Trump says he has group of ‘very wealthy people’ ready to buy TikTok

U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview aired on Sunday that he has a group of "very wealthy people" ready to buy TikTok, whose identities he can reveal in about two weeks. Trump added that the deal will probably need Beijing's approval to move forward, but said "I think President Xi will probably do it

Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor

Apple’s current entry-level laptop is the $999 MacBook Air, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple is aiming to launch an even more affordable model soon. He writes on X that Apple will go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on a new MacBook model that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip, rather than an M-series processor. This is the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro line. The machine may feature colorful casing options, including silver, pink and yellow. Unfortunately, it isn’t yet

To her great misfortune, soon after her marriage, Mrs. Price has nine children in 11 years, with not nearly enough money to support them, and in desperation she agitates for a rapprochement among the sisters, and the rich Bertram family at last deigns to help.

The F1 movie is a cinema smash hit, on track to outperform combined box office of all previous Apple originals films

Whatever you think about Apple’s in-your-face advertising tactics, it seems to be paying off. The F1 movie is set to take in about $145 million in its opening weekend at the box office, with $55.6 million domestic. This easily outstrips any of Apple Original Film’s prior theatrical debuts, and sets the movie on a path to exceed the gross box office of all previous Apple films … combined. Apple releases almost all of its original films in small scale showings for some easy press attention and t

Scientists Playing God are Building Human DNA From the Ground Up

Why Go Rocks for Building a Lua Interpreter

By Roxy Light I recently needed to build a custom Lua interpreter in Go. The exact reasons aren’t important for this blog post, but neither the reference implementation — which I will be referring to as “C Lua” throughout this article — nor the other open source Go Lua intepreters I could find were a good fit for my needs. Building a Lua interpreter ended up being a rather enjoyable months-long side quest. I’ve had a number of folks ask me to write about the experience since these sorts of proj

Trump Says “Very Wealthy People” Are Ready to Buy TikTok

Just weeks after extending the deadline for its sale for a third time, President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he has found a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations. The popular social media app has been under intense pressure due to a law passed in 2024 that requires its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. The legislation stems from bipartisan concern in Washington that the Chinese government could access the data of American users or use the app

The Best Printers for Home and Office: Brother, HP, and More

Before anything else, you'll have to decide between ink and laser. I'll get into the details when it comes to each model, but the most important consideration is paper type, because it’s a limitation rather than a benefit. Laser printers use heat in the bonding process, which means if you regularly print on windowed envelopes or photo paper, you'll need to either use an ink printer or change to a thermally-safe alternative, which can be cost prohibitive if you print a lot. Inkjets are the most

Brother printer hack puts thousands of users at risk of remote takeover

‘Predator: Badlands’ Joins Disney’s San Diego Comic-Con Plans

The hunt will be on at San Diego Comic-Con, where Predator: Badlands will get the spotlight. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi film will get a Hall H panel during the convention weekend. It’ll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October’s Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year’s convention, and it’ll be the Predator franchise’s first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black’s 2018 reboot. (P

2025’s Best 3D Printers Are the Best I’ve Seen in a Decade

What I like: I rarely find a product that impresses me, but the A1 Combo from Bambu Lab left me genuinely amazed with its performance and value. This 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Plus, its four-color printing capability for less than $700 is such a good deal; I'm still baffled by how the company pulls off that pricing. The CNET test print from the Bambu Lab A1 is nearly perfect.
