After months of reporting and research, I’m really excited and proud to publish this series on AI and energy. It’s a deep look at AI’s energy requirements, where that energy mix comes from, and its carbon debt.

I have seen plenty of 3rd party mods, for Tesla, to address adding physical buttons. It would be great to see that spill over into the @rivianofficial.bsky.social market as well. www.wired.com/story/why-ca...
Rejoice! Carmakers Are Embracing Physical Buttons Again
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

My Also e-bike Prediction: Light weight (can be picked up to go up/down stairs, placed on bus bike rack, etc), 1 rack, smaller battery, internet connected, mobile app / dashboard, integrated lights, USB-C charging.

The White House signed an Executive Order that puts America’s public lands—including the Boundary Waters—at immediate risk. This is a direct move toward dismantling critical protections for the Wilderness under the guise of national security.
