Introduction and specs If the last two budget iPhone releases are anything to go by, Apple is likely turning it into a regular thing. Just a year after the iPhone 16e release, we now have a new budget iPhone – the 17e. And it’s not just a refresh – we have a handful of upgrades to talk about. This marks an interesting shift in strategy. The iPhone SE handsets (the iPhone 16e and 17e’s spiritual predecessors) were spaced a few years apart. That makes the iPhone 17e the first yearly entry-level iPhone upgrade. There’s no denying that the iPhone 16e…

Nvidia is pushing artificial intelligence beyond its traditional home in the data center, into industrial design software, robotics development pipelines and even the emerging computing infrastructure in space. At the company’s GTC conference in San Jose, where CEO Jensen Huang said demand for its next-generation systems could translate into as much as $1 trillion in purchases through 2027, Nvidia described projects and collaborations aimed at turning its accelerated computing and simulation platforms into a foundation for what it calls “physical AI,” or AI systems that enable autonomous machines to perceive, understand and perform complex actions in the physical world. Engineering…

HimmelfahrtskommandoCurious about off-grid living? Yeah, me too. I love my city, but lately I’ve had the urge to “touch grass” more often than usual. Could I pack us—the kids, my husband, me— up and move to the Scottish Highlands for a year? Or maybe a cabin in the middle of the Smoky Mountains? They’re just daydreams, a logical response to too much traffic and an overbooked schedule. So when I saw the Klumpen, I was interested.Because, while the dream of living off-grid is enticing, the reality is that people (families especially) need plumbing, hot water, and a modern kitchen.

The capabilities of AI agents continue to expand. They have clearly gone beyond simple question answering. They can write code, trigger actions, connect to real applications, and stay running in the background with the authority to make autonomous decisions. Once these started operating that way, it became evident that the AI models themselves are only part of the story. A stable layer underneath is needed to keep those agents secure, predictable, and under control. At GTC 2026 in San Jose, Calif., Nvidia signaled its intent to define that layer with the introduction of NemoClaw – a new stack for the…
