The Trump Family’s Crypto Empire Is Expanding—Fast

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-15 10:31:43

The Trump family’s crypto empire is making another major move on Wall Street. World Liberty Financial, the crypto firm founded by the Trump family last September, has struck a massive deal that will see a publicly traded fintech company, ALT5 Sigma, purchase up to $1.5 billion of the family’s proprietary cryptocurrency, $WLFI. The deal is a landmark event that further intertwines the Trump family’s private business ventures with President Donald Trump’s increasingly pro-crypto government polic

Faster NextGen Acela Trains Are Coming to the U.S. at the Worst Time

gizmodo.com David Alff 2025-08-15 10:55:33

When former President Joe Biden unveiled his US$1.9 trillion infrastructure plan in 2021, he found the perfect place to go public: Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station rail yard. Over the din of crackling wires and grumbling engines, the president made his case for revitalizing the country’s roads, ports, airports and rail lines. Behind Biden sat rows of gleaming Amtrak trains. Among them was a prototype of NextGen Acela, a sleek machine engineered to deliver the fastest passenger service in Ame

OpenAI, cofounder Sam Altman to take on Neuralink with new startup

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-15 10:08:33

OpenAI and its cofounder Sam Altman are preparing to back a company that will compete with Elon Musk’s Neuralink by connecting human brains with computers, heightening the rivalry between the two billionaire entrepreneurs. The new venture, called Merge Labs, is raising new funds at an $850 million valuation, with much of the new capital expected to come from OpenAI’s ventures team, according to three people with direct knowledge of the plans.

Mercedes-Benz Vision V Concept: Is this the solution or a sideshow?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-15 10:49:42

An orange tint of smoke in the air always contributes to dramatic lighting for sunrise photos in Los Angeles. But this early in the fire season, the coloring serves as an inescapable reminder of greenhouse gas emissions and the mobility solutions that might reduce or at least slightly mitigate the future of radical weather crises. It's fitting, then, that a massive 75,000-acre fire burns in Santa Maria, in addition to a small brush fire on the 110 freeway less than a mile away as I visit the Ely

Coffee Grinders Used to Be a Mystery. A New Device Might Solve It

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-08-15 10:38:00

I don't mean to be dramatic when I say coffee grinders are both the biggest mystery in coffee, and also coffee's biggest hive of technological invention. If you find yourself in the online rabbit holes of the coffee world these days, you'll almost certainly encounter a bean geek eager to tell you a secret. The secret is that your coffee grinder is more important to how your coffee tastes than your drip brewer, and also more important than your espresso maker. This idea makes some sense. Just l

Drag x Drive is more drag than drive

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation. Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain.

The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

theverge.com Kevin Nguyen 2025-08-15 10:00:00

There’s a micro-genre of film called “screenlife movies,” where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer. In 2014, Unfriended made a horror movie out of video chat and text messages, and it was successful enough to inspire a sequel. The more thoughtful Searching from 2018, in which a father attempts to find his missing daughter, felt novel and a bit more promising for the genre, even if an hour and a half really tested the amount of time you could look at a scrunched John Cho and Mac

In Brief Apple has rejected Elon Musk’s accusations that its App Store is biased against AI apps that compete with OpenAI. “We feature thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria,” the BBC quoted Apple as saying. The response comes after Musk threatened to sue Apple via xAI, claiming the iPhone maker was “behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.

If you’re tired of bad Google Search results, here’s how I finally fixed mine

Joe Maring / Android Authority When we talk about Google Search in 2025, it’s usually not for a good reason. AI Overviews are more prevalent than ever, despite still not being particularly good. Google widely rolled out (the very flawed) AI Mode to users in May, and the traditional Google Search experience remains cluttered with ads and low-quality results.

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch.
