In Brief AI storage platform Vast Data is in talks with Alphabet’s venture arm CapitalG and existing backer Nvidia to raise a fresh round that could value the startup at up to $30 billion, Reuters reported, citing two sources. TechCrunch reported last month that Vast Data was working to raise funds at a $25 billion valuation. The round could close in the next few weeks, per Reuters, which would make New York-based Vast Data — last valued at $9.1 billion in 2023 — one of the most valuable tech

Plenty of startups have popped up to help homeowners tackle electrification projects, including installing solar panels and replacing gas furnaces with heat pumps.

I tried iOS 26 as an Android user, and my biggest issue has nothing to do with Liquid Glass

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’m a Pixel guy, have been for years — everyone knows it. So, you can imagine I was pretty pleased when Google unveiled Material 3 Expressive, and it looked like a refinement of the Pixel UI design that I already loved. And then came Apple with its new Liquid Glass interface as part of iOS 26. Simply put, I thought it looked awful. It was hard to read, and the original glass effects looked clunky.

Samsung’s 60W Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade is exciting, but I have concerns

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-13 17:00:28

As a proponent of fast charging convenience, the report that Samsung will increase the power of next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra to 60W is music to my ears. The current 45W power level is already in a sweet spot, taking just under an hour to fully charge the phone. Still, that extra boost will undoubtedly come in handy when you need to bring the phone back from the brink quickly. More juice in fewer minutes is always welcome when you’re in a hurry.

AI Won’t Boost Human Productivity Yet, U.S. Federal Reserve Says

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r
