ASEAN (in particular Malaysia) were key part of US Trade diversification from China Trade. Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Australia had key deals for the US to get 30-50% of the rare earth supply over the next 2-3 years up from 10% non-China now. Myanmar and Vietnam also have large rare earth supplies and they are part of ASEAN. IEA indicates that Malaysia is critical for future rare earth refining and ASEAN and Austrlia have critical mining, reserves and refining of rare earths.

After ‘umm’ and ‘ahhing’ for a year, it does look as if the ‘For Sale’ sign has been hung on the Warner Bros’ water tower, and make no mistake, this is not a good thing for the film industry. Since the turn of the millennium, Warner Bros. has been subject to a number of takeover bids, and it has not had the best record with mergers and acquisitions (M&A). You could describe it as a bit terrible. It was Time Warner back in the 1990s when it merged with Time Inc., which at one point owned Trusted Reviews before the…

When the NBN speed upgrades arrived in September, one of the biggest talking points was undoubtedly the arrival of the brand new NBN 2000 speed tier. For years, the fastest internet plan available to Australians has been 1Gbps, so for the theoretical maximum speed to be doubled overnight was cause for celebration.As expected because of its infancy, however, there wasn’t enough real-world data at launch to allow internet service providers (ISPs) to advertise a typical evening speed. For reference, that’s the download and upload speed you can realistically expect to achieve during the hours of 7pm to 11pm when most…
One of the leading architects of the current generative AI boom — Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, famed for having the software giant take an early investment in OpenAI (and later saying he was "good for my $80 billion") — published his latest annual letter yesterday on LinkedIn (a Microsoft subsidiary), and it's chock full of interesting ideas about the near-term future that enterprise technical decision makers would do well to pay attention to, as it could aid in their own planning and tech stack development.In a companion post on X, Nadella wrote, “AI is radically changing every layer of the…
Last month, the Department of Defense announced it was requesting proposals from the private industry for prototypes of space-based interceptors (SBIs), which are orbital weapon systems designed to intercept missiles. The request, largely seen as being part of the Trump administration’s proposed Golden Dome missile shield, has already drawn the attention of numerous contractors that want to develop such interceptors. One of these companies, Los Angeles-based startup Apex, has been working on the mass production of satellite buses that can be integrated with customer payloads, as Ars Technica reports. The company launched its first satellite last year and secured a…
Enlarge Image Smells like a steak and seats 35. Andrew Krok/CNETThe Ford Bronco is an eminently capable SUV that’s impressive off-road without feeling like a hot mess on the pavement.

After four weeks at the top, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max was finally dethroned as the most popular phone in our database.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max retained its fifth position as the Oppo Find X9 Pro climbed to sixth. With the global launch expected next week, Oppo’s new flagship…
