The Working Families Party said Thursday that it is putting out a specific recruitment call for people who are organizing against data centers in their communities to run for office.The announcement comes amid a period of heightened political turmoil around data centers, as some high-profile Democrats wade into the fight. Earlier this week, three Democrats in the Senate sent letters seeking information from Big Tech companies about how data centers impact electricity bills, while senator Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, became the first national politician to call for a moratorium on data center construction.“We see our role as responding…
OpenAI has introduced an app directory that’s now available right inside ChatGPT, the company announced. “Apps extend ChatGPT conversations by bringing in new context and letting users take action like order groceries, turn an outline into a slide deck or search for an apartment,” the company wrote in a blog post. OpenAI also noted in a help document that “connector” apps like Google Drive are now simply called “apps.”The new apps section (on iOS, Android and web) is divided into Feature, Lifestyle and Productivity categories, letting you connect to commonly used apps and sites like Booking.com, Spotify and Dropbox.

Carrying multiple chargers for your phone, laptop and tablet turns any bag into a tangled mess of cables and bulky adapters. The good news is that Anker’s Prime 67W charger just dropped to $37 on Amazon, slicing $12 off its $49 list price to hit an all-time low right before Christmas. This three-port GaN charger replaces at least two or three separate adapters you’re probably lugging around right now, saving both money and precious bag space. Compared to buying three individual chargers that would easily cost $60 to $80 combined, this deal makes financial sense even before you factor in…
The Ultrahuman Ring Air now has the capacity to track snoring and general respiratory health. This is thanks to proprietary technology called Respiratory Health PowerPlug, which is basically a suite of audio analysis tools along with some “advanced biomarker tracking” and AI tomfoolery.All of this results in “one of the most comprehensive consumer tools ever built for understanding nighttime respiratory stability.” It details snoring sessions, of course, but also delivers a holistic and “actionable sleep picture.” The company says this “reveals patterns, trends and changes in respiratory health over time.”UltrahumanTo that end, it can also detect coughing and respiratory disturbances.…

For the first time, scientists have created detailed, 2D maps of the sun’s outermost atmosphere. This feat was accomplished using data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which has been dipping in and out of the sun’s atmosphere, called the corona, since 2021.Parker is the first craft in history to fly so close to a star. This ability is largely thanks to its extraordinary heat shield, which can withstand temperatures in excess of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370 degrees Celsius). The sun’s corona is much hotter — around 1 million to 3 million F (555,000 C) — but it is extremely diffuse,…

Earlier this year Sony sued Tencent for copyright infringement over its Light of Motiram game, calling it a “slavish clone” of Horizon Zero Dawn. Then, earlier this month, Tencent agreed to stop promoting and publicly testing the game. Now, the two companies have reached a “confidential settlement” and the case has been dismissed, according to court documents seen by The Verge. Light of Motiram has also disappeared from Steam and Epic’s game stores.”SIE and Tencent are pleased to have reached a confidential resolution and will have no further public comment on this matter,” Tencent’s spokesperson told The Verge.When Sony first…
Director Adam Bhala Lough didn’t set out to make a documentary about a digital simulacrum of Sam Altman.But after about 100 days of texting and emailing the OpenAI CEO for an interview—with no response, he claims, and with financiers hounding him to make good on his original pitch—Lough was at his wit’s end.He’d exhausted just about every angle. “Once I reached that point, I gave up and I pivoted to gate-crashing OpenAI,” he says. Though he’d employed a similar tactic in his Emmy-nominated 2023 documentary Telemarketers—a chronicle of industry-wide corruption in the telemarketing business—it wasn’t a filmmaking style he felt…
Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed a rare 1,300-year-old lead medallion decorated on both sides with the image of a seven-branched menorah — the ceremonial candlestick unique to the Second Temple.Researchers think the medallion was worn on a necklace by a Jewish person in the late sixth or early seventh century, when the city and surrounding region were under the rule of the Christian Byzantine Empire — only decades before the city fell, first to the Sasanian Persians in 614 and then to mostly Arab Islamic invaders in about 638.According to a statement from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the medallion…
