Ford Will Keep Battery Factory Even If Republicans Ax Tax Break

In addition to giving tax breaks to consumers who buy or lease electric cars and trucks, the Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits for automakers and suppliers that build battery plants in the United States. If the credits survive, they could offset about a quarter of the cost of the plant in Marshall, Ford executives said. The House version of the Republican bill would eliminate credits for plants that were built with materials or technology from China, Iran, North Korea or Russia. The

Tharon Green/CNET Though the housing market is never immune to political and economic volatility, mortgage rates have been eerily calm. Over the last month, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has moved in a narrow range between 6.8% and 7%.

Apple’s Liquid Glass interface improves with release of iOS 26 Beta 2

With Monday’s release of iOS 26 Beta 2, Apple has fixed one of the more glaring issues with Liquid Glass, its divisive new user interface design for the iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices, announced earlier this month at its WWDC 2025. The refreshed user interface modernizes the operating system’s look and feel with a design system inspired by the optical qualities of glass, including the way it refracts light and its translucency.

Choose wisely! The correct answer, the explanation, and an intriguing story await. Correct Answer: Jumpman Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto in the early 1980s while he was developing Donkey Kong, Nintendo's breakout arcade hit.

However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370.
