The US has imposed tariffs on China and other countries for various reasons. China thinks these tariffs break world trade rules, hurt the rights of many nations, and mess up the global trading system. China disagrees with what the US is doing.
The US ignores basic economic laws with these tariffs. It forgets that trade deals should benefit everyone. The US has gained a lot from world trade for many years. It uses tariffs as a weapon to pressure others, which shows that it cares only about itself.
The US talks about fairness but really wants to put America first. It tries to change trade rules to benefit itself. Its plan places US needs above what works for everyone. It wants to control world trade at the expense of other countries...
A recent study shows that people who stay healthy can live much longer. Research from the Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium found that adults who reach 50 without smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or weight problems delay heart disease for many years. These health benefits work the same for females and males. People making healthy changes after 50 can still add extra years to their lives. The American College of Cardiology heard these results, which also appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This huge research project looked at health records from over 2 million people living in 39 countries across six continents. Researchers used information from places like the Keneba Biobank at MRC Unit in The...

Nintendo just changed plans for Switch 2 pre-orders right after showing off the new console. The company told everyone that pre-orders would not start on April 9 because they need to check how tariffs might affect prices. They said the release date stays the same: June 5, 2025.

Canadian gamers first thought this delay would not affect them. They expected to pay CA$629.99 for the basic console or CA$699.99 for...
GIGABYTE put many unreleased AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti custom models on record with officials in South Korea. Someone named harukaze5719 found these early April filings and shared them on social media today.

Lightmatter just started selling a new kind of computer chip that uses light instead of electricity. Their latest processor puts six chips together in one 3D package, with each chip having special light-based cores that speed up AI tasks. Scientists wrote about it in Nature magazine, showing how it combines around 50 billion transistors with a million light parts, all connected through fast light links. Regular computer chips have hit walls because they can't keep getting smaller or faster like they used to. The light-based chip fixes these problems with something called adaptive block floating point format that controls light signals better.
This new processor can do 65.5 trillion math operations every second but only needs 78 watts...
