In context: The US government’s battle with Huawei isn’t showing signs of abating. As such, Google has published an article that explains how the situation affects the Chinese manufacturer’s devices and its services. With Google’s apps not available on new Huawei phones and tablets, the company is advising people not to sideload the likes of Gmail, YouTube, and Maps.

Back in May last year, Huawei was added to an entity list that essentially prevents US companies from doing business with the firm.

The big picture: PC shipments along with many other electronics are set for a slower than expected year. Not only is general demand down due to market saturation and slowing innovation in the case of PCs, but present delays caused by the coronavirus may reduce manufacturing capacity by as much as two-thirds.

If everything goes okay from here on in – which is not a guarantee, but is reasonably likely, according to analyst firm Canalys – then PC shipments will fall by 3.4% this year. If things continue

Forward-looking: Nvidia’s cloud-based gaming service GeForce Now launched less than three weeks ago but has already accumulated one million users. While many of them are surely just nosing around the free tier, that’s a number that’s sure to impress – unless you’re Bethesda, of course.

Yesterday, Nvidia published on the GeForce Now forums that “most” Bethesda Softworks titles are being removed from the service, including Doom, Fallout 76, and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. The

The researchers found about 25% of all tweets regarding the climate crisis came from bots with a large margin expressing an skeptical view as to its legitimacy.

The study undertaken by a team led by PhD candidate Thomas Marlow examined about 6.5 million tweets from the time frame surrounding President Trump's decision to exit the Paris Climate Accord. These

In brief: Researchers at MIT are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to create powerful new drugs capable of killing disease-causing bacteria, some of which are resistant to all known types of antibiotics.

Only a small number of new antibiotics have been developed over the past few decades due to the cost and time associated with screening them. In fact, most newly approved antibiotics are simply minor variants of existing drugs. But now thanks to the power of artificial intelligence and the growing need to fend off antibiotic-resistant bacteria,

The big picture: At least three additional books will be published at a minimum of one per year based on other iHeartPodcast Network shows such as Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know, Stuff You Missed in History Class and Stuff Mom Never Told You.

Podcasting is arguably one of the hottest mediums for getting your voice out there. Their versatile nature allows for consumption while taking part in other activities that require immediate attention like driving or jogging. Plus, being digital makes them quite portable, too.

Through the looking glass: Every once in a while we'll hear about a celebrity being stalked by a fan. Usually it is some movie or television personality like Kim Kardashian or famous musical artist like Taylor Swift. It is rare that you hear about someone hounding the likes of people like Bill Gates or Tim Cook, until now.

Apple has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man who has allegedly been harassing several company executives and stalking Tim Cook.

In brief: Shopify thinks the current financial system isn't built to support the sheer scale of Internet commerce, so it's joining the Libra Association to help build a new one based on Facebook's cryptocurrency plans. The announcement comes just as some of the earliest backers of Libra abandoned it for fear of drawing too much attention from regulators.

The maligned Libra Association has seen some of its most trusted members retreat from its project. It all started with PayPal, and then Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, eBay
