Tether reveals USAT stablecoin, appoints Bo Hines, former White House advisor, to lead U.S. business

Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin, has named a CEO for its U.S. business and is launching a new token for U.S. institutions. The moves underscore Tether's commitment to regulatory engagement and entry into the U.S. The company, once accused of being a criminal's "go-to cryptocurrency" has been rebranding itself as a partner to American lawmakers and law enforcement since pro-crypto President Donald Trump's return to the White House. Bo Hines, who headed the Presidential Council of A

Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation , major players in the electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOL, space, said they are participating in the program. Shares of each were higher on Friday.

BMW says CarPlay Ultra is ‘not so exciting,’ disputes CarPlay popularity

CarPlay Ultra officially launched earlier this year, but one of the automakers who has so far said “no” to supporting Apple’s system—BMW—has just explained the reasoning for their decision. CarPlay’s future at BMW doesn’t appear very bright At a recent press event, BMW’s Senior Vice President of UI/UX Development, Stephan Durach, didn’t have very positive things to say about CarPlay Ultra. Steven Paul writes at BMWBLOG: “If you take a look at it, what I saw so far, it’s not so exciting,” Dur

Nintendo's Back in VR With a New Virtual Boy, Coming Next Year for Switch

I keep wondering when Nintendo will get back into VR -- I asked Shigeru Miyamoto about it earlier this year, in fact. Well, Nintendo's going back to VR, sort of: the Virtual Boy is back, baby. Retro games and a Virtual Boy accessory for the Switch and Switch 2 are coming Feb. 17 next year. The Virtual Boy was one of several things the company announced for Mario's 40th anniversary in a Direct livestream Friday, including new remasters of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. The failed 1996 stereoscopic

Is the iPhone Air a Klutz's Worst Nightmare?

Maybe I'm just getting bent out of shape, but the new iPhone Air seems like it would be my worst nightmare. The slim and trim version of the brand new iPhone 17 was the star of Apple's "awe dropping" September event, with Apple bragging they created a model that's only 5.6 mm thick, about the size of three stacked credit cards. But I have to ask: Did anyone really ask for a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro

Ex-DVD company employee gets 4 years for leaking Spider-Man Blu-ray

A former employee of a multinational DVD company was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing hundreds of pre-release DVDs and Blu-rays and leaking blockbuster movies online, the Department of Justice confirmed Thursday. Back in May, Steven Hale pleaded guilty to spending about a year between 2021 and 2022 stealing discs from his employer and selling them online through e-commerce sites. Among movies that Hale uploaded for illegal download were highly anticipated titles like Dune, as well

Small, affordable, efficient: A lot to like about the 2026 Nissan Leaf

Nissan provided flights from Austin to San Diego and then to Washington, DC, and accommodation so Ars could drive the Nissan Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SAN DIEGO—The original Nissan Leaf was a car with a mission. Long before Elon Musk set his sights on Tesla selling vast numbers of electric vehicles to the masses, then-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn wanted Nissan to shift half a million Leafs a year in the early 2010s. That didn't quite come to pass, but by 2020, it had sold its

Over three decades later, Nintendo remembers the Virtual Boy exists

Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work. Virtual Boy

I Wasn’t Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books—I Do Now

A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be—but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement for authors and publishers whose books were used to train an early version of its large language model, Claude. This came after a judge issued a summary judgement that it had pirated the books it used. The proposed agreement—which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge—would reportedly grant authors a minimum

How to Make Legacy Databases AI-Ready

A significant roadblock organizations face when taking advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is a legacy database. ITP.net reports that nearly 90 percent of businesses are hindered by legacy technologies, and approximately 62 billion data and analytics work hours are lost annually due to their inefficiencies. Organizations frequently grapple with legacy system issues, including security risks, increased costs, poor data accessibility, and slow AI model training. To

Google Home notifications go missing on Pixel 10, but Google’s working on a fix

Apple sold me on iPhone Air with just three words

I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks. But I always expected the iPhone Air’s battery would be “good

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a new platformer coming to the Switch 2 next spring

Nintendo is dropping a slew of Mario-related announcements this morning as part of the franchise's 40th anniversary, including a new game starring his dinosaur companion. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is coming out for Switch 2 in the Spring of 2026 and the brief bit of gameplay we saw plants it squarely in the cutesy yet intriguing tradition of past Yoshi platformers. The game's worlds and levels appear to be part of a book named Mr. Encyclopedia (or Mr. E for short) that Yoshi can jump into a

Nintendo is bringing back the Virtual Boy as a Switch and Switch 2 accessory

Nintendo had a truly wild surprise up its sleeve for Switch Online + Expansion Pack during its Direct event on Friday. The company is bringing back the Virtual Boy as a physical device into which you can slot your Switch or Switch 2. A plastic replica of the mid-90s tabletop system will soon be available for Switch Online members to buy. The company will sell a cardboard version of the accessory too. No need to rub your eyes in disbelief (but if history is any indication, you might have to for r

Pokémon Pokopia looks like Animal Crossing for Pokémon fans and I'm here for it

In one of the most unexpected announcements of today's Nintendo Direct, Game Freak revealed Pokémon Pokopia, a game that is clearly inspired by the Animal Crossing series. When Pokopia is released sometime next year, you'll assume the role of a Ditto determined to make a comfortable home for their friends. This Ditto has assumed the form of a human, and as they meet new Pokémon, they'll learn abilities they can use to transform their community. In turn, this work will lead to more Pokémon coming

Justice Department Announces Actions to Combat North Korean Remote IT Workers

Note: This press release has been updated to reflect new information regarding the guilty plea of one defendant in the District of Massachusetts. The Justice Department announced today coordinated actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) government’s schemes to fund its regime through remote information technology (IT) work for U.S. companies. These actions include two indictments, an information and related plea agreement, an arrest, searches of 29 known or suspec

Ten Years of D3D12

For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has been with us ever since. While it’s true that this is the longest we’ve gone between major D3D version updates, it’s also not fair to say that the API has remained static. On the contrary, D3D12 has received a steady stream of new interfaces, functions, and shader models. These updates have included some ver

China’s souring on Nvidia. Here’s why

Beijing is souring on Nvidia. China, which used to be one of Nvidia’s largest markets, seems largely conflicted about reaccepting Nvidia’s lower-tech H20 chips that Trump administration finally allowed to resume sales of in July. The Chinese tech industry might be excited about the Nvidia chip flow resuming, but the government is allegedly not. Chinese authorities have discouraged local tech companies from purchasing Nvidia chips citing national security concerns, and even questioned industry

The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate. However, instead of sporting its own screen, you’ll need to slot in your Switch 2 to create the classic black and red “3D” visuals. At first glance, the new Virtual Boy appears like a pitch-perfect remodel of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi’s odd kickstand-based console. The main difference is that there’s no scree

How Do You Sell People on VPNs? Just Say 'VPN' Over and Over and Over Again, Apparently

A tech company's text-heavy mural in London's trendy Shoreditch area, known for its street art, used the word "VPN" 24 times without actually explaining what a virtual private network is or does. Which was kinda the point. The eye-catching artwork was the creation of VPN provider Surfshark and graffiti art company KingMurals, which collaborated on a PR stunt. VPNs, or virtual private networks, create an encrypted tunnel that lets you engage in online activity without exposing your IP address,
