As long as you're looking at the night sky, August has a ton of cool stuff going on this year. Among those is the full moon, also known as the Sturgeon Moon. It's the last full moon of the summer, and it's coming on Aug. 9. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the full moon will reach its peak brightness at 3:55 a.m. ET on Aug. 9. Thus, if you want to see the moon at its brightest, you'll want to look up the evening of Aug. 8 and on into the next morning. It's not a big deal if you miss it, a

Welcome to Regulator

theverge.com Tina Nguyen 2025-12-09 21:46:31

You’ll often see tech policy reporting described as the intersection of technology and politics, and for years, that was a pretty accurate description: Silicon Valley existed independent of Washington politics, and every so often, they’d cross paths, discuss some regulatory concern, write a check, shake hands, and then go their separate ways. This is no longer the case. Tech and politics have violently crashed into each other, and the leaders from both sides are locked in an existential fight t

Survey reveals what you really think of Pixel 10 with built-in Qi2 magnets

The Pixel 10 series launches later this month, and recent leaks suggest that Google will finally bring Qi2 magnetic wireless charging to these phones via built-in magnets. Google wouldn’t be the first Android OEM to offer this support (hello, HMD), but it’s still a major expansion of the tech. Colleague Joe Maring says this leak has convinced him to buy a Pixel 10 phone. But what do readers think of this technology on the Pixel 10 series? We asked, and here’s what you told us.

5 settings I changed on my TV to greatly reduced my electricity bill - and why they work

According to Perch Energy, the average power consumption of an old TV runs around $54 per year in energy costs.

Android really needs a better definition of fast charging, here’s how I’d fix it

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Maybe it’s just the sheer number of phones that cross my desk, but I have a love-hate relationship with USB-C. It’s great that I can charge my headphones, laptop, and latest Android smartphones with the same plug, but figuring out whether my gadgets are actually charging optimally is often just a matter of shrugging and hoping for the best. As I’ve whined about countless times, USB-C still has too many different flavors for fast charging. Whether that’s propr

This new Android security feature could interfere with fast charging, and here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 22:30:09

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s upcoming USB Protection feature enhances security by defaulting new USB connections to charging-only when the device is locked. This security measure may interfere with fast charging, as many protocols require data negotiation between the phone and the charger to work. If your phone isn’t fast charging, a simple workaround is to unlock the device and then reconnect the USB cable. Of all the new features in Android 16, Advanced Protection

Last week, the EPA made lots of headlines by rejecting the document that establishes its ability to regulate the greenhouse gases that are warming our climate. While the legal assault on regulations grabbed most of the attention, it was paired with two other actions that targeted other aspects of climate change: the science underlying our current understanding of the dramatic warming the Earth is experiencing, and the renewable energy that represents our best chance of limiting this warming.

Tesla co-founder JB Straubel is using old EV batteries to power AI data centers

As demand for energy skyrockets amid the rise of AI, one of Tesla 's co-founders is betting on a new solution: giving old electric vehicle batteries a second-life. JB Straubel, who helped launch Tesla and served as its tech chief until 2019, founded Redwood Materials in 2017 to recycle batteries and build a closed-loop supply chain for EVs. But as Redwood started receiving more EV batteries, the startup noticed that most still had usable capacity. Rather than recycle those batteries, Redwood is

Instead, Curiosity and its younger sibling Perseverance each use their MMRTG nuclear power source, which relies on decaying plutonium pellets to create energy and recharge the rover’s batteries. Providing ample power for the rovers’ many science instruments, MMRTGs are known for their longevity (the twin Voyager spacecraft have relied on RTGs since 1977). But as the plutonium decays over time, it takes longer to recharge Curiosity’s batteries, leaving less energy for science each day. The team

Electricity Prices are Going Up, and AI Is to Blame

Your electricity bill has likely gone up over the course of the past year. That’s because you’re effectively paying an AI tax. According to a report from Axios, the cost of electricity is climbing across the country, driven primarily by the increasing energy demands of massive data centers being built to train and run AI models. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed the cost of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity rose from 16.41 cents to 17.47 cents over the course of the past
