SpaceX has acquired xAI, merging two of Elon Musk’s biggest bets as AI infrastructure demand keeps climbing. Musk is framing the move around a specific target, AI data centers in space. His argument is that today’s AI progress depends on massive Earth-based data centers that consume huge power and require intense cooling. He says shifting more compute to orbit solves those constraints with abundant solar energy and room to scale. SpaceX is already pushing the concept into the regulatory process. It sought permission from the Federal Communication Commission to launch a constellation of 1 million satellites, describing a network of…

Tesla has added a new all-wheel drive version of the Model Y in the US, priced at $41,990, based on an update to its website on Monday. It’s a small lineup change with an immediate payoff for shoppers who want AWD without climbing to a more expensive build. The timing isn’t random. The broader EV market cooled after September, when the Trump administration ended the $7,500 federal tax credits, pushing up what many buyers effectively pay. Tesla has been leaning on lower entry prices to keep demand from slipping, and this new rung fits that push. The AWD trim sits…

Samsung says Nvidia G-SYNC Compatible is coming to its 2026 OLED TV lineup, starting with the OLED S95H, S90H, and S85H.

For anyone who relies on headphones to get through the daily grind, there is a familiar and frustrating cycle. You buy a pair because the marketing promises the world – silence in a chaotic subway, concert-hall 3D sound, and crystal-clear calls – but reality rarely matches the hype. A week in, you realize the “active” noise cancellation stutters every time the wind blows, the “spatial audio” sounds like a cheap reverb effect, and the touch controls are so sensitive that you accidentally hang up on your boss while trying to adjust the volume. These aren’t just minor annoyances; they are…

NASA has released its monthly skywatching update on what to look out for over the coming weeks, and you can probably guess which event tops the list. That’s right: the Artemis II mission.
