WASHINGTON (ANP) - Tyler Robinson, die verdacht wordt van de moord op Charlie Kirk, lijkt de aanslag op de Amerikaanse conservatieve influencer te hebben bekend in een kleine chatgroep op het online platform Discord, zo meldt The Washington Post.

In een reeks berichten die Robinson naar een kleine groep mensen stuurde, schreef hij dat hij "slecht nieuws" had en dat hij "op UVU was gisteren". De UVU staat voor Utah Valley University, de plek waar Kirk werd doodgeschoten.

Robinson verstuurde de berichten ongeveer twee uur voordat hij werd gearresteerd, aldus de Post, die onder meer screenshots van de gesprekken heeft ingezien.

De 22-jarige man werd donderdag aangehouden, bijna anderhalve dag na de schietpartij op de universiteit in Utah. Robinson wordt later deze week formeel aangeklaagd.

President Donald Trump called Monday for companies to report earnings every six months instead of quarterly. Trump posted on social media that semi-annual reporting would save money and let managers focus on running companies. The SEC mandated quarterly reports in 1970. Trump made similar comments in 2018 that prompted SEC public comment but no regulatory changes.

Critics argue quarterly reporting increases costs and encourages short-term thinking. Supporters say frequent disclosures maintain investor trust and reduce market manipulation risks.

Lead times for high-capacity hard drives have exceeded 52 weeks as AI workloads drive unprecedented demand for warm storage that sits between fast SSDs and offline tape archives, according to TrendForce. Western Digital notified customers of price increases across its entire hard drive portfolio citing demand for "every capacity" in its product line.

The shortage stems from AI infrastructure requirements including training datasets, model checkpoints and inference logs that consume petabytes of storage space. These files are too large for primary SSD storage but must remain accessible for quick retrieval. Hard drive manufacturers have not significantly expanded production capacity in approximately a decade. Cloud service providers are evaluating QLC SSDs for cold data storage despite costs remaining four to five times higher per gigabyte than mechanical drives. Memory suppliers are developing SSD products specifically for this intermediate storage tier.
