Trump hits H-1B visas with $100,000 fee, targeting the program that launched Elon Musk and Instagram

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-20 01:34:22

President Trump just made it a lot more expensive for companies to hire foreign workers through the H-1B program. The White House announced Friday that Trump signed a proclamation requiring employers to pay a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, an enormous jump from the current $215 lottery registration fee. H-1B visas allow U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in fields that typically require technical expertise like IT, engineering, mathematics, or medicine. The program is ca

Samsung One UI 8.5 wants to save you from a strobe-induced seizure (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR One UI 8.5 has leaked, and one new feature we’ve already spotted appears to be a system for combatting photosensitive epilepsy. Your phone will detect when video contains flashing lights, and automatically dim the screen. It’s still unclear if this will be available for all devices getting One UI 8.5, and if it will work for gaming.

Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality.
