techcrunch.com Anna Heim 2025-10-27 06:20:34

Finnish quantum computing startup IQM is now a unicorn: The company just raised more than $300 million in a Series B funding round that was led by Ten Eleven Ventures, a U.S. investment firm focused on cybersecurity. A university spinout, IQM builds quantum computers meant for on-premises installations as well as a cloud platform that taps this hardware. The company has already sold its quantum computers to enterprises in APAC and the U.S., but its strongest market remains Europe. That’s what

Luigi Mangione's likeness used to model shirt on Shein A spokesperson from Shein told BBC News: "The image in question was removed immediately upon discovery." It is thought the product he appeared to be modelling was on sale for just under $10 (£7.50). An image with his likeness, which appeared to show him wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt, appeared on the fast-fashion website until its removal.

Alphabet stock pops 6% in premarket trading after Google avoids break-up in antitrust case

The Google logo is seen outside a building housing Google offices in Beijing on February 4, 2025. China on February 4 said it would probe US tech giant Google over violations of anti-monopoly laws after Washington slapped 10 percent levies on Chinese goods. Alphabet shares rose 6% in premarket trading on Wednesday as investors viewed the result of Google's antitrust case as broadly favorable to the tech giant.

Turns out it’s possible to get a Pixel 10 with a physical SIM slot in the US

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-27 10:36:12

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Google is reportedly sending out global Pixel 10 models with physical SIM slots as replacement units to users. These global models lack support for mmWave 5G. While some people are viewing this as an upgrade, others are concerned about connectivity issues. If you bought a Pixel 10, 10 Pro, or 10 Pro XL in the US, your phone came without a physical SIM slot. That’s the standard for US models of Google’s latest flagships. Instead of having a traditional

Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 review: The new ChromeOS sweet spot

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-27 13:00:14

In the last few years, I’ve felt like Chromebooks have hit a plateau. ChromeOS is a quirky but mature platform at this point, and Google has continued to add smart and useful features on a regular basis. But the hardware has felt pretty stagnant, with a few exceptions. Most Chromebooks at this point are utilitarian devices that get the job done but inspire little excitement, and I’ve found most Intel-based Chromebooks don’t get me through a day of work before the battery dies.
