futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-22 13:13:06

Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency is gutting the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has a long history of investigating the unelected White House advisor's EV maker Tesla. As the Washington Post reports, between 70 and 80 people — or roughly ten percent of the small agency's headcount — will be cut. As its name suggests, it's tasked with ensuring drivers and passengers are safe on American roads. The even smaller team that oversees autonomous vehic

Google may be about to face some actual consequences for promoting its own stuff

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-22 19:12:03

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR EU regulators want to see Google Search stop prioritizing Google services over those offered by third parties.

Now the EU may be about to formally charge Google for violating Digital Markets Act anti-competition rules. Google’s pretty much always facing legal or regulatory obstacles from somewhere, and over the years we’ve seen the company bob and

What's an Eight Sleep? A little while ago I asked my infosec Twitter followers what IoT device in my house they thought I found a live AWS key in. (For those that don’t know, Amazon keys can be incredibly dangerous if exposed) Guesses ranged from a refrigerator to a bidet, but no one got it right. The right answer was my bed.
