Trump says he won't 'destroy' Musk's companies by taking away subsidies

Elon Musk receives a golden key from U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 30, 2025. REUTERS/Nathan Howard President Donald Trump on Thursday denied claims that he wants to wreck Elon Musk's companies and their work with the U.S. government. "Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government," he said in a post to Truth Social. "Th

Interstellar Visitor Zipping Through Our Solar System Could Be a Hostile Probe, Alien-Hyping Scientists Warn

There’s a visitor in town, and its name is 3I/ATLAS. The presumed interstellar comet presents a rare opportunity for astronomers to study an object born a long time ago in a star system far, far away. But a new paper uploaded to the preprint arXiv server asks an intriguing question: Is the object actually alien technology? For Harvard astronomer and study co-author Abraham Loeb, this is not his first interstellar rodeo. In 2018, Loeb proposed that the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua might be an a

Killing Floor 3 Review: Two Bloody Steps Forward, One Step Back

Killing Floor 3 is a case study in contradictions, positively iterating on the best aspects from the series' past while introducing confusing features that would make more sense in another game. Put simply, the new changes make Killing Floor 3 a AA-feeling horde shooter with a battle pass. It's a pick-up-and-play arcade game with a loadout system. But most bafflingly of all, the game introduces a complex, grindy weapon modding system even though there's a rather limited arsenal to stuff all tho

The Best Co-op Games to Play With Your Friends in Every Scenario

Despite how gaming has changed over the years, one thing remains the same -- people love playing games together. Whether you're solving a puzzle, hunting monsters or escaping Hell, it's better with a friend (or three). It should come as no surprise that games like Split Fiction and It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios, which focus on cooperative play, were critical successes. Some of my best memories are marathon gaming sessions with friends, squished together on a couch or logging in online fro

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats. That's what one team of cybersecurity researchers found in the form of Airportr, a UK-based luggage service that p

The ICJ Rules That Failing to Combat Climate Change Could Violate International Law

If a country fails to take decisive action to protect the planet from climate change, it could be breaking international law and be held liable for damages caused to humanity. This is one of the conclusions of an unprecedented advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legal obligations of states in the face of this environmental crisis. The 15 judges that make up the ICJ, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, described the need to address the threat o

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 might charge on its side

Google’s rumored Pixel Watch 4 may charge on its side rather than on its back, based on leaked official renders of the watch published by Android Headlines. The watch may also get a roughly 25 percent improvement in charging speed over the Pixel Watch 3. Without charging contacts on the back, the Pixel Watch 4 will now have a “new array of sensors,” Android Headlines says. Th

Google’s new Web View search experiment organizes results with AI

Google on Thursday is launching a new AI-powered feature called Web Guide for organizing Google Search results. Web Guide is a Search Labs experiment that leverages AI technology to organize the search results page by grouping pages related to specific aspects of the search query. Search Labs experiments are a way for Google to test out new ideas by letting users opt in to those they find interesting. The experiments can be turned on or off at any time and include things like Google’s AI Mode,

Elon Musk Warns That Tesla Board Could Fire Him "If I Go Crazy"

As widely expected, Tesla's latest business fundamentals are not looking good. During the company's second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday, Tesla reported a whopping 16 percent decline in automotive revenue, its biggest drop in over a decade. There are no two ways about it: Tesla is in a full-blown crisis under Musk's leadership. The mercurial CEO has massively tarnished the company's brand, leading to plummeting sales. At some level, even Musk seems to get it. The richest man in the world

Mitel warns of critical MiVoice MX-ONE authentication bypass flaw

MX-ONE is the company's SIP-based communications system, which can scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.

Meta Ray-Bans vs. Oakley: I tested both smart glasses, there's a clear winner

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Following the success of the Meta Ray-Bans, the company partnered with luxury eyewear brand Oakley, appealing to an entirely new demographic of users -- athletes and outdoorsy types who appreciate a more rugged pair of shades. Both smart glasses have built-in speakers, mics, cameras, and AI, with the same functionalities for capturing videos and audio playback, be that music, a phone call, or the Meta AI assistant. However, there are some major differences in specs and desi

There is no memory safety without thread safety

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs

Josh Brolin Doesn’t Seem Enthused About a Potential ‘Goonies 2’

Forty years have passed since The Goonies delighted audiences and captured the adventurous imaginations of a generation. In that time, talk of a sequel has never ended, but as of earlier this year, it’s more real than it ever has been. Warner Bros. has, as of a few months back, hired someone to write a Goonies 2. And while many of the original cast members have been very vocal and excited about the idea, the group’s elder statesman, Josh Brolin, seems much less enthusiastic. Brolin, who went on

Uber Is Finally Making It Easier for Riders to Avoid Male Drivers

For women in the U.S., getting a ride with a woman driver on Uber is about to get easier. On Wednesday, Uber announced that it’s rolling out new features that will give women riders the option to request women drivers and vice versa. “Across the US, women riders and drivers have told us they want the option to be matched with other women on trips,” said Uber vice president of U.S. and Canada operations Camiel Irving in a press release. “We’ve heard them — and now we’re introducing new ways to

I Spent Weeks Testing Robot Lawn Mowers. Here Are 6 Things That Surprised Me

I spent the end of my spring and the beginning of my summer turning my backyard into a parking lot to test the best robot lawn mowers. In the process of doing that, I learned a lot about their benefits and their shortfalls. One of the biggest lessons was that, like most forms of automation, they can be a real pain to set up initially, but once they're ready to go, they save you a ton of effort and time compared with regular electric lawn mowers. I didn't expect that initial annoyance going into

Here’s your first look at Battlefield 6

The trailer offers a first look at Pax Armata, a Private Military Corporation bankrolled by former NATO states whose agenda threatens to throw the world into global conflict. This sets the scene for what players can expect on the battlefield — both in multiplayer and the return of the series’ single player campaign. In Battlefield 6, the series’ incredible blend of visceral combat, epic warfare, and player freedom returns. Blow through walls and bring down buildings for a tactical advantage or

Samsung backs a video AI startup that can analyze thousands of hours of footage

Many AI tools can look at a video today and summarize what is going on, but things become a bit tricky when you ask models questions about multiple videos and footage spanning many hours. This is a big limitation for security companies that want to use AI to scrub through thousands of hours of footage from different cameras, as well as marketing companies that want to study different video campaigns and product shoots. Memories.ai wants to tackle that problem with its AI platform that can proc

Commerce Sec. Lutnick says TikTok will go dark if China won't agree to U.S. control of the social media app

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that TikTok will go dark for Americans unless China agrees to give the U.S. more control over the popular short-form video app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Thursday. TikTok's future in the U.S. has been uncertain since 2024, when Congress passed a bill that would ban the platform unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, dives

It’s time to stop defending slow charging speeds

Robert Triggs / Android Authority We’re fast approaching the launch of the new Pixel 10 series and iPhone 17, and the one thing I’m really dreading is another year of sluggish charging speeds. While Google’s Pro XL model has gradually increased its charging power to a level close to Samsung’s Ultra, the smaller, more popular flagship phones in the US are stuck charging below 25W. Compared to their fast-charging Chinese counterparts, such as the 80W OnePlus 13, these supposed flagships feel pos

iOS 18.6 release notes: Here’s what’s coming in next iPhone update

iPhone users will get a major new software update this fall with iOS 26 and its Liquid Glass design. But the next iPhone update, iOS 18.6, will release much sooner. Here’s what Apple’s official release notes say is coming. Apple’s software development follows a fairly predictable schedule. Every year, Apple introduces big new OS versions at WWDC in June, then ships those updates in the fall—usually September. However, between June and September, there’s typically one more noteworthy update to

$1 billion of NVIDIA AI chips were reportedly sold in China despite US bans

Financial Times is reporting that $1 billion worth of NVIDIA AI chips were smuggled into China in the three months after the Trump administration tightened semiconductor export controls . Citing sales contracts, company documents and people with direct knowledge, the publication says that a thriving black market arose for American semiconductors. Products sold included NVIDIA's top‑tier B200 chips, which have become the silicon of choice for American big tech when training AI models. Sale of the
