The Download: Google DeepMind’s DNA AI, and heatwaves’ impact on the grid

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-03-02 12:10:00

When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t know what all those 3 billion genetic letters actually do. Now Google’s DeepMind division says it’s made a leap in trying to understand the code with AlphaGenome, an AI model that predicts what effects small changes in DNA will have on an array of molecular processes, such as whether a gene’s activity will go up or down. It’s just the sort of ques

Your favorite Google AI features just got a cheaper yearly price

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-02 12:18:32

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has introduced an annual subscription for its Google AI Pro (2TB) plan, costing $199.99 annually. This new annual option saves users approximately 16% ($40) compared to the monthly $19.99 plan. Higher-tier plans like the 5TB and above plans and the Google AI Ultra plan still require monthly billing options with no access to discounted annual rates.

The Website for Trump’s All-American Smartphone No Longer Promises It’s ‘MADE IN THE USA’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-03-02 12:43:04

Earlier this month, the Trump Organization revealed its latest profit-making scheme: the T1, a golden iPhone knockoff that has aptly been dubbed the “Trump phone.” Alongside the new device, the Trumps launched a wireless mobile network called T1 Mobile, which purports to offer unlimited talk, text, and data. Given that Trump is the “America First” president, it was very on-brand for the company to promise that the devices would be manufactured domestically. Given that manufacturing a functioning

The Switch 2 Pro Controller Makes a Comfortable Upgrade, but Still Falls a Bit Short

The Switch 2 Pro Controller is a standalone controller that pairs with the new Switch 2 and provides a more comfortable gaming experience than the standard Joy-Cons. While it might look similar to the old model, the second-gen controller has a number of new features to help it earn that "Pro" title. The 2 Pro retails for $85 -- a pretty significant jump over the original's $70. The good news is that, if you want to save some money, the Switch 1 Pro Controllers do work on the Switch 2. Since it'

Tovala Meal Kit and Oven Review (2025): We're Nearing Robot Chef

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2026-03-02 12:13:00

Tovala is the only meal kit I know of that comes with its own oven—and I speak as someone who has tested a lot of meal kits and also ovens. Still, the idea isn't merely wacky. The biggest pitfall of pre-prepared meal delivery is almost always the microwave, as I noted in my review of HelloFresh's often delicious but sometimes soggy Factor meals. These almost always benefited from an improvised turn in the air fryer. And so the brainstorm on Tovala is both sophisticated and simple. Make mostly p
