Biden Administration’s U-Turn on MA Right to Repair Law, Nvidia’s Revenue Surge & More

NHTSA Reverses Direction on MA Right to Repair Law

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent a letter to the Massachusetts attorney general’s office last week giving the state the go-ahead to enforce the right to repair law voters approved there in 2020.

Nvidia reported second quarter revenue of $13.51 billion, an 88% increase from the second quarter of 2022, and said it expected revenue of about $16 billion in the current quarter, a 170% increase over the same period last year.

Stalking Victims Sue Tile, Amazon Over Tracking Device

Two victims of stalking have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Tile Inc. and Amazon in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging the Tile tracking device, used to determine the whereabouts of missing keys or a purse, was marketed “both explicitly and implicitly for the purpose of tracking people—particularly women.” Amazon partnered with Tile in 2021 to improve its Sidewalk tracking network, which the suit alleges “made the Tile tracker vastly more effective, and therefore vastly more dangerous.” (INSURANCE JOURNAL)
