Elon Musk’s website, formerly known as Twitter, quietly announced it was killing off the old Twitter.com domain. That means the company is requiring users who use a hardware security key or passkey to re-enroll; otherwise, they will be locked out of their account.
X’s safety account posted a statement alerting folks to the change. It read:
General Motors, the 100-year-old car company that has struggled with its expensive modernization efforts, plans to offer Americans hands-free driving and the freedom to watch a movie on the go.
The company unveiled new “eyes-off” driving technology that will be available starting in 2028, part of a new technology initiative revealed by GM executives in New York on Wednesday. The automaker said the initiative includes a conversational AI technology that will be introduced into vehicles next year.
“Imagine you step into your vehicle, you push a button, and it drives you to the office. You catch up on work, send emails, or watch an episode of your favorite show,” said GM CEO Mary Barra. “The car drops you off … then it goes to get your dry cleaning, take out for dinner, and it comes back in time so you can drive your kids to their soccer game.”
You’d think after a tumultuous year for Elon Musk’s car company, Wall Street would be cheering Tesla’s record quarterly sales. They’re not.
That’s for two main reasons: First, Tesla’s profit fell from a year ago and missed analysts’ estimates.
Second, Tesla’s sales were largely booming last quarter because customers scrambled to nab electric cars before a US tax credit expired.
Shares of Tesla (TSLA) fell 2% in after-market trading following the report, but ahead of a call for investors scheduled for 5:30 pm ET.
The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) has recently collaborated with Oracle and Druid Software to enhance battlefield connectivity through the implementation of secure private 5G networks. While this initiative is primarily aimed at fortifying NATO’s cyber defenses, small business owners can glean important insights about the implications of advanced technology in their own operations.
Oracle’s 5G Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP) will play a vital role in enabling seamless, secure communications across NATO networks. “Safeguarding mission-critical and sensitive information over communications networks is paramount to national and global security,” stated Andrew Morawski, Oracle’s executive vice president. This commitment to data security resonates with small businesses, as the need for robust cybersecurity can’t be understated in a world increasingly reliant on digital communication.
IBM’s recent partnership with Anthropic marks a significant milestone for small businesses aiming to streamline their software development processes. By integrating Anthropic’s advanced AI model, Claude, into its suite of tools, IBM aims to deliver enhanced productivity, security, and governance within enterprise environments.
This strategic alliance is particularly beneficial for small business owners looking for ways to leverage technology in their operations. With productivity gains averaging an impressive 45% reported by over 6,000 early adopters using IBM’s new AI-first integrated development environment (IDE), the potential for cost savings while maintaining high standards of code quality is a compelling reason to consider these new tools. Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President of Software at IBM, stated, “This partnership enhances our software portfolio with advanced AI capabilities while maintaining the governance, security, and reliability that our clients have come to expect.”
AI is slowly taking over the world, infiltrating every element of our day-to-day lives. There are a ton of useful purposes for AI companions, whether it be image or video generation, or helping speed up boring admin tasks like clearing up your email inbox, and I’ve slowly become obsessed.
While artificial intelligence has made a positive impact in certain areas of my life, there are also some parts of my life which I just don’t want to deal with AI.
Let me paint a picture – something I think almost everyone can relate to. I noticed my electricity bill was increasing one month, and I wasn’t entirely sure why, so I decided to call up my supplier. As the automated voice on the other end starts to speak, telling me to press different buttons to speak to different departments, I followed the instructions and was then met with hold music.
The last few years have shown us how unpredictable markets can be. Sudden shifts in customer behavior, supply chain disruptions, and rapid digital adoption have made it harder for businesses to stay steady. Many organizations struggle to respond, while others adapt quickly and even grow during uncertainty.
The difference often comes down to agility. Businesses that can pivot fast, adjust their operations, and make informed decisions tend to survive and thrive. Agility is no longer just a strategy for technology companies. It has become a way of operating for organizations of all sizes and industries. In this article, we will explore why agile businesses stand out in uncertain times and what sets them apart from those that fail to keep up.
The EU has announced plans to hike tariffs on imported steel in a move the UK’s steel industry has said could be “perhaps the biggest crisis” it has ever faced.
The commission has set out plans to cut the amount of steel that can be imported into the bloc by half, beyond which the new 50% tariffs will apply.
The EU is the UK’s most important export destination for steel, worth nearly £3bn and representing 78% of steel products made in the UK for overseas markets.
The commission has come under pressure from some member states and their steel industries, which have been struggling to compete with cheap imports from countries like China and Turkey.
Elon Musk has agreed to settle a $128m (£100m) lawsuit brought by four former top executives at Twitter, now X, over unpaid severance when he took over the company.
The executives, who include former chief Parag Agrawal, argued that Mr Musk fired them “without reason” after he bought Twitter in 2022 and denied them severance payments.
“The parties have reached a settlement and the settlement requires certain conditions to be met in the near term,” attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote in a court filing last week. They did not disclose the terms of the settlement.
The suit, filed last year, is one of several legal challenges over unpaid severance for workers who were laid off after Musk took over.
Amazon announced on Wednesday that it’s debuting prescription vending machines at its One Medical clinics. The new in-office kiosks, which are operated by Amazon Pharmacy, let patients pick up their prescriptions immediately after their appointment.
Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks will be available at One Medical locations in Los Angeles starting in December, and Amazon plans to expand to more locations soon after.
After a provider writes a prescription, patients can choose to have it sent to Amazon Pharmacy for in-office kiosk pickup. Patients then use their phone to check out in the Amazon app, after which medications are typically “ready in minutes,” Amazon says.
