Old technology can be really hard to get rid of. Whether it's a decades-old laptop, desktop or printer sitting around your home, you could probably use the space it's taking up. And there are easy and sustainable options for disposing of these if you're doing any spring cleaning right now. Worldwide, people are throwing away about five times more gadgets than are being recycled, according to a UN report last year. But throwing away your old devices is actually illegal, and can draw large fines

What just happened? Nvidia has announced plans to move the production of its AI supercomputers entirely to the United States, a strategy that reflects a broader industry shift in response to trade policies favoring domestic manufacturing. The initiative, which includes partnerships with major manufacturers, will see Nvidia's Blackwell chips and AI supercomputers produced and tested at facilities in Arizona and Texas. The project spans more than a million square feet of manufacturing space, with
