The New York Times reports that US intelligence officials believe an executive at one of Nvidia’s data center customers, Megaspeed, may be a “Chinese intelligence asset,” and has a “close relationship” with Nvidia CEO Huang. Details are sparse in the article, especially on how close that relationship was — Nvidia says she’s just one of “thousands of customer executives” Huang meets every year.

JerryRig the Trump phone.

JerryRigEverything belatedly got hold of a Trump phone for a midterm special durability test, including a blunt recounting of the president’s track record so far. It features more evidence that the T1 Phone is an HTC in disguise, including a repeat of iFixit’s clever trick of swapping motherboards to prove the phones are identical inside and out.

Just a smidge thinner.

The new touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro’s redesigned chassis is only slightly thinner than the Mini LED model — especially comparing the 14-inchers, shown here. It’s when you pick them up that you really notice and can appreciate the lighter weight. Your wallet will be much lighter too.

iFi’s wireless headphone dongle can transmit audio to your car’s stereo, too.

Unlike Twelve South’s recently launched Airfly dongle that can only connect wireless headphones to non-Bluetooth devices, iFi is introducing a new version of its UP Travel dongle that can wirelessly receive audio, too. The $129 UP Travel Max adds Bluetooth 5.4 and support for the aptX Lossless codec, plus Auracast for broadcasting to an unlimited number of listeners with compatible headphones.

Google is working on a new agentic AI experience for consumers.

The company launched a new Gemini agent for enterprise earlier this month, and Google will bring that “same experience” to consumers later this year, starting with the Gemini app, CEO Sundar Pichai said on today’s Q3 2026 earnings call. I’m curious how it will differ from Google’s Gemini Spark agent, which I tested in May, but given the launch window provided by Pichai, we may not have to wait too long to find out.
