The globe likely breezed past 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels this year, crashing through the 2016 Paris Agreement’s aspirational target. Further warming increases the risk of catastrophic consequences, including more frequent extreme droughts, floods, and fires; stronger hurricanes; faster-spreading infectious diseases; and declining wildlife and fish populations. A host of carbon-capture startups hope to reverse this trend by removing large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. One of those startups, Heirloom Carbon, announced on Wednesday that it had raised $150 million in Series B funding to help scale up its carbon-removal technology. The startup is betting that by building…
After weeks of anticipation, some Spotify users are left underwhelmed by the streamer’s personalized year-in-review feature, Spotify Wrapped — with many even going so far as to call it “boring” or a “flop.” Chief among the complaints are that Spotify prioritized the inclusion of an AI podcast for Wrapped over the other, clever and creative data stories that it typically offers — like those that identify your music personality, match you to a town that shares your musical tastes, describe your “audio aura,” or turn your listening history into a game you can share with friends, among other things. Others are upset over…
In the early days of gaming, you would take the blocky sprites you were given and you would appreciate them, darn it. These days? Character creators are practically a game in and of themselves (my wife usually spends the first couple of hours of any title making her player).

The Veilguard‘s character creator is already live on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with PC access rolling out throughout the day, according to Dragon Age’s post…

It’s heavily suggested that we’ll be seeing the next iteration of Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone SE in 2025, likely sometime in the first couple of months.

Over the years, various rumors have indicated that Apple plans to integrate Face ID technology into the display of a future iPhone.

This innovation might finally eliminate the need for the notorious iPhone notch/pill cutout that…
Get ready to spend big if you plan on scoring one of the best graphics cards or best processors. According to Jon Peddie Research, the PC market could be headed for a “recession” due to proposed tariffs on several countries, which are said to go into effect shortly after Donald Trump becomes president on January 20. The quote comes from JPR’s third-quarter GPU market study. Market share has shifted a bit; CPU shipments are up by 12%, but there really isn’t much to write home about—short of the tariffs. “AMD and Intel released new CPUs, and there was some pent-up…
Two U.S. senators are accusing the Department of Defense of not doing enough to protect the communications of its military personnel, as the U.S. government contends with an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign targeting American phone and internet giants. The senators say the Department of Defense still relies too heavily on old fashioned landline calls, and unencrypted cellular calls and texts, which are vulnerable to snooping by foreign spies. Democratic Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon and Republican Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri specifically point to threats, such as the Chinese government espionage group known as Salt Typhoon, which was recently accused…
