NASA mission to rescue the falling Swift observatory has launched

Engadget

A robotic spacecraft called LINK will soon tug the telescope to a higher orbit. The NASA Swift Boost mission has launched from Marshall Islands on July 3 at 4:36AM Eastern time after a couple of delays, and the agency has started preparing it for its ultimate goal: To rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which is falling faster than anticipated. Swift Boost's ground teams have already established communication with LINK, the robotic spacecraft designed by Arizona company Katalyst Space to dock with the observatory and to tug it back into a higher orbit. LINK was attached to a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket, which was in turn attached to the belly of a plane called Stargazer. The plane took off from Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands and then released the Pegasus XL rocket in the air at an altitude of around 40,000.


Midjourney wants the Hollywood studios that sued it to show the court how they use AI

Engadget

Midjourney wants to see how Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney and Universal Studios use artificial intelligence technologies in their shows and movies, and according to Variety it wants the companies to submit that information to court. Midjourney argued that training AI with publicly available images is fair use and that the studios themselves use the same training practices for their own AI models. Specifically, Midjourney is asking for the studios' AI business plans, research reports, training datasets, model weights and even the presentations about AI the companies used for their board meetings. However, in mid-June, a magistrate judge allowed the studios to withhold most information involving their AI use and to hand over only information related to consumer-facing AI applications. Now, Midjourney is asking the federal court to overturn that judge's order. According to litigation publication Mealey's, Midjourney's reasoning is that the evidence it's asking for is related to its fair use defense.

The best PC games of 2026 (that don't need a graphics card) It's a rough time for anyone looking to buy or build a gaming PC. But you don't need one for these games, the cream of the crop for anyone who doesn't have the latest hardware. This is the eighth year running that I've written a roundup of the best new games for low-power PCs. And before now, I felt like it might be losing its relevance. After all, the Steam Deck doesn't have a discrete graphics card, and plenty of new laptops are coming out with tons of integrated graphical oomph.
