💰 Nvidia and AMD to pay 15% of China revenue to US
LINK
|
- Nvidia and AMD will pay the US government 15% of their China AI chip revenue as part of a highly unusual deal made in exchange for receiving necessary export licenses.
- The Commerce Department began granting export licenses for AI chips two days after Nvidia's CEO agreed to the 15% revenue cut in a meeting with President Donald Trump.
- The deal prompted immediate outcry from security experts, who worry that leveraging export licenses for money will encourage China to pressure other companies for more technology concessions.

- America Online announced it will discontinue its dial-up internet service at the end of September, ending the iconic online access method for people after more than three decades of operation.
- The company is also ending support for its AOL Dialer software and the AOL Shield browser, which were designed to work specifically with older operating systems and dial-internet connections.
- This decision follows a massive shift to broadband, with recent data showing just two percent of people in the European Union used dial-up connections to get online back in 2018.

🗣️ Apple’s new Siri may allow users to operate apps just using voice
LINK
|
- Apple is testing an updated Siri that will control apps using your voice, powered by a new version of the App Intents framework giving developers deeper access to the operating system.
- The feature would let you ask Siri to handle complex tasks, like finding a specific photo, editing it on the spot, and then sending the picture directly to one of your contacts.
- This functionality is already being tested with major apps like Uber, YouTube, and WhatsApp, with a potential release for the overhauled digital assistant reportedly scheduled for the spring of 2026.

💻 A $599 MacBook could launch in late 2025
LINK
|
- Apple is reportedly developing a new, more affordable MacBook with a starting price between $599 and $699, which could become commercially available for customers in late 2025 or early 2026.
- The rumored laptop would be the first Mac powered by an iPhone's A18 Pro chip, a change from the M-series chips that have more cores and greater memory capacity.
- This model is expected to feature a 12.9-inch display and an ultra-thin design, but the A18 Pro chip's lack of Thunderbolt support means it will likely have regular USB-C ports.

⚖️ Wikipedia may have to impose identity verification on readers
LINK
|
- The UK's High Court of Justice has dismissed the Wikimedia Foundation's legal challenge against the Online Safety Act's regulations, which could classify Wikipedia as a high-risk Category 1 service.
- Classifying Wikipedia as a Category 1 service could require user verification and swift content removal, which the foundation says would expose contributors to data breaches and authoritarian regimes.
- Despite the ruling, the judge stated that regulator Ofcom has a responsibility to protect Wikipedia's operations, suggesting a more flexible interpretation of the rules may be necessary for the site.
