ExpressVPN and Surfshark are two heavyweights and sit comfortably among CNET’s top VPN picks thanks to their exceptional all-around performance and privacy protections. I use both ExpressVPN and Surfshark regularly and can tell you that each is excellent at what it does -- but also that each one does things very differently. That’s good, because there are distinctions between ExpressVPN and Surfshark that can make it easier to decide between the two based on your specific needs. In a perfect wor

Moratorium on state AI regulation clears Senate hurdle

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-09-04 06:17:56

A Republican effort to prevent states from enforcing their own AI regulations cleared a key procedural hurdle on Saturday. The rule, as reportedly rewritten by Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz in an attempt to comply with budgetary rules, would withhold federal broadband funding from states if they try to enforce AI regulations in the next 10 years. And the rewrite seems to have passed muster, with the Senate Parliamentarian now ruling that the provision is not subject to the so-called Byrd rule

From businessman to politician, and now to wireless service provider? Coming way out of left field, it seems the Trump Organization is now looking to leverage the Trump name to bring phone service to its fan base. According to the Trump Organization, the company won’t directly operate Trump Mobile and is instead licensing the rights to an unnamed third party. Trump Mobile will offer just one plan, dubbed the 47 Plan, as a not-so-subtle nod to Trump’s current presidential term. The company will

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer.
