Hasbro and Scooby Doo team up for one of the goofiest Transformers yet

Engadget

Say hello to Mysterious Prime and Automutt. Hasbro has been cooking up some wild Transformers collabs as of late. There are a range of official NFL helmets that convert into pig-skin throwing robots, an awesome looking mashup inspired by Evangelion, a ball-shaped bot for the World Cup and so much more . However, Hasbro's latest partnership with folks behind Scooby Doo may have resulted in one of the silliest Transformers in recent history. Priced at $58, this set actually contains not one but two robots. The iconic Mystery Machine converts into a robot called Mysterious Prime while a rather unassuming box of Scooby Snacks becomes a mechanical canine sleuth named Automutt.

SpaceX shares slide as it joins the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100

Al Jazeera

SpaceX's swift addition to the Nasdaq-100 index is expected to unleash billions in passive buying, as brokerages kicked off coverage of the $2 trillion rocket and satellite company with largely bullish views. The Elon Musk-led company joined the index on Tuesday, less than a month after its stock market debut on June 12 - among the fastest inclusions ever - thanks to the Nasdaq's revised rules for newly listed companies looking to enter widely tracked benchmarks. However, shares of SpaceX fell 5.4 percent, reflecting a slide in high-momentum tech stocks, including Micron Technology, on concerns about the longevity of the AI boom. "There's nervousness about expectations being too high," said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist for Nationwide. "I expect that to continue until we get some earnings out."


Peter Shor's algorithm could break the internet – but he's not worried

New Scientist

Peter Shor's algorithm could break the internet - but he's not worried Few people have invented an algorithm with the potential to spark a worldwide crisis, so why is quantum computing pioneer Peter Shor so unconcerned? "So, he's the Beyoncé of this event?" a young woman standing behind me says to a colleague. The three of us are standing, looking at the back of a crowd, whose members are all looking at a bearded man in an orange sweater. Getting a look at him is like trying to see the - only fleeting glimpses are possible. "His algorithm is the algorithm that will break everything," the colleague says, as I briefly catch sight of people posing for selfies and getting their conference badges signed.


Does time come from the entire universe running computations?

New Scientist

Does time come from the entire universe running computations? Explaining the passage of time has been a gnarly problem in physics basically forever, but physicist and computer scientist Stephen Wolfram has a radical proposal for where it comes from. What if the universe is just one big computer? My colleagues and I have a running joke: time isn't real. Oh, you thought that deadline was tomorrow, but it's actually today?


iRobot made a non-robot floor cleaner

Engadget

The Roomba Electro Plus is the company's first non-robotic floor cleaner, so rather than automation, the headline feature here is a 5-in-1 cleaning solution that combines vacuuming, mopping and disinfecting in a single device. Designed to be used on hard floors, the human-operated cordless Electro Plus transforms regular tap water into a commercial-grade disinfectant that, according to iRobot, kills 99.99 percent of bacteria, fungi, viruses and germs. If you're wondering how this is possible, iRobot's chief engineer and vice president, Adam Pope, told that it takes the naturally occurring chlorine in the water from your tap and creates hypochlorous acid with it using an electrical current. Because it eschews chemicals and toxins of any kind in favor of its electrolyzed water tech, iRobot says its new floor cleaner is completely safe for kids and pets. The Electro Plus is designed to clean and disinfect floors in a single pass, and the ThermaClean dock automatically washes, dries and sanitizes the mop.


US trade deficit surges amid artificial intelligence spending boom

Al Jazeera

The United States trade deficit has jumped to $77.6bn in May on rising imports, driven by goods that include pharmaceuticals, mobile phones and semiconductors. Imports ticked up 3.3 percent from April to $395.3bn while exports fell 3.2 percent to $317.7bn, according to a report released on Tuesday by the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Census Bureau. The surge came amid a boom in artificial intelligence spending across the economy. Notably, semiconductor imports jumped by $1.2bn. In the oil and gas sector, petroleum imports jumped to their highest level on record despite the US-Israel war on Iran.


You can install classic Windows Movie Maker on Windows 11. Here's how

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that users can now install the classic Windows Movie Maker 6.0 on Windows 11, despite Microsoft discontinuing it in 2017. This lightweight video editor uses 97% less RAM than Clipchamp, making it ideal for older PCs with limited resources. The working version is available through Internet Archive and offers a simple alternative to Windows 11's current default editor. Back in January 2017, Microsoft discontinued the classic video editing app Windows Movie Maker, much to the disappointment of users at the time. Though limited in functionality and not without its flaws, Movie Maker's drag-and-drop design made it possible for with a PC to cut, splice, and edit video clips.
