He said that the tariff is $1 per barrel of oil, adding that empty tankers can pass freely. “Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions,” Hosseini added.
This affects their ability to sign new device drivers on Windows if they want to create updated versions. Without signed device drivers the software will not work.
My friend livestreams and records video, usually recorded on a phone. They’re currently doing this on Facebook, but I’m helping them find alternative platforms that are accessible and not too technically demanding. Do you have any recommendations?
April 3 (Reuters) - China’s DeepSeek’s new model called V4 will run on the latest chips designed by Huawei Technologies, U.S. digital news outlet The Information reported on Friday.
STEM graduates once clamored for jobs in Big Tech, but not so readily anymore. Since Israel began its genocide in Gaza, it has relied on AI and surveillance systems developed by once-dream-job companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Today, many students and workers, uncomfortable with the prospect of fortifying the Israeli war machine, are engaging in a concerted effort to build alternative futures in technology.
Space watchers enthralled by the live stream from NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft have noticed that even astronauts can have trouble with Microsoft software. BlueSkyer Niki Grayson clipped an amusing segment of the live stream, where a puzzled astronaut asks for support from Mission Control because they “have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working.”
It was not a phone call. It was not a meeting. For thousands of Oracle employees across the globe, Tuesday morning began with a single email landing in their inboxes just after 6 a.m. EST — and by the time they finished reading it, their careers at one of the world’s largest technology companies were over.
LOS ANGELES — A jury found Meta and YouTube negligent in the design or operation of their social media platforms, producing a bellwether verdict in the first lawsuit to take tech giants to trial for social media addiction.
TurboQuant looks like a pretty massive deal for running local models efficiently. The core issue they are tackling is the memory bottleneck caused by the key value cache during generation. When you are doing long context inference storing all those high dimensional vectors eats up VRAM extremely fast. Traditional vector quantization helps but usually introduces memory overhead because you have to store scaling factors or constants in full precision for every small block of data. That overhead can easily add an extra bit or two per parameter which ruins the compression targets people are aiming for.
Slovenia’s Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon said she regretted the government’s move not to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ, claiming that external “pressure” had contributed to the decision.
Germany has made ODF mandatory as the standard format for documents within its sovereign digital infrastructure. The decision is incorporated into the Deutschland-Stack, the framework governing the development, procurement and management of digital systems for public administration at all levels. This is neither a pilot project nor a recommendation from a working group, but a mandate backed by the federal government and the coalition agreement.
Italy’s competition regulator has fined online review platform Trustpilot and its units 4 million euros ($4.6 million) for failing to adequately verify the authenticity of reviews and for misleading consumers about how their services work.
Wikipedia banned eight volunteer editors from making changes to articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict, following a ruling on Thursday by the online encyclopedia’s Arbitration Committee.
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile fossil fuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy.
“I’ve been asked several times, are we still considering being in Israel? We are 100% in Israel. We are 100% behind the families there. We are 100% in the Middle East,” said Jensen Huang, as Nvidia moved to reassure employees and investors that the war in the region has not altered its long-term commitment.
In retaliation for the ongoing U.S.–Israeli war, Iran responded with a novel form of counterattack. For the first time in military history, private sector data centers came under deliberate attack.
As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues, we look at how the Pentagon is using artificial intelligence in its operations. The system, known as Project Maven, relies on technology by Palantir and also incorporates the AI model Claude built by Anthropic. Israel has used similar AI targeting programs in Iran, as well as in Gaza and Lebanon.
A tragic story has emerged from northern Israel that combines shocking allegations, powerful families, and claims of online censorship. Shoshana Strook, 34, daughter of Israeli National Missions Minister Orit Strook, was found dead in her home after publicly accusing her parents and brother of sexual and ritual abuse dating back to her early childhood.
Security researchers had publicly documented the network behind it in October 2024, and Microsoft removed the Edge version in February 2025, stating that it was “malware.” Meanwhile, Google didn’t remove the extension until March 2026, months after it had been running malicious code on over a million browsers.
What do you think about Ecosia? I have a habit of using Ecosia as the default search engine. And I do this because a while ago I was looking for a private and ethical alternative to Google.
