The White House reportedly ordered xAI's Grok to be approved for government use

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-25 13:56:25

Despite some fallout between President Trump and Elon Musk, the White House appears to still be in Musk’s corner. Wired is reporting , based on documents obtained by the outlet, that the White House allegedly directed leadership at the General Services Administration (GSA) to include xAI's Grok on its list of approved AI vendors. xAI is owned by Elon Musk and was not included in the slew of approvals the GSA issued in August that saw the agency add OpenAI, Google and Anthropic to its list of ve

The best MacBook accessories for 2025

There is a mouse graveyard in my office cabinet — devices I’ve tried and discarded because they didn’t help with my shoulder aches. The solution was a roller ball mouse and Logitech’s MX Ergo is the best I’ve found. It tilts for a more natural “handshake” grip and has a slow-mo option for more precise movements in Photoshop and other apps. The scroll wheel is speedy but precise, as is the trackball and you can switch between two devices with the pairing button. You can even program the various b

Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

The ninth episode of Dan Da Dan hit the ground running with an explosive rematch between Okarun and Evil Eye. But in an episode that otherwise was pretty chill and low-key, Science Saru set up the building blocks for the show’s big showdown that manga readers have been waiting for with bated breath to see adapted in all its glory.

Rokid Glasses Hands-On: Smart Glasses, Buggy Voice Assistant

Smart glasses are an exciting idea right now. In theory, they’re a new gadget that does lots of the stuff that our phones do, but in an always-there form factor. They can take pictures, make calls, translate menus, and—if the tech and the investment get there—they might slap a screen right onto eyeballs for notifications, navigation, and maybe even augmented reality à la Pokémon Go. I say “in theory” because just because smart glasses can do all of those things on paper doesn’t mean they can do

Trump Weighs in on MAGA’s Latest Online Crisis: The Cracker Barrel Logo

The declining restaurant chain Cracker Barrel recently made the unfortunate decision to rebrand its sign, which—if you’ve ever hung out at a strip mall on the side of a freeway—you will probably recognize. The old sign, which we are now being told is “iconic,” previously featured a mascot known as “Uncle Herschel” (based on the store’s founder’s real uncle) and a barrel.
