Robinhood is up 160% this year, but several obstacles are ahead

Robinhood stock hit an all-time high Friday as the financial services platform continued to rip higher this year, along with bitcoin and other crypto stocks. Robinhood, up more than 160% in 2025, hit an intraday high above $101 before pulling back and closing slightly lower.

Speaking to Collider, the actor, who’s also one of Murderbot‘s executive producers, spoke about the scene, in which h

Tesla reportedly close to starting sales in India

We Just Got a Major Clue About Why Twitter's CEO Suddenly Left This Week

We still don't know why Linda Yaccarino stepped down as CEO of X on Tuesday. Her sudden abdication came off the back of a legendarily horrific freakout by the AI Grok, which saw the chatbot make a series of egregiously racist statements, claiming to be "MechaHitler" and praising Nazis over the course of a chaotic day. But if Yaccarino was fed up with what was going on at the company, she didn't show it. Her announcement was cheery, and her boss Elon Musk gave a curt thanks for her two years of

Ensuring regulatory compliance is a high-stakes challenge across industries. Banks, payroll processors, and legal firms alike grapple with complex rules and massive data — and the consequences of failure are severe.

In another case, nine Wall Street companies paid $549 million in penalties after employees used unauthorized messaging apps that breached recordkeeping ru

Whatever the company lands on is expected to be a companion device to your phone, rather than a standalone product. Samsung already offers a long list of products in its mobile portfolio, including smartphones, tablets, and more. Still, the company is looking for ways to expand its mobile offerings. To that end, the compan

Galaxy Z Flip 7 Hands-On: I'm Excited About the Bigger Screens, Battery and FE Variant

Are two Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones better than one? That's the question I kept pondering as I held the new Galaxy Z Flip 7 in one hand and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in the other at a Samsung press preview. It's a strategy that's worked well for one of the company's foldable phone competitors, Motorola, which has Razr models starting as low as $700 and as much as $1,300.

Feature Request: Three advanced features I’d like to see added to HomeKit

The ChompSaw: A benchtop power tool that's safe for kids to use

Of all freestanding power tools, perhaps the jigsaw or scrollsaw would be the most fun for kids to use, as they allow freeform cuts. They're also pretty darn dangerous, with the jigsaw being powerful enough to remove fingers. A much safer way to introduce kids to power tools is this ChompSaw, developed by product designers Kausi Raman and Max Liechty. The material it's designed to cut is cardboard, allowing parents to turn Amazon boxes into projects. The tool is essentially a nibbler, using an
