00:00Thanks for joining Daily World Podcast's Technology Report on June 4, 2025.

00:15I'm Angela, here to decode the newest tech trends and innovations.

00:21Senate Democrats are urging the Trump administration to expedite the distribution of $42 billion

00:26in broadband grants that have been delayed since the administration took office.

00:32They contend that recent changes to the program favor Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system

00:37over more reliable fiber networks, which could hinder efforts to provide quality internet access

00:42to underserved areas. In Europe, new regulations are set to reshape Android update policies.

00:50The EU's Energy Labeling and Echo Design regulation mandates that smartphones and tablets sold within

00:55the EU must offer at least five years of software support and make spare parts available for

01:00up to seven years after the last sale. This regulation aims to enhance product longevity

01:06and repairability, requiring manufacturers to adhere to specific design standards and display

01:11energy efficiency labels. Concerns are also being raised regarding the regulation of artificial

01:18intelligence. A recent discussion highlighted that toco carts are subject to stricter regulations

01:23than AI technology. Advocates are calling for the RAISE Act, which would enforce safety measures

01:29and accountability for AI companies to mitigate potential risks associated with unregulated AI development.

01:36The Trump administration's collaboration with Palantir, a data analytics company, has come under

01:42scrutiny. Reports indicate that this partnership may lead to the creation of a master database of

01:47American citizens, raising significant privacy concerns. Founded by Peter Thiel, Palantir has been involved in

01:55controversial data collection efforts for the federal government, including tracking immigrants and

01:59assisting military operations. In Ukraine, the military has deployed an AI-powered turret named

02:06Sky Sentinel, which has successfully shot down at least six Russian-shod drones. This system operates

02:13autonomously, requiring minimal human involvement, and is viewed as a cost-effective solution to

02:19strengthen Ukraine's air defenses amidst ongoing drone attacks.

02:24President Trump is preparing to launch a cryptocurrency wallet and trading application,

02:28named the Trump Wallet, in collaboration with Magic Eden, aimed at promoting his MemeCoin.

02:34However, the Trump family has distanced themselves from the project, claiming no involvement or

02:39knowledge, which has led to confusion and potential legal implications regarding the use of the Trump

02:44name. Reddit has introduced new profile settings that allow users to customize the visibility of

02:51their content on a subreddit-by-subreddit basis, including a dedicated NSFW toggle. These updates are

02:58designed to help users better separate their professional and personal profiles, which may lead to increased

03:03user engagement. Microsoft has confirmed that a recent upgrade to the classic Outlook app's

03:10shared calendar feature has introduced several bugs. The company acknowledged these issues and has

03:16provided guidance for users on how to navigate the problems affecting many users of Microsoft 365 apps.

03:24The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 features a larger 7.9-inch display and improved Joy-Con 2 controllers while

03:32maintaining a thin profile similar to its predecessors. Analysts predict it will break launch day sales

03:38records, positioning it as a strong competitor against the PS5 and Xbox Series X slash S, despite being heavier than

03:45the original Switch. In tax-related news, the IRS has open-sourced its Direct File software, which aims to provide a

03:53free and efficient tax filing option. This move comes amidst lobbying efforts from financial tech giants like Intuit to

04:01terminate the project. Developers who worked on Direct File have transitioned out of government to explore

04:07new ways to enhance tax filing, emphasizing the importance of transparency in government services.

04:14Leaked documents have revealed that China is employing advanced AI censorship tactics to suppress references to

04:20the Tiananmen Square massacre. This systematic effort aims to erase historical memory, utilizing algorithms and

04:27human moderators to filter content related to the event.

04:32And Burnick has launched the RG Sly, a retro handheld gaming device that evokes nostalgia, for early 2000s sliding phones.

04:40With features like a high-resolution IPS screen and the ability to emulate various gaming consoles, it aims to attract

04:46gamers seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern functionality.

04:51Apple is reportedly focused on launching Apple glasses ahead of Meta, which is shifting its headset

04:57strategy to prioritize augmented reality capabilities. Meta has canceled its Quest VR headset project to

05:04concentrate on a lightweight headset that could serve as a precursor to AR glasses, while Apple aims to

05:10leverage its Vision Pro technology for its upcoming product.

05:13In Austria, OMV has announced the closure of all its public hydrogen refueling stations, significantly

05:20impacting the adoption of hydrogen vehicles in the country. With only five stations available, this decision poses

05:26challenges for hydrogen vehicle owners and raises concerns about the future of hydrogen technology in Austria.

05:33Chinese lab DeepSeq has released an updated AI model, R1 to 528, which, some researchers speculate, may have been

05:41trained using data from Google's Gemini. This follows previous accusations against DeepSeq for potentially

05:47using outputs from rival AI models, raising concerns about data sourcing and compliance with AI training

05:53regulations. A Utah lawyer has been sanctioned for referencing non-existent cases in a legal filing that

06:00were generated by ChatGPT. The court emphasized the responsibility of attorneys to verify the accuracy of AI-generated

06:08content, ordering the lawyer to pay attorney fees and make a donation to a legal non-profit as part of

06:13the sanctions. Plus users are now able to access Codex, a new feature that enhances their experience, marking an

06:21expansion of capabilities for those subscribed to the Plus service. Amazon MGM Studios is reportedly

06:29developing a film titled Artificial that will depict the events surrounding Sam Altman's firing and subsequent

06:35reinstatement as CEO of OpenAI. The film is expected to blend drama with comedic elements, potentially

06:42featuring Andrew Garfield as Altman and directed by Luca Guadagnino. In technology development, Python

06:50Pandas is set to enhance its performance by replacing NumPy with PyArrow as its default engine for loading and

06:56reading columnar data in the upcoming version 3.0. PyArrow is expected to offer significant improvements

07:04in memory usage and processing speed, particularly beneficial for handling large datasets commonly

07:10used in AI modeling. Finally, TSMC's chairman, Y Jejia, expressed confidence in the company's position

07:18in the AI market, stating that all AI design companies will ultimately rely on TSMC for production.

07:25Despite facing overcapacity in 2023, TSMC plans to manage production carefully by engaging directly

07:33with cloud service providers to align with market demands.

07:38The Washington Post is advancing a new content strategy called Ripple, which will incorporate

07:43contributions from non-professional writers and sub-stack authors. This initiative will be supported

07:48by an AI editor named Ember, equipped with a story strength tracker. The move is part of the

07:54publication's efforts to cut costs and diversify its opinion section. Human editors will still review

08:00all final content prior to publication, ensuring quality control in this innovative approach to

08:05journalism. We've reached the end of our technology coverage on Daily World Podcast.

08:13I'm Angela, keep innovating and we'll see you in the next broadcast.
