NVIDIA says it can resume selling key AI chips to China

NVIDIA will be able to start selling its H20 AI GPU to China again soon after gaining approval to do so from the US government, the company announced in a blog post. Earlier this year, the company was blocked from selling the H20 to China over concerns it could aid the nation's military. "NVIDIA is filing applications to sell the H20 GPU again. The US government has assured NVIDIA that licenses will be granted and NVIDIA hopes to start deliveries soon," the article states. The company also anno

Nvidia is set to resume China chip sales after months of regulatory whiplash

Nvidia announced Monday that it’s filing applications to restart sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, capping a spasmodic few months that saw the Trump administration impose restrictions, then quickly reverse course after a high-profile dinner meeting.

This entry-level robot vacuum left some of my expensive ones in the dust

ZDNET's key takeaways At $199, the Tapo RV20 Max is an affordable option that works surprisingly well.

Tesla Makes a Desperate Move in Canada as Sales Collapse

Ford’s Recall Affects Almost Every Cool Car They Make, and There’s No Fix Yet

Rivian R1S review: second time’s the charm

Just four years after Rivian began selling its R1T truck, 2025 marks the beginning of the R1T and R1S’ second generation.

Kicking off at $107,700, here’s how all these revisions make the 2025 Rivian R1S Premium Tri-Motor a true frontrunner in the moder

Wild Galaxy S26 Ultra leak points to a massively upgraded 200MP camera

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a Sony-made 200MP camera. This camera would be notably larger than the 200MP main camera used on the S25 Ultra, suggesting improved image quality. This would be an uncharacteristic move by Samsung, as it’s typically been conservative with hardware upgrades. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has the same 200MP main camera seen on Samsung’s previous two Ultra phones, and we weren’t expecting an upgrade in

Are you a coffee paste person? You might be! Several people are—mostly ultralight backpackers. I am not. Or at least I don't think I am based on three cups made with this Swiss startup's unique product. The only flavor is bitterness, and it turns a weird grey color with a splash of milk. But then again, I have so far only tested it in my kitchen against a delicious AeroPress cup and not in the wild after carrying its 5 ounces for 15 miles up and down hills. I do not want to reveal too many of
