Daily Tech News 6 March 2026

Top Story

The Department of War has sunk Anthropic with a torpedo fired from a submarine, the first such incident by a US Navy vessel since World War 0. (Politico)

Or I might be conflating various world events. It's been a long day.
Speaking of navies abruptly relocated at the bottom the the sea Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic. (Tech Crunch)

Not divesting, but not investing further either.

Tech News

AI generated results in Bing search pointed users at malicious versions of OpenClaw that attempted to install a whole swarm of malware onto your computer. (Bleeping Computer)

Even worse than the legitimate version of OpenClaw, I mean.
The CEO of cheating app Cluely lied about the company's revenue. (Tech Crunch)

That's slightly worse than trying to fudge your term paper.
There is no longer a 512GB Mac Studio. (Macrumors)

It was expensive. Now it's gone.
Nvidia on the other hand is reportedly preparing an RTX 5050 with 9GB of RAM. (Tom's Hardware)

That's up from the current 8GB, but the details kind of make sense given the exact specs of the 5050. The update would switch from four 16Gb DDR6 chips running at 20GHz to three 24Gb DDR7 chips running at 28GHz.

It would provide a little more memory and a little more performance while using fewer components. The rest of Nvidia's 5000 series graphics cards all use DDR7 memory; the entry-level 5050 was the only one that did not.
Lenovo's Idea Tab Pro Gen 2 is set to arrive in March. (Liliputing)

I have the smaller, cheaper Idea Tab Nothing. It's not an amazing performer but the display is first rate - Lenovo calls it "paperlike" and I can't disagree. It doesn't feel like looking at a screen at all; it feels like magic.

The new model has a 13" 3540x2190 display (mine has an 11" 2560x1600 screen), 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a microSD slot, and a pen. The specs don't use the term "paperlike" anywhere but I hope it's similar.
