Samsung bashes Chinese watches, says it’s already working on Galaxy Watch 9, 10

TL;DR Samsung recently compared its approach to smart wearables with Chinese fitness devices, claiming it focuses on “high quality.” It said that Chinese smartwatches offer seven to ten days of battery backup because they offer low-power components. Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 was launched just a month ago, but the company has already begu

Amid growing tensions and an escalating trade war between the United States and China, international business travelers may be understandably wary about traveling to the Chinese mainland. The US Department of State currently has a Level 2 travel advisory for China, instructing visitors to “exercise increased caution” because of the “arbitrary enforcement of local laws.” The reality on the ground is more complicated.

Nvidia says its AI chips don't have a 'kill switch' after Chinese accusation

cnbc.com Kif Leswing 2025-12-11 20:07:22

Nvidia on Tuesday rejected Chinese accusations that its data center GPUs for artificial intelligence include a hardware function that could remotely deactivate the chips, which is commonly called a "kill switch." "NVIDIA GPUs do not and should not have kill switches and backdoors," wrote Nvidia's Chief Security Officer David Reber in a blog post on Tuesday.

Deterministic Simulation Testing in Rust: A Theater of State Machines

It's been just a year since we wrote about how we implemented deterministic simulation testing (DST) of our Go database (FrostDB). Since then, we have been hard at work writing our new database backed by object storage in Rust (read more here about why). In this blog post, I want to lay out the approach we took to build our new Rust database with DST principles front-and-center and how it compares to the approach we took with FrostDB.

Nvidia's set to regain some China access. But it still faces eroding AI chip market share

Nvidia 's H20 chips are likely to return to China, but tech experts don't expect them to be met with the same fanfare in the market in light of new competition and regulatory scrutiny. The Trump administration last month gave Nvidia assurances that it would be permitted to resume sales of its H20 chips to China, after their exports had been effectively banned in April. It also announced a new "fully compliant" made-for-China chip. The move was seen as a huge win for the company, which had flag

As detailed in a new paper published today in the journal Joule, the team found that their proposed "photothermal strategy" — essentially converting light into heat — could effectively convert carbon dioxide from extracted water into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen gas, a "potential route for sustaining human life on the Moon and enabling long-term extraterrestrial exploration."
