The Department of Justice has announced that it’s intervening on the behalf of xAI in the company’s recent lawsuit against the state of Colorado. xAI first filed the suit in early April in response to a recent Colorado law that requires developers of “high-risk” AI systems (for example, ones used in healthcare, employment or housing) to both disclose and mitigate the risk of algorithmic discrimination in their systems. The law is set to go into effect in June, and the DOJ is now asking a Colorado District Court to declare it unconstitutional.In xAI’s original argument, Colorado Bill SB24-205 violated the…
It looks like Nubia is getting ready for another refresh in its gaming phone lineup. The RedMagic 11s Pro has now appeared in a certification listing, which usually means things are moving toward a launch. The listing comes from Thailand’s NBTC and confirms the name along with the model number NX809J. There’s no mention of specs there, which isn’t unusual, but it’s enough to confirm the device is on the way. What’s slightly confusing is the model number. NX809J has been linked before to the RedMagic 11 Pro. And if you remember, when the 11 Pro launched globally, it already…
Great news for Final Fantasy XIV freaks, but bad news for those of us who are still trying to catch up with the MMORPG’s literally hundreds-of-hours-long story: FFXIV is about to get even longer.

It’s slated to release in January 2027. Evercold is going to be a pretty big deal. The expansion kicks off a new story arc called the Godless Realms Saga, another detail that was revealed today. Pretty much all of…
Moderna’s mRNA-based combination vaccine against both flu and COVID-19 has gotten the green light in Europe—but it continues to be shelved in the US, where it was developed. This week, the European Commission authorized Moderna to market the vaccine, mRNA-1083 or mCOMBRIAX, making it the world’s first authorized combination shot for the two respiratory viruses. The decision follows a positive review in February from a key European Medicines Agency’s committee, which paved the way for the approval. Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel welcomed the news. “By combining protection against two significant respiratory viruses in a single dose, our vaccine aims to…
El Niño is forecast to return as early as May, which could bring above-normal temperatures to almost everywhere on Earth, according to a new report.El Niño events occur every two to seven years as part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) natural climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean. The ENSO cycle flips between the warmer El Niño phase and the cooler La Niña phase, with neutral periods in between. El Niño periods bring elevated sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, thereby weakening or reversing trade winds and strongly disrupting global temperatures and rainfall patterns.In a Global Seasonal…
XChat, the standalone app for accessing X’s messaging feature, is available to download now for iOS.

The new XChat app also supports video and audio calls, and X claims that…
A new set of renders, said to show the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro, has surfaced on the web, although the phone is months away from launch. From the renders, the Xiaomi 18 Pro retains the wide camera plateau on the back with a triple-camera setup along with a secondary rear display. To note, the render currently shows the interior of the phone, and not a finished look. The more notable addition this generation could be a new physical AI button on the side of the device. According to the leak, this button is designed for quick access to AI-powered features,…
Today’s Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest keynote speech was almost absurdly packed with major announcements, including a release window and a title for its long-awaited sixth expansion, Evercold. At the end of what was already a really long keynote, however, the team behind the game also announced that FFXIV is finally headed to a Nintendo platform for the first time in its 13-year history…with a catch. During the keynote speech, Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu made a surprise appearance to deliver the very wild announcement that FFXIV is headed to the Nintendo Switch 2. The port is set to launch…
I’ve used ChatGPT to help me build a budget before, and it was genuinely helpful. After I input my monthly salary as well as my standard utilities and recurring expenses, the chatbot drafted a few solid options, and I tweaked them into penny-pinching perfection. I’m admittedly part of the growing number of people turning to chatbots, like Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, for financial advice.“Millions of people turn to ChatGPT with money-related questions, from understanding debt to building budgets and learning financial concepts,” says Niko Felix, an OpenAI spokesperson, when reached for comment. “ChatGPT can be a helpful…
Catastrophic water shortages are in store for the 40 million people living in areas fed by the Colorado River, even if cities in the region such as Denver, Phoenix and Las Vegas make dramatic cuts to their usage, recent research suggests.Water shortages could start as soon as this summer, as snowpack levels reached a record low over Lake Powell and the spring runoff into the Colorado River is expected to be minimal, experts told Live Science. And the region’s major cities, which have already slashed their per capita water consumption by up to 58% between 2002 and 2025, can’t solve…
