PCWorld reviews Bunny Ears TV, a new Apple TV app that transforms your Plex Media Server library into 24/7 streaming channels with cable-like navigation. The app creates up to 26 themed channels from personal video collections, offering ad-free channel surfing with DVR controls and customizable features. Despite some usability issues and bugs, it provides an effective alternative to ad-heavy free streaming services for $3/month or $30 lifetime. While lots of free streaming services offer lineups of live TV channels to flip through, they all have the same problem: You're not in control of the content, and you're constantly interrupted by ads. A new app called Bunny Ears TV aims to solve those problems with help from Plex Media Server. If you have an Apple TV box and your own collection of movie or TV files in Plex, Bunny Ears TV can spin them into dozens of round-the-clock streaming channels with practically no effort. It's a neat app that mimics the channel surfing of cable using your own content, but unlike with cable, there are no commercial breaks.

China had previously restricted the import of Nvidia's H200 chips on concerns that a flood of American-designed AI processors would hinder the government's long-held goal of developing an indigenous chip industry. China plans to allow its top artificial intelligence companies to buy a limited number of H200 chips from Nvidia, a sign the country is easing restrictions on the coveted U.S. technology, according to The Information news site. Chinese officials have informed companies such as Alibaba Group Holding, ByteDance and DeepSeek that they will have permission to purchase some of the processors, which are used to develop AI models, the news site said Wednesday. The companies need to say how many chips they need -- and why -- to get approval, according to The Information. The chips have emerged as a geopolitical flash point for the world's two largest economies.

Reliant on Nvidia hardware for AI training and inferencing since its outset, Turing now handles roughly 10% of its AI training needs with Advanced Micro Devices graphics processing units. Self-driving tech developer Turing has added AMD Ventures to its list of backers and begun adopting Advanced Micro Devices' AI accelerators in its systems. The five-year-old Japanese startup is adding to its capabilities as it builds toward a commercial launch. Reliant on Nvidia hardware for AI training and inferencing since its outset, Turing now handles roughly 10% of its AI training needs with AMD graphics processing units, company executives said in an interview. AMD, headquartered a stone's throw away from Nvidia in Santa Clara, California, presented a good chance to diversify supply and achieve lower costs, the executives said. "We've made notable progress with the technology.

Should buyers invest in a new budget processor like Intel's Wildcat Lake? I don't dislike Lenovo's 15-inch IdeaPad Slim 3i, which boasts a brand-new Intel Core Series 3 chip. This "Wildcat Lake" chip is a stripped-down version of Intel's superb Panther Lake processor, and it sort of feels like it is right out of the box. But the performance is blah, and a recent Snapdragon version of this IdeaPad laptop seems to offer more for the money.

Lenovo's Legion 5i is down to $1,599 from $2,099 at B&H, a $500 savings on a rock-solid gaming laptop with great performance. This massive discount is only available today--according to B&H, the offer ends at midnight tonight, Eastern time. If you've been itching to upgrade your laptop in the midst of the global hardware shortage, now's the time. The RTX 5070 is the star of the Legion 5i.

Flexion Robotics, a startup founded by ex-Nvidia engineers, has a clever way of training robots to do useful work. Humanoid robots might be able to run, dance, and occasionally kick people, but to become human, they're going to need to learn how to do all sorts of menial chores at work. Flexion Robotics, a Swiss startup founded by ex-Nvidia robotics researchers, thinks it has the solution. The company has developed a way to train robots to perform complex tasks that involve simple skills like opening doors, climbing stairs, and carrying boxes. The key is to teach the robots individual skills in simulation, then have a master AI algorithm determine how to use them.

People stand near humanoid robots on display at the Nvidia booth during the China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing, China June 22, 2026. Nvidia Corp. is working to make humanoid robots safer around people, arguing that they'll need to handle split-second decisions before they can be trusted to work closely with humans. The chipmaker is offering software and semiconductors that will allow humanoids to enter the workplace and truly interact with people -- even making physical contact if necessary. Nvidia's Halos software, developed from systems used for self-driving vehicles, will be the basis of computers that give robots a much better awareness of what's happening around them, the company said in a statement Monday. Nvidia and its Silicon Valley peers are racing to develop technology for robotics, billing it as the next big market for artificial intelligence. The machines will evolve into a market with billions of devices, tech executives predict.

Lithography orchestrates a symphony of light, mask and photochemicals to transfer the integrated circuit patterns onto the wafer. Lithography simulation serves as the critical nexus between circuit design and manufacturing, where its speed and accuracy fundamentally govern the optimization quality of downstream resolution enhancement techniques (RETs). While machine learning promises to circumvent computational limitations of lithography process through data-driven or physics-informed approximations of computational lithography, existing simulators suffer from inadequate lithographic awareness due to insufficient training data capturing essential process variations and mask correction rules.

The Razer Blade 18 isn't cheap--even with 32GB of RAM--but it provides excellent performance in an attractive chassis. The Razer Blade 18 is a beast. It's over an inch thick, weighs over seven pounds, and has a 400-watt power adapter. The configuration I tested ships with an MSRP of $5,399.
