To house the hundreds or thousands of temporary workers needed to build an AI data center, developers are increasingly relying on temporary villages known as man camps. This style of camp was popularized as housing for men working in remote oil fields. For example, as a Bitcoin mining facility in rural Dickens County, Texas is converted into a 1.6 gigawatt data center, Bloomberg reports its workers are living in gray housing units with access to a gym, a laundromat, game rooms, and a cafeteria that grills steaks on-demand. A company called Target Hospitality has signed multiple contracts worth a total…

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 series last week, which includes the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The S26 Ultra is the top-end model in the lineup, and one of its headline features is the Privacy Display. The Privacy Display is advertised as a zero-peek feature that makes it hard for others to see the contents on the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display when viewed from an angle. If you are wondering how exactly the Privacy Display feature is implemented and works, we’ve got you covered. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Privacy Display examined The Privacy Display feature may not…

In a recent security partnership with Mozilla, Anthropic found 22 separate vulnerabilities in Firefox — 14 of them classified as “high-severity.” Most of the bugs have been fixed in Firefox 148 (the version released this February), although a few fixes will have to wait for the next release. Anthropic’s team used Claude Opus 4.6 over the span of two weeks, starting in the JavaScript engine and then expanding to other portions of the codebase. According to the post, the team focused on Firefox because “it’s both a complex codebase and one of the most well-tested and secure open-source projects in…

This was officially Mobile World Congress 2026 week, but Apple decided to unveil some new tech, effectively hijacking some of the spotlight. Starting off with the iPhone 17e, a subtle update over the 16e. The new phone hasa binned A19 SoC, starts off at 256GB and lacks a 128GB version, and brings the new C1X modem for better connectivity. Most importantly, the 17e costs the same $599 despite the doubled storage. Deliveries begin on March 11. Apple also unveiled a new iPad Air with the M4 chipset, as well as the new M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. But what…

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) gave TerraPower the go-ahead this week to build a new nuclear reactor in the shadow of an aging coal power plant in Wyoming. TerraPower’s permit is the first to be issued by the NRC in nearly a decade. The startup — founded by Bill Gates in 2015 and backed by Nvidia — has been designing its Natrium reactor with GE Vernova Hitachi. The final power plant will generate 345 megawatts, which is about two-thirds smaller than modern full-size reactors, but multiple times larger than many small modular reactor designs favored by other startups. Natrium differs…

A OnePlus 15T prototype has now been spotted in the Geekbench online database with the model number PLZ110. It managed a single-core score of 3,440 and a multi-core score of 10,523. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, just as rumored. In the prototype that ran the benchmark, this was paired with 16GB of RAM. The phone will unsurprisingly run Android 16 from day one. The 15T is officially confirmed to have a 6.32-inch flat screen with extremely slim and uniform bezels, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, a 7,500 mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless…

Enterprises and startups that use Anthropic Claude through Microsoft and Google products need not fear that the model will be ripped from their reach, Microsoft and Google confirmed to TechCrunch. AWS customers and partners can also reportedly continue to use Claude for their non-defense associated workloads. Microsoft was the first big tech company to offer assurance that Anthropic’s models will remain available to its customers even though the Trump administration’s Department of War — formally known as the Department of Defense — has escalated its feud with Anthropic. The Defense Department officially designated the American AI startup as a supply-chain…

It was MWC week, but the newly unveiled devices will not be available for a while – certainly not this weekend, anyway. What is available now is the Galaxy S26 series. Also, Apple launched several new devices this week, which can be pre-ordered now (and will be available from March 11). We published our Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review a couple of days ago. While it’s not the most exciting upgrade, it does bring meaningful improvements. Right now, the Privacy Display is unique in its capabilities and the upgraded charging had a significant impact on charge times. The S26 Ultra…

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has opened an investigation into the death of a worker at a Rivian warehouse in Illinois this week, the federal agency told TechCrunch on Friday. The agency said the probe could take up to six months. The man, identified by local authorities as 61-year-old Kevin Lancaster, reportedly died from “blunt traumatic compressional injuries” after getting pinned between a tractor trailer and a loading dock at the facility, which is located just a few miles from Rivian’s factory. Lancaster was reportedly trapped in that spot for around 20 minutes on Thursday before firefighters were able…
