Redwood Materials launches energy storage business and its first target is AI data centers

Tucked between two massive buildings in the hills of the Nevada desert, 805 retired EV batteries lie in neat formation, each one wrapped in nondescript white tarps — and hiding in plain sight. A passerby might not realize this unassuming array is the largest microgrid in North America, that it’s powering a 2,000 GPU modular data center for AI infrastructure company Crusoe, or that it represents the next big act of JB Straubel, the co-founder and CEO of Redwood Materials.

Why a16z VC believes that Cluely, the ‘cheat on everything’ startup, is the new blueprint for AI startups

When Cluely, a startup claiming to be building a product that helps people “cheat” on everything, announced that it raised a $15 million Series A financing from Andreessen Horowitz, some people on X criticized the VC firm for backing the controversial company. After all, Cluely isn’t just offering a product that may have questionable uses, but the startup has become famous for using what many people call rage-bait marketing.

Facing Rising Seas, Thousands in Tuvalu Seek an Escape Through Australia

As rising sea levels gradually swallow the world’s low-lying island nations, many citizens will have no choice but to leave their homes behind. In Tuvalu, one of the world’s most climate-threatened archipelagos, the migration has already begun. Nearly a third of Tuvalu’s roughly 11,000 residents are seeking Australian visas to escape the encroaching waters. In 2023, Australia announced that it would launch these visas as part of a bilateral treaty it signed with Tuvalu—the world’s first to crea

Anthropic summons the spirit of Flash games for the AI age

On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a new feature that expands its Artifacts document management system into the basis of a personal AI app gallery resembling something from the Flash game era of the early 2000s—though these apps run on modern web code rather than Adobe's defunct plugin. Using plain English dialogue, users can build and share interactive applications directly within Claude's chatbot interface using a new API capability that lets artifacts interact with Claude itself. Claude is an

Five days and a few border crossings later, the sneakers resurfaced in a second-hand shop near

People use AI for companionship much less than we’re led to believe

The overabundance of attention paid to how people are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support, sometimes even striking up relationships, often leads one to think such behavior is commonplace. A new report by Anthropic, which makes the popular AI chatbot Claude, reveals a different reality: In fact, people rarely seek out companionship from Claude and turn to the bot for emotional support and personal advice only 2.9% of the time. “Companionship and roleplay combined comprise less than 0.5

Easier not being green: Why I ditched Bissell for the Tineco CARPET ONE Cruiser

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’ll admit it — I’m pretty new to the carpet life. Having spent most of my adulthood in apartment buildings, I just accepted laminate and tile as ways of life. Now that I live in a house, though, I have a couple of new surfaces to worry about. I have rugs from room to room and carpet throughout my living area, and I’ve quickly learned that a weekly pass with a vacuum is like trying to fight a fire with a teacup. So, I decided it was time to venture into the wide

The $177 million AT&T data breach settlement could mean a payout for you - how to qualify

NurPhoto/Getty Images If you're a current or former AT&T customer, a new class action settlement means you might be in line for a little cash. Earlier this year, the company confirmed two major data breaches -- one from 2019 or earlier and one from 2024. The stolen data, which ultimately ended up for sale on the dark web, included social security numbers, names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and more.

Shark AI Ultra Voice-Controlled Robot Vacuum for 50% Off, Now 3x Cheaper Than Dyson’s Robot Vac

Keeping your floors clean is one of those things that never really ends. You could be tidying up crumbs from breakfast, dirt tracked in from outside, or pet hair that seems to multiply overnight. It doesn’t matter what you’re dealing with. Those messes always seem to come back just as fast as you clean them. And if vacuuming isn’t exactly how you want to spend your free time, you’re not alone. That’s why robot vacuums are so popular. And if you think they’re too expensive to buy, you might not h

The Galaxy Watch 8 may ruin my favorite thing about Samsung smartwatches

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Leaks don’t usually take the wind out of my sails, but the latest details about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch lineup came close. According to renders posted by trusted leaker Evan Blass, the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 will each feature the same squircle design that debuted with the original Galaxy Watch Ultra, and, to put it softly, that’s a massive disappointment. I wasn’t a fan of the Ultra’s shape at launch (o

Hackers turn ScreenConnect into malware using Authenticode stuffing

When a ScreenConnect installer is built, it can be customized to include the remote server the client should connect to, what text is shown in the di

Why Pay for a DualSense When This Luna Controller Costs Half the Price for Early Prime Day?

Amazon may not be the first name that comes to mind for gaming, but it’s definitely a major player in the industry. With Twitch at the heart of streaming and its own cloud gaming service, Luna, Amazon is everywhere for gamers. The company has also designed a controller specifically for Luna but it’s far more than just a cloud gaming accessory. In fact, most people use the Luna Controller as a universal gamepad for a wide range of devices—PCs, Sony PlayStation, Xbox, and more. Right now, the Lu

Getty drops key copyright claims against Stability AI, but UK lawsuit continues

Getty Images dropped its primary claims of copyright infringement against Stability AI on Wednesday at London’s High Court, narrowing one of the most closely watched legal fights over how AI companies use copyrighted content to train their models.

Hackers abuse Microsoft ClickOnce and AWS services for stealthy attacks

A sophisticated malicious campaign that researchers call OneClik has been leveraging Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors.

Cargo Ship Carrying Flaming EVs Sinks Off the Coast of Alaska
