India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) just pulled off something big: three successful back-to-back flight tests of interceptor missiles designed to counter long-range ballistic threats. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh made the announcement on Friday, calling it a major step that’s put India in a pretty exclusive club—only a handful of countries can say they have proven long-range ballistic missile defence (BMD) capability. These landmark tests happened on June 10 and 11, government and DRDO sources confirmed. As if that wasn’t enough, DRDO also carried out its first-ever flight test of a medium-range anti-ship missile system during the same window.…

SpaceX just locked in a big deal with Google, agreeing to provide huge AI computing power—about $920 million every month—from October 2026 through June 2029. Reuters says the contract includes around 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, plus all the CPUs, memory, and other components needed for heavy AI work. But SpaceX isn’t dumping all those GPUs on Google’s doorstep right away. They’re rolling them out in phases. Google gets a break on the monthly payments until SpaceX sets up more server racks, and that buffer lasts until the end of September 2027. If SpaceX can’t hit the 110,000-GPU mark by then (with…

An Indian Air Force AN-32 transport aircraft crashed and caught fire Saturday morning at the Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam, according to the service. Early reports say the aircraft went down inside the base while landing and burst into flames on impact. Emergency crews rushed over right away to put out the fire and secure the area. The Air Force has started an investigation and says it’ll share more details once they have a clearer picture. Right now, there’s no official word on how many people were on board, or if there were any casualties or injuries. Authorities were…

The 2026 FIFA World Cup got underway on Thursday, with Mexico beating South Africa 2-0 in Mexico City. But while the action heated up on the pitch, millions of fans across three continents missed the opening ceremony and the first match thanks to major streaming failures on the platforms that held exclusive broadcast rights. In Mexico, the issues started just before the opening ceremony. Vix Premium, TelevisaUnivision’s streaming service and the only place in Mexico to watch every World Cup match, crashed right before things kicked off. People trying to log in hit error messages, and even those who’d paid…

The Trump administration just handed down a big directive to AI company Anthropic: block all foreign nationals from using its cutting-edge models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The official reason? National security. But there’s a catch—Anthropic says it can’t separate out users based on nationality without turning the models off for everyone. So that’s exactly what happened. The models are now offline across the board. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, laying out the terms. Now, any access, whether abroad or by non-citizens here in the U.S., is off-limits unless Anthropic gets an export…

US President Donald Trump suddenly pulled the plug on a planned military strike against Iran on Thursday, saying talks with Tehran had reached the highest levels and that a formal agreement could be inked in Europe as early as this weekend. Iranian officials weren’t having it—they quickly shot back, saying the U.S. was getting ahead of itself and no final decision had been made. Trump first shared the news on his social platform, then doubled down from the Oval Office. He claimed the U.S. had “just come to a great settlement regarding the war with Iran.” According to him, the…

Ford is recalling more than 255,000 cars in the U.S. because a faulty canister purge valve can suddenly stall the engine while you’re driving. Regulators say the problem affects some 2012–2018 Ford Focus models. These cars were part of an earlier recall—but it looks like the fix didn’t always stick. What Should Drivers Look Out For? If your check engine light comes on or your fuel gauge acts up, those are signs your car might have this issue. Ford plans to update the powertrain control module (PCM) software for free. The new software manages the emissions system and that pesky…

Spotify switched its app icon back to its usual green-and-black look after a month of trying out a flashy disco-ball design that, to be honest, didn’t go over well with most people. The disco version first showed up in May, marking Spotify’s 20th anniversary. They called it a playful nod to two decades of music streaming, but a lot of users weren’t feeling it. Instead of celebration, it just annoyed people. Complaints popped up everywhere—on Reddit, Twitter, and random comment sections. Some folks said the glittery effect just looked messy on their phone screens, while others had trouble even spotting…

Fitbit’s Air band, their stripped-down, budget fitness tracker, is inching closer to its India debut. Earlier this year, the company rolled out the Air with a splashy campaign led by Steph Curry. Now, it just popped up in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database—a crucial step for any gadget hoping to land on Indian store shelves. India’s not just another market here. The Air’s gotten unusual attention for such a simple tracker—it’s aimed directly at Whoop, and critics have praised its slick design, long battery, and solid sleep and recovery features. And it’s way more affordable than most smartwatches.…

OpenAI is thinking about slashing its per-token pricing—pretty aggressively, actually—as it tries to stay ahead of Anthropic and calm angry enterprise customers complaining about ballooning AI costs. At least, that’s what people familiar with the talks told The Wall Street Journal. This comes as both companies gear up for blockbuster IPOs, which investors hope will shed light on their actual business models and profits. Businesses Aren’t Happy About Costs Big clients are seriously worried about their AI bills. At an OpenAI event in early June, CEO Sam Altman basically admitted it’s a growing headache. He said that while cost complaints were…
