iPhone 5 reaches the end of the line as Apple declares it obsolete

Repairs are now off the table for the iPhone 5, closing out support for one of Apple's most important early designs.iPhone 5The company updated its vintage and obsolete products list on March 16, moving the iPhone 5 and 8GB iPhone 4 out of vintage status. The iPhone 5 holds more weight due to its role as the first iPhone with a Lightning port.Apple will no longer provide hardware service or supply parts for the iPhone 5 through its retail stores or authorized repair network. Effectively, it ends the device's usable lifespan within Apple's ecosystem for most users. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

xAI is being sued by teens who say Grok created CSAM using their photos

xAI, which is already facing multiple investigations around the world over widespread reports that Grok repeatedly created sexualized images of children, is now facing a class action lawsuit. Three teenagers, who allege that photos of them were used by Grok to generate child exploitation material, have filed a class action lawsuit against xAI in California. According to the lawsuit, one of the teens was alerted last December that someone was sharing AI-generated images and videos of her and other minors "in settings with which she was familiar, but morphed into sexually explicit poses." The images and videos were allegedly shared on Discord, Telegram and other platforms and used "as a bartering tool" for other CSAM imagery. Law enforcement officials who investigated the images told the girls' parents they were created with xAi's Grok, the lawsuit says.The three teens, all of whom live in Tennessee and are identified as Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2 and Jane Doe 3, have "suffered severe emotional distress," the filing says. "Their lives have been shattered by the devastating loss of privacy, dignity, and personal safety that the production and dissemination of this CSAM have caused," lawyers for the teens write in the complaint, which was provided to Engadget. "xAI’s financial gain through the increased use of its image- and video-making product came at their expense and wellbeing. Plaintiffs will have to spend the rest of their lives knowing that their CSAM images and videos may continue to be trafficked and traded online by child sex predators."Though the lawsuit currently names three individuals, the complaint says that it could cover "at least thousands of minors" who have also had their photos manipulated by Grok into sexualized images. The lawsuit claims xAI has violated multiple laws, including laws barring the production and distribution of child abuse material. xAI didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit. The company is also facing multiple investigations in the US and Europe over Grok's alleged generation of nonconsensual nudity. Researchers at the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated in January that Grok had produced millions of sexualized images, including 23,000 that appeared to show children.xAI CEO Elon Musk, who previously promoted Grok's "spicy" abilities, has claimed that he was "not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok." xAI announced in January it would stop allowing people to use Grok to edit images of real people into bikinis and limit Grok's image-generation feature to paid subscribers.

NVIDIA Releases Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory Reference Design and Omniverse DSX Digital Twin Blueprint With Broad Industry Support

News Summary: The new NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design provides a guide for building codesigned AI infrastructure that delivers maximum token per watt and accelerated time to first production.The NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, now generally available with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI Factory reference design, powers digital twins for large-scale AI factory design and simulation.Industry leaders Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Eaton, Jacobs, NScale, Phaidra, Procore Technologies, PTC, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Switch, Trane Technologies and Vertiv are contributing to the DSX architecture and blueprint by integrating platforms, providing SimReady assets and connecting software to help design, build and optimize AI factories.Energy leaders Emerald AI, GE Vernova, Hitachi and Siemens Energy are using the NVIDIA DSX reference architecture to unlock grid capacity, delivering the power needed to build and connect new AI factories.SAN JOSE, Calif., March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC -- NVIDIA today announced the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design, a guide for building codesigned AI infrastructure, and general availability of the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, fully compatible with NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX, to enable physically accurate AI factory digital twins for large-scale design, buildout and operations.Industry leaders Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Eaton, Jacobs, Nscale, Phaidra, Procore, PTC, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Switch, Trane Technologies and Vertiv are contributing to the reference design and blueprint to help plan, build and operate these massive AI factory buildouts."In the age of AI, intelligence tokens are the new currency, and AI factories are the infrastructure that generates them," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "With the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design and Omniverse DSX Blueprint, we are providing the foundation to build the world's most productive AI factories, accelerating time to first revenue and maximizing scale and energy efficiency."Building AI Factories That Maximize Every WattBuilding large-scale AI factories to meet the rising demand for training and inference is complex, requiring precise coordination across infrastructure, power, cooling, networking, software and compute.The NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design outlines how to design, build and operate the entire AI factory infrastructure stack, spanning compute, NVIDIA Spectrum-XTM Ethernet networking and storage, for repeatable, scalable and optimal cluster performance. Documentation within the reference design also equips industry partners with best practices to design, build and operate power, cooling and control systems, enabling seamless hardware-software integration and scalable deployment.The Vera Rubin DSX software stack is open, modular and composable, connecting cluster hardware with power and cooling to maximize AI tokens per watt of available energy. Its flexible design lets AI factory builders and data center providers deploy as many components as they need.Rubin DSX offers a collection of software libraries for partners to build on:DSX Max-Q helps AI factories and ecosystem partners maximize computing output and token performance per watt on NVIDIA systems within a fixed power budget.DSX Flex connects AI factories to power-grid services, enabling them to dynamically adjust power use and orchestrate demand with hybrid onsite generation to save energy and maintain grid stability.DSX Exchange enables scalable and secure integration of compute, network, energy, power and cooling plant signals between IT, operational technology and operations agents.DSX Sim models validate AI factories as high-fidelity digital twins, using the NVIDIA DSX Air platform to model GPUs, networking and partner infrastructure, and DSX SimReady connects detailed 3D geometry, logistics and system behavior — accelerating time to first revenue and ensuring day-one performance.Full story available on Benzinga.com
