It's been nearly a year since DJI sued the Department of Defense over its designation as a "Chinese military company." On Friday, a judge ruled against the drone maker. US District Judge Paul Friedman said the DoD presented enough evidence that DJI contributes to the Chinese military. "Indeed, DJI acknowledges that its technology can and is used in military conflict but asserts that its policies prohibit such use," Friedman wrote in his opinion . "Whether or not DJI's policies prohibit military use is irrelevant. That does not change the fact that DJI's technology has both substantial theoretical and actual military application."

According to a 2024 global survey of students by the Digital Education Council, more than half used AI tools on a weekly basis.

A recent Gallup poll of students around the country revealed nearly half were unsure of their school's stance on AI.

Dating in 2025 isn't easy, according to daters that Mashable spoke to earlier this year. Dating app exhaustion is realer than ever, and while people want to branch out and meet in person, they're finding it difficult.  With modern life as busy as it is, and community scattered as it is, online dating isn't going anywhere. That's not a bad thing, as dating apps are a legitimate way to find a partner, and not just a short-term one. Nearly 44 percent of adults say they use dating apps to find a long-term partner rather than just casual dating or hookups , according to the Pew Research Center. One in 10 partnered adults met their current partner through a dating app, and for younger adults and LGBTQ people, that number rises.  SEE ALSO: Feeling thrifty: 10 free dating apps to try in 2025 You can find someone on dating apps, even if you long for a spontaneous meet cute .
