Trump advisor Navarro rips Apple's Tim Cook, saying he's not moving production out of China fast enough

White House trade advisor Peter Navarro criticized Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday over the company's response to pressure from the Trump administration to make more of its products outside China. "Going back to the first Trump term, Tim Cook has continually asked for more time in order to move his factories out of China," Navarro said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

US may get its own glitchy version of TikTok if Trump’s deal works out

Could Donald Trump possibly follow through on his campaign promise to save TikTok by finally making a deal that keeps the app operating in the US without compromising America's national security? Outlook not so good. Despite The Information reporting that a new version of TikTok is being prepped to launch in the US market this September, even Trump can't be sure the deal is imminent. "We pretty much have a deal," Trump recently told reporters on Air Force One, suggesting that he thinks he wil

How SharkNinja took over the home, with CEO Mark Barrocas

It’s summertime, which means it’s time for our annual grilling episode. In years past we’ve talked to the leaders of Big Green Egg, Traeger, and Blackstone, and it’s always fascinating how those companies have all the same kinds of problems and ideas as any of the tech companies we have on the show. In fact it’s funny — in what can only be described as a perfectly Decoder situation, I really wanted to have Blackstone CEO Roger Dahle back on the show this year because his griddle company is such

Tesla shares drop 8% after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party

Musk said over the weekend that the party would be called the "America Party" and could focus "on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts." He suggested this would be "enough to serve as the deciding vote on conte

New quantum paradox clarifies where our views of reality go wrong (2018)

That quantum mechanics is a successful theory is not in dispute. It makes astonishingly accurate predictions about the nature of the world at microscopic scales. What has been in dispute for nearly a century is just what it’s telling us about what exists, what is real. There are myriad interpretations that offer their own take on the question, each requiring us to buy into certain as-yet-unverified claims — hence assumptions — about the nature of reality. Now, a new thought experiment is confro

Trump Declares Musk a ‘Train Wreck’ After Party Launch

The friendship that once saw Elon Musk serve in the White House is officially and explosively over. In a lengthy and personal tirade posted to Truth Social on Sunday, President Donald Trump unloaded on his former ally, expressing his profound disappointment and casting Musk as an ungrateful and confused figure who has gone “completely ‘off the rails.'” The catalyst for the public condemnation was Musk’s launch of “The America Party,” a third-party movement aimed at disrupting the two-party syst

This No-Subscription Smart Ring Shamed Me Into Changing My Unhealthy Habits

As a veteran smartwatch and fitness tracker reviewer, it's rare that I get to approach a product with a completely fresh set of eyes, but that's what happened with the Ultrahuman Ring Air. This was the first smart ring I had ever tested, and in some ways, that made me the perfect person to review it. I approached it not as a seasoned biohacker, but as someone experiencing it the way most buyers would: curious, a little skeptical, and wondering whether it could replace my smartwatch. Better yet,

Neanderthals operated prehistoric “fat factory” on German lakeshore

Neanderthals in central Germany 125,000 years ago employed an advanced method of food preparation, according to a recent study: systematically stripping fat from the bones of large animals using water and heat. The practice, uncovered at the Neumark-Nord 2 archaeological site, shows that Neanderthals had a much more advanced conception of nutrition, planning, and resource management than previously believed. The research, published in Science Advances, was conducted by international researchers

1945 TV Console Showed Two Programs at Once

As I try to write this article, my friend and I have six different screens attached to three types of devices. We’re working in the same room but on our own projects—separate yet together, a comfortable companionship. I had never really thought of the proliferation of screens as a peacekeeping tool until I stumbled across one of Allen B. DuMont’s 1950s dual-screen television sets. DuMont’s idea was to let two people in the same room watch different programs. It reminded me of my early childhood

Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to get human workers to fix the technology's screwups. As the BBC reports, there's now something of a cottage industry for writers and coders who specialize in fixing AI's mistakes — and those who are good at it are using the opportunity to rake in cash. Sarah Skidd, an American product marketing manager, told the British broadcaster that she's not concerned about being replaced by the technology because, as her recent w

Move Over Messi: China’s New Robot Soccer League Is Wild!

China has officially launched its first humanoid robot football league. And while the players may not breathe, they’re already learning to dribble, shoot, fall, and get back up.

Volunteer finds Holy Grail of abolitionist-era Baptist documents

By MICHAEL CASEY GROTON, Mass. (AP) — Jennifer Cromack was combing through the American Baptist archive when she uncovered a slim box among some 18th and 19th century journals. Opening it, she found a scroll in pristine condition. A closer look revealed the 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long) document was a handwritten declaration titled “A Resolution and Protest Against Slavery,” signed by 116 New England ministers in Boston and adopted March 2, 1847. Until its discovery in May at the archives in Gr

Why the simplest desktop agent abstraction wins

This is first post in a series about the design and implementation of Bytebot . Give us a star on our open source repo . We’re still in the early innings of AI agents.

YouTube Premium offers many more perks that I didn’t know I was paying for

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been subscribed to YouTube Premium for many years now, and yet I didn’t know what I was exactly paying for. In my mind, I always associated Premium with an ad-free experience; being able to get rid of all those pesky long and interrupting ads before or while watching a video is alone worth the price. Adding the family benefits for my husband, and the fact that this works everywhere, including on our TVs, makes it more of a no-brainer. Even though I don’t

Elon Musk Rekindles Trump Criticism, Attacks ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

The long-simmering feud between President Donald Trump and his former ‘first buddy’ Elon Musk is showing signs of boiling over once more. Following the passing of Trump’s signature “One Big Beautiful Bill” that will offer tax breaks to the wealthy while kicking millions off of Medicaid, Musk publicly supported Senator Rand Paul’s criticism (one of the few Republican ‘no’ votes in the Senate), specifically Paul’s assertion that the bill would ‘explode the deficit. Rand posted on X, “The Big Not-
