Nvidia, Apple Supplier Foxconn Plans U.S. AI Server Plant After $375M Sale
Aug 4 - The Taiwan-based electronics giant Foxconn (FXCOF), officially known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, plans to build an artificial intelligence server assembly plant in the U.S., Bloomberg reports. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with FXCOF. This shift comes as Foxconn prepares to sell its electric vehicle factory in Ohio for $375 million. It plans to redirect part of that capital into expanding AI server production closer to its American clients. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) count on Foxconn for assembly of critical hardware, and with AI investments rising sharply across the U.S. tech landscape, demand for localized production has gained urgency. The planned plant would mark a strategic shift toward supporting the booming AI infrastructure buildout from within the U.S., aligning with broader industry trends and political pressure to boost domestic manufacturing. President Donald Trump continues to push for more high-tech production on American soil, making Foxconn's move both timely and aligned with national policy goals. While Foxconn hasn't disclosed the exact site or schedule, the investment signals its deeper integration into U.S.-based AI development. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Not a typo! The MacBook Air M4 is $200 off right now and lowest price ever
Apple's new MacBook Air M4 tops our list of the best laptops you can buy for very good reason: it's light, speedy and (according to our testing) offers nearly 15 hours of battery life. It's a great laptop to take to work, school or the coffee shop, and right now it's cheaper than I've ever seen it thanks to Best Buy's big back-to-school laptop sale. For a limited time the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is $799 at Best Buy, which is a serious $200 discount off the usual $999 asking price. This is the cheapest I've ever seen the MacBook Air M4, which is one of the best laptops you can buy thanks to its 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. We gave this laptop our Editor's Choice award because it's easily the best MacBook to date, and one of the best ultraportables period. The discount appears to apply across the retailer's entire stock of MacBook Air M4s, so if you prefer a bigger screen you can also get the 15-inch MacBook Air M4 for $999 at Best Buy. This is the same MacBook Air M4 sporting the same killer $200 discount, just with a bigger 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864). It offers slightly better battery life than the 13-incher but is otherwise identical, since it packs Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Personally that's the one I would buy because I'm a big guy with bad eyes so I like a big screen, but if you're more interested in saving money a brand-new 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $800 is the best deal I've seen yet on these incredible ultraportables. You can read our full MacBook Air M4 review to see why we call this svelte powerhouse the top value in laptops right now. Even at the standard $999 asking price this thing is hard to beat thanks to its winning combination of high-speed performance, portability and incredible power efficiency. Now that it's cheaper than I've ever seen it? This is a deal you absolutely don't want to miss if you want a new MacBook Air this year. I grew up using Windows PCs, but with the advent of Apple silicon it's been hard not to love modern MacBooks. If you skim our 15-inch MacBook Air M4 review you can check out our lab testing results to see exactly how speedy these M4-powered monsters are when it comes to serious work and photo/video editing. Plus, the new Sky Blue color scheme looks lovely in person and adds a fun splash of color to the standard lineup of black, white and gray laptops you see at the coffee shop. Frankly, the only drawback is the relatively limited selection of ports you get, as each MacBook Air M4 comes with just two Thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack. But that's really all you need these days, and if you want more options you can invest in an inexpensive USB dock to get as many different ports as you need! But act fast if you want one of the best MacBooks ever made for the lowest price I've ever seen, because I'm confident this deal won't last long.

Amazon splits up the Wondery podcast network and lays off about 110 employees
Four years after Amazon's acquisition of podcast network Wondery , the tech giant is dismantling its $300 million purchase and reorganizing various audio properties into separate teams at the company. As first reported by Bloomberg , this reorg will see the studio lose about 110 employees, and CEO Jen Sargent is departing the company. Amazon told Bloomberg it will continue to produce podcasts, though their place within the company will be restructured. The more narrative-focused podcasts under the Wondery brand, such as American Scandal and Business Wars , will merge with Amazon's Audible team. Some of these podcasts will retain Wondery branding, and the Wondery Plus app will remain active. Subscribers to Wondery Plus get early access to some podcast episodes through the app, though it's unclear at this point what functionalities will remain in the app, and which will be absorbed by Audible. Meanwhile, the celebrity-hosted shows such as New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce and Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard will be rolled into a new team that Amazon is calling Creator Services. According to Bloomberg , a main focus of this new team will be selling large sponsorships. These titles are part of a growing trend toward video podcasts that have helped make YouTube the go-to platform for podcast consumption. Steve Boom, VP for Audio, Twitch and Games at Amazon, addressed the changes in a memo (published by Deadline ) sent to Amazon employees. "The podcast landscape has evolved significantly over the past few years. As video podcasting has grown in popularity, we have learned that creator-led, video-integrated shows have different audience needs and require distinct discovery, growth and monetization strategies compared with audio-first, narrative series," he wrote. Employees who were let go as part of these changes were notified Monday, though Amazon spokesperson Alice Zhou told The Verge that "many of the impacted employees" would be moved to "other parts of Amazon."
