It's the ambition of every tech company to be first, but maybe not this kind of first.

Apple and Meta are being forced to pay up hundreds of millions of dollars by the European Commission, making them the first companies to be fined for violations under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).

Announced on Wednesday, Apple has been fined €500 million — about $570 million, or 0.15 percent of Apple's $391.04 billion revenue in 2024 — for charges regarding its "anti-steering" practices that didn't comply with DMA antitrust rules. "Anti-steering" is when the Apple App Store restricts developers from informing their users of optional platforms outside of the Apple App Store where they can make purchases.

Meta was fined €200 million — about $230 million, or 0.14 percent of Meta's $164.50 billion revenue in 2024 — for charges regarding Facebook and Instagram's "pay or consent" ad model, in which users have to pay to get an ad-free experience on the social media platform or consent to the platforms using their data.

Both Meta and Apple can get out of the fines if they comply with the European Commission's ruling within the next 60 days. According to the Verge and The New York Times, Apple and Meta both plan to appeal the ruling.

This follows a rough few months for fellow tech giant Google, with two big antitrust decisions and an action against the platform in Japan.

SAVE $100: As of April 23, get a certified renewed Shark FlexStyle HD430 air styling system for $199.99 at Shark's website. That's $100 off the regular refurb price and $40 less than the current sale price on a brand new FlexStyle.

Some might say spending money on a new beauty tool is superfluous during Tariff Times. I say it's genius if you find the right deal. When most of the chaos around you is out of your control, counting on a good hair day could do wonders for your attitude.

For those looking into Dyson Airwraps or Airwrap dupes, that "right deal" lies in the refurbished section of Shark's website. There, you can score a certified renewed Shark FlexStyle air styler (the Straight & Wavy model) for $199.99. That's $100 less than the regular refurb price, and $40 less the current $239.99 sale price on the brand-new version of the same FlexStyle.

Coming from someone who bought their Shark FlexStyle used from someone on Mercari for more than $200, I can tell you that this is your cheapest path to a Shark FlexStyle. Plus, the "Certified Renewed" badge means this styler has been professionally tested to be in working condition. If it's not, you have 60 days to return it and get your money back.

Our hot take is that the Shark FlexStyle would still be the move over the Airwrap, even if they were the exact same price. Mashable's Bethany Allard has tested both thoroughly and digs the variety that the plethora of possible Shark attachments bring to the table. They make up for how loud it is.

The renewed version on sale here comes with 1.25-inch auto-wrap curlers that use Coanda technology for that classic blowout look, an oval brush and a paddle brush attachment, and a style concentrator. You could use the money you saved with this deal to buy a few other attachments — the diffuser and Frizz Fighter are crowd favorites.

There's been a lot of talk online about "recession indicators" over the past few months. Now, we have a big one.

Intel is reportedly preparing for its largest round of layoffs ever.

According to a new story from Bloomberg, Intel is set to announce a massive 20 percent reduction in its workforce. This would mark the second time in less than a year that the company laid off employees. In August 2024, Intel cut 15,000 workers. After that round of layoffs, the computing giant had roughly 108,900 employees at the end of 2024.

A 20 percent workforce cut could amount to more than 21,000 employees losing their jobs.

The report says that the layoffs are a part of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan's vision to restructure the company to "refocus" on an "engineering-driven" approach. Intel is also looking to cut costs and eliminate "bureaucracy."

The last round of layoffs targeted mostly non-manufacturing and non-engineering roles like those working in sales, marketing, and administration. It's unclear exactly what roles would be eliminated in the potential Intel layoffs. CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took over the company last month, does appear interested in eliminating some managerial positions based on his stated plans.

Intel has struggled in recent years as Nvidia took over as the leading chipmaker, buoyed by the rise of AI. Intel has seen its sales decline for three consecutive years now. Clearly, the company is looking for a reset to get business back on track. As companies like OpenAI promise massive productivity gains from AI technology, the move could also reflect a growing confidence among tech leaders that they can now do more with less.

If Intel moves forward with layoffs, the company will join the growing list of tech companies that have laid off workers over the past year.

As the fate of Chrome hangs in the balance of the Google antitrust trial, one thing is clear: OpenAI wants to buy it.

During the ongoing remedy phase of the Department of Justice's case against Google, OpenAI executive Nick Turley testified on Tuesday that his company would be interested in buying Chrome if Google was forced to sell it. Selling the Chrome web browser is one of the DOJ's proposed remedies for breaking up Google's search monopoly.

Turley, head of product for ChatGPT, was a DOJ witness during the hearing. When asked whether OpenAI would be interested in buying Chrome if Google was forced to divest it, Turley said, “Yes, we would, as would many other parties," as Bloomberg reported.

OpenAI is one of Google's chief rivals in the artificial intelligence arms race, and acquiring Chrome could be quite the coup for OpenAI. Chrome currently has around 66 percent of the browser market share.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled last summer that "Google is a monopolist" in the search market. Now, the trial is in its remedy phase, where the court will decide how exactly to break up Google. Besides divesting from Chrome, the DOJ has also suggested that Google could share its search data with other companies.

Enter, OpenAI. Turley also testified that OpenAI approached Google last summer to strike a licensing deal for its search data for developing its ChatGPT search product, which connects ChatGPT to the web for real-time search answers. But Google turned down the offer from its rival, which has siphoned off users who prefer using ChatGPT instead of traditional search engines.

Through OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft, ChatGPT's real-time search uses Bing. But Turley (without naming Microsoft) said forcing Google to share its search data would "'allow us to build a better product faster' by 'improving the quality of real-time information,'" according to The Information.

The outlet previously reported that OpenAI was looking into building its own web browser, even hiring two central people from the Chrome division. An OpenAI web browser with ChatGPT at the forefront and increasing agentic capabilities for autonomous web browsing could be a critical new piece in the user experience.

So, while losing Chrome would be a massive blow to Google's business, losing Chrome to OpenAI could have big implications for the future of the internet as we know it.

As Pee-wee Herman, Paul Reubens delighted generations of children through his series Pee-wee's Playhouse, and movies like Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Big Top Pee-wee, and Pee-wee's Big Holiday. Meanwhile, on late night talk shows and his sold-out stage show, The Pee-wee Herman Show, he awed adults by making them feel like kids again. But who was the man behind the bowtie?

SEE ALSO: How 'Pee-wee’s Playhouse' became our home away from home 36 years on

Directed by Matt Wolf, Pee-wee as Himself is a two-part documentary that features in-depth interviews with Reubens and friends, looking back on his life, his loves, his work, and on the scandals that repeatedly stalled his career. The trailer above addresses the trepidation Reubens had in surrendering his story to the control of Wolf's vision for the documentary. While this conflict between filmmaker and subject is at the core of Pee-wee as Himself, the resulting doc is the closest fans can come to understanding the late, great Reubens.

In Mashable's review out of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, I cheered, "Pee-wee as Himself is not a simple love letter to the iconic character or Reubens. That would suggest Wolf goes easy on either, fawning over them without reservation. This is something greater."

And you can see all that it is when Pee-wee as Himself comes to streaming next month.

How to watch: Pee-wee as Himself: Part One debuts May 23 at 8:00-9:40 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and Max. Part Two will follows at 9:40-11:20 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and Max.

$399.99 VALUE: As of April 23, buying any of the three sizes of the 2025 Samsung Frame Pro unlocks a free Samsung Music Frame (a digital picture frame turned Bluetooth speaker).

Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung The Frame Pro Neo QLED 4K Art TV (65, 75, and 85 inches) Get a free $399.99 Music Frame with purchase Get Deal

Spotting an early deal on a big tech item that just came out is always fun. But any promo attached to a flagship product hits different when tariffs are causing most other tech to get more expensive. Samsung's definitely not immune to that tariff aftershock, but somehow, it's still giving away free Dolby Atmos-fueled Music Frames to anyone who buys the new Samsung Frame Pro TV. For reference, that just released to the public a few weeks ago.

As of April 23, all three sizes of the Samsung Frame Pro Neo QLED 4K Art TV announced at CES come with one of Samsung's Music Frames for free, which usually cost $399.99. Here's the full bundle breakdown, compared to paying full price for both:

• Samsung Frame Pro 65-inch — $2,199.99 $2,599.98 (save $399.99)

• Samsung Frame Pro 75-inch — $3,199.99 $3,599.98 (save $399.99)

• Samsung Frame Pro 85-inch — $4,299.99 $4,699.98 (save $399.99)

A savings of $399.99 might seem negligible when the TV still costs thousands regardless. But hey, a free $400 Bluetooth speaker digital picture frame is a free $400 Bluetooth speaker digital picture frame. (Nothing's stopping you from selling it.) That's much cheaper than even the best sale price we've seen on the Music Frame by itself, which was $149.99 in February.

If you have an old TV to trade in or recycle, Samsung has programs for that that could save you an extra $50.

As a refresher, The Frame's whole bit is looking as close to framed wall art as possible when the TV's not on. Picture a picture frame-like bezel instead of the regular plasticky ones most TVs have, an anti-glare matte screen, and access to a library of high-quality digital versions of famous paintings from museums around the world.

One main difference between The Frame and The Frame Pro is the jump to a Neo QLED panel. "Neo" is essentially Samsung's version of mini LED: Neo QLED panels pack thousands of grain of sand-sized LED bulbs behind the screen, offering vast opportunities for tweaking brightness and color in each scene down to the millimeter. That customization leads to starker details and all around exquisite picture quality — quite the accomplishment, considering the regular QLED Frame still looks pretty damn good.

The Frame Pro can also connect to the Wireless One Connect Box wirelessly within 30 feet.

Politics takes a turn for the entertainingly ridiculous in the trailer for Heads of State, an action-comedy about U.S. president Will Derringer (John Cena) becoming stranded with UK prime minister (and rival) Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) in hostile territory.

With the help of MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) the pair find themselves fighting for their lives with minimal allies, but guns and explosions aplenty. Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Jack Quaid (Companion), Stephen Root (Barry), Sarah Niles (Ted Lasso), Richard Coyle (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon) also star.

Heads of State is streaming on Prime Video from July 2.

Imagine an AI video chatbot you can interact with in real-time. Or if you could generate a custom "skin" for Siri, Gemini, or ChatGPT, anthropomorphizing these chatbots in a whole new way. This week, the internet moved one step closer to that reality.

On Monday, April 21, Character.AI revealed AvatarFX, a new AI video generation tool that will allow users to create realistic, long-form video from 2D images, the company said in a blog post. Character.AI users can apply for early access to AvatarFX now. The product is in private beta for now, with an exact launch date yet to be announced.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Character.AI has more than 10 million "AI characters" that users can chat and roleplay with in real-time. Now, with AvatarFX, users can "make images come to life — and speak, sing, and emote — all with the click of a button." Character.AI promises that users will even be able to generate long-form videos with these characters. For now, users can't interact with their creations in real-time, but it's not hard to imagine that becoming a standard feature for AI chatbots in the very near future.

Do you want your AI chatbot to be a beautiful man or woman? A sci-fi-style robot companion? A vaguely erotic centaur?

A collection of AvatarFX-generated videos on the Character.ai website. Credit: Character.ai

Character.AI is already showing off the capabilities of its new tool, including some videos that will make AI critics very depressed. Not only do the sample videos include a controversial Studio Ghibli-style video podcast, but also a video based on Al Pacino in Scarface and a popular portrait of Albert Einstein.

To prevent deepfakes, the company has put several safety measures in place, including a watermark that will be applied to all videos. In the blog post announcing the new tool, the company outlined a "one-strike policy" for users who violate the terms of service, which "prohibit impersonation, bullying, deepfakes, and use of protected IP without permission."

Interested users can head to the AI chat site to join the waitlist for the AvatarFX beta.

WhatsApp just launched a new level of privacy: Advanced Chat Privacy.

WhatsApp has always had end-to-end encryption, a feature on many messaging apps, including Signal and Facebook Messenger, that ensures your message can't be read while it's being sent. WhatsApp also has other privacy features, like disappearing messages and chat locks. But on Wednesday, the app launched "Advanced Chat Privacy."

SEE ALSO: WhatsApp video calls now have backgrounds and filters

"Advanced Chat Privacy," available in one-on-one chats and group chats, blocks users from exporting chats, auto-downloading media, and using messages for AI features.

"WhatsApp groups are increasingly an extension of our real-world networks, some of which are far closer than others," the Meta-owned app said in its blog post about the feature. "We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature, like talking about health challenges in a support group or organizing your community about something important to you."

How to use WhatsApp's Advanced Chat Privacy

To use the feature, make sure your app is updated, tap the chat name, and then tap "Advanced Chat Privacy."

Of course, it's important to remember that even the most advanced privacy measures can't help you if you add a high-level journalist to your text conversation and start talking about imminent military plans.
