The National Semiconductor Technology Center is being funded through the CHIPS and Science Act. That 2022 law aims to reinvigorate the computer chip sector within the United States through targeted government support.
“We need to be building for the future and that means making inve
One state lawmaker wants Nebraska to take measures to protect it from cyberattacks. His answer? Hire its own hacker.
State Sen. Loren Lippincott presented a bill Thursday to the Legislature’s government committee that would give the Nebraska State Patrol $200,000 to hire “an ethical hacker.” The hacker would spend his or her days trying to break into the state’s computer network, as well as election equipment and software, to find any vulnerabilities in t
It may sound like a cliché, but every strong relationship is founded on good communication, especially meaningful and engaging conversations. This is true in our personal and professional lives, and it’s just as true when it comes to building better relationships with customers. With romance—and, let’s face it, consumerism—in the air for Valentine’s Day, it’s worth taking in some love lessons to ensure your customers stay with you for the long ha
It’s not just streaming services that are hitting customers with price hikes. Now Amazon-owned Ring has announced that those who subscribe to its entry-level plans will be paying more for the service beginning next month.
This week, Ring announced that it is raising the cost for its Ring Protect Basic plan on March 11, 2024. From that date, the Ring Protect Basic plan will be priced as follows:

Stevie Wonder. Ray Charles. Andrea Bocelli. If you were to ask a random person to name a blind musician, one of those three would almost inevitably come up. Ask that same person about up-and-coming blind musicians, and they’ll likely draw a blank.
That’s no accident, according to Athan Billias, president of the MIDI Association, the nonprofit organization in charge of the MIDI standard. “Music production is much more visually oriented,” than it used to be
If the past few years have been about growth and planning in the space community, 2024 is the year of regulation and execution, according to some leading space experts.
Space is unlikely to play a big role in President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in about a month, so we’re taking this opportunity to examine the state of civil space policy in 2024. Be sure to come back next week for our dispatch on the state of national security space.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Thursday made it illegal to place AI-generated robocalls to voters in the U.S.
The issue came into sharp focus when New Hampshire voters received AI-generated calls in the voice of Joe Biden implying that if they cast a ballot in the state’s primary they couldn’t vote in the general election.
The FCC commissioners voted unanimously to make explicit that the 1991 Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which already ou
When Amazon announced last week that it was backing off a bid to purchase Roomba-maker iRobot, the two companies cited a familiar refrain: “Amazon’s proposed acquisition of iRobot has no path to regulatory approval in the European Union,” read a statement from iRobot.
That the EU was scrutinizing the deal came as no huge surprise: Over the last few years, European regulators have also stymied M&A efforts between Adobe and Figma and Booking Holdings and Etraveli,
Shares of Arm Holdings skyrocketed over 50% on the Nasdaq Thursday following the release of its fiscal Q3 earnings report. The U.K.-based designer of central processing unit (CPU) chips reported adjusted earnings per share of 29 cents, compared to the expected 25 cents, and revenue reaching $824 million against an expected $762 million.
