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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 02:57:09

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.

‘Predator: Badlands’ Came From a Desire to Do Something New, With a Dash of ‘Star Wars’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-30 02:20:54

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg did something no one ever thought was possible. He took a beloved franchise, Predator, and flipped it on its head. By giving it a fresh perspective and a new timeline, he took something old and brought it into the now. For his follow-up, he wanted to do that again, but it was difficult. Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a

AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-30 02:24:16

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

Delta's New AI-Powered Pricing Strategy Delta Air Lines is embarking on a bold experiment in airfare pricing. At a recent investor presentation, the airline announced plans to expand its use of artificial intelligence for setting ticket prices to cover 20% of its U.S. domestic flights by the end of 2025. This move comes after limited tests last year (affecting ~1% of fares) and a current rollout on about 3% of tickets, with early results described as "amazingly favorable" for revenue. Delta is

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. Earlier this week, the Hangzhou-based tech company Unitree Robotics launched what Bloomberg calls one of the world's "first humanoid robots for under $6,000," the Unitree R1, at the relatively low price of just $5,900.

A Periodic Table of System Design Principles

Towards a Periodic Table of System Design Principles System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains.

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

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
