Temu Halts Direct China Shipments Amid U.S. Tariff Hike
Temu has stopped shipping products from China to the U.S. directly in response to President Trump's executive order ending the de minimis rule which allowed items ≤ $800 to enter U.S. without import fees and increasing tariffs.
The company has now transitioned to a "local fulfillment model", recruiting U.S. sellers to join the platform and source products from U.S. warehouses instead. The consumer pricing remains unchanged during this shift, and the products from China are being listed as "out of stock."

Congress Passes TAKE IT DOWN Act Despite Major Flaws
The House of Representatives has passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which criminalizes non-consensual sharing of intimate images, including revenge porn and AI-generated deepfakes, imposing up to 2 years’ imprisonment for adults and 3 for minors. It mandates platforms to remove content within 48 hours of reporting, enforced by the FTC.
However, critics say that bad faith actors could abuse it to remove almost anything from the internet, and Donald Trump could use it to quiet others. The bill could lead to "suppression of lawful speech."

4chan is back after a nearly two-week shutdown
On April 14th, a hacker exploited an outdated software and hacked 4chan, via a fake PDF upload, which led to a severe breach of its databases and source code. After the hacker downloaded the data, they started vandalising 4chan.
The servers were running old OSs, the staff wasn't able to update the code and infrastructure. 4chan rarely got advertisers.
Now, the breached server has been replaced, PDF uploads have been disabled temporarily, and the /f/ - Flash board has been closed permanently, to prevent similar exploits using .swf files. 4chan is now recruiting volunteers to keep up with the workload.

Firefox could be doomed without a Google search deal
Mozilla’s CFO has said that Firefox’s future will be at risk if the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) restricts Google’s search monopoly. Google’s payments for the default search engine on Firefox make up about 85% of Mozilla’s revenue.
Losing this revenue means Mozilla would be forced to make drastic cuts, which could "put Firefox out of business," along with other nonprofit efforts like open-source web tools.

NVIDIA has released its PhysX physics engine and Flow simulation tool as fully open-source under the permissive BSD 3 license.
With over 500 CUDA kernels powering features such as rigid body dynamics, fluid simulation, and deformable objects, GPU PhysX represents one of the most advanced real-time simulation use cases of CUDA and GPU programming. We hope this release will be a valuable resource for learning, experimentation, and development across the community.
In addition, we’re also open-sourcing the full GPU compute shader implementation of the Flow SDK, our real-time, sparse grid–based fluid simulation library.

Microsoft is making Office apps load at startup
Microsoft is introducing "Startup Boost" for Office apps, beginning with Word in mid-May 2025. It will enhance load times by preloading the apps at Windows startup. It is only available for PCs having at least 8GB of RAM and 5GB of free disk space to maintain performance.
The scheduled task will wait for 10 minutes before execution to prevent slowing down Windows on login. After the task executes, the app remains in paused state. It can be disabled via app settings or Task Scheduler. The feature will later extend to other Office apps.

You can now officially unlock the bootloader of your Rabbit R1
It has been made possible to unlock the bootloader on rabbit R1 officially since 20th March 2025 by putting it into developer mode. However, putting R1 on developer mode permanently voids the device's warranty.
To put R1 in developer mode, you must contact customer support, and then use the Rabbit R1 Flash Tool to get into fastboot and unlock the bootloader. You can revert to rabbitOS at any time.
Currently, the custom ROM available for R1 is CipherOS by Aryan Sinha, whom rabbit asked to open source their kernel as well. Aryan worked with the rabbit team to enable stuff on R1 that wasn't possible before, like enabling calling, Native Camera Control, etc., converting the R1 to a fully functional phone.

The brightness slider is redesigned, and a split Quick Settings/notifications panel might arrive later.
The blur effect also appears in the app drawer, Recents menu, and PIN screen (along with dynamic-colored dots). The date/weather placement in the lock screen is changed, and a compact notification shelf is added. Volume sliders are thinner with distinct handles, and the media switcher is redesigned as well.
The Settings app now has colourful icons, menu items within cards, and subpage arrows. Pixel Launcher has new icon shapes like “four-sided cookie” and “complex clover.”

Meta, which went by the name of Facebook at the time, will defend itself by arguing that it helped grow those acquisitions into large businesses used by billions of people while facing plenty of competition along the way.
