Tesla has applied for a permit to operate a ride-hailing service in California, but it will be using human drivers rather than the promised robotaxi. Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that Tesla would launch “unsupervised self-driving in Texas and California in Q2 2025.” However, we suspected that this would not be “unsupervised self-driving’ in customer vehicles like Tesla has been promising since 2016, but an internal fleet with teleoperation support in a geo-fenced area for ride-hailing services, much like Waymo has been doing for years. Sure enough, Musk confirmed last month that this was the plan for Austin…

Solidigm 122.88TB SSD provided the storage for a test involving Nvidia’s Nano Super The system was used to run DeepSeek and although it worked, it wasn’t fast The Gen 4 PCIe SSD’s speed was restricted by the Nano Super’s Gen 3 connection At the end of 2024, Solidigm added a 122.88TB QLC SSD to its product line. The D5-P5336 will be available in U.2 15mm to start and then in E1.L later in 2025, meaning it won’t fit in a typical consumer PC. Its price is expected to exceed $10,000 anyway, so you’d need deep pockets if you want to…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain People in the UK need to adopt heat pumps and electric vehicles as fast as they once embraced refrigerators, mobile phones and internet connection, according to a new report by the Climate Change Committee (CCC). This government watchdog says the next 15 years will be critical for decarbonizing the UK, one of the world’s largest (and earliest) carbon polluters. Eighty-seven percent of its climate-heating emissions must be eliminated by 2040 to keep the country on track for net zero emissions by mid-century, per the report. The majority (60%) of these cuts are expected to come via…

Electricity demand in the United States will grow 2% annually over the next quarter century, driven by data centers and building electrification, industry and transportation, the head of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association said Wednesday. NEMA will release its study “in the next couple of weeks,” CEO Debra Phillips said during an Axios-led event. “Our forecast is in the moderate range.” “By the time we get to 2050, [that’s] 50% growth over where we are today,” Phillips said. “In large part, data centers over the next decade are going to be the key driver.” NEMA expects to see 300% growth in…

With the resurgence of the connector meltdown scare, users who were lucky enough to snag an RTX 50 GPU at launch have been worried their card is next on the chopping block.
