SpaceX recently completed the largest IPO ever, raising more than $85 billion and debuting at a ~$1.77 trillion valuation. Shares have since pulled back (a common post-IPO pattern, especially in volatile markets), but the raise was enormous. xAI is part of that story because of the earlier integration. FEb 2026, SpaceX acquired xAI and the combined entity valued around $1.25 trillion at the time. xAI got fund raising from public markets and that massive capital raise through the SpaceX structure. A standalone IPO would have taken another year or more. SpaceX Rental Deal Helps Anthropic to IPO OpenAI is hitting…
Introduction and specs It’s time for the bi-annual Oppo Reno refresh, and this June, we are getting the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro, along with the Reno16 F and Reno16 FS. The subject of this review, however, is the Pro model, which sits on top of the lineup and offers a minor refresh over its predecessor. So don’t expect a generational upgrade. Anyway, the Reno16 Pro feels more refined in a way, primarily feature-wise. For instance, the new Reno16 Pro features an additional hardware button called AI Snap Key, which can be remapped to your liking. It also adds a handful…

Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityA transparent design helps the Nothing Ear (a) stand out from many other earbuds, and this pair also packs features like ANC, LDAC, and long battery life. It is even better right now because there is a big price cut in this Prime Day 2026 sale. The earbuds are down to $53.20 from the $109 list price. That works out to a 49% discount relative to the recommended retail price. It is also the lowest price we have ever seen on Amazon, so it’s a genuine Prime Day find.As for what you are getting, the…
Researchers at Wiz have disclosed a high-severity vulnerability in the Amazon Q Developer extension for Visual Studio Code that could allow attackers to steal developers’ cloud credentials by luring them into opening a booby-trapped code repository. Amazon Q Developer is an AI-powered coding assistant that offers developers features such as code suggestions, automated refactoring, and access to external tools and services via integrations with local processes. AWS was notified about the issue on April 20 and a patch was released on May 12. The cloud giant published a security advisory this week. The root cause of the vulnerability was that…
NASA selected 41 proposals from 37 companies to advance technologies in support of the agency’s goals to establish a long-term presence on the Moon and enable human exploration of Mars. These American companies, picked from NASA’s 2025 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO), will mature technologies creating solutions for space transportation, planetary surface operations, and lunar surface infrastructure. “We are empowering American industry to become active partners in NASA’s missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond,” said Greg Stover, director, Advanced Research and Technology Division in the agency’s Research and Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “By tapping into…

Leica SL3-P: One-minute reviewThe Leica SL3-P is not a camera for everyone, and it knows it. There’s no red dot logo on the front — that easy-to-spot symbol of prestige has been deliberately omitted in favor of a clean, all-black anonymity. Only the word ‘LEICA’ in white block capitals above the lens mount gives the game away. This is a camera built for photographers who’d rather be invisible than…
The Steam Deck is one of the few pieces of hardware I’ve owned where the software feels almost as considered as the hardware itself. Gaming Mode is quick, the interface makes sense on a handheld, and Valve clearly put real thought into how you actually use the thing on a couch. But the more time I spent with it, the more I kept running into small gaps, the kind of things I assumed it would just do on its own, and didn’t. The fix for nearly all of them is Decky Loader, a community-built plugin platform that adds a small…
This is the second in a series of posts I’m writing about free tech resources that you can access via your local library system. Our focus here is on giving you more entertainment options, as the cost of nearly everything is skyrocketing and large media companies are being allowed to merge, often leading to less competition and higher prices. Regardless of what, specifically, monopolies and duopolies lead to, they’re generally not good for consumers or employees. For this article, we’re going to look at two ad-free streaming services that you can access with your library card. Both are completely free!…
The Linux Foundation on Thursday announced a new industry effort aimed at efficiently addressing vulnerabilities in the open source software (OSS) ecosystem. Named Akrites, it establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) for coordinated discovery, patching, and public disclosure of OSS security defects. If it sounds familiar, it should. Less than two weeks ago, Chainguard announced Athena, a coalition of over two dozen fintech and technology organizations aimed at addressing OSS bugs before public disclosure. At the time, Chainguard said it would work with the Linux Foundation on a coordinated SIRT, noting that the increased use of AI in…
