engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-10 09:42:27

The Classic is a strange Mac—it was introduced in 1990 as a budget version of the 1986 Macintosh Plus, with

In Brief Beijing may have thrown a wrench into Nvidia’s plans on making a comeback in China’s AI market. Nvidia has instructed its component suppliers to stop production related to its H20 AI chip, according to The Information.
