The Debrief: Power and energy

technologyreview.com Mat Honan 2025-08-30 15:00:00

Yet in many ways right now the US seems to be forgetting those lessons. It is moving backward in terms of its clean-energy strategy, especially when it comes to powering the grid, in ways that will affect the nation for decades to come—even as China and others are surging forward. 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

AI Is Turbocharging Global Inequality

As the AI race shows no signs of slowing down, it's clear which countries started in pole position — and are poised to hold onto their lead. "Artificial intelligence has created a new digital divide," warns the New York Times in new reporting, "fracturing the world between nations with the computing power for building cutting-edge AI systems and those without."

Apple heard your complaints about the Liquid Glass Control Center

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. My biggest complaint with Liquid Glass in the first iOS 26 developer beta was that it sometimes made Control Center nearly unreadable, but Apple has seemingly fixed that with the second beta, which is out now. In the first beta, the glassiness of everything meant that you could still see a fair amount of what was under Control Center, making it all look really cluttered. With

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. However, early iOS 26 testers, somewhat unfairly, were quic

Apple tweaks Control Center visibility in iOS 26 beta 2

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-03 00:59:50

Apple was quick to address what was by far one of the biggest complaints from the first iOS 26 developer beta: Control Center contrast. With beta 2, released earlier today, Apple seems to have tweaked it for better visibility. When Apple introduced the new Control Center UI at WWDC25, the overall design direction looked promising, thanks to the broader Liquid Glass UI overhaul. But there was one glaring usability issue: contrast. In beta 1, many noted that opening Control Center would often le

While COVID-19 transmission remains low in the US, health experts are anxious about the potential for a big summer wave as two factors seem set for a collision course: a lull in infection activity that suggests protective responses have likely waned in the population, and a new SARS-CoV-2 variant with an infectious advantage over other variants.
