7 common household devices to unplug to save money on your electricity bill

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-12-12 06:14:00

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Costs are steadily rising in the US, and energy costs are a prominent example. This is made worse by summer temperatures being at record highs, with heat waves wreaking havoc across various states in the past few weeks. As someone who's gone through a few of these this summer alone, I'm constantly looking for ways to conserve energy. There are many little things you can do that can shave dollars off your monthly energy bill, and they go beyond switching off the lights when you

If This Planet Is Real, It Would Break So Many Records

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-12 08:05:23

Exoplanet hunters have had an eye on Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to Earth at just four light-years away, for decades. We know that it consists of two Sun-like stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, as well as a faint red dwarf star, Proxima Centauri. But while researchers have previously discovered three exoplanets orbiting Proxima Centauri, the search for more worlds orbiting the system’s other two stars has proven difficult.

A Sonos Price Hike Is About to Make a Bad Situation Even Worse

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-12 08:12:48

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!). One thing I would not recommend doing when times are tough, however, is raising prices, but Sonos seems to have been forced into this exact scenario. According to Sonos’ newish CEO, Tom Conra

NASA Told to Overhaul Its Plans to Replace the International Space Station

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-12 08:27:23

For nearly 30 years, the International Space Station has played orbital home for astronauts from all over the world, but its time is running out. Slated to retire in 2030, NASA is aiming to replace it with a privately-run station that can host its astronauts in space when needed. And now under pressure to get a new station up and running fast and within a slashed budget, NASA’s current head—U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—is completely overhauling the agency’s plans to replace the ISS.

About five years from now, a modified Dragon spacecraft will begin to fire its Draco thrusters, pushing the International Space Station out of its orbit and sending the largest object humans have built in space inexorably to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And then what? China’s Tiangong Space Station will still be going strong. NASA, however, faces a serious risk of losing its foothold in low-Earth orbit.

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from

The Emperor's New Trade Deal – Paul Krugman

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European
