The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess. Coinbase, the cryptoc

Poor child process management in Rust terminal apps leads to terminal corruption

In this post, you’ll read learnings from solving these issues in the Moose CLI— terminal application that manages multiple child processes, including

Cheap gaming handhelds are about to lose their last affordability lifeline in the US

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR A new Executive Order ends the $800 duty-free limit for all commercial imports starting August 29.

Trump Ends Tariff Exemption for Small Packages

US President Donald Trump just dealt another blow to the embattled ecommerce industry, which is still reeling from sweeping tariffs Trump announced in the spring. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order widening the impact of those tariffs and making it more expensive for Americans to buy foreign products on sites like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon. The order eliminates the so-called “de minimis” provision, a long-standing policy that allowed people in the US to import packages valued at less th

All of your international packages are about to get more expensive

Wyoming may become the first state to supply more electricity to AI than to residents

Wow: Wyoming could soon host one of the largest AI data centers ever built – one consuming more electricity than every home in the state combined.

The Associated Press notes the facility's first phase would draw 1.8 gigawatts, con

Flaw in Gemini CLI coding tool could allow hackers to run nasty commands

The AI Hype Index: The White House’s war on “woke AI”

Simultaneously, the Pentagon inked a deal with Elon Musk’s xAI just days after its chatbot, Grok, spout

The Arctic Got So Warm in February, Svalbard’s Ground Was ‘Like Soft Ice Cream’

The Arctic island of Svalbard is so reliably frigid that humanity bet its future on the place. Since 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—set deep in frozen soil known as permafrost—has accepted nearly 1.4 million samples of more than 6,000 species of critical crops. But the island is warming six to seven times faster than the rest of the planet, making even winters freakishly hot, at least by Arctic standards. Indeed, in 2017, an access tunnel to the vault flooded as permafrost melted, though t

Psychedelic Therapy Crashed and Burned. MAHA Might Bring It Back

This was supposed to be the year of the MDMA revolution. About this time last year, prescription MDMA looked like a sure thing. After decades of clinical research, political wrangling, and aggressive promotion, the popular underground club drug was set to be tamed and medicalized, with a stamp of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Then, it wasn’t. In a stark change of course, the FDA rejected the MDMA therapy it had been considering by a 10-1 vote. The decision derailed psyched

TikTok gamifies mindfulness with 'well-being missions'

Or, hear me out: Put down your phone and breathe. TikTok’s latest answer to its addictiveness is gamified mindfulness tools. The app’s new Well-being Missions let you earn badges for completing challenges related to balanced digital habits. To be clear, mindfulness and dopamine-seeking mini-games are a contradictory pair. But hey, at least it’s healthier than doomscrolling. The first batch of TikTok’s "short, engaging missions" focuses on the platform’s existing digital well-being tools. (The

The best mini PCs of 2025: Expert recommended from Apple, Intel, and more

PCs no longer have to be the big, ugly beige boxes that devour desk real estate. These giant machines have given way to the mini PC -- a computer no bigger than a hardback book, but capable of handling demanding workloads. The mini PC market can be somewhat bewildering, so I've done a considerable amount of legwork to distill things down to a handful of choices, from the Intel NUC 13 workhorse to the AceMagician AMD Ryzen 9 Mini gaming PC, to the oftentimes overlooked Apple Mac Mini.

The FBI Is Reportedly Holding the Missing Footage From Outside Epstein's Cell

Despite official insistence to the contrary, insiders say that the US government is in possession of the "missing minute" from the footage outside of Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan jail cell when the infamous pedophile died. Earlier this month, attorney general Pam Bondi released what the Justice Department referred to as the "full raw" surveillance footage from outside Epstein's cell — a still frame of which is shown above — documenting nearly 11 hours of the outside of the disgraced financier's

The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use. The project's energy demands are difficult to overstate for Wyoming, the least populous US state. The initial
