The New LG OLED TV Has the Brightest Screen I've Ever Tested

CNET's key takeaways The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs. At $3,400 for the 65-inch size, it's expensive compared to some of the competition. The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected. As a Call of Duty player, I know that quick responses can be the difference between clinching victory and languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Chinese firms have begun rushing to order Nvidia's H20 AI chips as the company plans to resume sales to mainland China, Reuters reports. The chip giant expects to receive US government licenses soon so that it can restart shipments of the restricted processors just days after CEO Jensen Huang met with President Donald Trump, potentially generating $15 billion to $20 billion in additional revenue this year.

We Are Having a Very Hard Time Believing the "Shape" of Tesla's New Robotaxi Geofence Is a Coincidence

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-02 14:18:30

Tesla has expanded the area where its Robotaxis can operate in Austin, and it's difficult — nay, impossible — to ignore its resemblance to something unmistakably vulgar. As folks immediately pointed out online, the crudely-shaped geofence is, essentially, a bathroom graffiti-level dick drawing — and given his puerile sense of humor, there's a non-zero chance that Tesla CEO Elon Musk made it that way on purpose. Indeed, after someone posted a video showing the phallic geofence on X, the shitpos

T-Mobile’s US Cellular acquistion has been approved: What happened, and what’s next?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The DOJ and FCC have both approved T-Mobile’s $4.4 billion acquisition of most of US Cellular, with no major conditions or safeguards imposed. T-Mobile will gain US Cellular’s customers, stores, and spectrum, while US Cellular will keep its towers and focus on leasing them out. Critics worry the merger could reduce competition, especially in rural areas, but US Cellular customers shouldn’t see immediate changes at least. Last year, T-Mobile announced plan
