Penske Media Corporation (PMC) filed a federal court memorandum opposing Google’s motion to dismiss its antitrust lawsuit.

CISA will remain operational during the DHS shutdown that commenced at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, February 14, 2026, although at a reduced capacity. KEV is one area that remains. Although the Antideficiency Act prohibits federal agencies from spending money not appropriated by Congress, it doesn’t mean that staff cannot work – only that they cannot be paid and can only work in areas that are ‘excepted’ by the Act. Staff are basically furloughed. Ironically, the DHS ICE operations (the primary political cause of the shutdown) is not affected by the shutdown. Its funding comes not from Congress approval, but from…

You can run local AI inference on, more or less, any machine that you have access to. From a modestly-specced laptop to a high-end gaming rig, both are capable of running AI in some way, shape, or form. In fact, you can even run AI models on something as simple as your smartphone. But what about purpose-built machines for local artificial intelligence, instead? That’s where the Lenovo Thinkstation PGX comes in, packing the Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip and 128GB of unified memory. We’ll make one thing clear from the get-go: the Lenovo Thinkstation PGX isn’t faster than an individual…
