President Donald Trump provided an update on the stranded NASA astronauts set to make their way back to Earth in a social media post on Monday. In a Truth Social post, Trump said that he recently conferred with Janet Petro, the acting administrator of NASA, who is coordinating the return of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. “She is coordinating our Team of highly respected Scientists, Space Engineers, and various other ‘geniuses,’ who has agreed to let our Astronauts come home long prior to the two week period originally approved by NASA,” Trump wrote. “Janet was great. She said,…
Evan Feinman, who directed the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program meant to bring high-speed internet access to rural areas, exited the role on Friday after he was not reappointed for a new term, according to ProPublica’s Craig Silverman. In an email sent to staffers, which Silverman shared screenshots of on Bluesky, Feinman warned against changes proposed by the new administration that could “benefit technology that delivers slower speeds at higher costs to the household paying the bill” in order to line Elon Musk’s pockets. BEAD was established in 2021, and the new Secretary of Commerce Howard…
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is looking into whether the Biden administration tried to “censor” artificial intelligence. Representative Jim Jordan has sent subpoenas to sixteen different tech companies that work with AI in some capacity to ask for any and all communications from the previous administration about limiting “harmful bias” and “algorithmic discrimination.” Subpoenas were sent to Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Cohere, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Inflection AI, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Open AI, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI and Stability AI, and each requests an extensive amount of information, covering five years from January 1, 2020 to January 20, 2025. Essentially any…
OpenAI is calling on the Trump administration to give AI companies an exemption to train their models on copyrighted material. In a blog post spotted by The Verge, the company this week published its response to President Trump’s AI Action Plan. Announced at the end of February, the initiative saw the White House seek input from private industry, with the goal of eventually enacting policy that will work to “enhance America’s position as an AI powerhouse” and enable innovation in the sector. “America’s robust, balanced intellectual property system has long been key to our global leadership on innovation. We propose…
It’s both a great and bad week for Apple. In this episode, we dive into Devindra’s review of the excellent M4-equipped MacBook Air (and briefly chat about the new Mac Studio). We also discuss Apple’s surprise announcement that it’s delaying its smarter, AI-infused Siri, which may not arrive until next year. Did Apple over-promise last year, or is it wise to hold off on advanced AI features until they’re ready? After all, Apple doesn’t want a fiasco like Microsoft’s Recall announcement.

The U.S. is facing a dangerous gap in its ability to access nuclear fuel and stares down a potential supply chain shortage in enriched uranium — which is vital for America’s energy and national security. The U.S. relies almost entirely on foreign exports, including from Russia, for its nuclear fuel needs — a factor that has put the U.S. in even greater jeopardy after Washington agreed to cut all uranium imports from Russia by 2028. But there’s a glaring problem with this move — there is not enough enriched uranium in the world to make up for the amount of…
The latest form of public transportation will mirror what it’s like to order an Uber, but there will be a few key differences: the driver will be a pilot and the method of transportation will be an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Joby Aviation, in partnership with Delta Air Lines and Uber, has been developing electric flying taxis that the public will eventually be able to access daily, offering an alternative to traditional ground transportation. Since 2017, the company has flown more than 30,000 miles with its full-scale prototype eVTOL aircraft, which is set to begin transporting passengers…
Utah has once again passed a bill that attempts to place new limits on children’s ability to access social media and other apps. The state legislature passed a bill that requires app store makers to verify the ages of users and get parental consent for the downloading of apps. Should the governor sign the bill into law, it would be (as The Verge points out) the first such measure in the country. The Beehive State has previously attempted to restrict how children can use social media. The state passed two laws in 2023 that imposed age verification and parental permission…
It’s your lucky day if you’ve been looking for a good deal on a power bank or charging station. A sale on many Anker products is taking place at Amazon. One power bank, the Anker 621, is 35 percent off. That discount brings it down to $26, which is almost a record low. The device typically costs $40. This model is MagSafe-compatible, meaning it’ll attach magnetically to an iPhone 12 and above (but, annoyingly, not the new iPhone 16e unless you resort to a workaround) and charge your phone wirelessly. However, if you plug a cable into the Anker 621’s…
