wreaking havoc across the country’s vast supply chain involving roughly 200,000 workers. JLR on Tuesday said it would extend its produc

Scientists Tested What's Really in "Psilocybin" Chocolate and Found Something Alarming

Image by Getty / Futurism Mental Health If you're a coward and don't want to munch on awful-tasting shrooms to go on a psychedelic odyssey, you can buy delicious edibles infused with their active ingredient instead: psilocybin. But maybe you shouldn't, because new research suggests that you might be getting ripped off taking these — or even putting your health at risk. After testing 12 edible "magic mushroom" products sold in Portland, Oregon, Richard van Breemen and his colleagues found abso

Microsoft slips unscathed through EU competition probe after promising to unbundle Teams

Thanks to a pledge to unbundle its corporate messaging app Teams from its productivity suites, Microsoft has managed to slip unscathed through a major antitrust investigation by the European Commission that could have resulted in massive fines for the tech giant. The Commission on Friday okayed Microsoft’s concessions to address the EU’s competition concerns over the company including Teams along with the rest of its Office productivity suite for free, concluding a multi-year investigation that

New Study Questions a Major Assumption About the Fall of the Roman Empire

The period after the Roman Empire abandoned Britain has long been known as the “Dark Ages” for a reason. Scholars believed that after the Romans left, local industries collapsed and effectively all progress ceased for centuries. Britain, they theorized, was plunged into a cultural and economic abyss with their departure. But for some time, a growing body of evidence has challenged this narrative. And in a new study published today in the journal Antiquity, researchers investigate the assumption

Texas banned lab-grown meat. What’s next for the industry?

Texas joins six other US states and the country of Italy in banning these products. These legal challenges are adding barriers to an industry that’s still in its infancy and already faces plenty of challenges before it can reach consumers in a meaningful way. The agriculture sector makes up a hefty chunk of global greenhouse-gas emissions, with livestock alone accounting for somewhere between 10% and 20% of climate pollution. Alternative meat products, including those grown in a lab, could help

OpenAI Hopes Animated 'Critterz' Will Prove AI Is Ready for the Big Screen

Can generative AI animate a decent movie? That question's getting an early test. OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI's Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, will have a budget of less than $30 million. Producers hope to make the movie in about nine months, in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to The Wall Street Journal. The original short

Here’s everything Apple discontinued after the ‘Awe Dropping’ event

As it usually does, Apple discontinued a few products to make room for everything it announced during Tuesday’s event. Here’s the full list of products that Apple dropped, following the ‘Awe Dropping’ presentation. The vintage clock is now ticking for these products Every time Apple announces new products, it immediately stops selling some of its previous versions, although they remain available from third-party retailers, usually at pretty attractive discounts. Yesterday was no different. Fo

Klarna prices IPO at $40, above online lender's expected range

Klarna is synonymous with the "buy now, pay later" trend of making a purchase and deferring payment until the end of the month or paying over interest-free monthly installments. Online lender Klarna priced its IPO at $40 per share on Tuesday, above its expected range, in a deal that values the Swedish company at about $15 billion. Klarna, known for its popular buy now, pay later products, said it raised $1.37 billion for the company and existing shareholders, who are looking to exit a portion

Just One Lonely Product Still Uses Apple’s Lightning Connector—Can You Guess Which One?

While the world focuses on Apple’s latest slew of new products, we are taking a moment for the last bastion of Apple’s proprietary past—the one remaining product with a Lightning connector that, somehow, Apple still sells. We have previously lamented Apple's drawn-out transition to USB-C. It’s been far from quick and far from straightforward, leaving a mess of dongles and confusion in its wake. It was last year, at its September 2024 “Glowtime” event, that Apple made the move to change that, t

Trump’s Policies Are Shutting Out Americans From the Coolest New Gadgets

Tech companies big and small now struggle to tantalize you with tech without telling you how much it will cost, or—hell—whether you can even buy it. The still-ongoing IFA 2025 tech conference in Berlin proved how merely shipping tech to the U.S. is more tenuous than at any time in the last few decades. From what I saw and heard both on the floor and off, it became clear that the era of plentiful, affordable, and cool shit will melt away in favor of an epoch of dull and ever-more expensive tech.

OpenAI Is Bringing an AI-Driven Feature-Length Animated Movie to Cannes

You knew it was bound to happen, and now, it has. The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI is lending its services to the production of a feature-length animated film called Critterz, which is aiming to be done in time for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. That would put its production time at nine months, which is unheard of for a feature-length animated film, but that’s because it’ll be created using AI. According to the paper, using OpenAI’s resources, production companies Vertigo Films a

How Yichao “Peak” Ji became a global AI app hitmaker

At first sight, Manus works like most chatbots: Users can ask it questions in a chat window. However, besides providing answers, it can also carry out tasks (for example, finding an apartment that meets specified criteria within a certain budget). It does this by breaking tasks down into steps, then using a cloud-based virtual machine equipped with a browser and other tools to execute them—perusing websites, filling in forms, and so on. Ji is the technical core of the team. Now based in Singapo

GM slows EV production as tax credit nears expiration

General Motors is going to be scaling back production of the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq, as well as the Chevy Bolt EV as it expects sales of electric vehicles to slow dramatically. The $7,500 consumer tax credit for purchasing a new EV is set to expire at the end of the month. That credit has been crucial to driving demand for EVs, which are still more expensive than their gas-powered counterparts. The company is pausing production on the Lyriq and Vistiq at its Spring Hill, Tennessee plant in D

Apple’s new generative AI ‘answer engine’ might arrive sooner than we initially thought

Early last month, Bloomberg reported on Apple’s new in-house generative AI search product – with a new ‘Answers, Knowledge, and Information’ team. Despite this team’s recent formation, we might get to see the fruits of their labor much sooner than one might’ve anticipated. Despite all of the Apple Intelligence Siri woes, Apple still seems determined to make an impact in the generative AI space. That’s why it’s trying to develop a Perplexity and ChatGPT rival, which we’ve previously referred to
