Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang under investigation after admitting affair with alleged Chinese spy in company-wide email
Nvidia has announced that it has opened an official investigation into its CEO, Jensen Huang, after he admitted that he was involved in an affair with a business executive who is suspected of being a Chinese spy. Following a New York Times report about Huang's affair with Megaspeed executive and Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang / Huang Le, the Nvidia CEO addressed the situation in a company letter (via the BBC ). "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry," Huang wrote. "Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, Nvidia's Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully." US intelligence believes that Huang was unaware of Alice Huang's alleged activities, and the security branch reportedly has surveillance of her feeding i

Anticipated Warhammer 40K tactical RPG Dark Heresy gets a release date
Warhammer: 40,000: Dark Heresy developer Owlcat Games has confirmed that the CRPG will officially launch on January 28, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A follow-up to the studio's previous—and lengthy—game, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy will put players in the boots of an Inquisitor, one of the chosen few who work in the shadows to hunt down heretics and purge worlds of dark influences. Set in the Calixis sector, players will start as lowly acolytes, forming a band of outcasts as they embark on their crusade to root out all evil. Owlcat Games says you can recruit colorful characters to your gang, including abhumans like Cogg, dangerous Psykers like Saro, Pariahs like Discordance, and, for a touch of extra heresy, even xenos like the mysterious Aeldari Corsair Laarthyr or the flesh-eating Kroot Ra’akhti. https://youtu.be/PKccIqfBskc Each companion brings unique skill

Nvidia’s board needs to do some succession planning – sharpish | Nils Pratley
The chipmaker faces business risks and political scrutiny due to its over-reliance on founder and CEO Jensen Huang Why is Nvidia’s Jensen Huang at the centre of a US-China row? Too big – and too well-connected – to sack? One doesn’t have to be overly cynical to think Jensen Huang, the Nvidia boss, starts with one huge advantage as the chipmaker’s board starts its independent investigation into the alleged honeytrap spy scandal . The world of US big tech is not, to put it mildly, strong on checks and balances on a founder’s power. Huang does not enjoy the supercharged voting rights that are par for the course elsewhere – his shareholding is a plain vanilla 3.6%. On the other hand, Nvidia’s board does not appear to have spent much time worrying about succession planning and “key person risk” or other standard concerns of corporate governance wonks outside the US.

Burnham warns that NHS will ‘struggle’ to cope if consultants don’t resume talks over pay – UK politics live
Hospital consultants are set to go on a two-day strike at the end of October Downing Street has insisted that the government remains committed to the principle of the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate – while not denying today’s Guardian report saying interim targets to achieve it are set to be watered down. (See 9.26am .) Asked about the story at the daily lobby briefing, the PM’s spokesperson said: The government is fully behind the zero emission vehicle mandate, and no decisions have been taken yet. We’re sticking to our commitment, phasing out new cars that run only on petrol or diesel by 2030, every new car and van will be zero emission by 2035, and our legally binding net zero targets. None of that is changing. Continue reading...
