Trump-Netanyahu Call Sparks Dueling Accounts

Claim checked

“EXCLUSIVE: According to a very senior official on the PM’s team on the late-night Netanyahu-Trump call, the Axios report is inaccurate. Trump did not make personal remarks about jail or claim Netanyahu is hated globally. ​Instead, the tense call focused on conflicting social media posts: Trump felt Netanyahu implied the war was continuing at full intensity, while Netanyahu felt Trump implied a total ceasefire. ​Trump did note that defending Israel’s global position is difficult and breeds...”

Nvidia RTX Spark Confirms Arm PC Teasers

Claim checked

“Nvidia, Microsoft and Arm posted the same “a new era of PC” teaser this week, with coordinates pointing at Jensen Huang’s Computex keynote. The reveal everyone expects is N1X, Nvidia’s first Arm-based Windows laptop chip. Nvidia tried to buy Arm outright for $40 billion and gave up in 2022 after regulators lined up against the deal.
