ASML shares drop 6.5% after the chip giant says it can't confirm that it will grow in 2026

An icon of ASML is displayed on a smartphone, with an ASML chip visible in the background. ASML on Wednesday warned of the possibility of no growth in 2026, even as it beat top and bottom line expectations for the second quarter. ASML's guidance for the current quarter missed expectations while it narrowed its own forecast for the rest of the year. Shares of ASML dropped 6.5% in early trading, shortly after European markets opened. Like many companies in the semiconductor industry, ASML has

IDC: Emerging markets helped Apple offset iPhone slowdown in China during Q2

During the second quarter of 2025, Apple saw a modest gain in iPhone shipments, holding its worldwide ground amid slowing demand in China. Here are IDC’s preliminary numbers for the quarter. Emerging markets offset Apple’s China dip, while Samsung pulls ahead IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker (via AppleInsider) shows that Apple shipped 46.4 million iPhones in Q2 2025 (up 1.5% year-over-year).

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business in four years. We really did it! We bootstrapped ProjectionLab to $1,000,000 in annual recurring revenue. And I’m still processing that this is real. 🥹 Back in 2021, I was inspired by the financial independence movement and wanted a better way to plan my own life. I couldn’t find the right tool, so I started building. I had no idea that side project would one day help over 100,000 households plan for their financial future

There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)

So you’ve heard about how fish aren’t a monophyletic group? You’ve heard about carcinization, the process by which ocean arthropods convergently evolve into crabs? You say you get it now? Sit down. Sit down. Shut up. Listen. You don’t know nothing yet. “Trees” are not a coherent phylogenetic category. On the evolutionary tree of plants, trees are regularly interspersed with things that are absolutely, 100% not trees. This means that, for instance, either: The common ancestor of a maple and a m

Protect Your Mane: The 10 Superfoods I'm Using to Prevent Hair Loss

I've known for years that there is a chance my hair will thin as I get older. Plenty of people lose their hair as they age, and it's likely I won't be exempt from it. However, that doesn't mean i'm going to sit down and wait for my hair to thin and disappear though. I've always loved my hair, even when I switch between growing it out a bit, or cutting it all off for a shorter look. When I started to look for ways to keep my hair healthy, I found vitamins that could help, but I wanted to do more

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella Pumps the Breaks on AI Hype

The world has yet to turn any of today’s AI hype and spending into a meaningful lift in the actual economy, says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The comments were made during a podcast interview in which he put a measuring stick on AI’s true impact: Success will be measured through global economic growth rather than arbitrary benchmarks of how well AI programs can complete challenges like obscure math puzzles. Those are interesting in isolation but do not have practical utility. The comments seem

What’s driving electricity demand? It isn’t just AI and data centers.

Take the US, for example. The IEA report points to other research showing that the 10 states hosting the most data center growth saw a 10% increase in electricity demand between 2019 and 2023. Demand in the other 40 states declined by about 3% over the same period. One caveat here is that nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen with data centers in the future, particularly those needed to run AI. Projections are all over the place, and small changes could drastically alter the amount of en
