Car Bandits Rampage Kenya Roads as DCI Strikes
Kenya faces a sharp rise in car thefts this year, causing major money problems for car owners and hurting the economy through more insurance claims and bad loans. Thieves steal cars from parking areas, misuse rental services, and carry out violent carjackings. The DCI chief, Mohamed Amin, said their research team started a special operation to break up theft rings in eleven high-risk counties. Police teams caught 28 suspects and found 22 stolen cars. Many had already been sold to buyers who knew nothing about their stolen status or had moved across borders to Uganda and Tanzania. All caught suspects have gone to court on theft and fraud charges. The DCI asks people to put in good anti-theft tools, park safely, and check papers when...
SMIC Drops 7B On Chips While Wallets Stay Empty
China chip maker SMIC plans to spend $7 billion on new equipment this year. The company will keep all profits instead of sharing money with investors.

SMIC needs money because Chinese companies want more chips after the US rules stopped Taiwan from selling to Huawei. The finance leader said they must build more factories and gain market share. Car companies ordered more chips lately, showing better business conditions. SMIC worries about new tariffs that might change prices or customer behavior. The company cannot predict what will happen after summer, especially from August through December.

Last year, it sued Yuzu, a program that lets people play Switch games on computers with better graphics and changes. In October, it shut down another similar program called Ryujinx. Nintendo takes a stronger stance with these new warnings about...

Apple Foldable iPhone Rumor Has Fans Flipping Out
Apple is searching for parts makers for its foldable iPhone, which is set to arrive in late 2026. Samsung might become the main screen supplier because of its experience with folding devices. The Korean company plans to use new methods to make screens just for Apple. These screens will carry Apple brand marks but come from Samsung factories. Samsung found a way to put touch sensors right into the screen itself. This makes the panel almost 20 percent thinner than what Samsung uses in their Z Fold phones.

They can earn more money selling these special screens to Apple...
