Here’s the magnetic USB-C port that Microsoft built.

[Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-VcPCTqSo] What if we had an incredibly easy to snap-on and snap-off magnetic USB-C port? It’s a joy in person. It might still be proprietary, though: Microsoft is patenting the thing and isn’t quite saying whether it’ll let other manufacturers use it.

BMW’s iX3 M60 looks sick.

The sportier, M-badged iX3 SUV has twin motors putting out 603 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, with a blistering 0-60 time in 3.9 seconds. You can also expect all the standard M chassis tech, like adaptive suspension, variable sport steering, and an electronically controlled differential. BMW calls the design “unmistakably extroverted,” and yeah, I kind of agree.

Trump queues up participation trophies for tech execs at Thursday’s “Golden Age” White House summit.

Tomorrow’s event will announce more than $1 billion in commitments for the Trump admin’s “Genesis Project” AI push and investments from the NSF and Energy Department, reports Axios, including $100 million in credits from something called National Compute. Meanwhile, Fox News and Bloomberg report Trump will award the National Medal of Science to Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Sergey Brin, and Lisa Su, while Michael Dell and Satya Nadella are in line for the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

Florida asked a judge to order Meta to remove kids under 14 from its platforms.

A new filing calls for Meta to make several changes for teen users in Florida, like limits on who can message them and a two-hour time limit across Meta’s apps. As Reuters reports, Florida is continuing its lawsuit against Meta rather than accepting a settlement, which AG James Uthmeier called “a slap on the wrist.” [Link: Florida asks court to force Meta to change Facebook, Instagram for teens | https://www.reuters.com/world/us/florida-asks-court-force-meta-change-facebook-instagram-teens-2026-10-07/ | Reuters]
