Projectors were once the exclusive choice of home theater enthusiasts happy to plunk down tens of thousands of dollars for a 100-inch screen. But projectors have since dropped in price significantly, thanks in part to companies like Epson whose new 4K laser projector uses cheaper high-def components in a clever way to…

Intel could soon announce a nearly $6 billion acquisition that would give its fledgling foundry business a boost, according to The Wall Street Journal. The chip giant is reportedly close to clinching a deal to purchase Israeli chip company Tower Semiconductor, and it could be announced sometime this week unless the talks suddenly fall apart.
Tower, which has a market value of around $3.6 billion, produces various types of chips for clients across industries, including automakers and medical and industrial equipment manufacturers. Its website shows that it has seven fabrication facilities located in Israel, Italy, the US and Japan making 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch chips. Tom’s Hardware says the manufacturing processes it uses aren’t cutting edge, but the chips it makes don’t need the latest technologies anyway. Tower only needs to reliably and regularly generate large volumes of chips.
Before Tower, Intel was reported to be in talks to purchase the much larger chip manufacturer and AMD spinoff GlobalFoundries for around $30 billion. It didn’t push through, however, and GlobalFoundries chose to pursue an initial public offering instead.
Intel launched its foundry services back in 2021 when it committed $20 billion to build two Arizona factories and explained that it will be run as its own business unit. Earlier this year, the company also revealed its plans to build a massive semiconductor facility in Ohio that it’s hoping would become “the largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet.” It will use the fabs in the complex to manufacture both its chips and chips for clients under its foundry services.

In the past, whenever you liked an Instagram Story, it would basically send a DM to the person indicating that you liked their post. However, according to a tweet by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, that will soon change as they are now giving users the ability to like a Story anonymously.
Basically once this feature has been rolled out, a new button will be introduced to Stories in the form of a heart button. This is the same button that you can find on Instagram posts to like a post, so tapping on that will let you like a post without actually sending a DM to the person.
❤️ Private Story Likes ❤️
Starting to roll out today, you can now send some love by liking people’s stories without sending a DM.
Likes on stories are private and do not have counts. Rather, they appear as hearts next to people’s handles in your Stories view sheet. 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/l56Rmzgnnw

This works out for both the poster and user, where the poster will no longer be flooded with DMs indicating likes which we imagine can be annoying, and can also be useful for people to like posts of people without letting them know about it. However, unlike regular Instagram posts, Story likes will not show a count.
Instead, you know if you have liked a post if you see the heart button filled up in an Instagram Story. This doesn’t really change the way Stories are posted, but a slight change in how users interact with Stories in the future.
