  • Fortune: AI race intensifies as energy subsidies and cloud deals reshape the data-center battleground
    November 4, 2025, 4:54 AM EST. China has stepped up energy subsidies for its largest data centers to bolster its AI race, potentially cutting electricity bills by up to half and helping homegrown chips from Huawei and Cambricon compete with Nvidia. Data centers using foreign chips aren't eligible for the discounts. The US is countering with state tax breaks to lure new data centers and a push to preserve clean energy incentives. In cloud news, OpenAI and AWS struck a $38 billion seven-year deal to tap AWS capacity for AI training and ChatGPT processing, underscoring AWS's central role as it competes with Microsoft and Google. Palantir posted record results, while Anthropic expands with a multibillion-dollar cloud campus.
  • Satellites Capture Iran's Shadow Fleet Transferring Oil in the South China Sea
    November 4, 2025, 4:52 AM EST. New satellite imagery shows at least five tankers conducting ship-to-ship transfers off Malaysia's coast in the South China Sea, with oil moving from Iran to China. OSINT analysts say most shipments involve Iran-origin crude headed toward Chinese refiners. The finding comes as the U.S. tightens sanctions on Iran's covert oil network, including OFAC-targeted shadow-fleet vessels and related facilities. Beijing has leaned on Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan crude routed outside Western shipping and insurance routes. The report highlights a broader push by Washington to curb sanctioned crude, while Iran denies wrongdoing and Malaysia warns that offshore transshipment remains hard to curb due to limited maritime resources.
  • Researchers uncover security gap in satellite communications
    November 4, 2025, 4:50 AM EST. Researchers studying satellite communications accidentally intercepted phone calls, texts, and other sensitive data, using only a roof-mounted satellite dish. The incident reveals a notable security gap in space-based links and highlights how easily unencrypted or poorly protected traffic can be exposed. The team demonstrated that with modest equipment, sensitive communications could be intercepted, prompting calls for stronger encryption, robust authentication, and improved satellite-link security. Analysts warn telecom operators and researchers to reassess privacy protections and the risk models for satellite networks as space-based communications play an increasingly central role.
  • DJI Mini 5 Pro review: a powerful upgrade that barely stays under 250 g
    November 4, 2025, 4:32 AM EST. DJI's Mini 5 Pro is a meaningful upgrade over the Mini 4 Pro, moving from a 1/1.3 sensor to a 1-inch CMOS sensor with 50 MP stills and improved low-light and dynamic range. It adds new obstacle-sensing hardware including front-facing LiDAR, plus upgraded motors and aerodynamics for better wind resistance. Video highlights include 4K/120 fps, FHD up to 240 fps, and a 225° gimbal roll for true vertical shooting and the new Med-Tele crop mode. Weight debates center on its official 249.9 g claim vs regulatory limits, with EU tolerances of ±3%. Availability and pricing vary: UK from £689 (base) and Fly More around £979; Europe ~€799 base; AU$1,119 base; US launch timing unclear. Is it worth upgrading or waiting for Mini 4 Pro deals? Hobbyists' best choice depends on weight rules and budget.
  • AWS and OpenAI Sign $38 Billion Infrastructure Deal to Power AI Workloads
    November 4, 2025, 4:06 AM EST. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenAI have signed a multi-year, $38 billion deal to underpin OpenAI's AI workloads with AWS infrastructure. The pact, set for seven years with potential expansion into 2027, gives OpenAI access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs and scalable CPU capacity, enabling both ChatGPT inference and future model training. AWS will deploy Nvidia GB200 and GB300 GPUs via EC2 UltraServers on a unified network designed for low-latency cross-system communication. The collaboration builds on OpenAI's models on Amazon Bedrock and will see target capacity in place before end-2026. Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, says the partnership strengthens the compute ecosystem powering the next era of AI. Matt Garman, AWS CEO, emphasizes AWS's best-in-class infrastructure as a backbone for OpenAI's AI ambitions.
