The largest electrical grid in the U.S., the PJM Interconnection, saw prices nearly double over the last year, according to a report published yesterday by Monitoring Analytics, an independent market monitor that serves as a sort of watchdog for the PJM grid. The culprit? Data centers. Wholesale prices for one megawatt-hour of electricity rose to $136.53, up from $77.78 at the same time last year. Crain’s Chicago Business was first to report on the spike. Monitoring Analytics pointed the finger at data centers and PJM’s failure to handle their surging demand adequately. The market monitor pulled no punches. “The price…

The final stragglers testified on Wednesday in the Musk v. Altman trial. The witnesses generated few waves, aside from the revelation that Microsoft has so far spent over $100 billion on its partnership with OpenAI. Rather than focus on that, I wanted to bring you a candid observation that my colleague Maxwell Zeff and I can’t stop talking about after spending nearly three weeks watching the trial.The courtroom is littered with butt cushions.Several of the hard, wooden benches on the right side of US district Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’ courtroom are reserved for OpenAI and Microsoft’s attorneys, executives, and other…

One of the bigger frustrations with passkeys has always been that they’re tied to wherever you set them up. Move to a new phone or switch password managers, and you’re stuck re-registering at every site from scratch. Google Password Manager passkeys may finally have a fix for that on Android. Android Authority recently activated a hidden interface inside Google Password Manager that adds passkey import and export support. In its current form, the existing settings options for passwords appear to be getting upgraded to cover passkeys too. Android Authority confirmed the interface actually works, not just as a visual placeholder.…

And in April, a PhD candidate at the University of Washington was messing around on Gemini and got it to cough up her colleague’s personal cell phone number.  AI researchers and online privacy experts have long warned of the myriad dangers generative AI poses for personal privacy. These cases give us yet another scenario to worry about: generative AI exposing people’s real phone numbers. (The Redditor did not respond to multiple requests for comment and we could not independently verify his story.) Experts say that these privacy lapses are most likely due to the use of personally identifiable information (PII)…

Tesla Robotaxis have crashed at least twice since July 2025 while a teleoperator was remotely driving the vehicles, according to newly unredacted information submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Both crashes happened in Austin, Texas, and occurred at low speeds. In each case, there was a safety monitor behind the wheel and no passengers were onboard. The new information comes just a few months after Tesla told lawmakers that it allows remote operators to pilot one of the company’s vehicles as long as they stay under 10 miles per hour. “This capability enables Tesla to promptly move…

Introduction, unboxing Huawei’s Watch Fit series is very popular because it combines a small form factor with a useful rectangular display, colorful bands, a strong suite of health and fitness tracking, and superb battery life for not a lot of money. Many people gravitate towards the series (and others like it) because they cover the majority of functionality of an Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch, but with far superior battery life. And as the series has evolved, it’s gotten nicer and more premium, think less fitness band and more premium smartwatch. This move into premium happened last year…
