An SEC spokesperson told Ars today that the commission’s policy is “to conduct investigations on a confidential basis to preserve the integrity of its investigative process. The SEC therefore does not comment on the existence or nonexistence of a possible investigation.” A Reuters source confirmed the settlement offer. “The SEC sent Musk a settlement offer on Tuesday seeking a response in 48 hours, but extended it to Monday after a request for more time, the source said,” according to a Reuters article today. The settlement offer was also confirmed by a source who spoke to The Washington Post. “One person…
Lenovo’s Legion Go handheld is arguably one of the cooler and more unique handheld gaming PCs out there, and now Best Buy has it for just $549.99. Which isn’t a bad price at all. There are a few things worth mentioning here about this price though. This is not the lowest we’ve seen it. In fact, it was lower back on December 2 and even further back on October 28. The deal in October was for the 512GB model (the same as today’s deal) and it was priced at $499. The deal from December 2 was for Cyber Monday, and…
Update, December 13, 2024 (2:16 PM ET): Last week, Google brought Pixel users an early holiday present with the release of the December Pixel Drop. That included not just the latest improvements to the Android platform but also updates for a bunch of Google apps. We started seeing the Pixel Camera app get its 9.7 update for select users last Friday, but it was clear at the time that this release was still not widely available. Fast-forward to now, and it looks like the latest Pixel Camera build is finally starting to roll out to Pixel users everywhere (via 9to5Google).…
That mind is partly revealed through Herzog’s running narration, such as when he muses about collective behavior and whether fish have souls—a digression sparked by his interview with Siri co-inventor Tom Gruber. “In the background, I saw his TV screen still on, we didn’t switch it off, and I saw some very, very strange school of fish,” said Herzog. “I asked him about the school of fish, which he had filmed himself. And all of a sudden, I’m only interested in the fish and common behavior. Why do they behave in big schools, in unison? Why do they do that?…
Anker makes some really great power products and this 60,000mAh Power Station is one of the coolest ones it makes, and as luck would have it, Amazon has it on sale right now.

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Apple will stop selling the iPhone 14 series and iPhone SE 3 in Europe by the end of 2024. An EU law requires all mobile phones sold in the region to use USB-C ports by 2025.

The Lightning port’s time in Europe is drawing to a close as Apple prepares to discontinue the last iPhones featuring the proprietary connector. As reported by Generation, Apple will stop selling the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series…
A bitcoin investor who went to increasingly great lengths to hide $1 million in cryptocurrency gains on his tax returns was sentenced to two years in prison on Thursday. It seems that not even his most “sophisticated” tactics—including using mixers, managing multiple wallets, and setting up in-person meetings to swap bitcoins for cash—kept the feds from tracing crypto trades that he believed were untraceable. The Austin, Texas, man, Frank Richard Ahlgren III, started buying up bitcoins in 2011. In 2015, he upped his trading, purchasing approximately 1,366 using Coinbase accounts. He waited until 2017 before cashing in, earning $3.7 million…

TL;DR NotebookLM is getting some big upgrades for Gemini 2.0. You can now interrupt the hosts of an Audio Overview podcast and ask them questions. Google also gives the tool a new interface and is introducing a Plus version with higher usage limits. With all the new AI-powered systems we see launched everyday, sometimes it feels like companies are just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. This year, one that definitely stuck for us was NotebookLM, Google’s tool for summarizing information and offering the ability to present it in the form of an automatically generated “podcast,” complete…
For the new study, researchers at the Mayo Clinic analyzed health statistics collected by the World Health Organization. The resource included data from 183 countries, allowing the researchers to compare countries’ life expectancy and healthspans, which are calculated by years of life weighted by health status. Longer, but not better Overall, the researchers saw lifespan-healthspan gaps grow around the world, with the average gap rising from 8.5 years in 2000 to 9.6 years in 2019. Global life expectancy rose 6.5 years, to about 73 years, while healthspans only rose 5.4 years in that time, to around 63 years. But the…
