Here's your afternoon, TNB Tech Minute for Thursday, October 9th. I'm Zoe Colkin for the Wall Street Journal.

GM is bringing back a new model of its Chevrolet Bolt that it expects will make up most of its EV volume next year.

The 2027 model starts at around $30,000 and will begin shipping to customers early next year.

A more affordable version will be available later in the model year with the starting price of around $29,000.

GM stopped production of the Bold in

2003 after troubles with battery fires, sluggish sales, and recalls. The company said the

relaunch was driven by popular demand and aims to solidify its position in the affordable

EV space. The Trump administration in Saudi Arabia are making progress on an agreement to allow

U.S. chip companies to export semiconductors to the Gulf Nation. The two sides have been in

discussion since May and could finalize the deal soon. That's according to people familiar with

the matter. The chips would be used in data centers for training AI models, and they're a core part of the Trump administration's plans to export U.S. tech around the world.

And a new study suggests that as more tech companies tighten their return to office policies, the more job applicants are willing to accept a lower salary for remote or hybrid jobs.

The study by researchers at Harvard, Brown, and UCLA surveyed 1,400 workers,

most of them software engineers, product managers, and data scientists, who had multiple job offers

and accepted one between May 23 and the end of last year. Those who accepted a remote or hybrid

position on average accepted 25% less than what they were offered for a similar in-office position they rejected.
