Pixel 10 leak hints it’s getting the magnetic Qi2 charging you’ve been waiting for

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-25 20:57:09

TL;DR A leak has provided new renders and details about the Pixel 10 series and some of its accessories. One of the renders shows a caseless Pixel 10 with a Qi2 charger attached. This would suggest that the Pixel 10 series will have magnets built in. With all of the Pixel 10 leaks that have surfaced in the last couple of weeks, you would think that there wouldn’t be anything left to spoil. But it turns out that belief was wrong. Another leak has popped up, and it appears to support the existe

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-25 20:24:16

On Monday, Mayor Patrick Collins of Cheyenne, Wyoming, announced plans for an AI data center that would consume more electricity than all homes in the state combined, according to the Associated Press. The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use. The project's energy demands are difficult to overstate for Wyoming, the least populous US state. The initial

After delivering all but the finishing blow to Elon Musk's electric vehicle empire with cutting-edge companies like BYD and Li Auto, Chinese industrialists are now setting their sights on the South African billionaire's robotics ambitions.

‘3 Body Problem’ Season 2 Just Took a Step Forward

Netflix’s dazzling and complex Liu Cixin adaptation 3 Body Problem was one of io9’s top TV shows of 2024. After its first season, we still had lots of questions about what would happen next—there’s the small matter of that impending alien invasion, for one thing—so it was good news when creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo confirmed two more seasons were on the way. But that was over a year ago. Since then, we’ve heard nary a peep about what’s going on with 3 Body Problem—until

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the bedrock of modern digital security. Its principle is simple and powerful. As Wikipedia defines it, MFA is: an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more distinct types of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism.

The U.S. Could Lose a Crucial Futuristic Telescope to Spain if Trump’s Budget Passes

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-26 20:40:22

Spain has offered to spend up to €400 million ($471 million) to host the Thirty Meter Telescope, an enormous observatory project facing imminent cancellation due to U.S. budget constraints. If Spain strikes a deal, the TMT would be built on La Palma in the Canary Islands rather than on Mauna Kea, a mountain in Hawaii. In 2016, La Palma became the backup location for the observatory in case the primary site in Hawaii didn’t work out as an option, according to the TMT International Observatory. N

Nuclear Winter Would Be Even Worse Than We Thought
