arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-20 05:07:52

A federal appeals court rejected T-Mobile's attempt to overturn $92 million in fines for selling customer location information to third-party firms. The Federal Communications Commission last year fined T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon, saying the carriers illegally shared access to customers' location information without consent and did not take reasonable measures to protect that sensitive data against unauthorized disclosure. The fines relate to sharing of real-time location data that was reveale

Trump Mobile’s latest ads ditch Android reality for a golden iPhone fantasy

Trump Mobile on X TL;DR Trump Mobile’s marketing materials now show a gold iPhone embossed with the carrier’s branding and the American flag. The device looks nothing like the T1 Phone, which the company is currently taking orders for on its website.

According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets.

Analysts downplay AI bubble worries as Altman says some investors will be left 'very burnt'

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2025-11-21 11:51:21

The artificial intelligence boom that Sam Altman helped ignite with ChatGPT in late 2022 is starting to make even him uneasy. Startups with little more than a pitch deck are raising hundreds of millions. Valuations have become "insane." Capital is chasing a "kernel of truth" with feverish speed. The OpenAI CEO still believes the long-term societal upside of AI will outweigh the froth, and he's ready to keep spending in pursuit of that goal.

How Could Frodo Be in ‘The Hunt for Gollum’?

This weekend, Ian McKellen had a bit of Hobbiton-disturber-of-the-peace energy about himself when he revealed at a fantasy convention in London that Frodo Baggins would appear in Andy Serkis’ upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel movie, The Hunt for Gollum. Frodo is far from the only familiar face who has been teased as making a potential appearance in the film (due out in 2027), but he is a particularly interesting one considering the chronology of events we already know from Tolkien’s books.

The Download: pigeons’ role in developing AI, and Native artists’ tech interpretations

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is American psychologist B.F. Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century. Skinner believed that association—learning, through trial and error, to link an action with a punishment or reward—was the building block of every behavior, not just

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

news.ycombinator.com Hannah Ritchie 2025-11-22 15:53:20

It’s always the battery in my mobile phone that gives up on me first. After just a few years, it can barely make it through the day without getting another charge. Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”. And I think it’s even more prominent in the second-hand market: “Oh, I’d never bu
