Gmail is definitely the most popular email service out there, and being free is only part of the equation. In fact, Google’s inbox organization tools are what make it stand out from the competition.

Image Credit: NissanMost wireless chargers use magnets that give phones a strong grip as power flows. Cars, however, still skip this idea, which feels strange. I struggle to find a downside. Drivers know the frustration well—placing a phone on a wireless charger, only to arrive with 19% battery left—or worse, a device that’s overheated or shifted out of position. I can’t help but wonder if automakers just don’t want to take on the extra work. Fortunately, Nissan is moving ahead, becoming one of the first car brands in the US to introduce Qi2 wireless charging.Related: From robotaxis to your car—let’s see…

Can Vibe Coding Work for Science? Argonne Puts the Idea to the Test Nearly a year after OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy coined the phrase in a February 2025 social media post, “vibe coding” has become shorthand for using LLMs to turn ideas into code with minimal manual programming. Karpathy described the approach as one where developers “fully give into the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.” Vibe coding has since gained traction in software prototyping, but its relevance for rigorous scientific workloads remains an open question. Now, researchers at Argonne National Laboratory are…

In early December, we first heard that Apple was talking to Intel about chip manufacturing, in a bid to diversify its suppliers and not be entirely dependent on TSMC. Now a new research note by GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu reiterates this rumor. Pu says he expects Intel to begin making Apple chips using its future 14A process, which is going to be ready for mass production in 2028. This means Intel will supply Apple with a portion of its A21 and A22 chips. That said, TSMC is expected to remain Apple’s main chip supplier. Like TSMC, Intel will only…

AI to Augment More Jobs Than It Replaces Through 2030, Forrester Says A recent jobs report from Forrester suggests that while artificial intelligence will reshape parts of the U.S. labor market over the rest of the decade, fears of an AI-driven “job apocalypse” are overblown. In its “AI Job Impact Forecast, US, 2025–2030,” Forrester estimates that automation and AI will account for about 6% of total U.S. job losses by 2030, or roughly 10.4 million roles. The firm says this impact falls far short of the large-scale job displacement often predicted in public debates about AI. According…
