The proliferation of AI data centers plugging into the national electrical grid has helped increase consumer electricity prices, driving up the average national electricity price by more than 6% in the last year. That’s not a good look for the incumbents ahead of this fall’s elections, and President Donald Trump addressed the challenge in his State of the Union speech last night. “We’re telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation to provide for their own power needs,” Trump said. “They can build their own power plants as part of their factory, so that no one’s prices will…

It’s been almost five years and you can still trace so much of what’s gone wrong for the Los Angeles Lakers back to the Russell Westbrook trade. It was the last time they truly went all-in on the LeBron James-Anthony Davis core, and when the deal went south, there was no shortage of reporting about the role their two superstars played in making the trade happen. Ever since, there’s been a perpetual sense of kicking the can down the road.When they failed to make a win-now move at the 2022 deadline, President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka said “you can’t…

For more than six decades, the Peace Corps has represented itself as an agency focused on helping underserved communities around the globe.

Take the classic Burberry trench, for example. A quintessential hallmark of city life in the capital, it takes on new flair when paired with a fringe skirt set and poppy red socks—a lesson in late-winter personality dressing. Elsewhere, insiders turned up the sartorial volume on blue…

If you live in the U.S., chances are you’ve heard of “the big one.” For years, scientists have warned that this catastrophic earthquake is long overdue and poised to strike the West Coast, but new research suggests otherwise. A study published February 11 in the journal Science Advances undermines the long-held assumption that major earthquakes follow predictable cycles. Instead, the findings show that these quakes occur over irregular intervals, arriving in bursts and disappearing in long lulls. “The ‘overdue’ myth is just that—a myth,” lead author Zakaria Ghazoui-Schaus, a paleoseismologist with the British Antarctic Survey, said in a statement. “Our…

Tecno just unveiled a rather intriguing at MWC 2026. The standout feature here is likely the size. Most modular smartphone concepts start bulky and only get bulkier once attaching accessories. Tecno’s base smartphone is just 4.9mm thin, which is significantly thinner than a pencil .Of course, the size increases with each attached module. However, snapping on the power bank module makes the thickness comparable to a standard modern smartphone. Another key feature here is how these various modular components stick together. Tecno has developed new interconnection technology that uses both magnets and pin connectors. This should make it easy to…
