Google Find Hub's automatic enrollments will only give you two days to opt out (APK teardown)
TL;DR Google plans to expand Find Hub's automatic enrollment with more triggers.
We've now spotted clues suggesting that once users hit these triggers, they would have two days to opt out of participating in the Find Hub network.
Additional triggers expected in the future include enabling Location access on the device, syncing with Fast Pair accessories, and more.
Google recently rebranded Android's Find My Device tool into Find Hub when it added the ability to locate people in addition to devices. Separately, we had spotted that Google could introduce more automatic enrollment triggers to strengthen the Find Hub network. As it turns out, this automatic enrollment could start as early as two days after you chance upon a trigger.
We managed to activate new text for the Find Hub that suggests devices could be auto-enrolled in locating other devices in high-traffic areas within two days of a trigger. Users can either opt out of the change or join the network with other existing settings, namely 'without network' or 'with network in all areas.'

As the text in the alert box states, 'this device will join the network in high-traffic areas within 2 days. You can opt out or join the network now by selecting a setting.'

Currently, the Find Hub network is automatically turned on if and when you add a Google Account to your device. By default, your device is set to the 'With network in high-traffic areas only' setting. We've previously spotted strings for automatic enrollment based on triggers such as not opting out on the web, when users turn on Location access, if you sync recent location of another device or to Fast Pair accessories, or if you stop using your other devices. In the future, when you hit one of these triggers, you will have about two days to make a different choice before Google automatically enrolls your device into the Find Hub network in high-traffic areas. Previous versions of the string suggested users would have 24 hours, but two days is a slightly more generous timeline.
These automatic enrollments still do not appear to be live. We look forward to Google sharing more information about them when available, as we still need more clarity on how these automatic enrollments would work, especially in cases of significant overlap.
⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.

Paramount Skydance (PSKY) Soars 60% to New High. Time to Book Gains?
We recently published . Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) is one of the best-performing stocks on Wednesday. Paramount Skydance extended its rally to touch a new high on Wednesday, finishing up by 36.74 percent at $15 apiece, with a former hedge fund manager calling it a 'meme' stock. In a social media post, Mad Money host and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer said Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) is a 'meme stock' given the company's small public float and unjustifiable rally amid the lack of fresh developments. Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) climbed by as high as 60 percent at intra-day trading to hit $17.53 before paring gains to finish slightly lower during the session. In recent news, the company bagged a new $7.7-billion deal to exclusively air the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on Paramount+ for seven years beginning in 2026. The deal would include UFC's full slate of 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights through its direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+, with select numbered events to be simulcast on CBS. cellanr, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons As part of the agreement, Paramount Skydance Corp. (NASDAQ:PSKY) will move UFC away from the existing Pay-Per-View model and make the latter available at no additional cost to Paramount+ subscribers in the US. It also intends to explore UFC rights outside the US in the future.

Why TeraWulf Stock Is Skyrocketing Today
Key Points TeraWulf inked a multiyear, multibillion-dollar agreement to provide up to 200 megawatts of compute power to an AI cloud provider. The deal will be backed by Google in exchange for a potential 8% stake in TeraWulf. 10 stocks we like better than TeraWulf › Shares of TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) are flying on Thursday, up 44.1% as of 1:09 p.m. ET. The jump comes as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were down slightly. TeraWulf, a Bitcoin miner and high-performance computing (HPC) data center company, announced it inked a 10-year, $3.7 billion deal backed by Alphabet's Google. TeraWulf signs a massive deal for AI data center space Along with releasing its second-quarter earnings, TeraWulf announced a major co-location deal with Fluidstack, an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud provider that will see the company provide 200 megawatts of compute power at its data center in New York. The 10-year, $3.7 billion deal has the option to be extended twice for up to a total of $8.7 billion. Google will guarantee up to $1.8 billion if Fluidstack fails to make good on its lease obligations. In exchange, Google will be awarded warrants for 41 million shares of TeraWulf, about an 8% stake. The guarantee will allow TeraWulf to access the financing it needs to provide the 200 megawatts of compute power. TeraWulf stock is hot, but investors should exercise caution This is the latest major data center deal as big tech races to build enough capacity to meet current and projected future demands. It's hard to overstate just the scale of the efforts. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms alone are expected to spend roughly $400 billion next year and are on track to spend more than $350 billion this year. That's not total capital expenditures (capex), that is specifically data center capex. While this presents an enormous opportunity for data center providers, it also presents an enormous risk. I believe that the big tech companies are very purposefully making deals such as this one to offload the risk onto third parties. TeraWulf and other infrastructure companies like it are taking on enormous amounts of debt at very high interest rates. If there is an overbuild or AI demand sags, TeraWulf could find itself in a pretty precarious position. Should you invest $1,000 in TeraWulf right now?

Tesla Is Ramping Up Its Robotaxi Plans. What Does That Mean for TSLA Stock?
Tesla (TSLA) shares are in focus on Thursday following reports the company is searching for employees for its robotaxi operations in the New York City. The news arrives only days after Elon Musk, the billionaire chief executive of the electric vehicle behemoth, threatened a lawsuit against Apple (AAPL) for antitrust violation. More News from Barchart Why This Cannabis Penny Stock Could Be Wall Street's Next Meme Trade Breakout Apple Stock Is Gaining Momentum, Is AAPL Stock a Buy? Peter Thiel-Backed Bullish Is About to IPO. Should You Buy BLSH Stock? Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Tesla stock has been a tale of two cities this year. For those who invested in it in early 2025, it's down nearly 20% at the time of writing, but for ones that hopped on in early April, it's up 50%. Growing Robotaxi Services Could Benefit Tesla Stock TSLA's push to hire robotaxi operators in NYC indicates forward momentum in its autonomous vehicle strategy, an area investors increasingly view as a high-margin, scalable growth engine. More importantly, plans of expanding into one of the world's most complex urban environments signals management's confidence in the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Note that Tesla does not currently have regulatory authorization for its robotaxi services in NY, but the news still is a positive for TSLA shares. Why? Because it reinforces the company's commitment to capture future ride-hailing revenue, and its overall stature as a tech innovator, which may boost investor sentiment and speculative value. Guggenheim Warns of a 50% Crash in TSLA Shares CEO Elon Musk has already confirmed Tesla will open its robotaxi services to the public in Austin next month but a senior Guggenheim analyst doubts the company's ability to effectively execute its robotaxi platform. In a research note on Thursday, Ronald Jewsikow cited TSLA's lack of transparency around Safety Monitors for his bearish view on the EV stock. Given that human safety drivers are still present in Tesla's robotaxis, it's well within reason to assume that full autonomy isn't ready, despite investor optimism, he told clients. Guggenheim maintains its 'Sell' rating on Tesla shares with a $175 price target indicating potential downside of about 50% from current levels. Wall Street Remains Dovish on Tesla While note as bearish as Guggenheim, other Wall Street firms aren't particularly positive on TSLA stock either. The consensus rating on Tesla stock currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of roughly $300 suggesting potential downside of some 10% from here.
