Taiwan blacklists China's Huawei and SMIC, further aligning with U.S. trade policy

cnbc.com Dylan Butts 2025-10-03 14:55:58

The U.S. has placed major chip export restrictions on Huawei and Chinese firms over the past few years. This has cut off companies' access to critical semiconductors. Taiwan has added China's Huawei and SMIC to its trade blacklist in a move that further aligns it with U.S. trade policy and comes amid growing tensions with Beijing. The two leading Chinese chip firms have been put on Taiwan's "Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List," along with many of their international subsidiaries. Tai

Apple Fitness could benefit greatly from one simple expansion

Apple has definitely built up quite a compelling ecosystem around the Apple Watch. Between all of its fitness challenges, activity rings, and competitions – Apple has certainly found a way to make exercise fun for a lot of people. The problem? Some people simply don’t like the form factor of a smartwatch. The proposal To put it short, I think Apple should allow third party health trackers to integrate with the Apple Fitness app. The catch?

Despite being an e-ink tablet, it does get quite pricey.

The best Mini ITX PC cases of 2025: Expert recommended

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2025-10-03 10:00:36

I'm old enough to remember when PCs were huge, looming units. They had to be big to hold all the components that made up a PC. As gaming PCs became a thing, these were even bigger because the high-end components generated a lot of heat. In turn, the heat had to be dissipated with copious amounts of airflow. Thanks to Moore's law, components have become smaller and more efficient, to the point where even a gaming PC can fit into a surprisingly compact case. Also: The best portable power stations

SEO for chatbots: How Adobe aims to help brands get noticed in the age of AI

In recent years, numerous plaintiffs—including publishers of books, newspapers, computer code, and photographs—have sued AI companies for training models using copyrighted material. A key question in all of these lawsuits has been how easily AI models produce verbatim excerpts from the plaintiffs’ copyrighted content.

Reinventing circuit breakers with supercritical CO2

Researchers this month will begin testing a high-voltage circuit breaker that can quench an arc and clear a fault with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. The first-of-its-kind device could replace conventional high-voltage breakers, which use the potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride, or SF 6. Such equipment is scattered widely throughout power grids as a way to stop the flow of electrical current in an emergency. “SF 6 is a fantastic insulator, but it’s very bad for the environment—probab

Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look

news.ycombinator.com George Musser 2025-10-03 09:36:41

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides. The object on the left absorbs the particles coming from the left, the one on the right absorb
