Tesla's domestic sales in China held steady in November with around 73,000 units delivered, but a closer look at the Model Y L's numbers hints at an emerging shift towards pricier variants that could very well be boosting average selling prices and margins. This suggests that the addition of the Model Y L to Tesla China's lineup will not result in a case of cannibalization, but a possible case of "premiumization" instead.

The sender identified himself as a high school dropout and warned of possible additional attacks targeting Kakao executive sand employees, the company said. The message also included a demand for money to be deposited into a specified account and threatened further action if it was not paid, including a threat directed at Kakao's Jeju office, Kakao said.

Just days after "Saturday Night Live" aired a satirical skit about an "Uber Eats wrapped" and the horrors of discovering how much you spent on it this year, Uber made the embarrassment real with a Spotify-style year-end recap. On Monday, the company launched a new year-in-review feature called "YOUBER," which compiles users' activity across both Uber and Uber Eats.

Despite it still lagging behind peers like Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), the company delivered guidance that exceeded Wall Street expectations, causing a notable post-earnings stock surge. During a recent episode of The AI Investor Podcast, Eric Bleeker and Austin Smith examined Marvell's role in custom accelerators, interconnects, and strategic acquisitions, which provide exposure to high-growth sectors like AI and data infrastructure.

Naturally, the Chrome team denies that Disco replaces Chrome in any way. And, according to Chrome team leader Parisa Tabriz, Disco isn't a general-purpose browser. It's just an experiment that came out of a company hackathon. However, Google Search Labs is exploring ways to integrate Disco's features - including the tab-opening feature, which it calls GenTabs - into general web browsing. Which could be bad news for those who already have trouble keeping their vast quantity of open tabs in check.

The survey comprised a list of LTE and 5G deployments by operator and region, using deployment data from the industry trade organisation made up of telecommunications service providers and manufacturers, and with subscriber and forecast data provided by analyst Omdia. In all, the analysis found that as of 15 November 2025, there were 379 commercial 5G networks deployed worldwide, including 17 in North America, alongside 707 LTE networks globally. 5G Americas said this infrastructure expansion was key to supporting skyrocketing demand for ultra-reliable, low-latency connectivity.

A baby was born in a Waymo this week, and it wasn't even the first one. What started as a novelty story quickly became a reminder of how autonomous vehicles have quietly become part of everyday life, complete with all the messiness that entails. The real coming-of-age story this week, however, wasn't happening in San Francisco's robotaxis. It was playing out in Hollywood, where Netflix made an $82 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming and studio business.

The team behind Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest to unionize as a wave of labor organizing continues sweeping across Microsoft-owned game studios. They join developers across Blizzard, Bethesda, and other Xbox teams in a move aimed at giving them a seat at the table in how things like layoffs are handled at the tech giant. Roughly 165 workers at id Software announced on Friday that they had unionized with the Communications Workers of America.

I've been watching laptop prices slowly drop throughout 2025, a trend that peaked during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Regardless of the state of the economy, I feel like I can say that laptop prices have never been lower. Some of my favorite laptops have recently offered significant price cuts across Macs, Windows, and Chromebooks. In a time when money is tight for so many of us, that's welcome news.

Besides blocking users from reading its website with an AI chatbot, the magazine anointed the "architects of AI" as its most important visionaries of 2025, eschewing the definition of "person" yet again. The eyeroll-inducing announcement was met with plenty of incredulity, especially considering the astronomical amount of money being spent on building out data centers, their enormous carbon footprint, and a whole litany of other ethical conundrums that the embrace of generative AI has spawned.

Midea's new Miro U looks like someone freeze framed that shot, printed it, and walked it down the hall to the robotics lab with the caption "do this, but for factories." Six coordinated arms, a torso that feels almost cloaked, a wheeled base that spins 360 degrees in place, it reads less like industrial equipment and more like a concept sheet that escaped ArtStation.

The chatbot was drawing from a storm of headlines about Scale AI, which until this summer had been touted as one of the most ascendant startups in tech - the place Big Tech companies vying for AI supremacy went to when they wanted their chatbots stress-tested and perfected. Lately, it's lost some of its gleam, with investors significantly lowering valuations, workers sniping about pay, and rivals coming for its clientele.

Cities worldwide are adopting new technologies to improve quality of life and safety. By integrating data from connected systems, sensors and devices, 'smart cities' better understand how municipal resources are used and where problems arise. An example of this is the changing role of video management systems. Over the years, law enforcement agencies have pushed to install more cameras in high-traffic areas and develop real time crime centers to support more proactive interventions. Now cities are beginning to recognize the value of these cameras and analytics to solve municipal problems as well.

In a video posted to Instagram, EngineAI CEO Zhao Tongyang geared up in leg, stomach, and head pads. Workers taunted him, asking if he was nervous. The company's T800 robot then appeared to kick Tongyang in the stomach, and he can be seen falling to the ground. "Too violent!" Tongyang said in a translation. "Too brutal!" The video featuring its CEO came after EngineAI posted a separate video of its humanoid robot doing kicks and flips.
