Trump Promised to ‘Drill, Baby, Drill.’ The New Rigs Are Nowhere to Be Found

wired.com Deep Vakil 2025-12-16 03:00:00

This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. “We will drill, baby, drill,” President Donald Trump declared at his inauguration on January 20. Echoing the slogan that exemplified his energy policies during the campaign, he made his message clear: more oil and gas, lower prices, greater exports. Six months into Trump’s second term, his administration has little to show on that score. Output is ticking up, but slower than it did under the Bi

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Our smartphones have undergone profound commodification. But in the process of forging them into objects we use and rely on for nearly every waking hour, phone companies have focused a lot on optimizing utility, which, in turn, has resulted in many key features being dropped from our beloved devices.

We also saw glimpses of app sharing, which could allow you to access apps installed on other devices.

Microsoft is ending support for its ChromeOS competitor Windows 11 SE. The company will officially stop providing "software updates, technical assistance and security fixes" in October 2026, according to an updated support document spotted by NeoWin.

theverge.com Jacob Kastrenakes 2025-12-17 03:16:36

Fujifilm has raised prices on cameras and lenses across its lineup, with price hikes reaching into the hundreds of dollars. Among the hikes is an increase to the price of Fuji’s ultra-popular X100VI from $1,599 to $1,799. The capable X-T5 has gone from $1,699 to $1,899. And the already very expensive GFX100 II has gone from $7,499 to $8,299 — an $800 increase. Increases to lens prices appear to be somewhat more modest, with bumps in the $50 to $150 range.

Over the past few years, Apple has made some progress on self-service repairability, following years of criticism over how tightly it locks down its devices. Now, a new report questions how much Apple really is complying with right-to-repair regulations.

Why Nintendo didn’t raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-12-17 08:00:00

Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk.
