The European Commission has approved NVIDIA’s proposed acquisition of Run:ai, an Israel-based provider of a compute management platform. It is pushing for Apple to enhance interoperability between iOS and third-party devices.

NVIDIA supplies GPUs for data centres, while Run:ai supplies GPU orchestration software. These products must be compatible, and it was thought that the acquisition could result in the companies intentionally hampering their respective products’ compatibility with competitors.

However, the Commission’s investigation found that NVIDIA could not prevent its GPUs from being compatible with the orchestration software of Run:ai’s competitors due to the widespread nature of tools that ensure such compatibility. Furthermore, Run:ai lacks a dominant position in the GPU orchestration software market, as many equivalent alternatives are available or can be built in-house. This led to the deal being approved unconditionally.

Another day, another Tesla recall. This time, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informed the owners of almost 700,000 Tesla vehicles warning them of a problem with a warning light for the tire pressure monitoring system as reported by the Associated Press.

The recall affects the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017-2025 Model 3 and 2020-2025 Model Y Vehicles. The NHTSA says the warning light for the tire pressure monitoring system may not stay illuminated between drives.

The jury delivered its decision Friday in an industry-defining licensing battle that started over a $50 million royalty dispute.

Arm has lost a battle over licensing of its microprocessor designs to Qualcomm, ending doubt over the immediate future of some of the chip maker’s products.

The jury in the US District Court for the District of Delaware spent the week listening to arguments in the protracted and increasingly rancorous licensing dispute between Arm and Qualcomm over whether Qualcomm is properly licensed to use technology acquired when it bought startup Nuvia in 2021.

From 12 to 24 November, Europol supported Customs authorities from 23 EU Member States in a large operation against money laundering, transnational criminal activities and terrorism financing.

The operation resulted in over 500 cash movement checks and the subsequent detection of illicit cash flows of almost EUR 2.7 million in cash. This amount is likely to increase in the upcoming months as many discoveries are currently being prosecuted. In addition to cash, authorities also seized valuable items such as gold and jewellery, including 18 gold bars with a value exceeding EUR 1,7 million.

The FaceTime camera on a MacBook Pro is famously not as good as one on an iPhone, but new research shows Apple is continuing to work on it — and may have decided that the answer involves mounting larger cameras on a rotating display.

Maybe you don’t give the camera notch on the MacBook Pro a second thought. But even if you loathe it, and believe it’s taking up screen real estate, the one thing you can’t say is that it is thick.

It’s quite wide, wide enough that you wonder why it doesn’t include Face ID yet. But it doesn’t add to the thickness of the MacBook Pro lid, and maybe it’s this thickness that limits how good a camera system Apple can fit in there.
