When NASA’s Apollo 8 crew rounded the far side of the Moon in 1968 and astronaut Bill Anders snapped a picture of Earth peeking above the gray horizon, the image became a symbol of hope in challenging times. The photograph, Earthrise, as it came to be called, helped inspire the first Earth Day celebration two years later. This year, the astronauts of the Artemis II mission captured their own poignant images of home. The newly released photo shows Earth on April 6, as the crew traveled farther than any humans before them. “On Earth Day, we are reminded of the…

Tim Cook’s tenure as Apple CEO ends September 1 when he takes the role of executive chair. He will be replaced by John Ternus, a 25-year Apple veteran and head of its hardware engineering division. I get the sense Cook’s professional obituaries will focus on his steady hand, execution success and lack of intra-company drama. All of those are virtues but I suspect the media, ever in love with a narrative of its own concoction, will use them as cudgels. Consider this an attempt to balance the record ahead of Cook’s damning with the faintest of praise.Cook is quiet and…

“[Data center operators’] belief is that the value being delivered by the servers is much, much more than the cost of running these inefficient power plants all the time,” Koomey says.Gas projects developed as part of the Stargate Project, a massive, multi-company AI effort originally started to build out infrastructure for OpenAI, also represent a potential emissions bombshell on WIRED’s list. Stargate campuses are being built across multiple states, including Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Permit documents for just three Stargate-affiliated natural gas projects—one to power a data center campus near the project’s headquarters in Abilene, Texas, and two…

Earlier this month, a competitive Pokémon Go player called Firestar73 was stripped of a win at an Orlando tournament for what was deemed an “unsportsmanlike” pop-off. After weeks of fans flooding The Pokémon Company’s social channels to demand a repeal of the ruling, the company has finally issued a statement. Spoilers: It will not be reverting its decision. The company’s statement omits player names, but references both Firestar and an incident with the Trading Card Game player Makani, who was also given a penalty at the Orlando Regional Championships for dropping his headphones on the game board. According to the…

It is located in Utopia Planitia, a roughly 2,000-mile-wide (3,300 kilometers) plain in Mars’ northern hemisphere.NASA’s Viking probes first photographed the blackened ground in 1976, shortly after…

Raptor Lake is Here to Stay If you are frustrated with the cost of DDR5, one of the alternatives – other than socket AM4 from AMD – is to stick with the older, but still readily available, Intel LGA1700. Not only are there DDR4 boards available which support 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs, but those processors themselves remain in production – and will continue to be for some time. After seeing the headline at our favorite website about video cards, we visited the source (Club386) to see exactly what Intel’s Robert Hallock had to say about Raptor Lake. And…
