Yesterday, during his address to the US Congress, President Trump called for the revocation of the CHIPS Act, arguing that it is a waste of money and not an effective way of securing investment into the country. The CHIPS Act sought to promote domestic research and semiconductor manufacturing through a program that gave subsidies of $52 billion to leading semiconductor companies like Intel, Samsung, Micron Technology and TSMC, among others. Intel, especially, was a big

It has been nearly four years since the release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, which brought these classic titles into the modern era.

The world’s first “biological computer” has officially hit the market, marking what may actually be a significant breakthrough in AI technology. Developed by Australian company Cortical Labs, the CL1 fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to create a dynamic, learning neural network. This innovative system, known as Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI), promises to be more flexible and energy-efficient than traditional silicon-based AI chips. Launched in Barcelona on March 2nd, the CL1 is the result

When Apple released a slew of MacBook Pros and some of the neglected Mac desktop line on the M4 generation of silicon last fall, one odd exclusion was the MacBook Air. It’s Cupertino’s most popular notebook, by the company’s own metrics, and its continued existence with M2 and M3 versions was a head-scratcher.
