    YouTube is easing up its ad policy for videos covering ‘controversial issues.’

    Videos that include topics like reproductive rights, self-harm, suicide, and abuse will be able to earn more revenue now as long as they don’t include graphic scenes or descriptions, as spotted by Tubefilter.

    Previously, videos that even mentioned potentially controversial topics would often be demonetized.

    The Trump administration’s latest chip tariffs are here.

    The 25 percent tariff announced on Wednesday only applies to chips imported into the US then exported to other countries, as the New York Times reports. While it won’t apply to chips imported for use in the US, it will let the government collect some of the earnings from sales of AI chips to China.

    The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft’s Fig colorway is almost here.

    The new red-purple hue will be available on January 28th, adding a more vibrant alternative to the original “Graphite” version we reviewed last month. However, it looks like the “Fig” color will only be an option for the more expensive $679.99 64GB version of the Scribe Colorsoft.

    The Trump administration will allow Nvidia to export H200 chips to China, on a few conditions.

    Sales of Nvidia’s AI chips to customers in China will be approved on a “case-by-case basis,” as Bloomberg reports. But the chips shipped to China can be “no more than 50% of the total products made for the US market,” and can’t create a shortage in the US.
