Senate passes GENIUS Act—criticized as gifting Trump ample opportunity to grift

Critics have long warned that Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency push as president, coupled with his links to his family's growing crypto empire, create substantial conflicts of interest that must be probed. But so far, nothing has stopped Trump's family from seemingly benefiting from the presidency while expanding their empire. And now, Trump is rushing regulation through Congress that many Democrats fear could create his biggest conflict of interest yet. On Tuesday, the Senate passed the GENI

OnePlus could challenge Lenovo with this rumored gaming tablet

OnePlus has been pushing hard into the tablet space this year, and we might be about to see the manufacturer expand those ambitions.

I set up portable solar panels in my backyard for a month - and the results impressed me

ZDNET's key takeaways The EcoFlow 125W bifacial solar panels cost $899 for a four-pack. They're portable panels that you can take with you or set up temporarily without construction, with easy setup, and lightweight construction Though portable, these bifacial solar panels feel very fragile, so they must be weighed down if conditions are windy; their low 125W input also limits their capacity. $899 at Amazon I see more hurricanes in a year than I'd like, so I ensure my house is prepared to wea

OnePlus tablets are getting one of Android’s best, and one of its worst, productivity features

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The latest OxygenOS 15 update brings Google’s Circle to Search and a new floating taskbar to the OnePlus Open and OnePlus Pad 2. Circle to Search allows users to quickly search anything on their screen by tapping, highlighting, or drawing over it. The floating taskbar, while aiming to balance productivity and screen real estate, lacks a quick toggle to switch styles and on tablets, it requires disabling gesture navigation for the fixed version.

Amazon and Walmart May Issue Their Own Company-Crypto

Retailers like Amazon and Walmart pay fees to credit card companies every time a customer uses their Visa or Mastercard.

In fact, they may even issue their own stablecoins, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. Amazon’s efforts to develop a stablecoin are still in t

It’s time for OnePlus tablets to copy the iPad

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I like the OnePlus Pad 3 — in fact, it might be my favorite Android tablet right now. It’s big and powerful, yet light enough and slim enough for life on the go. There’s just one problem: It costs $700. The series didn’t always cost that much, but it does now, and there’s no good way around that. There’s also no good way to recommend another OnePlus tablet to someone who can’t afford the Pad 3, because OnePlus has a habit of retiring its older slates as soon as a
