Reddit is restricting its availability to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-03 17:00:35

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is the latest victim of Reddit's crackdown on data access. The company has begun to place new restrictions on what the archive site will be able to access in a move that will significantly limit the Wayback Machine's ability to preserve information from Reddit.

Trump admin stops illegal freeze of $5B EV charger funds after losing in court

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-03 17:12:08

The Trump administration has finally issued new guidance that states can use to dole out $5 billion in funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, after spending months withholding the money. A coalition of states sued over the funding freeze in the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was one of the administration’s many attempts to stop funding appropriated by Congress at the start of Donald Trump’s second term. A judge ruled in June that those states were
