  • X launches Chat: encrypted DMs with end-to-end encryption, video calls, and disappearing messages
    November 17, 2025, 11:54 PM EST. X unveils Chat, an encrypted upgrade to its direct messages. The feature brings end-to-end encryption for messages and files, video calls, disappearing messages, and file sharing. Available now on iOS and the web with an Android release coming soon, it replaces the old DMs while allowing users to migrate existing messages. X warns that while content is protected, metadata (who and when) isn't encrypted, and there's no protection against man-in-the-middle attacks; insider access could expose conversations, a risk users will have to accept. Other privacy controls enable configurable disappearing timers, screenshot notifications or blockers, and the ability to edit or delete messages. Voice notes are planned for the future. The rollout follows a 2023 encrypted DMs feature that paused in May for improvements, now revived as Chat.

  • AMD Targets Nvidia's AI Lead With End-to-End Platform and Open Ecosystem Push
    November 17, 2025, 11:50 PM EST. AMD is pursuing an end-to-end AI platform to challenge Nvidia, emphasizing an open ecosystem-not a single-vendor stack-with silicon (MI300, MI450), high-speed interconnects, software tools, and turnkey rack-scale deployments. The MI300 has already boosted its data-center momentum, supporting a forecast for greater than 60% CAGR in data-center revenue to 2030, rising from about $16B today toward ~$100B with products like the MI450 and the Helios system. A critical hinge is closing the ROCm software gap to match Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem in reliability and breadth. Partnerships with Meta, Oracle, and OpenAI signal real-world adoption and will feed ROCm improvements. If targets are realized, AMD would see gross margins around 57% and EPS > $20 by 2030.
  • X Chat arrives on iPhone with E2EE, video calls and more
    November 17, 2025, 11:48 PM EST. X Chat is rolling out on iPhone and the web (with Android to follow) and finally brings end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to private messages. The new chats encrypt messages end-to-end, unlike the old DMs, which were encrypted but not E2EE. Features include voice and video calling, file sharing, and the ability to edit or delete messages. Users can choose to be notified of screenshot attempts or block them entirely. Note that while group messages and media are now encrypted, associated metadata (like recipient information) isn't. The rollout faced delays in applying E2EE to group chats, and X warns that a malicious insider could still access an encrypted chat. X markets the update as privacy-focused, with no ads and no tracking.
