A Wall Street Journal report, passed on by Wccftech and TechPowerUp, claims Nvidia invested in AI startups that then bought its GPUs and built data centres. The report says the aim was to keep demand looking high and to absorb a surplus of chips ordered from TSMC. It describes an August meeting in which acting CEO Colette Kress pushed to cut back these deals, including Nvidia's $250 billion deal with OpenAI, and Huang reportedly called her a "deer in the headlights".
A petition to reinstate Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO had more than 115,000 signatures by Saturday afternoon, Business Insider reports.

Mercury Research data, reported by PC Gamer, shows AMD shipped 29.9% of desktop CPUs in the third quarter of 2026, down from 34.9% the quarter before. Intel rose to 70.1%. Mercury says it isn't sure why. Its best guess is that weaker laptop demand let Intel move more chips to desktops, while AMD is short of supply and depends more on PC gaming. In servers, AMD went up from 34.5% to 35.5%.

The FAA cancelled its nationwide ground stop at 01:19 UTC on 14 November, after halting departures over what it called a telecommunications outage. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the cause was work to replace old copper wire with fiber at a remote FAA facility, which he called routine maintenance. The Wall Street Journal reports he said contractor L3Harris may have installed a "faulty router". FAA administrator Bryan Bedford said there is "zero evidence of anything AI-related." Airlines are still cancelling flights as they reset.
Tesla says "select customers" can now order its Cybercab "for personal use". Electrek reports that the subscription agreement requires $299 a month on top of the $29,990 price, and that the car will only work inside Tesla-enabled zones, which Tesla can change at any time. The Verge notes the steering-wheel-free two-seater will "only be available in supported service areas". TechCrunch reports that even Elon Musk said the monthly fee is "too high."

Starship flew its 15th test flight from South Texas on Friday. The upper stage reached orbit and released 26 Starlink V3 satellites about 40 minutes into the flight. Ars Technica says this makes Starship an operational orbital rocket. The first-stage booster was sent into the Gulf of Mexico instead of being caught, because of an unspecified issue. SpaceX planned to try catching the upper stage on Saturday, and a widely shared post linking SpaceX's broadcast says the catch happened.
