Gavin Newsom’s Bizarro-Trump Schtick Gets Even Weirder With a Memecoin

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, has spent recent weeks mimicking Donald Trump’s style online. Newsom’s team is filling his social media channels with all-caps screeds and vainglorious pronouncements that sound like the president, even rolling out merchandise like red hats that say “Newsom Was Right About Everything.” The strategy has been polarizing, to say the least, with some people embracing Newsom’s approach as a fun attack on Trump, while others say it’s an unnecessary

Google’s still not giving us the full picture on AI energy use

“We’re not comfortable revealing that for various reasons,” Dean told me on our call. The total number is an abstract measure that changes over time, he says, adding that the company wants users to be thinking about the energy usage per prompt. But there are people out there all over the world interacting with this technology, not just me—and what we all add up to seems quite relevant. OpenAI does publicly share its total, sharing recently that it sees 2.5 billion queries to ChatGPT every day.

T-Mobile Money’s move to the T-Life app is going as smoothly as expected

Joe Maring / Android Authority T-Mobile's T-Life app. TL;DR T-Mobile Money’s migration into the T-Life app has caused delays, access problems, and other issues for customers. Users report being locked out of accounts or left with negative balances, though many regain access after long waits. The frustration is compounded as the switch coincided with payday and month-end payment dates. T-Mobile’s plan to fold its Money service into the all-in-one T-Life app has officially kicked off, and the

Google Play Store is making the move to your Pixel 10 a bit less chaotic

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The Play Store Downloads list now separates restored apps into a “From previous device” section during the setup process. The change was spotted by a tipster while restoring apps on a Pixel 10 Pro XL. It’s a small tweak that could make the transfer to a new device marginally less overwhelming.

Trump administration’s deal is structured to prevent Intel from selling foundry unit

The Trump administration seems intent on controlling Intel’s ability to make key business decisions around its floundering foundry business unit. Intel’s CFO David Zinsner shared new details about the company’s recent deal with the Trump administration, which gave the U.S. government a 10% equity stake, at a Deutsche Bank conference on Thursday, according to reporting from the Financial Times. The deal was structured in a way to penalize Intel if it spins out its foundry business unit, which m

Scientists Say Black Holes Could Form Inside Planets, Leading to Absolute Catastrophe

New fear unlocked: spontaneous black hole implosion. Fresh research predicts that planets may be able to accumulate enough dark matter to suddenly form a black hole at their core. As the intruder grows, catastrophe unfolds: it would then devour the world from the inside out, becoming a black hole with the same mass as its unfortunate meal. The findings, published as a study in the journal Physical Review D, are terrifying to contemplate. The intent, however, wasn't to haunt our dreams but to d

Are you hoping for a live iPhone event on September 9? [Poll]

With the upcoming “Awe Dropping” event, Apple has an opportunity to take a new crack at the live event format. Do you think it’ll take it? Apple has been doubling down on pre-recorded events There is no question that Apple prefers th

The Unforgotten

Open Extended Reactions THEY WERE BOTH SO YOUNG. One would be entering his old age now, with most of a long life behind him. The other would just be entering his senior year in high school, working to fulfill a life of great promise. A vast gulf of time separates them. But nobody knows them now except by memory, so time is also what ties them together. And it is time that tells their story. They were both so young, are both so young still. In the early days of football, President Theodore

China is eating the world

The thing that surprised me most about traveling to China back in 2019 was how quiet it was. I expected chaos, noise, pollution—all the stuff you associate with a developing country. Instead, I found electric bikes gliding silently through tree-lined streets. We lived there for five months until COVID hit. About a week ago, I went back to visit Yunnan. Walking through the ancient towns another reality hit me: China doesn't need us anymore. These towns were packed with only Chinese tourists, I c

My startup banking story (2023)

March 14, 2023 As a relatively new member of adult society, and an absolute infant of the business world, I didn't think much about bank choice. I figured: you put money in, you take money out, they're all the same. I also figured a local branch of a global bank is just a fungible tentacle of the giant banking machine, so also... who cares. Both incorrect assumptions, but let's relive and rediscover the effect of these assumptions as I did. I start my company. I am a 22 year old recent college

US manufacturing investment stumbles as clean tech cancellations pile up

More clean tech manufacturing investments were canceled in the U.S. in the second quarter than were announced, according to a new study from the Rhodium Group and MIT. Companies canceled $5 billion worth of projects, while only $4 billion in new investments was announced. Actual clean tech manufacturing investments, not just announcements, declined by 15%, as well. The pullback comes in the wake of the GOP’s reconciliation bill, which erased key portions of the Inflation Reduction Act, a piece

Intel gets $5.7 billion from Trump deal as White House says details are 'being ironed out'

Intel CFO David Zinser said that the semiconductor giant received $5.7 billion from the U.S. government on Wednesday evening. Zinsner acknowledged the investment on Thursday during an investor conference. The investment is part of the White House's decision last Friday to take a 10% stake in the beleaguered computer chip company. Zinser also signaled the possibility that Intel seeks outside investment for its foundry business. The company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results

Affiliates Flock to ‘Soulless’ Scam Gambling Machine

Last month, KrebsOnSecurity tracked the sudden emergence of hundreds of polished online gaming and wagering websites that lure people with free credits and eventually abscond with any cryptocurrency funds deposited by players. We’ve since learned that these scam gambling sites have proliferated thanks to a new Russian affiliate program called “Gambler Panel” that bills itself as a “soulless project that is made for profit.” The scam begins with deceptive ads posted on social media that claim th

Satellite Companies Like SpaceX Are Ignoring Astronomers’ Calls to Save the Night Sky

There are more than 12,000 active satellites circling Earth at the moment, a growing figure that has nearly doubled in less than three years. This recent boom in the satellite industry has been a major headache for astronomers, with bright satellites appearing as streaks in telescope images of the universe and tarnishing views of the night skies. A new paper reveals that satellite constellations are brighter than the recommended limits set forth by astronomers, with only one company adhering to

I Tried Netflix's Zodiac Hub and Found a Fun New Show That Matched My Astrological Sign

Earlier this week, I received an email from the communications team at Netflix announcing the debut of a new astrology hub on the streaming platform. According to the release, these curated playlists include show and movie recommendations that "reflect the character traits and themes most associated with that sign." They don't include this week's horoscope. At least for now. Lots of people feel strongly about their zodiac sign and how it affects their lives. While I don't normally give much tho
