Still upset about last summer’s Spotify price bump? These lawmakers are on the case

Tech Team / Android Authority TL;DR Last year Spotify introduced audiobook access and raised pricing for Premium plans. While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware. They also accuse Spotify of orchestrating the whole change to lower its payouts to musicians.

Review: Logitech’s Casa Pop Up Desk is a convenient way to work from anywhere

The FPGA Turns 40!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most exciting and interesting aspects of electronic engineering: the FPGA. The first commercially viable FPGA introduced in 1985 was the Xilinx XC2064, which provided developers with 64 configurable logic blocks, each with a three-input look-up tables. From tiny acorns mighty OAK trees grow. Forty years later, the largest AMD (the successor to Xilinx) FPGA contains 8.9 million system logic cells, providing 8.2 million flip flops and 4 million l

Trump Says U.S. Won’t Respond to Iran’s Retaliatory Strike in Qatar

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday afternoon. “There have been 14 missiles fired—13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction.

Ted Cruz can’t get all Republicans to back his fight against state AI laws

A Republican proposal to penalize states that regulate artificial intelligence can move forward without requiring approval from 60 senators, the Senate parliamentarian decided on Saturday. But the moratorium on state AI laws did not have unanimous Republican support and has reportedly been watered down in an effort to push it toward passage. In early June, Sen.

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:34:11

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA

Tesla launched its robotaxi service over the weekend, with only a small number of cars and heavy human supervision on and off the road.
