Originally recorded as a movie soundtrack, the funk bands sixth album attained a life of its own thanks to its pioneering soul sound, overarching optimism, and a savvy early release.

Europe turns the screws Apple and Google in the hot seat as European regulators ignore Trump warnings Apple will have to open iOS up more, and Google could face steep fines.

In a series of press releases today, the European Union's executive arm has announced actions against both Apple and Google. Regulators have announced that Apple will be required to open up support for non-Apple accessories on the iPhone, but it may be too late for Google to make changes. The commission says the search giant has violated the Digital Markets Act, which could lead to a hefty fine.Since returning to power, Donald Trump has railed against European regulations that target US tech firms. In spite of rising tensions and tough talk, the European Commission seems unfazed and is continuing to follow its more stringent laws, like the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This landmark piece of EU legislation aims to make the digital economy more fair. Upon coming into force last year, the act labeled certain large tech companies, including Apple and Google, as "gatekeepers" that are subject to additional scrutiny.Europe's more aggressive regulation of Big Tech is why iPhone users on the continent can install apps from third-party app marketswhile the rest of us are stuck with the Apple App Store. As for Google, the European Commission has paid special attention to search, Android, and Chrome, all of which dominate their respective markets.Apple's mobile platform plays second fiddle to Android in Europe, but it's large enough to make the company subject to the DMA. The EU has now decreed that Apple is not doing enough to support interoperability on its platform. As a result, it will be required to make several notable changes. Apple will have to provide other companies and developers with improved access to iOS for devices like smartwatches, headphones, and TVs. This could include integration with notifications, faster data transfers, and streamlined setup.The commission is also forcing Apple to release additional technical documentation, communication, and notifications for upcoming features for third parties. The EU believes this change will encourage more companies to build products that integrate with the iPhone, giving everyone more options aside from Apple's.Regulators say both sets of measures are the result of a public comment period that began late last year. We've asked Apple for comment on this development but have not heard back as of publication time. Apple is required to make these changes, and failing to do so could lead to fines. However, Google is already there.Google could face billions in finesGoogle made numerous changes to its sprawling network of online services and products in advance of the DMA's implementation. Yet, the European Commission says the company hasn't done enough. The latest ruling says that Google is still favoring its own products and services to an impermissible degree. The commission also claims Google has not done enough to steer users to cheaper offers outside of the Google Play platform.When you search for anything on the Internet, there's a fair chance something that Google owns will appear in the results. The EU's investigation reportedly revealed Google products in shopping, hotel booking, transport, finance, and sports have been given preferential treatment at the expense of competitors. These items often appear at the top of search results or in dedicated spaces on the page in violation of the DMA, the commission says.The EU also takes issue with how Google is handling developers in Google Play. Under the DMA, Google is required to allow app makers to point users to other sources of their content. However, regulators have found that Google improperly blocks developers from doing this. They also allege that Google's fees on apps are too high under EU law.This is just a preliminary findingGoogle still has the chance to investigate and challenge the commission's findings. And you can bet it will. Google says today's action "will hurt European businesses and consumers, hinder innovation, weaken security, and degrade product quality." It is Google's view that the content it includes in search can net consumers greater savings and increase traffic to European businesses.As for Google Play, Google claims its policies help reduce the spread of malware, pointing out that links outside its ecosystem lose the benefits of its robust security measures. It also takes issue with the EU's assessment of the fees it charges. The company says it cannot continue investing in Android and Google Play without what it calls "reasonable fees."Nothing is set in stone yet, but if Google is found to be violating the DMA, it could be hit with a fine of up to 10 percent of its global revenue. This amount is doubled for repeat violations. Any final amount is difficult to predict now, but 10 percent of Google's 2024 revenue would be about $35 billion. Even for Google, this would be a big hit to the bottom lineits 2024 profit amounted to just over $100 billion.Ryan WhitwamSenior Technology ReporterRyan WhitwamSenior Technology Reporter Ryan Whitwam is a senior technology reporter at Ars Technica, covering the ways Google, AI, and mobile technology continue to change the world.

Santiago Story textSizeSmallStandardLargeWidth *StandardWideLinksStandardOrange* Subscribers only Learn moreElon Musk and President Trump are fighting a court order to turn over information about DOGE, the US Department of Government Efficiency.US District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled last week that New Mexico and 13 other states suing Musk and the federal government can serve their written discovery requests on Musk, the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service, and US DOGE Temporary Organization. The states' lawsuit alleges violations of the US Constitution's appointments clause and conduct in excess of statutory authority."Plaintiffs' requests, as amended by the court, are reasonable and narrowly tailored to their request for injunctive relief," and "expedited discovery is reasonable and necessary to evaluate Plaintiffs' request for injunctive relief," Chutkan, a judge at US District Court for the District of Columbia, wrote in a memorandum opinion.Plaintiffs said they aren't seeking information from Trump himself and did not ask for depositions of either Trump or Musk. But in a challenge to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, government attorneys said the discovery is "intrusive" and contrary to "separation-of-powers principles and the 'high respect' that courts must afford the President in the conduct of his constitutional duties.""The district court's order permits plaintiffs to take sweeping and intrusive discovery into the operations of the Office of the President, requiring the Chief Executive to produce information detailing both the substance of the advice provided by his closest advisors and the process through which that advice was formulated and communicated to the President and other Executive Branch officials," said an emergency motion for a stay of the ruling.Filing: Musks advice to Trump should be secretThere is also a petition to quash the District Court order filed yesterday by Musk, Trump, and DOGE. It said:The district court's broadly phrased and premature discovery order raises grievous separation-of-powers concerns. It requires the government to produce information regarding the activities of the US DOGE Service (USDS)an organization within the Executive Office of the Presidentand close presidential advisor Elon Musk. The order requires the White House to provide detailed information regarding the substance of the advice USDS and Mr. Musk have provided and the process through which that advice has been formulated and communicated within the Executive Branch. This unusual and highly invasive order threatens "the Executive's interests in maintaining the autonomy of its office and safeguarding the confidentiality of its communications" and fails to accord the "high respect that is owed to the office of the Chief Executive" in the conduct of litigation.Discovery should be a last resort and not conducted "at the very outset of the case, before any motion for a preliminary injunction and before resolving the government's motion to dismiss, which could obviate the need for discovery altogether or substantially narrow it," the petition said.The petition argues that discovery is unnecessary to assess the plaintiff states' claims. "Plaintiffs allege a violation of the Appointments Clause and USDS's statutory authority on the theory that USDS and Mr. Musk are directing decision-making by agency officeholders," it said. "Those claims present pure questions of law that can be resolvedand rejectedon the basis of plaintiffs' complaint. In particular, precedent establishes that the Appointments Clause turns on proper appointment of officeholders; it is not concerned with the de facto influence over those who hold office."States: Discovery can confirm Musks role at DOGEThe states' lawsuit alleged that "President Trump has delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress and without meaningful supervision of his activities. As a result, he has transformed a minor position that was formerly responsible for managing government websites into a designated agent of chaos without limitation and in violation of the separation of powers."States argued that discovery "may confirm what investigative reporting has already indicated: Defendants Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency ('DOGE') are directing actions within federal agencies that have profoundly harmed the States and will continue to harm them."Amy Gleason, the person the White House claims is running DOGE instead of Musk, has reportedly been working simultaneously at the Department of Health and Human Services since last month."Defendants assert that Mr. Musk is merely an advisor to the President, with no authority to direct agency action and no role at DOGE," the states' filing said. "The public record refutes that implausible assertion. But only Defendants possess the documents and information that Plaintiffs need to confirm public reporting and identify which agencies Defendants will target next so Plaintiffs can seek preliminary relief and mitigate further harm.""Notably, Plaintiffs seek no emails, text messages, or other electronic communications at this stage, meaning Defendants will not need to sort through such exchanges for relevance or possible privilege," the states said. "The documents that Plaintiffs do seekplanning, implementation, and organizational documentsare readily available to Defendants and do not implicate the same privilege concerns."Discovery related to DOGE and Musks conductChutkan wrote that the plaintiffs' "document requests and interrogatories generally concern DOGE's and Musk's conduct in four areas: (1) eliminating or reducing the size of federal agencies; (2) terminating or placing federal employees on leave; (3) cancelling, freezing, or pausing federal contracts, grants, or other federal funding; and (4) obtaining access, using, or making changes to federal databases or data management systems."These requests are reasonable because "evidence that Defendants eliminated agencies that work with Plaintiffs, terminated employees responsible for managing programs with Plaintiffs, or cancelled contracts with Plaintiffs is relevant to whether Defendants exceeded their statutory and constitutional authority," she wrote.Chutkan decided that "expedited discovery is in the best interest of all parties," but imposed some limits. She did not allow two depositions of DOGE personnel that states requested "to obtain targeted testimony on the documents produced and the responses to the written discovery." Plaintiffs asked for a seven-day deadline, but Chutkan ruled that defendants will have 21 days to produce requested information."Plaintiffs' discovery requests, as amended by the court, are narrowly tailored to support their forthcoming motion for a preliminary injunction," she wrote. "The burden to Defendants is minimized by the narrow time period for responsive materials [January 20, 2025 to the present], the exclusion of electronic communications, explicitly exempting President Trump from the requests, extending Defendants' time to respond, and denying Plaintiffs' request to notice depositions.""If Defendants fail to adequately respond to Plaintiffs' written discovery, Plaintiffs may renew their requests for depositions," the judge's order noted.The discovery deadline is April 2. The US government motion for an emergency stay asked the appeals court to rule by March 26 "to provide the government with time to seek relief from the Supreme Court, if necessary." The US government also asked for the discovery deadline to be delayed "until 21 days after the Court decides the government's stay motion, so that the Executive Branch will not have to incur the burden of preparing responses to the plaintiffs' overbroad and improper discovery requests."Jon BrodkinSenior IT ReporterJon BrodkinSenior IT Reporter Jon is a Senior IT Reporter for Ars Technica.

Health information on TikTok can be misleadingAlexPhotoStock / AlamyMore than half the claims made in popular TikTok videos about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) dont align with clinical guidelines which could lead to some people incorrectly self-diagnosing with ADHD.ADHD affects around 1 per cent of people worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease study. There is an active debate about whether ADHD has been underdiagnosed; some psychologists say the real proportion of people with it could be higher. AdvertisementTo understand social medias influence on perceptions of ADHD, Vasileia Karasavva at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, and her colleagues looked at the 100 most-viewed videos with the hashtag #ADHD on TikTok on 10 January 2023. The videos collectively had nearly 496 million views and an average of 984,000 likes.The average video contained three claims about ADHD. The researchers presented each claim to two psychologists, who were asked whether they accurately reflected a symptom of ADHD from the DSM-5, a popular textbook used to diagnose mental disorders. Only 48.7 per cent of the claims made met that requirement. More than two-thirds of the videos attributed foibles or purported issues to ADHD that the psychologists said reflected normal human experience.We had the two experts view the top 100 most popular videos, and they found that they didnt really match the empirical literature, says Karasavva. We are like, OK, this is a problem.Get the most essential health and fitness news in your inbox every Saturday.Sign up to newsletterThe researchers asked the psychologists to rate the videos on a scale of 0 to 5. Then they asked 843 UBC students to watch the videos rated by the psychologists as the five best and five worst to explain ADHD, and then rate them. The psychologists scored the more clinically accurate videos an average of 3.6, while the students rated them 2.8. For the least-accurate videos, the students gave them an average score of 2.3, compared with 1.1 from the psychologists.The students were also asked questions about whether they would recommend the videos, and about their perceptions of the prevalence of ADHD in society. The amount of time that you watched ADHD-related content on TikTok increased how likely you would be to recommend the videos, and identify them as helpful and accurate, says Karasavva.One wonders how general the results are to all health content on TikTok or across the internet, says David Ellis at the University of Bath, UK. We live in a world where we know so much about health, yet the online world is still awash with misinformation. TikTok is just reflecting that reality back to us.Ellis says that medical misinformation is likely to be even higher when considering mental health issues because they are diagnosed based on observations rather than more objective tests.But banning ADHD videos on TikTok is not helpful even if they are misinformative, says Karasavva. Perhaps more experts should put out more videos, or perhaps it could also be just individual users taking it upon themselves to be a little more discerning and critical of the content they consume, she says.TikTok declined to comment on the specifics of the research but told New Scientist that it takes action against medical misinformation and that anyone looking for advice on or diagnosis of neurological conditions should contact a medical professional.Journal reference:PLOS One DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0319335Topics:

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said inflation is unlikely to make further progress this year due in part to Trump's tariffs.He added that the Fed's inflation forecast is rising primarily due to uncertainty with Trump's policies.Powell's comments followed the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday.The head of the nation's central bank said President Donald Trump's trade policies are set to delay further progress on bringing inflation down.After the Federal Open Market Committee announced on Wednesday that it is holding interest rates steady for the second time this year, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told reporters during a press conference that Trump's tariff plans present significant uncertainty for the economy going forward.When asked about the FOMC's economic projections for the rest of the year which showed higher inflation than the previous forecast in December Powell said that "a good part of it is coming from tariffs.""I do think with the arrival of the tariff inflation, further progress may be delayed," Powell said. He added that the FOMC's Summary of Economic Projections "doesn't really show further downward progress on inflation this year, and that's really due to the tariffs coming in."The latest consumer price index data found that inflation increased 2.8% year-over-year in February, inching toward the Fed's 2% inflation target.Since taking office, Trump has proposed and implemented a range of tariff policies. He most recently put a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports into effect, and he's delayed other tariff announcements on goods from key trading partners, including Canada and Mexico.Trump has previously acknowledged that Americans would feel "some pain" as a result of his trade policies but has overall maintained that his plans would benefit Americans in the long run. Powell said during his press conference that tariffs "tend to bring growth down, they tend to bring inflation up."The medianPowell acknowledged the poor consumer sentiment among Americans, particularly regarding high grocery prices, saying that it "probably has to do with turmoil at the beginning of an administration that's making big changes in policy."

I moved from the US to Kosovo with my husband after years of fantasizing about living abroad.I love Eastern Europe's sense of community and culture.But I eventually realized the country I left behind has its own beauty, too, in its diversity.Three years ago, I boarded a plane and flew across the Atlantic Ocean, taking all my worldly goods in only three suitcases. I had sold or given away everything else.I had decided to move to Europe with my new husband. We settled down in Kosovo, where he was born and raised. But that meant I had to leave my birthplace, the US. I was nervous but excited.I had always dreamed of leaving the US and seeing the rest of the world. Everywhere else seemed so fascinating. But it took me leaving the US and settling in Eastern Europe to see the beauty of my home country.Moving far away was a lifelong dreamSince I was young, I have wanted to travel outside America. I remember going for a walk in the small Wisconsin village where I grew up and fantasizing about being in France, England, or even India.I dreamed of other cultures: the bright lights of Paris, the vivid colors of a Turkish bazaar, and the strong smell of spices from a street food vendor in Thailand.I had never done anything to fulfill that dream. Life got in the way: I got married, and then I was widowed. I had a life full of responsibilities that seemed so hard to change.I also never knew where to go. The world is so big, and many exciting places exist. How does one choose?Thankfully, fate brought me the answer and the opportunityWhen I met my second husband, the choice was made for me. He was an immigrant from Kosovo who opened a whole new world.When we first met, he served me tea in tiny glass cups with little spoons. It was charming. I fell in love with him and his culture. When we visited his birthplace, I fell in love with it, too. I knew in my heart that I wanted to move there.People were shocked especially immigrants to the US that we knew from the region. They couldn't imagine going back.The pandemic pushed our departure date back by over a year, but I eventually left the US to start the life I always dreamed of abroad.I have since found the beauty in the country I left behindMy experience living outside the US has been eye-opening. In my experience in Kosovo, community is more important than individuality. Families are close-knit, with multi-generational households being the norm. It is unthinkable not to know your neighbor. The pace is also slower. Life is lived and not rushed through.When I first arrived in Kosovo, I wished the US would adopt some of these values. But over time, I started to see the US in a new light.I started to miss the US's diversity. I was born in Milwaukee, where every summer, there are dozens of festivals to celebrate the city's different communities. It was always my favorite part of summer.The longer I've lived in Eastern Europe, the more I've thought about the power of the US ideals: liberty, freedom, and inclusion. They make my home country special, and I hold onto them even though I'm still an ocean away.While I didn't experience a strong sense of community in the US, there's still a power to living alongside people who are nothing like you.While I dreamed of leaving the US for most of my life, it took my leaving my birthplace to really understand the beauty of it.

By Germain Lussier Published March 19, 2025 | Comments (0) | The Toxic Avenger is here and its first footage lives up to that title. Image: Legendary Its not quite a teaser trailer and its not quite safe for work, but the first footage from The Toxic Avenger is here and for those reasons, its also kind of perfect. This half-fake commercial, half-film footage clip definitely tells you little about the upcoming movie but sets a very specific tone and vibe that will probably let you know if its for you or not. Based on the 1984 film of the same name by Lloyd Kaufman and the team at Troma, The Toxic Avenger finally oozes its way into theaters on August 29. The marketing is slowly starting to ramp up and after images of Toxie himself were released, now we have this footage. Which, again, is NSFW. We saw The Toxic Avenger back in 2023 and, to our best recollection, the commercial footage at the start here is not in the movie. Everything else though, from the shooting onward, is in the movie. Dinklages character really does knock someones jaw off with his mop in this weird, hypersexualized fast food place. And from there, this scene gets even more disgusting, if you can believe it. Thats the good news. The better news is that while the 1984 Toxic Avenger was gross and offensive in ways that are even grosser and more offensive 40-plus years later, this one is not. Director Macon Blair and his team have captured those original sensibilities and made them more digestible. Its a Troma-influenced movie through and through, with all the titillation that implies. But it also handles it with an ounce of class. The tiniest amount.Game of Thrones legend Peter Dinklage stars as a man who is murdered after he asks his boss (Kevin Bacon) to pay for his mounting health coverage. Hes thrown into a vat of toxic waste, becomes the Toxic Avenger, and basically destroys everyone and everything in his path. Elijah Wood and Jacob Tremblay are among the co-stars. The film opens August 29 and were excited to see what other mayhem is released in the meantime. Want more io9 news?

By Thomas Maxwell Published March 19, 2025 | Comments (0) | Chinese authorities are delaying approval of a BYD factory in Mexico out of fears EV technology will leak into the US. Visual China Group China is frequently a target of criticism over allegations that it does not innovate but instead exfiltrates intellectual property developed abroad and wins by undercutting rivals on price. Now that the country has arguably leapfrogged America in electrical vehicle technology, it is starting to see the value in protecting domestic business in the free market. According to the Financial Times, authorities in China have delayed approval of a new BYD factory in Mexico over concerns that its electric vehicle technology will be lifted over the southern border. It is very much a Spiderman pointing at Spiderman type situation. From the article: Domestic automakers require approval from Chinas commerce ministry to manufacture overseas and it has yet to give approval, according to two people familiar with the matter. Authorities feared Mexico would gain unrestricted access to BYDs advanced technology and knowhow, they said, even possibly allowing US access to it. The commerce ministrys biggest concern is Mexicos proximity to the US, said one of the people. BYD has quickly trounced Tesla in the electric vehicle market, selling 3.4 million vehicles in 2024 compared to Teslas 1.7 million, and is continuing to grow at a rapid pace while Elon Musks company faces declining sales globally. The Chinese company, which started in 1995 supplying batteries to other electronics manufacturers, has released a range of affordable electric cars and this week announced new battery technology that can charge a vehicle in just five minutes. Its self-driving system, called Gods Eye, will also be made available for free across its entire lineup in the near future. Maybe that is technology Musk would like to get his hands on.While there exists substantial evidence that Chinese companies steal intellectual propertystories of Chinese engineers fleeing America with thumb drives of confidential documents aboundit is also true that China is masterful at executing when the one-party authoritarian nation decides to prioritize an industry. It is hard to argue with the success of BYD, and its cars have received strong reviews. The growth of BYD has been fueled by substantial government support in China, and a large domestic market to sell its cars into. BYD has been expanding globally, however, which is unusual. The company sold 40,000 vehicles in Mexico last year and has become a major player in Brazil and Europe as well. Factories could help China further develop soft power abroad similar to the way its Belt and Road project has seen the country support infrastructure development in other countries.The U.S. meanwhile is falling behind in the global automotive industry where it once dominated, as Musk supports cutbacks on EV subsidies just as the industry was really starting to take off. Some critics have speculated that Musks real intention is to hamper rivals like GM and Ford, who still have yet to reach profitability in their EV businesses while Tesla has managed to become profitable on a per-unit basis. Either way, China is taking a clear lead in EVs domestically and abroad while the United States focuses on more dubious priorities, namely crypto and AI. BYD has some challenges abroad, as the Financial Times noted. BYD has been subject to accusations of slave labor conditions in its international factories, for one. And President Trump is still able to flex American power by threatening countries including Mexico that allow Chinese players to grow. BYD committed in 2024 to building a factory in Mexico but is now less committed as the government there seeks to placate the Trump administration. Tariffs are not as much of an issue as BYD does not sell into the United States due to government restrictions here, though if you want to get an electric vehicle at a rock bottom price, you might be able to drive over the border and pick up a BYD Dolphin Mini Plus. The car has an estimated driving range of 252 miles and retails for $23,000essentially the exact type of vehicle many Tesla fans hoped it would make.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Matt Novak Published March 19, 2025 By Thomas Maxwell Published March 18, 2025 By Matthew Gault Published March 18, 2025 By AJ Dellinger Published March 17, 2025 Kate Yoder, Grist Published March 17, 2025 By Matt Novak Published March 14, 2025
