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.
