Intel stock rises as Trump says chipmaker has agreed to sell stake to government

Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer of Intel Corp., departs following a meeting at the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025. Intel shares rose about 6% on Friday after Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration is poised to announce that the U.S. government will take an equity stake in the struggling chipmaker. Following the report, President Donald Trump said the government should get about 10% of the company, which has a market cap of just over $100 billion. "Th

The issue of anti-cheat on Linux

The number of people choosing Linux as their primary operating system to play games has been slowly but steadily going up, at least according to the Steam hardware survey. This is most likely because of the Steam Deck release and the increasingly obnoxious features being added to Windows. If you switch to Linux today, you’ll probably be surprised by how many games run out of the box just fine (mostly due to the Windows compatibility layer Proton built right into Steam), except for basically all

Ether surges, trading close to its record again after Powell speech teasing rate cuts

The second-largest cryptocurrency was last higher by 12% at $4,738.91, according to Coin Metrics. Last week, ether nearly touched its 2021 all-time high of $4,866.01, before falling as low as the $4,000 level this Tuesday. The price of ether rebounded to near-record levels on Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at upcoming rate cuts and investors returned to risk-on mode. The moves came during Powell's annual address from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. "With policy in restrictive t

Apple considers Google Gemini to power next-gen Siri, internal AI ‘bake-off’ underway

Apple seems open to anything and everything when it comes to delivering the next generation of Siri. After reports that it could be powered by OpenAI or Anthropic, Google has entered the conversation. Mark Gurman reports for Bloomberg that Google, which offers a ChatGPT competitor called Gemini, is actually training a model that could run on Apple’s servers to power the new Siri experience: The iPhone maker recently approached Alphabet Inc.’s Google to explore building a custom AI model that w

The Division 2: Survivors will bring 'survival extraction' to the series

On Friday, Ubisoft announced… something. The company describes The Division 2: Survivors as "an updated take on the survival extraction experience." Is it DLC? Is it a new game mode? We have no idea. But Ubisoft said it will "strive for transparency during its development." Unfortunately, that didn't apply to its announcement. Ubisoft said Survivors is in its early stages, which may explain the lack of detail. Other media outlets have reported that it will come in 2026. But the company's franch

Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

Kimbal Musk on Elon's Tesla pay package: 'My brother deserves to be paid'

Kimbal Musk, the younger brother of the world's wealthiest person, said Elon Musk "deserves to be paid," as Tesla remains locked in a legal saga over its CEO's pay package. "I think my brother deserves to be paid," Kimbal Musk said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Friday. "He has zero pay for the past six to eight years. I don't think that's right. I'll let Tesla shareholders make that decision, but I believe that it does need to be. He needs to be paid." Elon Musk isn't paid a salary or any cash bon

Want the Pixel 10 Pro? 5 phones I recommend buying instead - and why

Android 16’s new Wallet shortcut is missing on some Pixels, and Google won’t say why

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 adds a shortcut to open Google Wallet with a power button double-press, but Google has limited this feature to the Pixel 8 and newer devices. Despite no apparent technical limitations, Google intentionally disabled the gesture on older phones like the Pixel 7 Pro, offering no clear reason for the decision. The feature was manually enabled on an unsupported Pixel 7 Pro and worked perfectly, suggesting the hardware is capable and the limitation is

AYANEO’s ‘budget-friendly’ handheld doesn’t sound all that budget-friendly

7 things about the Pixel 10 series you didn’t hear at Made by Google

The Made by Google event was very, very different this year. Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, the launch was more like an hour-long segment of The Tonight Show — his regular hosting gig — than any tech launch we’ve seen before. This was by design. Google wanted the launch of the Pixel 10 series to be for everyone, not just tech nerds. In that respect, it was a resounding success, with the stream currently sitting at 6.6 million views, as of me writing this sentence. However successful it might have been

Netflix's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch animated series arrives on October 14

Ubisoft still isn’t giving us a new Splinter Cell game, but Sam Fisher fans are at least getting an animated TV adaptation very soon. At this week’s Anime NYC convention, Netflix revealed a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and confirmed that the series will come to the service on October 14. Written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad and starring Liev Schreiber as an older — but still decidedly badass — Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch was first announced back

5 of the best Pixel 10 chargers you should buy instead of Google’s 67W brick

Google has a new charger for the Pixel 10 series, offering 67W of peak power spread across two USB-C ports. As an official product, this is the safe bet for guaranteed fast charging, but it’s also more power than you might need, and it’s not exactly the most affordable plug on the market either. Likewise, perhaps you’re after just a single-port plug or maybe want something that can power your laptop and tablet as well as your new Pixel? To help, I’ve dug out some of the best chargers money can b

The Pixel 10 camera feature I’m most excited for isn’t the one you think

There aren’t many things more exciting than a packed list of new Google Pixel camera features. It’s about as close as I get to the feeling of waking up on Christmas morning — just, you know, in late August. So, when Google unveiled everything from increased maximum zoom to Auto Best Take to a Camera Coach to help compose images, I felt it had pretty much checked off my list for Santa. But then, as I looked closer, I realized that one Pixel 10 camera feature would probably outweigh all the rest.

My favorite Google AI features from the Pixel 10 launch

The Made By Google event was not only a showcase of Google’s latest Pixel hardware, but a launchpad for many new AI features. I’m typically skeptical of the current generation of AI, but as I checked out the new software across various demo sessions, I found myself more and more intrigued. It seems like Google, along with Apple and Samsung, has been working on making these AI-powered updates more helpful in a way that might actually make our lives easier or simply more fun. There wasn’t enough

Outdated IT help desks are holding businesses back - but there is a solution

Even Elon Musk’s Fans Are Making Fun of Him Now

Elon Musk has spent recent weeks promoting his AI tool Grok with an endless parade of animated women in scanty clothing. And while that’s not entirely surprising, the reaction from Musk’s own fans on X is becoming quite comical. Because even people who really like the billionaire Tesla CEO are starting to poke fun at the idea that he seems obsessed with AI-generated sex dolls. “It appears Elon has shifted focus from Mars to Uranus,” one Musk fan tweeted Thursday, ribbing him for his torrent of

Google Chose Durability Over Sleekness for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and That's OK

When Samsung debuted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the spotlight was on how thin and light that foldable phone is. On Wednesday, Google took a different approach when unveiling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, focusing more on internal upgrades like a larger 5,015-mAh battery and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance -- a major step in the world of foldables -- while sticking roughly with the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Both Samsung's and Google's updates are designed to make foldable phones

The Pixel Watch 4 can track 12 new sports, and I’m really excited about one of them

TL;DR The Google Pixel Watch 4 adds support for 12 new sport modes. The watch now tracks more than 50 unique activity types. Among the added sports is Pickleball, a widely popular court sport that I love. The Pixel Watch 4 just gave athletes and casual movers even more reasons to lace up. Google’s latest smartwatch now supports tracking for more than 50 sports and activities, up from just over 40 on the previous generation. That’s a solid bump for anyone who likes to dabble in different worko

Like it or not, your Pixel will now lower your headphones’ loud audio

Bogdan Petrovan / Android Authority TL;DR Google is bringing a new “Hearing Wellness” feature to Pixel devices to notify you about prolonged exposure to loud audio. The feature will lower your headphones’ volume to safer limits to prevent any hearing loss. The feature is turned on by default and cannot be turned off in certain regions. Continued exposure to loud volumes is linked with potential permanent ear damage, and with the prevalence of in-ear wireless earbuds, concerns about hearing l
