What Is Apple One? A Breakdown of Plans, Pricing, and Included Services

wired.com Simon Hill 2025-08-14 00:00:00

Big tech companies are always looking for new ways to tie us into their ecosystems, but there is something to be said for the simplicity of a single monthly subscription. Apple One bundles several Apple services into one payment, which is cheaper than subscribing to the same services individually. If you already subscribe to Apple Fitness+ and News+, it’s a great deal for you. The question is whether it can entice anyone using a mix of first- and third-party services to switch completely to Appl

Republican lawmakers have proposed major changes to student loans, which would affect current and future borrowers. Liudmila Chernetska/Getty Images/CNET Congress is one step closer to passing federal student loan changes in the Republican-led "One Big Beautiful Bill." The Senate narrowly passed its version of the budget bill earlier this week, and it is now back in the House.

Let’s start with fusion: Google’s deal with Commonwealth Fusion Systems is intended to provide the tech giant with 200 megawatts of power. This will come from Commonwealth’s first commercial plant, a facility planned for Virginia that the company refers to as the Arc power plant. The agreement represents half its capacity. What’s important to note here is that this power plant doesn’t exist yet. In fact, Commonwealth still needs to get its Sparc demonstration reactor, located outside Boston, up

Sit down. Shut up. Listen. You don’t know nothing yet. “Trees” are not a coherent phylogenetic category.

‘Death Wish’ Planet Actively Triggers Destructive Flares From Its Host Star

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-08-16 00:00:29

A young, energetic star has had just about enough of its clingy planet. The pair are mired in a toxic relationship, with the planet sending waves of energy toward the star—and the host star is responding with violent explosions that are destroying its planet over time. Using the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Cheops mission, a team of astronomers from the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy gathered evidence for the first known exoplanet with an apparent death wish.

The new directive came from NASA's senior leadership on Monday, which is acting on behalf of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
