And that retreat is taking place just as electricity demand and usage are growing again after being flat for nearly two decades. That growth, according to the US Energy Information Administration, is “coming from the

Why I always put my phone face down on a table - and it's not just about being polite

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET A friend of mine recently told me, "I always keep my phone on silent mode… which doesn't matter because I compulsively look at it every three minutes anyway." He's not the only one.

I've tested every single Galaxy S25 phone - and my favorite isn't the flagship model

Kerry Wan/ZDNET At Amazon, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus is on sale for $800. Act fast, this is a limited-time deal. The "middle child" often gets a bad rap, but the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, which sits right between the smaller S25 and more-capable S25 Ultra, flips the script. Because after just a few days of use, it's quickly become my favorite model of the three.

This Handheld Gaming Device Has Promise, but One Fatal Flaw Holds It Back
