3 min readBhubaneswarJun 5, 2026 07:33 PM IST When identical twins Mahroof Ahmed Khan and Masroor Ahmed Khan left Bhubaneswar for Kota around three years ago to prepare for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), they both had a shared dream — earning a seat at IIT Bombay. At Kota, they studied across the same table, shared the same study materials, cleared doubts together, and became each other’s biggest support system. They even achieved an identical 99.98 percentile in JEE Main Session-1, and worked towards excelling in JEE Advanced. They both eyed studying Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at IIT Bombay. Their…

Gibraltar take on Cayman Islands in a friendly on Saturday. Both teams failed to qualify for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, which starts on June 11. Scott Wiseman’s Gibraltar are coming off a 4-0 thrashing of British Virgin Islands in a friendly earlier this month. Following a 10th-minute own goal by Virgin Islands defender Johari Lacey, Manchester United academy winger James Scalon scored either side of the break to complete a resounding win for Team 54. Thanks for the submission! Earlier, in March, Wiseman’s side lost 1-0 home and away to Latvia…

After a $650 million funding round, Slate’s electic pickup is closer than ever to market. One of Slate’s investors could be one of the industry’s biggest names in used car sales, TechCrunch reports. It’s not clear if Carvana has taken a stake in Slate, or if the companies are exploring deeper partnerships. Slate—the underdog startup with a plastic-bodied electric pickup—is getting closer to launching its low-cost EV. And as any of the many failed EV companies can tell you, building a brand new car from scratch is very, very expensive. Thankfully, investors exist for this very reason. Tesla had Elon…

Xpeng’s head of autonomous driving told Electrek that the company is spending roughly 300 million RMB (~$41 million) per month on AI training alone and believes it has already reached parity with Tesla’s FSD v13 — with v14 within reach before the end of summer. I sat down with Dr. Xianming Liu, head of Xpeng’s General Intelligence Center, the day after he delivered a keynote at CVPR 2026 in Denver — sharing the stage with Tesla’s Ashok Elluswamy and leaders from Nvidia and Waymo at one of the world’s top computer vision conferences. The conversation covered Xpeng’s VLA 2.0 architecture,…

Let’s be honest: Some cities in this world refuse to let you go. Portugal is home to many of those cities, from Lisbon and Porto to the Algarve and more, boasting sun-drenched hills, blue coasts, late-night fado sessions, and pastéis de nata that ruin all other pastries forever. For me, a quick getaway to Lisbon spiraled into an extended love affair with the city. The last time I visited, I ended up changing my return flight three times because I simply was not ready to leave. Thankfully, TAP Air Portugal—the country’s flag carrier and the airline that has connected Portugal…

Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone’s whereabouts. This week, I’m investigating where it might have been built — and why it definitely wasn’t the US.Almost a year after its announcement, the Trump phone has “launched.” A few journalists and YouTubers have received early samples of the phone, though there’s still little evidence that any regular buyers have gotten theirs. If and when anyone else gets it, they’ll discover an open secret: Just like Trump’s “God Bless the USA” bible, it’s not really…

Blackstone-backed data center operator AirTrunk said on Thursday it would invest $30 billion in India by 2030, adding to a wave of commitments from technology and infrastructure groups seeking to expand computing capacity in the country. The Australian company said it would develop 5 gigawatts of new data center capacity in India, one of the largest commitments to the South Asian nation’s digital infrastructure sector. AirTrunk entered India earlier this year through the acquisition of Lumina CloudInfra. AirTrunk’s commitment underlines India’s growing appeal as a destination for AI infrastructure, as tech companies and investors seek new geographies to expand computing…
