Hong Kong has become the main artery for high-tech goods flowing in and out of China, and its chip trade has hit record levels. The city accounted for more than half of China’s $239bn in semiconductor imports in the first five months of 2026, according to a Bloomberg review of official data. That share stood at […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Last night, Apple took a massive tiny step toward allowing developers to include links to their sites in the apps — but this is just for ‘reader’ apps. This isn’t a surprise, though. The firm announced this change last year to close the Japan Fair Trade Commission’s (JFTC) investigation that looked into the antimonopoly practices of Apple. The Cupertino-based company considers any app that provides digital content a reader app.... Read more ›

This article was originally published on Built In by Jamie De Langhe. History, art, English, the humanities: These are the backgrounds of approximately half the people I’ve worked with at both Etsy and Slack. My co-workers have been creators, analytical thinkers and researchers. They look at complex problems and find novel solutions, taking products to a whole new level. Even Stewart Butterfield, Slack’s founder, was a philosophy major with aspirations... Read more ›

The financial sector has not been seen as synonymous with any sort of institutional change — in fact, it’s largely been the opposite. Hidden behind heavy bank vaults, the opaque world of finance has remained relatively unchanged for the past couple hundred years, gate kept by a select few at the very top, and largely immune to an increasingly demanding and tech-savvy customer base. But that’s all changing now thanks... Read more ›

WhatsApp voice notes are useful when you want to send some explanation or rant about a bad date to a friend, and you’re too tired to type all of that. But creating and listening to these notes has been a sucky experience — until now, at least Last night, WhatsApp said that it’s going to roll out a bunch of features over the next few weeks that can turn voice...

If you’re looking for technology with a fast time to market, you can exclude most vehicles and mobility tech. And if you’re waiting for a ride in a hyperloop? Don’t hold your breath. I’ve been writing about hyperloop tech for nearly ten years. Much of the innovation is happening behind the scenes. It’s partnerships and pathways, rules and regulations, and in the case of tech — it’s most often R&D... Read more ›

I was recently reading comments on a post related to COVID-19, and saw a reply I would classify as misinformation, bordering on conspiracy. I couldn’t help but ask the commenter for evidence. Their response came with some web links and “do your own research”. I then asked about their research methodology, which turned out to be searching for specific terms on Google. As an academic, I was intrigued. Academic research... Read more ›

Apple‘s AirTags are really good at finding misplaced items, but that same ability makes them an alarmingly effective stalking tool in the wrong hands. And while the company has implemented numerous ways of alerting iOS users about nefarious AirTags use, Android users remain at risk unless they download and pro-actively check Apple’s Tracker Detect app (or third-party alternatives). Google might now be working on a native solution to protect against... Read more ›

Not to be melodramatic, today might be one of the most important days in PC gaming history. Intel is launching its first batch of Arc GPUs today, adding a third major competitor to a market that’s been dominated by Nvidia and AMD (or ATI, back in the day) for as long as many gamers and creators can remember. Now the question is just whether Intel’s discrete GPUs are any good.... Read more ›

As manufacturers introduce new models of electric vehicles, demand for them is growing steadily. New EV sales in the U.S. roughly doubled in 2021 and could double again in 2022, from 600,000 to 1.2 million. Auto industry leaders expect that EVs could account for at least half of all new U.S. car sales by the end of the decade. EVs appeal to different customers in different ways. Many buyers want...

It takes expensive tools to learn about the universe, but projects like the Very Large Array for radio astronomy in New Mexico and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which orbits Earth, have pushed scientific knowledge forward in ways that would not have been possible without these instruments. Every 10 years, astronomers and astrophysicists outline priorities for the hardware they need in the decadal survey on astronomy and astrophysics. The newest version... Read more ›

British sports car maker Lotus has finally unveiled its long-awaited second electric vehicle, the Eletre. It’s the company’s first SUV, and while such vehicles don’t usually get called beautiful, this time I’ll call it: the Eletre is a slick-looking machine, which seems like a hell of a package. Feast your eyes: As you can see above, the EV isn’t beautiful in a conventional way. Its design language is rather aggressive... Read more ›

In an effort to reduce its reliance on Ukrainian oil, the Berlin government is slashing the cost of public transport for residents. In summer 2022, people living in Berlin can get a monthly public transport ticket for only €9 euros per month — a tenth of its usual price. The ticket will be offered for three months and will be called “9 for 90”. public transport The move is in... Read more ›

Do you love solving puzzles, enjoy learning new things and hate doing the same thing day-in day-out? If you answered yes to the questions above, you really should consider a career in cybersecurity. However, cybersecurity is a very broad term. We often hear it thrown about in conversation or subtly mentioned in online blog posts, but what exactly does it mean? In a nutshell, it means defending computers, servers, data,... Read more ›

In one of the biggest breaches in DeFi history, hackers stole more than $600 million of tokens — Ethereum and USDC — from the Ronin blockchain associated with the popular game, Axie Infinity. Both entities are part of the burgeoning Web3 ecosystem, which is defined by elements of decentralization and digital currency. And the fact that they could be broken into highlights the need for focus on security in the... Read more ›

Devialet tends to do things a little differently than most audio companies. The French firm first made waves in the audio scene with its futuristic-looking Phantom speakers, which packed an absurd amount of bass into a small amount of space. Then it packed an absurd amount of bass into an even smaller space with the Phantom Reactor. After dabbling with high-end earbuds, now Devialet wants to deliver an absurd amount... Read more ›

A team of researchers led by the RIKEN center in Japan have discovered an experimental way to control the weather itself using a chaos theory concept related to the flapping of a butterfly’s wings. That might sound like something out of a science fiction B-movie, but it’s legit peer-reviewed research. Up front: Previous attempts at controlling the weather have paid off with minimum success. Currently, if we find some big... Read more ›

It’s never easy saying goodbye. But it’s obvious that the time has come. We need to ditch big tech’s virtual assistants and calmly demand a little more autonomy in our AI. Up front: The dream has always been to make personal assistants accessible to everyone. Since most of us can’t afford our own human assistant, big tech decided to combine chatbots and natural language processing (NLP) to create a virtual... Read more ›

Electric vehicles don’t really need radiator grilles. They’re there because we’re used to seeing them on the front of gas guzzlers, as EVs don’t need an external air flow to cool down a stinky engine. For this reason, automakers such Tesla, Kia, and Hyundai have removed them from their EVs’ design, keeping a small grille space beneath the bumper instead. Notice the lack of a radiator grille on the Kia... Read more ›

Quantum technology, which makes use of the surprising and often counterintuitive properties of the subatomic universe, is revolutionizing the way information is gathered, stored, shared, and analyzed. The commercial and scientific potential of the quantum revolution is vast, but it is in national security that quantum technology is making the biggest waves. National governments are by far the heaviest investors in quantum research and development. Quantum technology promises breakthroughs in... Read more ›

If you’re a (prospective) EV driver, I’m sure this question has crossed your mind: how long will my car’s battery last before it becomes unusable? Indeed, that’s a valid question. Battery degradation is bound to happen at some point. As a lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged, it degrades over time. Think of your old laptop for instance. It’s gone through so many charging cycles that the battery’s busted and... Read more ›
