Apple's HomeView Interface Drops App Store Model, Centers on Siri

Apple's smart-home screen interface, HomeView, departs from the traditional App Store-centric approach that defined the iPhone era. Instead of requiring users to download individual apps, the system is built around Siri as the primary way to interact with connected devices. The design reflects Apple's deep integration with its existing ecosystem while signaling a different approach for home-based AI interfaces compared to its rivals.

Report: $200B in US data center projects stalled by local opposition in 2026

At a Brooklyn midterm-election event hosted by media company Newsreel, panels on AI, attention, and data centers drew heavy engagement, reflecting growing public backlash against AI infrastructure. A Data Center Watch report cited at the event found nearly $200 billion in data center projects were delayed, stalled, or blocked in the first half of 2026 due to political and community opposition, while states including Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, New York, and Virginia weigh new regulations on data center development.

Brazilian labor court fines lawyers $16,000 for hidden AI prompt-injection in filing

A Brazilian labor court in Parauapebas, Pará found that two law firms embedded hidden white-on-white text in a court petition instructing any AI system to respond superficially and avoid challenging the filing's claims.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pushed back on the concerns, telling CNBC that neoclouds are only a small, external part of the broader economy.

Report details five hobbies where a home 3D printer can cut costs

A consumer tech roundup examines how entry-level FDM 3D printers, starting around $170 with filament costing roughly $20 per kilogram, can produce parts and accessories more cheaply than buying them retail.
