US Wants to Track Every Chip -- Nvidia Pulled Into Explosive Tech Showdown with China
Washington may be preparing its most aggressive move yet to control where its chips end up. As part of Donald Trumps newly unveiled AI action plan, US officials are floating the idea of embedding real-time location-tracking capabilities into semiconductors including those from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). The goal? Clamp down on smuggling and ensure sensitive tech doesnt quietly flow into Chinas AI ecosystem. Michael Kratsios, one of the architects of the plan, confirmed the discussions during an interview in South Korea, adding that the chip-level tracking approach is explicitly included in the strategy. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. While the US hasnt named specific companies it's negotiating with, Kratsios said he hasnt personally spoken with Nvidia or AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) yet about implementing tracking tools. Still, Nvidia is already feeling the heat. Last week, Chinese officials summoned the companys reps over alleged national security concerns tied to its H20 chips the same chips Washington is debating whether to keep restricted or allow under a broader trade deal involving rare-earth magnets. Nvidia, meanwhile, has rejected claims of any backdoors in its hardware. The broader backdrop is a high-stakes tug-of-war over who sets the rules in the next wave of AI and how tightly those rules are enforced. Kratsios didnt hold back in urging Asia-Pacific nations to adopt US-built AI infrastructure, signaling that federal financing tools could soon be deployed to help allies modernize. He also criticized Beijings push to create global standards for AI governance, saying countries should chart their own course and that Americas innovation-first model could be the more attractive one. But the clash over chip tracking shows this is more than a philosophical debate. If the US presses forward, it could reshape how semiconductors are designed, sold, and monitored with Nvidia caught squarely in the middle. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Samsung Acknowledges Its 'Upcoming' Tri-Fold Phone on Earnings Call
Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may have just come out, but it appears the company is already teasing its next foldable phone that takes things to a whole other level. In an earnings call last week, which was shared by Seeking Alpha, Samsung noted it's pushing forward with its triple-screen foldable that's been rumored for months. It also acknowledge the imminent arrival of its Project Moohan mixed reality headset that it's developing with Google. Samsung reportedly said it's "preparing to introduce" the products this year. "We will drive sales of our premium mobile AI devices, including our newly launched foldables and aim to lead the market by expanding our ecosystem through innovative form factors like the upcoming Tri-Fold device and our first XR headset," the company reportedly said on the call. A representative for Samsung didn't immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. Now Playing: Galaxy Z Fold 7 Review: Samsung Finally Nailed the Foldable 07:14 Last month, Android Authority reported that a Samsung executive said the new foldable is "ready to go." That person reportedly told the publication: "We've had a tri-fold for some time, designed and everything. So it's not a new concept to us. What we're debating is the viability. When I say the viability, is there really a demand for this form factor?" It's an interesting consideration, as there arguably hasn't been overwhelming demand for thinner phones, and yet Samsung still debuted the slim Galaxy S25 Edge in May -- and then carried over that sleek design to the Z Fold 7. But it's possible that, as Samsung said when it debuted its latest book-style foldable, "feeling is believing," and people might be keen to get their hands on a phone that feels more innovative than many other devices currently on the market. Android Authority cites a South Korean publication that says the rumored tri-fold will have a 10-inch OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a triple camera system with a 200-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera -- just like the Z Fold 7. It could also have a 10-megapixel selfie camera. Rumors suggest it could cost around $3,000. It could first launch in China and South Korea before the company determines whether to extend availability elsewhere. Like thin phones, tri-folds are having a moment. Last month, Chinese company Tecno showed off its tri-fold concept, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold. There's also the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, which is available now outside the US. In a press conference during Samsung Unpacked in July, Roh Tae-moon, the acting head of Samsung Electronics' Device Experience Division, reportedly confirmed plans for the company to launch a tri-fold phone by the end of this year. The device has been dubbed the "Galaxy G Fold," though Samsung seemingly hasn't confirmed anything about that naming. "We are now focusing on perfecting the product and its usability, but we have not decided its name," The Korea Times quoted Roh. "As the product nears completion, we are planning to make a final decision soon." We'll see if Samsung ends up dropping more teasers in the coming months, like it did in the lead-up to the Z Fold 7.

New Zealand to Replace Petrol Tax in Major Road Funding Reform
New Zealand has announced plans for a radical reform of how it pays for roading, turning its back on petrol taxes that were first introduced almost a century ago. The government will abolish the tax and replace it with road user charges for all light vehicles, Transport Minister Chris Bishop said Wednesday in Wellington. Legislation will be introduced in 2026 to allow a new system to be ready in 2027, but no firm implementation date has been set, he said.
