Trevor Milton's Nikola Case Dropped by SEC Following Trump Pardon

The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago. Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of securities fraud, received a pardon from the US President Donald Trump in March, a month after the Phoenix-based electric and hydrogen truck maker Nikola filed for bankrupcy. The full and unconditional presidential pardon overturned a four-year prison sentence, imposed in December 2023, for

Slow Liquid

September 18, 2025 After updating to iOS 26, I will add my voice to the chorus of dismay: this thing makes my phone run like shit! I recognize that mine isn’t the latest and greatest, but it’s only four years old — an iPhone 13 mini — and the pre­vious iOS ran perfectly: snappy and practical. I hope Apple can (literally) smooth things out. I realize there’s always an under­cur­rent to these releases of “maybe you should get a new phone … ” but in this case the per­for­mance hit feels either (1

The EU Just Killed ARR

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe. With the EU Data Act (effective September 2025), every SaaS contract with an EU customer becomes a “cancel anytime” subscription. Customers can walk away with two months’ notice. No e

Trump’s Golden Dome Projected to Cost Exponentially More Than the Manhattan Project

Donald Trump has many grand plans for America, one of the more ambitious of which is to create a giant invisible space shield that theoretically protects the country from rockets. In January, Trump announced, via executive order, the creation of a “Golden Dome,” designed to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, Trump said, would use a network of satellites to detect and repel aerial attacks on

The Eagles Come Home to Roost in the Most Screwball ‘Peacemaker’ Yet

Peacemaker season two is trucking right along, picking up from its last episode’s big cliffhanger, suspending the situationship of Christopher Smith and Emilia Harcourt for an entire week before viewers can see how the chips will fall. Will Eagly make it out okay? Does bird blindness have a cure? Will the shoe ever drop on the long-held fan theory that Chris’ “best dimension ever” is actually a Nazi dimension? Seeing as how writer-director James Gunn has kept mum about every episode beyond this

Tropical Storm Gabrielle Breaks ‘Unprecedented’ Atlantic Storm Drought

An exceptionally long lull in Atlantic storm activity finally came to an end Wednesday as Tropical Storm Gabrielle took shape. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expect this storm to strengthen into the second hurricane of the season by Sunday. Gabrielle’s emergence followed 20 days of no named storms in the Atlantic basin—a dry spell that WPLG-TV hurricane specialist Michael Lowry called “unprecedented” for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. As of Friday morning, Gabrielle ha

New iPhone 17 or Air on Your Radar? Get Ready for These Prices Today

As the newest iPhones hit the shelves today, the Apple faithful can count their blessings that they aren't paying more for the new phones. iPhones have never been cheap, but it was pretty clear when the prices for the new iPhone 17 lineup were revealed at Apple's fall iPhone event earlier this month that they could have gotten worse, considering the year of tariffs and other economic turmoil. CNET senior editor James Bricknell wasn't surprised by the iPhone prices. "Given the tariffs and all t

If iOS 26 is Draining Your iPhone's Battery, Apple Says It's Temporary

Apple released iOS 26 on Sept. 15, a few months after the company announced this year's iPhone software at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The update brings a lot of new features to your iPhone, like call screening, as well as a new Liquid Glass redesign. And Apple wrote online that if you download the update and notice your device's battery is draining faster than usual, that's normal and -- most important -- temporary.

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes are not tied to tariffs

Apple CEO Tim Cook said price hikes on the newest iPhone models aren't tied to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans. "There's no increase for tariffs in the prices to be totally clear," Cook told CNBC's Jim Cramer from Apple's Fifth Avenue store location in New York City, as the latest iPhone model launched in stores worldwide. It is one of the first instances in which Cook has decisively addressed tariffs in relation to iPhone prices. Earlier this month, Apple increased the price o

MIT Researchers Release Disturbing Paper About AI Boyfriends

How would you react if your mother admitted to you she was dating Aubrey "Drake" Graham, the rap superstar from Toronto? And that this new boyfriend wasn't the real flesh-and-blood Drake — oh no — but is instead the AI chatbot version of Champagne Papi. This is an actual situation that was relayed by the Drake-dating mother in question in a Reddit group with the self-explanatory name of r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, which is now the focus of a first-of-its-kind, large-scale study on human-AI companion int

The AI Bubble Bursting Would Actually Be Incredible for the Economy, Economist Says

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025. Yet, as bad as things might feel for common folk, financial markets have never looked better — the tech-dominated Nasdaq continues to reach record highs, and th

The new iPhone 17 Pro aluminum body may be more prone to scuffs and scratches

It’s iPhone 17 release day, and that means the internet is ready to start the next drama about the redesigned phones. One early concern is about the superficial durability of the iPhone 17 Pro aluminum chassis, especially on the darker color Deep Blue model. If this worries you, it’s a good time to buy a case. Because anodized aluminum still has the raw silver metal color underneath, any light nicks or scratches are much more visible to the eye, compared to similar wear and tear to the iPhone 1

OpenAI and Jony Ive poach Apple designers, target key suppliers for hardware push

Known. Emerging. Unstoppable? Ransomware Attacks Still Evade Defenses

No, it's not new or particularly exotic, but after years of attacks, ransomware continues to rank among the most destructive threats facing global organizations today. Even with security teams pouring significant resources into prevention and detection efforts, attackers are still finding ways to bypass their defenses. Double extortion has become the default approach, with groups encrypting systems and stealing sensitive data for leverage. Some actors are now skipping the encryption step entir

Court lets NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in research grants

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard. The plaintiffs had argued that NSF's mass terminations were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to the cou

As Android developer verification gets ready to go, a new reason to be worried

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps. Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate. One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection. Android’s approach to software openness is changing in some fundamental ways right now, and the shift has not been
