The FCC will crack down on an action camera from DJI, but NOT on a plan to flood the Earth with light pollution from space mirrors. OpenAI keeps digging deeper into lawsuits, and now Apple is taking them to court. AI data centers are SURGING in power use, but a few areas are pushing back.
SK Hynix expects the RAM crisis will get worse next year, as Samsung posts higher profit guidance after breaking records this year.
Chinese courts allow for heirs to inherit game accounts. NVIDIA wants us to remember how much we used to like them, and thinks trading cards will win us back.
And we have to chat about this FCC filing for the new Tensor G6 going into the Pixel 11.
Let’s get our tech week started off RIGHT!
