wired.com Beth Mole 2025-09-07 22:07:40

Last year, under the Biden administration, the Environmental Protection Agency took a long-awaited step to ban the last type of asbestos still used in the US—chrysotile asbestos, aka “white asbestos.” While use of chrysotile asbestos was on the decline, the dangerous mineral has lingered in various gaskets, brake

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T‑Mobile is shaking up its prepaid offerings with three plans, ranging from $40 to $60 per month for one line. The new plans largely look like an upgrade, but there are a few possible catches around prioritization and family discounts. The new plans look similar to what you’ll find from other prepaid plans based on T-Mobile’s network, though whether they are better or not remains unseen until we know a bit more. Earlier this year, T-Mobile unveiled its ne

Trump Mobile is a bad deal

is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade. Trump Mobile launched this morning with a single prepaid wireless plan and the promise of nationwide coverage for $47.45 per month.

The EPA Wants to Roll Back Emissions Controls on Power Plants

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-09-18 19:36:25

The US Environmental Protection Agency moved to roll back emissions standards for power plants, the second-largest source of CO 2 emissions in the country, on Wednesday, claiming that the American power sector does not “contribute significantly” to air pollution. “The bottom line is that the EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says Ryan Maher, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-03 13:20:21

Apple and Lenovo had the lowest laptop repairability scores in an analysis of recently released devices from consumer advocacy group US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund. While Apple's low marks are partially due the difficulty involved in disassembling MacBooks, Lenovo appears to be withholding information from shoppers deemed critical to right-to-repair legislation and accessibility. The report, US PIRG's fourth annual “Failing the Fix” [PDF], calculated repairability score
