Budget to entice companies to invest in major projects
A multi-million dollar innovation fund is expected to make Australia's most populous state a more attractive place to invest and start a business. The 2025/26 NSW budget, to be handed down on Tuesday, will allocate nearly $80 million in funding to make the state the best place to innovate, connect with investors and scale a business. The funding includes $38.5 million for Australia's largest technology and innovation hub, Tech Central, and $20 million for emerging technology commercialisation to help boost growth in the housing and energy sectors. In 2024, NSW accounted for 65 per cent of Australia venture capital investment, and is home to five out of eight "unicorn" companies, privately held companies valued at over $1 billion. Tuesday's budget will also include $17 million to set up an Investment Delivery Authority. The authority will be tasked with helping to accelerate approvals for major projects across all industries, including advanced technologies and energy. Major projects to be considered by the authority may include hotels, data centres, renewable energy projects and commercial developments. Too many major projects from the private sector were getting bogged down in red tape, Premier Chris Minns said. "Our state is open for business and this change will encourage more people to bring their best ideas to life in NSW, all backed by our government," he said. Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said the government was creating a way to address blockages, speed up the process and ensure NSW was properly open for business. "The Investment Delivery Authority is the turbocharger to drive economic growth across the state," he said.

Fastmail replaced my Gmail and I'm never going back
Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I had the digital equivalent of an epiphany the other day. I opened my inbox and saw…email. Only email. There were no ads, no AI-generated summaries, and no prompts. It was a strange, yet welcome, feeling after years of using Gmail. Checking my inbox no longer felt like an argument with an algorithm. That's because I switched to Fastmail earlier this year. It all began when I started distancing myself from American big tech platforms, where Google sits high on the list. I wanted something more private and more personal, with less bloat. Fastmail, an Australian company, caught my eye as a well-regarded alternative to Gmail. Six months in, I am confident I made the right choice. Would you leave Gmail for something more private? 0 votes Yes, already have. NaN % I'm thinking about it. NaN % Maybe, if Gmail gets worse. NaN % No, I'm staying with Google. NaN % Why I left Gmail and Google Calendar Nathan Drescher / Android Authority It wasn't only because Gmail is part of a big monopolistic American tech corporation. It wasn't only the insane amounts of data it collected. It was the cluttered UI and the push towards AI-driven features I never asked for. Google Calendar, meanwhile, does its job, but has begun to feel like it's trying to be something more than it is. Gemini is snooping more and more in Calendar, trying to be helpful but getting in the way. All of it felt more corporate than personal. What I wanted was a fast, private email that respected my time and let me work. I wanted a calendar that synced reliably across platforms without becoming another vector for distraction. I seriously considered Proton Mail. I have great respect for what the company is building. However, I have heard from others about occasional delivery hiccups, and I can't afford to miss an interview with a subject or an important follow-up with a client. Reliability was non-negotiable. Proton was out. How Fastmail fits into my daily life Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Fastmail handles all my email needs. The interface is clean and responsive. No tabs, no promotions. Just email. I can choose between a folder or tag structure, and I went with tags. It's one of the things I enjoy about Gmail. The Fastmail app is more than just email. There's a dropdown in the top left that allows me to switch to Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and even a cloud drive. The base plan comes with 50GB of storage, which isn't bad for $60 a year. The built-in calendar has been surprisingly strong. It syncs perfectly with the email side of the app, so appointments and meetings can be quickly added. I can share calendar events with others, even if they don't use Fastmail, and it looks great, as well. The base plan comes with 50GB of storage, which isn't bad for $60 a year. One feature I didn't expect to appreciate so much was the filtering system. I can control exactly how messages are sorted and what gets archived and flagged. It's like Gmail's labels, but with the user in mind. Notes are simple, but they work, and sync instantly between all devices. However, they're not as powerful or quick as Google Keep, so I still use that as my primary notetaking app. That said, I wasn't looking for a notes replacement. What I gained by switching Nathan Drescher / Android Authority The biggest gain in my life has been peace of mind. Fastmail isn't tracking me. My messages aren't being profiled, and Fastmail isn't trying to sell me anything. I pay it once a year, and it delivers my emails. I also gained reliability. Everything feels faster, with messages loading instantly and folders responding immediately. The search works great. There's no AI engine or smart features getting in the way. There's no AI engine or smart features getting in the way. Nathan Drescher Fastmail gives me control. I have control over my email and my calendar, and I can decide how things look and behave. That kind of ownership is preciously rare in modern digital services. Of course, there are still limits Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Nothing is perfect. Notes are barebones, and like I said, I don't use it often. It's certainly not a replacement for Keep. There's no deep integration with voice assistants, which could be a dealbreaker for some. I'm okay with it myself. There's also a learning curve when it comes to setting it up. I use a custom domain and had to mess around with my host's MX records, something I know little about. Once set up, however, it stayed out of the way. And it's not free. In this case, I'm happy to pay for something that works. I don't like being the product, after all. Fastmail gives me what I want Nathan Drescher / Android Authority It's a private and reliable alternative to Google's suite of apps. Sure, it doesn't have all the AI bells and whistles, but I see that as a selling point. I still use Google Keep, and I'm fine with that. I didn't set out to replace it, and the built-in notes feature that comes with Fastmail is more of an added bonus than a core feature for me. This was about finding tools that weren't American and respected my time and privacy. Fastmail has done exactly that. Fastmail is more than capable if you're looking to step away from the big tech oligopolies. You don't need to sacrifice usability, because Fastmail isn't trying to be clever. It just does its job well.

Archer Aviation Is Linking Up With the FAA in a Victory for eVTOLs. Should You Buy ACHR Stock Here?
Archer Aviation (ACHR) is gaining on news that it is coordinating with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) to harmonize eVTOL rollouts in multiple nations. The statement, at the Paris Air Show, unveils a worldwide coalition with the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada — collaborating to establish a single worldwide certification regimen. The coalition was touted by CEO Adam Goldstein as 'a step towards bringing our Midnight aircraft to skies around the world.' This breakthrough reflects its efforts to introduce electric aircraft to commercial airspace, also recently supported by a U.S. executive order in favor of eVTOL testing and pilots. CoreWeave Just Revealed the Largest-Ever Nvidia Blackwell GPU Cluster. Should You Buy CRWV Stock? AMD Is Gunning for Nvidia's AI Chip Throne. Should You Buy AMD Stock Now? The Saturday Spread: Statistical Signals Flash Green for CMG, TMUS and VALE Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! ACHR is picking up steam on multiple fronts: commercial relationships, AI acceptance, and expansion worldwide. ACHR remains sector leader, up over 220% in the past year. Archer Aviation (ACHR) is a California-based firm that is conceptualizing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with a concentration primarily on urban air mobility. Archer, with a market cap of nearly $5.6 billion, is one of the relatively few eVTOL startups with over $1 billion in cash and deep partnerships led by United Airlines (UAL) and Stellantis (STLA). ACHR stock has increased by 224% over the past 12 months, far outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX). The stock touched a high of $13.92 during 2025 and remains extremely volatile, as its 52-week low is $2.82. Valuation-wise, Archer is currently trading at 5.54x price-book and 0.06x debt-equity. Since revenue is zero for the time being — as is typical for a company that hasn't commercialized yet — its enterprise value of $4.8 billion indicates tremendous investor belief in its future earning ability, especially with its growing backlog and high-margin commercialization strategy. Archer reported a Q1 2025 GAAP net loss of $93.4 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $109 million, just slightly better than feared. Operating expenses were $144 million and adjusted operating expenses were $113 million. Archer now controls over $1 billion in cash, so it now has the best balance sheet in the eVTOL space. For the future, management predicts losses in Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $100 million to $120 million. Investors are looking toward commercial milestones, and not profitability, despite ongoing losses. Recent news includes a firm summer delivery timeline for the company's first Midnight aircraft to the UAE. Abu Dhabi Aviation and Ethiopian Airlines are the first customers under the 'Launch Edition' program, designed to create a repeatable commercialization platform. Separately, Archer announced a strategic collaboration with Palantir (PLTR) to together create flight software and future aviation systems. The collaboration would enable Archer to gain a technological edge as it makes the transition from test flying to commercial operations. According to Barchart data, Archer Aviation has a 'Moderate Buy' consensus rating. Archer Aviation is covered by various analysts at present, and the majority of them are still bullish despite increased commercial traction. Its average price target is $11.94, good for 19% of potential gain. The high and low targets are $18.00 and $4.50, respectively, signs of wide disagreement due to commercialization risk, execution, and the need for eventual financing down the road.
