Nvidia to exclude China from its revenue and profit forecasts

In Brief Nvidia doesn’t think the U.S. will backpedal its chip export restrictions to China anytime soon. The chipmaker is so convinced of that fact that it’s not going to include the Chinese market in its revenue and profit forecasts, CEO Jensen Huang told CNN on Thursday. Huang said he’s not counting on the Trump administration reversing its chip export controls and that it would be a nice “bonus” if they did. The Trump administration introduced licensing requirements for Nvidia’s H20 chip

Show HN: Tattoy – a text-based terminal compositor

About Tattoy can generally be thought of as a framework for adding eye-candy to your terminal. It is purely text-based so works in any terminal emulator that supports true colour. "Graphics" is rendered with UTF8 half-blocks (▀,▄). Whilst most of its effects are for getting you street credibility it also has more powerful features based around its awareness of terminal contents. For example it can detect and auto adjust text contrast whilst remaining faithful to the terminal's palette. Tattoy

9 Best 2-in-1 Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop. Think of this as a touchscreen clamshell laptop with a fancy hinge. The flexibility

Tesla's new Model S and X vehicles are now available in the US

Tesla has officially launched new versions of the Model S and the Model X in the US. As Electrek notes, however, the upgrades may not be quite as big or compelling as one could hope when the vehicles now cost $5,000 more. The automaker has posted a list of updates for the vehicles on X, including a new Frost Blue paint color option and a range of up to 410 miles for the Model S Long Range version, which is Tesla's longest range yet. Getting the Frost Blue paint will cost buyers $2,500 more, howe

Razer Knows You Sickos Always Wanted an iPad Mobile Controller

Everybody who’s ever held a phone controller secretly, in their heart of hearts, wanted to know what it would be like if one could stretch so large you could attach it to your favorite tablet instead of your phone. The previous Razer Kishi Ultra was already big enough that it could fit the 8.3-inch screen of an iPad mini. For the next rendition, Razer said, “screw it” and created a mobile controller that can extend so large it could fit your 13-inch iPad Air, becoming the most excessive way you

Iconiq VCs spent two years courting Chime and the firm isn’t selling its stake

The VC tech world was abuzz on Thursday when neobank Chime successfully became a public company. Chime raised $864 million on a its $27 share price, which popped big, opening at $43. This wasn’t the biggest IPO of the year. CoreWeave, for instance, raised $1.5 billion in March, and its first-day market cap hit around $14 billion, too. (Its share price and valuation has soared since then). However, Chime’s cap table includes an absolute who’s who of Silicon Valley investors, many of whom are pu

How Long Can I Leave Fresh Chicken in the Fridge?

I often use the best meat delivery services to get high-quality chicken delivered straight to my home. But sometimes I don't use it all and need to store the leftovers. If you're wondering how long your chicken will last in the fridge, here's some intel that may keep you from eating spoiled meat. This is especially important because summer is almost here and poultry is a higher-risk meat than beef due to its propensity to develop E. coli and other foodborne illnesses.

I love the Kishi V3 Pro, but the Razer Tax is real

Razer Kishi V3 Pro The Razer Kishi V3 Pro is the best purely telescopic mobile controller you can get right now. It has swappable TMR sticks and a ton of extra buttons, all of which are customizable. The build quality is terrific, it's comfortable to use, and the companion Razer Nexus app offers a ton of great features with no subscription needed. At an MSRP of $149, you need to be living the luxury life to buy it, but if you can justify the cost you'll love the Kishi V3 Pro. Whenever I review

Worldwide power grid with glass insulated HVDC cables

Worldwide power grid with glass insulated HVDC cables. Moving electricity around the world has huge financial and environmental benefits.

Idea Fused silica (glass) is a really good insulator (500 MV/m, vs 150 MV/mm for XLPE plastic), and is very cheap. By using it as cable insulation, cables can

The curse of Toumaï: an ancient skull and a bitter feud over humanity's origins

On a late-summer day in 2001, at the University of Poitiers in west-central France, the palaeontologist Michel Brunet summoned his colleagues into a classroom to examine an unusual skull. Brunet had just returned from Chad, and brought with him an extremely ancient cranium. It had been distorted by the aeons spent beneath what is now the Djurab desert; a crust of black mineral deposits left it looking charred and slightly malevolent. It sat on a table. “What is this thing?” Brunet wondered aloud

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S

‘Sunshine’ and ‘Event Horizon’ Bring Deep-Space Madness to Gruesome Heights

Millions of miles from Earth, a spaceship receives a distress call—so its crew changes course to investigate. Disaster follows. That’s famously the set-up for Alien, but it’s used often in sci-fi stories, including 1997’s Event Horizon and 2007’s Sunshine. Sunshine’s been in the news since director Danny Boyle revealed he’d originally hoped it would kick off a trilogy; that never happened, because like Event Horizon, it flopped at the box office. But both Sunshine and Event Horizon have since e

Chime almost died in 2016, turned down by 100 VCs — today it IPO’d at $14.5B

One of the year’s most anticipated IPOs took place on Thursday when neobank Chime raised $864 million in its IPO, pricing its shares at $27, which is above its previously announced range of $24 to $26. That gave it a starting market cap of about $9.8 billion. While some would point out that this is far below its last private valuation of $25 billion, according to PitchBook’s estimates, shares opened at $42, putting it at $14.5 by midday in heavy trading, according to Yahoo Finance.

Apple Execs Get Seriously Flustered Trying to Explain the Company's Dismal AI Failure

Apple is facing some intense scrutiny after yet again flubbing its AI tech. During the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, the company showed off its latest vision for "Apple Intelligence," a suite of tools that use machine learning to scan images for objects or smush emojis together to form custom Franken-reacts — cutesy ideas that fall vastly short of the ambition of competitors in the space like OpenAI. The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern sat down with Apple's software
