US Streetlights Are Turning Purple

news.ycombinator.com Karen Kwon 2026-03-12 22:04:40

American cities and towns started switching their streetlights from sodium lamps to LEDs about 15 years ago, which changed the color of many nighttime roads from yellowish orange to bright white. But lately an odd new nocturnal color has been spotted across the nation—and the globe. Anecdotal reports of purple-looking streetlights have been popping up since early 2021 in states including Florida, Utah, Texas and Massachusetts, as well as in Canada and Ireland.

The MacBook Air is the obvious loser as the sun sets on the Intel Mac era

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-16 19:36:28

For the last three years, we've engaged in some in-depth data analysis and tea-leaf reading to answer two questions about Apple's support for older Macs that still use Intel chips. First, was Apple providing fewer updates and fewer years of software support to Macs based on Intel chips as it worked to transition the entire lineup to its internally developed Apple Silicon? And second, how long could Intel Mac owners reasonably expect to keep getting updates? The answer to the first question has

How Tesla Takedown got its start

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-16 19:56:54

On a sunny April afternoon in Seattle, around 40 activists gathered at the Pine Box, a beer and pizza bar in the sometimes scruffy Capitol Hill neighborhood. The group had reserved a side room attached to the outside patio; before remarks began, attendees flowed in and out, enjoying the warm day. Someone set up a sound system. Then the activists settled in, straining their ears as the streamed call crackled through less-than-perfect speakers. In more than a decade of climate organizing, it was

Tinder has officially launched a new feature that will help you find people to double date with a friend. The dating service says it's a "low-pressure, group-first" way to date, but really, it's a fantastic option if you prefer meeting someone new with a friend beside you, whether for your safety or your anxiety.

Nissan provided flights from Detroit to Los Angeles and accommodation so Ars could be briefed on the next Leaf. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. The first-generation Nissan Leaf was an incredible achievement for the company and for the industry. A mass-market EV that wasn't priced out of reach was something the industry needed at the time.

The Nissan Leaf Is Back And Looking to Make Up Lost Ground

wired.com John Voelcker 2026-03-16 23:00:00

Finally, after 15 years, we have a new 2026 Nissan Leaf coming. As befits the ‘truckification’ of global car markets, it’s no longer a compact hatchback. Now, it’s a compact SUV—or, more accurately, a crossover utility vehicle built on passenger-vehicle underpinnings. The new Leaf will offer a range of up to 303 miles, Nissan says, from a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack, powering a 160-kilowatt (214-horsepower) motor that produces 261 lb-ft (354 Newton-meters) of torque.

The complaint also accuses Apple of not allowing third-party cloud services to access certain files, and preventing them from offering a “full-service” storage that competes with iCloud.
