Massive Recall Doesn’t Affect 15% Leap in Company Share Price

The stock price of a company that is in the middle of a major recall still managed to see a 15% gain by the time the market closed Friday. That recall has been issued for nearly 760,000 power tools following reports of explosions and fire hazards. The move is one to watch because some companies in the power washer market are beginning to integrate into their devices. These AI-powered pressure washers can analyze the surface being cleaned and optimize their own performance to provide a better r

The US government drops its CHIPS Act requirements for Intel

Intel no longer has to fulfill certain requirements or meet milestones that it was originally supposed to under the CHIPS Act, now that the government is taking a stake in the company. According to the Wall Street Journal, Intel said in a filing that it can now receive funding from the government, as long as it can show that it has already spent $7.9 billion on projects that it agreed to take on under a deal with the Commerce Department last year. Reuters notes that Intel has already spent $7.87

FBI Director’s Girlfriend Sues Podcaster Over Claim She’s a Spy for Israel

Alexis Wilkins, the country singer and girlfriend of FBI director Kash Patel, filed a lawsuit this week against conservative podcaster Kyle Seraphin over his claims that Wilkins worked for Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad. Social media users have claimed Wilkins was acting as a so-called “honeypot” to get information from Patel and it’s become a popular meme on X in recent weeks, but Wilkins has now filed suit against Seraphin, a former FBI agent. Wilkins first denied she was a spy working f

‘Magic’ Weaves New Mechanics and Cards for Spider-Man Set

Less than a month out from Magic: The Gathering’s Spider-Man set, Wizards of the Coast has given it a full unveiling with reveals of more cards and gameplay mechanics for its crossover with Marvel’s webhead and friends. Wizards previously revealed a selection of cards at San Diego Comic-Con back in July. Like those, this new selection sports some amazing art from the company’s internal artists and creatives who’ve previously drawn Spider-Man over the character’s decades-long history, which is o

Ride1Up TrailRush Electric Mountain Bike Review: Quality Components, Bargain Price

Buying a direct-to-consumer bike can be almost as big a gamble as investing in cryptocurrency. While a customer is not likely to lose their shirt investing in a new electric bike, buying a poorly made one may result in a serious crash or catch the garage on fire. For these reasons and more, it’s wise to do some research before clicking on the Add to Cart button. The highest-end legacy-brand e-MTBs retail for upwards of $14,000. So what do you get for $2,095, the price of Ride1Up’s first-ever el

Your Body Ages Faster Because of Extreme Heat

It is well known that heat causes exhaustion in the body due to dehydration. But aging? A recent study concluded that extreme heat accelerates the aging of the human body, a worrying fact given the increasing frequency of heat waves due to climate change. The researchers are not talking about the effects of solar radiation on the skin, but biological aging. Unlike chronological age—that answer that you give when asked how old you are—your biological age reflects how well your cells, tissues, a

Meta will sell you refurbished Ray-Ban smart glasses for $76 off - how to find them

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar style with the Shiny Caramel finish with Polar Brown lens

SQLite's documentation about its durability properties is unclear

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost

Alibaba shares jump 13% as AI drives cloud unit acceleration

Alibaba posted a better-than-expected bottom line in the June quarter fueled by accelerated sales at its cloud computing unit and a continued revival of its e-commerce business. Still, the Chinese giant's revenues came in under analyst forecasts. Alibaba's stock climbed 12.9% in the U.S. after initially dipping. Here's how Alibaba did in its fiscal first quarter ended June, compared with LSEG estimates: Revenue: 247.65 billion Chinese yuan ($34.6 billion), versus 252.9 billion yuan expected.

Concern Grows That Elon Musk Is Having Some Kind of AI Meltdown

With all the frenzied news swirling around these days, it's understandable if you let Elon Musk slip from the top of your mind. While the billionaire's mental state was arguably frayed during his stint as DOGE czar — thanks in no small part to what's been reported as a constant stream of illicit drugs — it's become visibly more concerning since his dramatic departure earlier this summer. Seemingly trying to distract himself from the decline of Tesla, the world's richest man has embarked on a n

Eric Trump Claims His Company Is Mining ‘3% of the World’s Bitcoin Every Single Day’

Eric Trump, the third child of President Donald Trump, showed up in Hong Kong this week to hawk his latest crypto venture and, according to him, it’s going to the moon. Trump spoke at Hong Kong’s Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference, the first stop in a planned series of crypto events across Asia featuring various Trump family members. At the conference, Trump declared that his family “loves” the crypto community and downplayed concerns about the president’s conflicts of interest with the industry. He

At OpenAI, Signs of Crisis Grow Behind the Scenes

OpenAI is still reeling from the disappointing launch of its latest GPT-5 model. It's being pelted with lawsuits from left and right, for alleged crimes like mass copyright infringement and colluding to ice out its competitors. More than ever, it's being criticized for its chatbot's alarming proclivity to not only give dangerous advice, but convince people to actually take it with its beguiling and sycophantic charm — a deeply weird phenomenon that's already led to several alleged deaths. Behin

Probability of typing a wrong Bitcoin address

I heard someone say that Bitcoin is dangerous because you could easily make a typo when entering an address, sending money to the wrong person, and have no recourse. There are dangers associated with Bitcoin, such as losing a private key, but address typos are not a major concern. Checksums There are several kinds of Bitcoin addresses. Each is at least 20 bytes (160 bits) long, with at least 4 bytes (32 bits) of checksum. The chances of a typo resulting in a valid checksum are about 1 in 232.

Sometimes CPU cores are odd

One of the biggest lessons that I've learned in my career is that all software has bugs, and the more complicated your software gets the more complicated your bugs get. A lot of the time those bugs will be fairly obvious and easy to spot, validate, and replicate. Sometimes, the process of fixing it will uncover your core assumptions about how things work in ways that will leave you feeling like you just got trolled. Today I'm going to talk about a single line fix that prevents people on a large

780,000 Ryobi Pressure Washers Recalled Due to Explosion Risk

Owning a pressure washer can seem like a boon for homeowners wanting to clean decks, driveways and other outdoor surfaces. But if you own one, check the brand and model immediately: around 780,000 Ryobi-branded pressure washers sold at Home Depot and other US and Canadian retailers are being recalled. The hazard is serious, according to a notice posted Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. "The pressure washer's capacitor can overheat and burst, causing parts to be forcefully ejec
