Trump Admin Ends Federal Funding for Minors' Hormone Treatments and Surgeries

The Trump administration’s CMS announced that Medicaid and CHIP will stop funding gender-affirming care for minors, including cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-change surgeries, with a six-month taper for current patients. Mental health treatments for gender dysphoria will continue to be covered. Officials say the procedures are experimental and carry long-term risks, citing the Cass Review, and frame the move as protecting children while saving taxpayer dollars.

Marvell jumps after Nvidia chief hails it as the 'next trillion-dollar' company

Marvell Technology’s stock surged about 24% in premarket trading after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it the 'next trillion-dollar company,' a boost that follows Nvidia’s $2 billion investment earlier this year to help customers use its AI chips with Marvell’s gear; Marvell forecast its custom chips business to exceed $10 billion in revenue in fiscal 2029 as cloud AI data centers expand, highlighting strong demand for AI-ready interconnects that link thousands of processors.

Neo MacBook: Apple’s easiest repair in years but still memory‑locked

iFixit’s teardown of Apple’s MacBook Neo finds it the company’s most repairable laptop since 2014, with screws securing the battery and keyboard and parts like the camera and fingerprint sensor easy to swap. Yet the 8GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard, making memory upgrades nearly impossible, and the device scores only 6/10 on repairability. Experts warn the RAM soldering could hinder future AI workloads, even as Apple touts privacy advantages of local AI; the Neo is expected to target education markets similar to low-cost Chromebooks.

Cisco launches AI-optimized Silicon One chip to outpace peers in data-center networking

Cisco unveiled the Silicon One G300 switch chip, built on TSMC’s 3‑nm process, with “shock absorber” features to reroute data in microseconds and speed AI training/inference across massive data centers by about 28%. Slated for sale in the second half of 2026, the chip aims to win share in the AI infrastructure market by competing with Broadcom’s Tomahawk and Nvidia’s networking offerings amid a roughly $600 billion AI-spend boom.

The $250 Million Machine Fueling the AI Chip Boom

ASML’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines — giant, $250 million systems that print ultra-dense chip circuitry — are central to making the AI chips powering data centers and Nvidia’s products. The machines use tin droplets, powerful lasers, and Zeiss mirrors to pattern silicon wafers at 13 nanometers, and are delivered from the Netherlands to major fabs including TSMC, Samsung, SK Hynix, Intel, Micron and Rapidus. ASML shipped 44 EUV systems last year and expects a surge in demand for 2026–27 as AI and cloud infrastructure expand.

Updates on the Mac Pro

Apple has not updated the Mac Pro since 2023 and is unlikely to do so in 2026, favoring the Mac Studio with its newer M3 Ultra chip and expanded capabilities. The Mac Studio is increasingly replacing the Mac Pro for most users, with only high-end professionals needing the expansion slots offered by the Mac Pro. Apple seems to be shifting focus away from the Mac Pro line, possibly discontinuing it in the future, while continuing to sell the current M2 Ultra version.
