How Florida quietly surpassed California in solar growth

cnbc.com Lisa Setyon Jeniece Pettitt 2025-12-19 15:00:01

Solar energy is booming across the U.S. and, for the first time, Florida is catching up to industry powerhouses Texas and California. Despite removing climate change from its official state policy in 2024, Florida added more utility-scale solar than California last year, with over 3 gigawatts of new capacity coming online. "This is not a fluke," said Sylvia Leyva Martinez, senior analyst at Wood Mackenzie. "Florida is now shaping national solar growth." The surge is being driven by utilities,

Andy Walker / Android Authority Every modern smartphone has a capable camera system, and there’s a good chance that you regularly browse the images you capture with it. Most devices come with a brand-adjacent gallery app. I find that Samsung Gallery is one of the best in this regard. But what if you don’t own a Samsung and want a brand-agnostic option?

ThinkPad designer David Hill spills secrets, designs that never made it

Interview Launched in 1992, the boxy black ThinkPad with its little red nub remains the quintessential business productivity notebook. Unlike commercial offerings from competitors such as Dell and HP, Lenovo's laptop has a following of people who collect old models and celebrate each new innovation. If you bought a ThinkPad between 1995 and 2017, it was probably designed under the oversight of David W. Hill, who served as lead designer under both IBM and Lenovo for those 22 years. We caught up

Hiding secret codes in light protects against fake videos

news.ycombinator.com Patricia Waldron 2025-12-19 14:40:27

Fact-checkers may have a new tool in the fight against misinformation. A team of Cornell researchers has developed a way to “watermark” light in videos, which they can use to detect if video is fake or has been manipulated. The idea is to hide information in nearly-invisible fluctuations of lighting at important events and locations, such as interviews and press conferences or even entire buildings, like the United Nations Headquarters.

Tom Holland Just Gave Us a Proper Look at the ‘Brand New Day’ Spider Suit

Friday was Spider-Man Day (maybe), and to mark the occasion, Sony teased the hero’s new suit for his next movie, Brand New Day. Now, Tom Holland’s gone and shown the full thing. Most of it, at least. On his Instagram, the actor released a video this morning of him walking into a room, stepping into the light to display the new costume in its full glory as a new version of Michael Giacchinno’s Spider-Man theme plays. “We ready?” he asks to someone offscreen, before going off to shoot the movie.

The jury found Tesla liable for $200 million in punitive damages, plus an additional $43 million in compensatory damages. (Because of state laws, the company will likely end up paying less.)

Unreal Engine ray tracing stuttering in AMD RDNA 4 GPUs linked to Nvidia-optimized game code
