Today’s tech headlines span everything from infrastructure to accountability. In Washington, Bill Gates told lawmakers that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly tried to use Gates’s extramarital affairs as leverage, a striking detail from closed-door testimony that adds new texture to scrutiny of Epstein’s influence network. In industry news, Meta is deepening its AI buildout with a deal to lease its first India-based AI data center from Reliance, a 168-megawatt facility in Gujarat that underscores how global tech giants are racing to secure computing capacity. Consumer connectivity is also getting more flexible, with AT&T launching a $3 unlimited day pass for cellular iPads in the U.S., aimed at users who want data without a monthly plan. And on the retail front, Walmart is undercutting the market with AirPods Pro 3 at a record-low $179, as Prime Day competition starts to reshape gadget pricing.
