These are the Daily Tech Headlines for Monday, July 28th, 2025. I'm Sarah Lane. Samsung secured a $16.5 billion deal to manufacture Tesla's next gen A16AI chip through 2033 using its yet unopened fab in Taylor, Texas. Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the deal on X, saying he'll personally oversee progress to ensure efficiency. Samsung currently builds Tesla's A14 chips, but lost the A15 contract to TSMC. The agreement also helps revive the Taylor, Texas plant, which has faced delays due to lack of customers. The European Commission says that Temu users in the EU face a high risk of encountering illegal products, including counterfeit baby toys and non compliant electronics. TEMU is designated a very large online platform under the Digital Services act and is under investigation for failing to keep such goods off its marketplace. If found in violation, it could be fined up to 6% of global revenue. The probe includes Temu's design practices recommendation, transparency and data access for researchers following the UK's Online Safety act requiring mandatory age checks for adult content, VP signups in the UK have surged, with ProtonVPN specifically reporting a 400% increase. The law requires platforms to block access to harmful content for users under the age of 18, prompting concerns over privacy due to ID and selfie verification. Major platforms like Reddit and X have committed to age gating, and non compliance could result in steep fines or criminal penalties. However, UK age verification tools used by Reddit and Discord among others, can reportedly be tricked. Using a game called Death Stranding's Photo Mode, players discovered that pointing their phone camera at the game's protagonist Sam Bridges, and then manipulating his facial expressions using in game controls was enough to fool face scanning systems like Kid and Persona. The Verge's Tom Warren confirmed the exploit worked on both platforms in mere seconds, though Blue Skies Yoti based verification wasn't fooled. IMAX is partnering with Runway to screen 10 finalist films from the 3rd Annual AI Film Festival at IMAX Theaters in 10 US cities August 17th through the 20th. The short films were selected from 6,000 submissions and explore AI assisted storytelling and range from 2 to 10 minutes in length. Runway is now valued at more than $3 billion and secured deals with Lionsgate and AMC. This marks IMAX's latest step into non traditional programming as it experiments with AI driven content. Google says its Android earthquake alert system failed during a deadly quake in Turkey back in 2023, sending only 469 high level take action alerts instead of the potential 10 million. Google says the system underestimated the quake strength, mistaking a 7.8 magnitude tremor for a 4.5 to 4.9 and only issued half a million lower tier warnings. Google says it's since revised the algorithm, which now performs better in simulations. Last week, intel reported Q2 revenue that beat expectations, with the majority of its planned layoffs completed ending the year with 75,000 employees. CEO Liputan also announced intel will cancel factory construction in Germany and Poland, slow down construction of a factory in Ohio, with consolidated testing and assembly operations in Vietnam and Malaysia. 20 national security experts are urging the US administration to reverse its decision, allowing Nvidia to resume sales of its H20AI chip to China. In a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick the group argued the move undermines US technological and military advances, warning that the H20 outperforms even Nvidia's restricted H100 chip in AI inference tasks. Critics also say it could worsen domestic chip shortages and aid China's military. And finally today, the Internet Archive now has Federal Depository Library status, granted by the US Senate. This means it can directly receive and distribute government documents as part of the official 1100 member 3 federal depository library program. This doesn't affect the Archives ongoing legal battles over digital book lending and music preservation, but it validates the archive's public value as it nears a milestone of 1 trillion archived pages.
