ASML shares drop 6.5% after the chip giant says it can't confirm that it will grow in 2026

cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-07-27 13:12:38

An icon of ASML is displayed on a smartphone, with an ASML chip visible in the background. ASML on Wednesday warned of the possibility of no growth in 2026, even as it beat top and bottom line expectations for the second quarter. ASML's guidance for the current quarter missed expectations while it narrowed its own forecast for the rest of the year. Shares of ASML dropped 6.5% in early trading, shortly after European markets opened. Like many companies in the semiconductor industry, ASML has

He also leaves off Pascal because it’s “mostly dead”. Preposterous! That defeats the whole point of what “significant in history” means.

Amazon Prime Day sale: The Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 4 is available for $240 -- a discount of 14% or $40 -- as a deal that's still live post Amazon's July Prime Day sale.

CNET's key takeaways $240 for a smart thermostat may sound like a tough deal, but mine is set to pay for itself this summer thanks to lower heating and cooling payments.

Hackers Can Tamper With Train Brakes Using Just a Radio, Feds Warn

gizmodo.com Rhett Jones 2025-07-28 11:10:56

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an advisory last week warning that a key train system could be hacked using nothing but a radio and a little know-how. The flaw has to do with the protocol used in a train system known as the End-of-Train and Head-of-Train. A Flashing Rear End Device (FRED), also known as an End-of-Train (EOT) device, is attached to the back of a train and sends data via radio signals to a corresponding device in the locomotive called the Head-o
