Trump’s Defiance of TikTok Ban Prompted Immunity Promises to 10 Tech Companies

US attorney general Pam Bondi has told at least 10 tech companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, that they have “incurred no liability” for supporting TikTok despite the federal ban on providing services to the popular video-sharing app, according to letters disclosed on Thursday. Under orders from President Donald Trump, Bondi has refused to enforce a law passed by Congress last year that classifies TikTok as a national security risk because of its ties to China and bars comp

AirTag’s newest feature is perfect for travel, here’s how it works

Vacation season is here, and for many, this could be the first time traveling since Apple gave AirTag a brand new feature in iOS 18.2. Here’s how that feature works, and why it’s perfect for your upcoming trip. Recover lost luggage faster with new AirTag feature One of the most popular uses for AirTag is as a luggage tracker.

Crunchyroll blames third-party vendor for AI subtitle mess

At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles. Much of the translation was nonsensical, with missing punctuation in many sentences. At the time, some fans speculated th

Neither AI nor E Ink can make touchscreen trackpads a good idea

E Ink, the company behind the highly readable displays you'll find in ereaders the world over, has created a new touchscreen trackpad for some reason. And rather than act as an extension of your laptop's screen, E Ink thinks it should be a dedicated home for AI interactions. The new touchscreen trackpad appears to use a color E Ink display, not unlike what you'll find on the Kobo Libra Colour or the Kindle Colorsoft, and is supposed to offer the normal swiping, tapping, dragging and clicking fu

Flounder Mode – Kevin Kelly on a different way to do great work

Kevin Kelly isn’t known for one ‘big thing’, and doesn’t aspire to be. He’s as intelligent, hard-working, ambitious, and prescient as history’s most iconic entrepreneurs—only without any interest in building a unicorn himself. Instead, in his words, he works “Hollywood style”—in a series of creative projects. What follows is a sampling of his life’s work. Kelly was an editor for the Whole Earth Catalog in the early 1980s, helped start WELL, one of the first online communities, in 1985, and co-f

Trump Expects Paramount to Run Conservative PSAs Following Hush Money Payments

Paramount is learning the hard way why you don’t simply acquiesce to bullies. Earlier this week, the company came to a preliminary settlement agreement with Donald Trump in a case where the President accused the company of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris in 2024. That settlement (which has been described by some as “bribery” with intent to get Trump to green light Paramount’s attempted merger with Skydance Media) pays Trump $16 million. Trump’s legal team also cl

James Gunn Reveals His Lightbulb Moment While Writing ‘Superman’

James Gunn sure loves animals. We see this every week on social media as the DC Studios president posts photos of his pets but also in his filmmaking. It was famously the idea of bringing a raccoon to life that gave Gunn the confidence to tackle Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel. And, with his upcoming film Superman, he found inspiration in a very similar way. “It was just difficult to figure out where I was going to come from with Superman,” Gunn said speaking to io9 in Los Angeles last week.

Lost in Space: A ‘Game-Changing’ Emissions Satellite Just Went Dark

An $88 million satellite backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos is lost in space. MethaneSAT, designed to sniff out sources of methane emissions across the globe, only survived about 15 months in Earth’s orbit before meeting its untimely end. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), which launched the satellite in March 2024, announced its demise on July 1. The organization revealed that MethaneSAT suddenly went silent on June 20, and its mission operations team has been unable to re-establish contact e

Tesla Stans Can’t Believe They’re About to Lose a Boatload of Money on Elon’s Robotaxi Launch

Why anyone believes the things that come out of Elon Musk’s mouth is a mystery. The vaporware king has peddled so many outlandish claims over the years that it’s difficult to keep a tally. Still, for whatever reason, he retains a small but devoted following who think his utterances are prophetic prognostications rather than the creative ideations of a sci-fi fanboy. One of Musk’s recent dubious claims was that Tesla would launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, by June, claiming that the

Experts Say the Actual Value of Tesla's Stock Is a Ticking Time Bomb

If a recent rally in the company's share price is any indication, investors are buying Tesla CEO Elon Musk's vision of leaning into autonomous driving and a robotaxi service. The company's shares rose almost four percent on Wednesday, despite the company revealing that it had sold 14 percent fewer cars in Q2 of this year compared to the same period last year, the biggest drop in Tesla's history. Analysts were forecasting an even worse performance, indicating there's still plenty of enthusiasm.

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev
