techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-21 16:11:09

Tesla has proposed a new 10-year compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk that could be worth as much as $1 trillion even as the EV maker’s car business stumbles and it sets its sights on humanoid robotics and AI. The company has tied the compensation to a number of benchmarks, one of which involves increasing Tesla’s overall valuation from around $1 trillion to more than $8 trillion. The plan would grant Musk more than 423 million additional shares in the company, boosting his level of control to a

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra $300 off, but only in these two colors

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung’s most exciting phones right now include foldables, flip phones, and a super-thin phone. These are cool, but if you want true performance and an overall premium experience, you can’t beat the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. We would argue it is still Samsung’s best phone, and you can often catch better deals on it. It’s currently as cheap as $999.99, which is a $300 discount.

It's been two years since Lenovo released the Legion Go gaming handheld. It was big and heavy, sure, but it also had poor battery life, really loud fans and was saddled with Windows 11.

TL;DR Sourcing data directly from disk IS faster than caching in memory. I brought receipts. Because hardware got wider but not faster, the old methods don't get you there. You need new tools to use what is scaling and avoid what isn't. Introduction In part 1 I showed how some computer performance factors are scaling exponentially while others have been stagnant for decades. I then asserted, without proof, that sourcing data from disk can be faster than from memory. What follows is the proof.

[ITS] According to a conspiracy theory long popular among ITS and TOPS-20 fans, Unix's growth is the result of a plot, hatched during the 1970s at Bell Labs, whose intent was to hobble AT&T's competitors by making them dependent upon a system whose future evolution was to be under AT&T's control.
