The US is banning foreign robots
The Chinese robot maker, Unitree, will likely be impacted by the ban. | Bloomberg via Getty Images The US government is targeting China with a new import ban on "advanced robotic devices" and power inverters made in foreign countries, as reported earlier by Reuters. In an announcement on Tuesday, the Federal Communications Commission says the ban will include "mobile" robots, such as humanoid and quadruped models - but it is not limited to robots that walk around. Though the FCC says the move isn't targeted at a specific country, it will have a major impact on China as the country ramps up efforts to produce humanoid robots, some of which we've seen in viral videos stumbling to Michael Jackson, partaking in MMA fights, and even appearing … Read the full story at The Verge.

iOS 27: All the New Phone and FaceTime Features
The Phone and FaceTime apps didn't get as many new features as some of Apple's other apps, but there are a handful of capabilities that add utility and convenience. Phone App The Phone app has one major update, and that's Call Context. When you call a company, the Phone app can surface relevant information from the Mail app. If you call an airline, it might show your confirmation code for an upcoming flight, or your reservation code if you're calling a hotel. It doesn't listen to what you're saying, but instead looks at the number you're calling and links it to details in the Mail app. Apple Intelligence feature that runs entirely on-device, and it requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. It also works when you make a phone call from your iPad or Mac. FaceTime FaceTime has a couple of new features, but the biggest is Dual Capture. On the iPhone 17 models and the iPhone Air, you can use the front and back cameras at the same time while on a FaceTime call. The person

Amidst Sony's Disc Debacle, Capcom Sales Data Is a Brutal Reality Check for Fans of Physical Media
Just 6.7% of sales are physical. A lot of people like physical media — they like having the freedom of choice when it comes to purchasing a video game. And that's largely why Sony's decision to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs in 2028 has caused so much of an uproar. But when you sit down and look at the numbers... well, it's easy to see why companies like Sony have steadily lost interest in entertaining the physical market.

Poll: So, What Do You Think Of Halo: Campaign Evolved?
Is this your first Halo game? Halo: Campaign Evolved is finally out in the wild, and I can't get enough of it. Despite getting very early access weeks before launch, I still find myself hopping on to replay the campaign, remix levels, try out new Skull modifiers, and have a laugh with friends. It's such a blast! The remake feels like a proper refresh for Halo Studios and a solid foundation to build upon for the future entries in the series - as well as more remakes! This is the most fun I've had with a Halo campaign in quite some time, and it'll keep me satisfied until Gears: E-Day arrives later this year. Read the full article on purexbox.com

"You Might As Well Play On A Raspberry Pi" - The World Of MiSTer FPGA Remains Divided Over "AI Slop" Cores
"Turns the platform into a second class MAME". If you've been following the MiSTer FPGA scene recently, you'll no doubt be aware of the sharp rise in AI-assisted cores for the platform. We're currently witnessing a flurry of new cores that are apparently based on MAME rather than the original arcade boards, which, in the past, have been carefully deconstructed to produce the super-accurate FPGA cores that have made MiSTer so popular.

Steve Jobs in 2011: ‘We Build Products That We Want for Ourselves, Too, and We Just Don’t Want Ads’
Dan Frommer, writing for Business Insider in 2011 about that year’s WWDC (Jobs’s last): While discussing Apple’s free, new iCloud email service, he took an apparent jab at Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and the others, which stuff ads in their free email services. “No ads,” he boasted. “We build products that we want for ourselves, too, and we just don’t want ads.” Jobs’s “we” is interesting to ponder here. Apple’s senior leadership today is comprised mostly of the same people in senior leadership positions in 2011. Tim Cook, Phil Schiller, Eddy Cue, Craig Federighi, Greg Joswiak, and even John Ternus (then a director of hardware engineering for the iPad team, I believe) were all presumably included in Jobs’s “we”. The only big player missing today from Jobs’s 2011 “we” is Scott Forstall. The people haven’t changed, but Apple has. Strong leaders inevitably shape the personality — the spirit — of organizations over time. Apple in 2011 was peak Steve Jobs Apple. Apple in 2026 is peak Tim Cook Apple.
