Commerce Sec. Lutnick says TikTok will go dark if China won't agree to U.S. control of the social media app

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2025-07-27 22:54:03

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that TikTok will go dark for Americans unless China agrees to give the U.S. more control over the popular short-form video app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Thursday. TikTok's future in the U.S. has been uncertain since 2024, when Congress passed a bill that would ban the platform unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, dives

OpenAI Is Quietly Trying to Get More Money as It Burns Through Cash at a Staggering Pace

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-27 21:06:53

Despite raising over $60 billion in venture capital, OpenAI seems to be burning through cash faster than it can raise it. Mere months after wrapping up a $40 billion funding round, the AI company is now said to be reopening the books in search of more money, according to Wired. Investors both new and old are now being asked — again — to consider pouring funds into the company, two unnamed sources told Wired. That last round, which was said to be closed on March 31st, sent OpenAI's valuation to

It’s time to stop defending slow charging speeds

Robert Triggs / Android Authority We’re fast approaching the launch of the new Pixel 10 series and iPhone 17, and the one thing I’m really dreading is another year of sluggish charging speeds. While Google’s Pro XL model has gradually increased its charging power to a level close to Samsung’s Ultra, the smaller, more popular flagship phones in the US are stuck charging below 25W. Compared to their fast-charging Chinese counterparts, such as the 80W OnePlus 13, these supposed flagships feel pos

Apple solves its social media fragmentation problem with ‘In the Loop’

Social media has been fragmented since Twitter got X’d and cleared the path for Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and others. Still, Apple personalities like Tim Cook still rely on sharing company news, often exclusively, on X. Others seem more fond of Instagram. It’s a lot to follow, especially if you’re off one or more social media networks. Apple seems to have heard the feedback that it can be rather strange that company news, especially from CEO Tim Cook, can solely exist somewhere like X. The f
