Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking refunds for tariffs it paid under executive orders issued by President Donald Trump using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The case follows a Supreme Court ruling that the tariffs exceeded presidential authority, after the measures reportedly collected more than $200 billion in import duties from global businesses.

After the decision, Trump increased tariffs from 10% to 15%, prompting 24 U.S. states to file additional lawsuits arguing the move again oversteps presidential powers.

Samsung confirmed its upcoming AI smart glasses, expected around 2026, will include a camera but no built-in screen, instead sending what the user sees to a connected Galaxy phone for AI analysis and feedback.

The approach keeps the glasses lightweight while the smartphone handles processing and displays information, contrasting with devices that pack the technology directly into the headset.

Samsung is entering a market dominated by Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses and may initially target enterprise users, aiming to compete by focusing on AI capabilities rather than advanced hardware.

Oracle is preparing to cut thousands of jobs across several divisions as the company faces financial pressure from its massive spending on AI data center infrastructure.

Analysts expect Oracle’s cash flow to turn negative in the coming years while it invests heavily in data centers, with plans to raise about $50 billion through debt and equity to fund the expansion.

The company’s stock has dropped 54% since its September 2025 peak, and Oracle previously announced a restructuring plan that could cost up to $1.6 billion in severance and related expenses.

TerraPower, the nuclear energy startup founded by Bill Gates, received approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build a next-generation reactor in Wyoming — the first commercial-scale advanced nuclear plant to receive such a federal permit.

The facility, expected to be completed by 2030, will be the first commercial reactor built in the U.S. in nearly a decade and is part of a broader push for nuclear power to support growing electricity demand, including from AI data centers.

TerraPower’s 345-megawatt Natrium reactor uses liquid sodium cooling and includes a molten salt energy storage system that can boost output to 500 megawatts during periods of high demand.

Microsoft’s upcoming console, codenamed Project Helix, is expected to support both Xbox and PC games, according to a statement from gaming executive Asha Sharma.

Sharma said the company will discuss Project Helix with developers and partners at the upcoming Game Developers Conference, though details on how PC game access will work remain unclear.

The move could signal a shift toward a Windows-based console platform, continuing Microsoft’s strategy of blending the Xbox ecosystem with PC gaming.
