Tim Cook says RAM expenses are ‘unsustainable’ and Apple is going to raise prices by Emma Roth
Apple is getting ready to take the wraps off its latest lineup of iPhones later this year, though it’s unclear how big an impact the memory shortage will have on pricing. The WSJ estimates that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost $1,299, a jump from the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro.
Thanks AI.
And, I guess I will keep my 16Pro for longer now.
SpaceX is officially buying Cursor for $60 billion by Robert Hart
Days after its massive IPO, SpaceX says it is spending $60 billion to buy Cursor — a bet designed to help Elon Musk’s sprawling rocket / AI / social media behemoth win over lucrative enterprise customers and close the gap with AI rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI.
This is an all-stock deal. After the IPO, does 60 billion matter for SpaceX?
Boox’s new e-reader could replace your Kindle, Kobo, and digital notepad by Andrew Liszewski
Boox has announced a new version of its smallest e-reader that expands the Go 6’s functionality to now include note-taking. The new Go 6 (Gen II) sticks with a 6-inch, 300PPI E Ink screen like its predecessor but gets a bump from 2GB to 3GB of RAM and now supports Boox’s InkSense Plus stylus, which can be used for sketching, annotating documents, or making handwritten notes.
I guess I have made my peace with the fact that I can not make these e-readers (including my Kindle Paperwhite) work. I am mostly reading books borrowed from my library and that does not work with these devices.
It is mentioned as something that could come in the future, but, it is not out yet.
Anyway the places where I do my reading are -
- Listening to audiobooks while driving
- Listening to audiobooks while walking
- Reading ebook on my phone while on my lunch break
- Reading on my iPad during the weekends - perhaps a chapter or two while Savya sleeps
I don’t see a space for an e-reader here. Maybe I could replace my phone with a Palma, but what’s the point. I don’t want to carry another device.
Anthropic cuts off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 access following government order by Terrence O'Brien
On Friday evening, the government ordered Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nations, both inside and outside the US, due to national security concerns. That order included employees of Anthropic. To meet those demands, the company has completely cut off access to the models for all customers.
Wow.
And, this is why all countries need their own AIs.
BYD to install thousands of 5-minute EV chargers across Europe by Dominic Preston
Chinese EV colossus BYD has announced plans to speed up its conquest of the European auto market with the rollout of superfast Flash Chargers across the continent. BYD has already installed the first new chargers in Germany and the UK, and plans to roll out 3,000 across Europe by the end of next year.
Does it come to Finland? Maybe my next car would be a BYD?
