Technology

The AI boom has put chatbots at work, AI-generated videos in our feeds, and data centers on the agenda at town halls. Nvidia, a company that got its start making computer games look better, now supplies the chips that power much of the AI industry. That made Nvidia one of the world's most valuable companies and its chips some of the most sought-after technology in the world.

And on Thursday, Nov. 12, the company announced that it had lost the only CEO it had ever had.

The story goes back more than a year and reads a little like an HBO drama, with alleged spies, extramarital affairs, and corporate intrigue. Let's break down the timeline of the Jensen Huang resignation based on what came to light and when.

Last year, the New York Times reported that U.S. officials were looking into whether Nvidia chips meant for data centers in Southeast Asia had ended up in China.

The chips in question had been bought by Megaspeed, a Singapore company that rented out computing power. U.S. export rules limit China's access to some of Nvidia’s most advanced AI hardware, to protect Nvidia's trade secrets and the United States' competitive edge over China in the AI arms race. Singapore police were also looking into whether Megaspeed had broken local laws, but at the time, Nvidia said it had no reason to believe the chips had been sent elsewhere.

The Times' report referred to Megaspeed's "mystery C.E.O." and noted U.S. officials were looking into the company's ties to China.

Oct. 29, 2026 — The Times links Huang to a suspected Chinese intelligence asset

Things were quiet for a while; until two weeks ago, when the Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials suspected Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive, of gathering information for Beijing. Officials had learned that Alice Huang had developed a close personal relationship with Jensen Huang. (Yes, the two share a surname. No, they are not related.)

Nvidia initially characterized their interactions as routine meetings with a customer: "Jensen’s interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected," an Nvidia spokesperson told TechCrunch in an email on Oct. 29, adding that "meetings with customers are part of a C.E.O.’s job."

The Times also reported that intelligence officials had briefed President Donald Trump about the relationship roughly a year earlier. By then, Jensen Huang had already spent months pressing the Trump administration to let Nvidia sell more advanced AI chips to China.

Nov. 5 — Congress seeks a briefing as reports point to a romantic relationship

Flash forward to Nov. 5, when the chairs of three House committees publicly asked Jensen Huang for a closed-door briefing. They wanted to know whether his ties to Alice Huang could have given Beijing access to sensitive U.S. technology or information, and what Nvidia was doing to guard against foreign espionage.

Nov. 6 — A bombshell report on Jensen Huang's affair

The next day, the New York Times reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had overseen the drafting of a classified memo this spring. It described U.S. intelligence suggesting that China's Ministry of State Security had recruited Alice Huang to target the Nvidia CEO. As the chairs of the House Foreign Affairs wrote, "Recent reports raise significant national security concerns regarding the PRC's access to sensitive U.S. technology and information." Meanwhile, the Financial Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials believed the relationship was romantic.

Nov. 8 — Huang acknowledges infidelity and Nvidia opens an investigation

On Sunday, Nov. 8, Nvidia made the rumors official. The company published an email Huang sent to employees. "I was unfaithful to my wife," he wrote. "There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry."

He did not name Alice Huang, though the New York Times reported that he'd privately told Nvidia’s board he had been intimate with her. Huang said he would cooperate with the investigation. A few hours later, Nvidia's board announced the investigation in a separate statement and said its independent directors would oversee it with outside counsel. The board said it had no reason at that point to believe national security or company secrets had been compromised and expressed confidence in Huang and his leadership team.

Nov. 9 — Trump backs Huang and an Nvidia shareholder sues

On Monday, Trump told reporters he'd asked Jensen Huang whether he knew about the spying allegations involving Alice Huang. "He said 'I had no idea that she was a spy' and I really believe him," Trump said. China's foreign ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, dismissed the accusation. "The 'Chinese spy' allegation is purely unsubstantiated and directed at smearing China," he exclaimed.

That same day, Nvidia shareholder Mark Kistenmacher filed a proposed class action alleging that the company and its CEO had misled investors about Huang's ties to the former Megaspeed executive.

Nov. 10 — Nvidia brings in outside lawyers

The next day, Nvidia's independent directors said they'd hired Joon H. Kim, a former acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, and his firm, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, to lead their investigation.

Nov. 11 — The Times reports another affair, this time with an Nvidia executive

The story continued to unravel Wednesday, as the New York Times reported that Huang also had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare and one of his direct reports (of which he has more than 60). The Wall Street Journal later reported that Nvidia was preparing to remove him, and Reuters reported that the board met that evening to discuss his future.

Nov. 12 — Nvidia announces Huang's resignation and names an interim CEO

On Thursday morning, Nvidia officially announced Huang's departure after 33 years as CEO and named longtime CFO Colette Kress interim CEO. An SEC filing released that morning said the board had accepted Huang's resignation as CEO, president, and director the previous evening, effective immediately. Kress will keep her finance role while the board considers internal and external candidates for the permanent job. Nvidia also named longtime director Harvey C. Jones its first board chair.

Also on Thursday, Singapore's home affairs ministry said Alice Huang had left the country in February and had been barred from re-entering following a local investigation involving possible offenses tied to server purchases and exports. The ministry said investigators found insufficient evidence to establish that she had committed an offense, and that its inquiry did not concern espionage. Megaspeed, for its part, said it had cooperated with U.S. inspections and hired a law firm to independently review its export compliance.

Nov. 17 — Nvidia to hold its first earnings call since Huang's exit

Nvidia is scheduled to release its quarterly results around 4:20 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 17, followed by an earnings call at 5 p.m. ET. It will be the company’s first earnings call since Jensen Huang resigned and Kress took over as interim CEO.

This is a developing story...

Amazon just dropped its best books of 2026 list. Earlier this year, the editors over at Amazon rounded up the best books of the year so far, but now that the year is nearly wrapped, the definitive list is here.

"We saw people reach for sweeping family sagas, genre-bending fiction, gripping narrative nonfiction, and horror," says Amazon Editor Al Woodworth. The end-of-year list is packed with books across genres, and this year, the editors at Amazon even added two new best-of lists on horror and buzzworthy books.

Picking the top 20 books of the year is a big task. Woodworth says that Amazon Editors are reading thousands of books every year, then championing the titles they can't stop thinking about. "At the end of the year, we look back at everything we've read and debate which books belong on the final list. Every reader is different, so we recommend books from the widest possible selection," says Woodworth.

There are common themes across the top books of the year, including non-fiction that reads like fiction, stories of sacrificing for those they love, characters facing hard choices, and books the internet can't stop talking about.

But the best book of the year? Well, read on to find out which novel Woodworth and fellow Amazon Editors declared the best of the year.

Privacy-focused operating systems have a tricky job, as they need to protect users from online tracking but keep the tools that make that protection possible up to date. That’s a constant battle for Tails, the Linux distribution built around anonymous browsing and leaving as few traces as possible on the computer it runs on. The latest release continues that effort with an updated Tor Browser and a newer Linux kernel.

At one point in time, the Raspberry Pi was a go-to system for homelabbing and DIY hobby projects. I really wish that was still the case. These days, mini PCs reign supreme in many areas. However, the Raspberry Pi is still the best choice for these five reasons, and a mini PC doesn't even come close.

As AI makes its play for world domination, one dodgily rendered deepfake at a time, it’s good to know that tech companies are investing in the importance of being, y’know, actually human.

Among those tech companies are Whoop, the wearables and human performance brand, which is launching a social network called Whoop Humans. The pioneering health-and-fitness brand boasts that it’s the “most verifiably human social network”, which has been designed specifically to combat the proliferation of bots, generated AI content, and engagement bait clogging up legacy social media platforms.

Whoop Humans allows you to follow friends and family, and share fitness, health, and performance data. You can follow and support each other’s progress and better understand your own fitness and performance stats.

"In a world that's becoming increasingly artificial, we're building something deeply human,” said Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WHOOP. “This is the most verifiably human network ever launched. Every account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat. They have real goals, challenges, and achievements. That's what makes Whoop Humans different, and it’s a big area of investment for us.”

It’s certainly human-focused in a way that other social media platforms aren’t. Physiological data comes directly from Whoop wearable devices, such as the Whoop 5.0, based on real-world experience and human performance. Shareable stats include sleep, recovery, and strain. You can also share activities and achievements, though you choose exactly what you want friends and family to see. Not that you need to worry about sharing details — Whoop has robust privacy protections. You can explore other people’s performance insights and drop reactions and comments to give them a motivational boost.

Indeed, the point isn’t just to track and enhance your own performance but to keep track of when friends and family need a pick-me-up. Even if they don’t say, the stats speak for themselves. "Sometimes people don't tell you when they're not feeling their best,” says Whoop member Mike Bublitz. “If I see a friend's Recovery is low, I can check in and say, 'Hey, it's okay to take it easy today.' That's what I like about Whoop Humans. It gives us another way to look out for each other.

Whoop Humans is available to Whoop members from Nov. 12. You just need to have a heartbeat to join.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has just resigned from the company he co-founded amid reports of two alleged affairs, including one with a woman that U.S. intelligence believes is a Chinese spy, according to a bombshell New York Times report.

Thanks to the AI boom, Nvidia has become one of the most valuable companies in the world. And, as a result, Huang had seemingly become the de facto head of the AI industry. Huang's resignation will not only send reverberations through the tech world, but the broader global economy as well.

As one could assume, Wall Street didn't take the news well.

As of Thursday morning, Nvidia stock had plunged on the news of the affairs and rumors about a possible resignation from Huang. So far, the stock has struggled to rebound after Nvidia's board of directors announced the official CEO transition.

Nvidia stock hit as low as $152 per share when the stock market opened. It's currently trading around $162 per share as of publication time, showing some recovery now that the resignation is official.

Nvidia's Wall Street woes began on Nov. 8 when Jensen Huang confirmed the reports that he had been having an affair. Outlets including the New York Times and Financial Times identified the woman involved as Alice Huang (no relation), an executive at a Singapore-based company, Megaspeed. U.S. intelligence strongly believes that Huang has been working with China's top intelligence agency as a spy, according to the Times.

Since then, Nvidia has lost more than $450 billion in market value. The stock has dropped by more than 27 percent over the past five days of trading.

Nvidia stock is currently trading at its lowest price in over a year. How much lower will the stock go? That's unclear. 

As previously mentioned, the stock is up a bit as of publication. With Nvidia announcing a new interim CEO in Colette Kress, Nvidia stock price could stabilize. Or the current price-per-share rebound could be a temporary bump from traders buying the dip.

Google's Gemini-powered smart glasses are here.

On Thursday morning, Google lifted the veil off the specs it announced in collaboration with Samsung over the summer. The glasses, which come in several different designs and colors courtesy of both Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, are part of a collection dubbed "Intelligent Eyewear." Perhaps most importantly, we now have price points for these glasses: Gentle Monster's start at $449, while Warby Parker's start at $395.

These glasses are available for preorder now, and will ship on Dec. 10.

Before we get into the particulars of what you can expect from the different manufacturers, all of these glasses have Gemini built in, which works with open-ear speakers that can also be used to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks. They can also pair with both Android and iOS. Naturally, there's also a 12MP camera for shooting videos and taking photos, as well as showing Gemini what the user is seeing.

Google also included an on/off switch that allegedly just turns them into normal glasses when switched to off. A small LED will also alert anyone nearby that you're shooting or recording with the camera, and those functions will not work if the LED is covered. Google is rating the battery for nine hours on a charge, but the glasses also come with charging cases to give them more juice when not in use.

On the Warby Parker side of things, you can choose from the Wren, Reid, and Alden styles, with optical and sun variants. You also get three color choices: jet black, saddle, and pine.

Meanwhile, Gentle Monster is offering six different frames in colors like pink, gray, yellow, and dark red. You can also get clear, blue, brown, or tinted lenses if you want.

Nvidia has spent the last few years becoming one of the most powerful companies in the technology industry. And the man who built it, Jensen Huang, the leather-jacketed face of the AI boom, has just announced his resignation as President, CEO, and board member with immediate effect after 33 years at the helm. Nvidia is handing the keys to its CFO, Colette Kress, in the interim. This has triggered one of the biggest leadership changes in the semiconductor industry.

Batteries have a finite lifespan, even rechargeable ones. Unlike dry-cell batteries, though, you can't just chuck your old power bank in the garbage bin. Most power banks are made of lithium-ion. They have a liquid electrolyte, which makes them highly flammable from the get-go, so tossing them in a bin could potentially cause a fire. There are several safe ways to dispose of an old power bank that you should follow.

Walmart's first Black Friday event just kicked off, and with it comes one of the best smartwatch deals of the holiday season (so far).

Last year's Apple Watch Series 11 is now $100 off at Walmart. Shoppers can snag a GPS-only base model with a jet black aluminum case and a black Sport Band for only $299, or 25% off. If you need one with a cellular connection, it'll cost you $399 (normally $499 — a 20% savings), and you can take your pick from four case and band combinations:

• Jet black aluminum case with black Sport Band

• Rose gold aluminum case with light blush Sport Band

• Silver aluminum case with purple fog Sport Band

• Space gray aluminum case with black Sport Band

The Series 11 earned a Mashable Choice Award for its big battery life upgrade. Compared to the Series 10 from 2024, it lasts up to six hours longer for a total of 24 hours. The brand-new Apple Watch Series 12 has the same battery life, though it charges a bit faster.

The Series 11 doesn't have the same upgraded optical and electrical sensors as the Series 12, and its processor is a generation behind. So, it doesn't support consistent heart rate readings or features like Readiness and Siri Recap. But their designs and core feature sets (via watchOS 27) are identical; the Series 11 offers hypertension notifications, a Sleep Score metric, and Workout Buddy support. It remains a good option for folks who aren't interested in the most cutting-edge health tracking tools — and those who are a little sketched out by Audio Intelligence.

TL;DR: Nintendo has announced plans for Black Friday in 2026: From Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be available for $499.99 ($50 off).

Have you been holding off on upgrading your handheld setup after Nintendo’s painful September hardware price hikes? You're not alone. Times are tough right now in the world of tech, but Black Friday is finally giving you a clean window to strike back.

Nintendo has officially revealed its 2026 Black Friday lineup, locking in bundle discounts and $20 price cuts across flagship games. The headline deal is undoubtedly the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle. You can pick up this popular bundle for $499.99 from Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, saving you $50 on list price.

Early digital game deals kick off on Nintendo starting Nov. 19, followed by physical game discounts at major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop from Nov. 22-29.

Should you wait for Black Friday to shop?

The short answer is yes.

After raising the standalone Switch 2 base price to $499.99 in September, Nintendo’s Black Friday promotion effectively gives you a launch title and online access for free. Buying the console, Mario Kart World ($79.99 value), and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership separately would easily push your cart close to $600. That makes this $499.99 bundle deal pretty appealing.

Nintendo is also knocking $20 off some of the year’s biggest first-party physical releases, including Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (both Switch 2 and original Switch editions), and Kirby Air Riders.

Patience, gamers. The time to shop is coming.

Winter is coming, and that means it's time to start preparing. Gear up for storms, gather some firewood, and get those winter tools ready. And if you don't have any winter tools, you'll be glad to hear that Ryobi has all sorts of practical tools you'll love when the temperatures plummet.

Ray Gunn is the latest film from The Incredibles and Ratatouille director Brad Bird, who has been working on the story since the '90s, even before the release of his debut feature, The Iron Giant. Now, his passion project comes to life, with a star-studded cast to boot.

Sam Rockwell voices Ray Gunn, the last private eye in the sprawling city of Metropia. He and his partner, alien Eyera (voiced by Tom Waits), are strapped for cash and desperate for a new mystery to solve. They get more than they bargained for in their next case: a murder with ties to megastar Venus Nova (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).

Check out the full trailer above for a closer look at the dazzling skyscrapers of Metropia, as well as airborne chase sequences, alien smackdowns, and more.

Ray Gunn premieres in select theaters Dec. 4, and hits Netflix Dec. 18.
