How do data centres use so much electricity?

Many homes collapsed

Officials reported that at least 339 homes and 20 livestock sheds were destroyed.

Some injuries are serious

Of the 54 injured people, 11 were in serious condition while 35 had minor injuries.

The quake struck deep inland

The epicenter was about 119 miles east-northeast of Nagqu, with estimates placing the quake’s depth between 6.2 and 11 miles.

The flaw enables remote control

The FBI warned that attackers could use the vulnerabilities to run their own code remotely in PHP-based systems.

Patches are already available

The PHP Foundation released fixes and update instructions, but organizations that cannot apply them promptly were advised to consider temporarily suspending their websites.

Some services lost access

Finland reported that some content was still being restored, while parts of Japanese and British government services were temporarily limited during security work.

Medical workers paid a heavy price

BBC data says 55 medical workers were killed, 120 injured and 10 forcibly disappeared or abducted between April 2023 and October 2025.

The main hospital moved repeatedly

After the Teaching Hospital closed, services shifted to South Hospital and then to Saudi Maternity Hospital as fighting, shelling, power cuts and dwindling supplies made care harder.

Hospital protection has limits

International law protects medical facilities unless they are used for acts harmful to an enemy, but the BBC found no independent evidence supporting the RSF-backed health minister’s claims that South Hospital housed weapons.

Shared technology could lower costs

Tesla batteries and solar panels are used in SpaceX satellites, while Starlink supports Tesla’s self-driving efforts, reducing the need for the companies to charge each other for shared technology.

Musk could gain control

Musk holds nearly half of SpaceX’s shares but much less voting power at Tesla, so a combined company could give him a larger controlling stake.

Approval faces major obstacles

Tesla shareholders may resist dilution, a wider mix of businesses, and regulatory concerns involving Tesla’s Chinese factories and SpaceX’s Pentagon work.

Premium seats bring more revenue

Delta's premium-seat revenue rose 18% in the third quarter even though its number of premium seats grew only 6%.

Fuel bills are surging

American Airlines' fuel costs increased by nearly 70% year over year, adding $1.9 billion in third-quarter expenses.

Budget carriers held prices down

Spirit's shutdown removed a low-cost competitor that had helped keep fares across the market from rising as quickly.

The affordability benchmark is seven percent

Federal guidelines consider childcare affordable at no more than 7% of household income, yet the average reached 8% and would require about $343,000 in annual income for $24,000 of yearly care costs.

Migration is lifting local demand

Childcare costs rose fastest in Nashville, Jacksonville and Phoenix, where domestic migration is adding families and increasing pressure on available services.

Grandparents provide a major backup

Families rely on grandparents for an estimated $172 billion in direct financial assistance each year, showing how households are filling gaps in the formal childcare system.

Real photos set the baseline

The first listing image must be an unedited photo of the actual item against a real background, while later images may use editing if they stay accurate.

Guides need real proof

Patterns, recipes, and instructions must be the seller’s own work rather than AI-generated, and sellers must show an actual result made from them.

Misleading orders risk refunds

If a buyer reports that the delivered item is materially different from the listing, Etsy may hold the seller responsible for a refund.

Each reactor produces 80 megawatts

The 12 Xe-100 units would use helium cooling and TRISO fuel to reach the project's planned combined output of 960 megawatts.

Amazon is an early customer

By agreeing to buy electricity, Amazon could give developers a dependable customer that helps reduce financial risk while the technology is being developed.

Indiana approval is separate

Permission for X-energy's planned Texas project would not automatically authorize the Indiana facility because nuclear approvals cover specific designs, sites, and construction plans.

The terms could still change

The reported $1.25 trillion figure is a pre-money valuation, meaning it describes OpenAI’s value before the new investment is added, and sources say negotiations remain unfinished.

Computing may be part of the deal

The UAE investment could be paired with an agreement giving OpenAI more computing capacity, linking the fundraising to the infrastructure needed to run AI systems.

Anthropic faces a higher bar

Anthropic reportedly wants a $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion valuation for its IPO after raising $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation in May.

Images replace traditional samples

The method draws its estimates from visual patterns in photographs rather than directly measuring blood, tissue, or organs.

Survival means a probability

A survival estimate describes how likely an outcome may be, not a fixed prediction for one person.

Biological age differs

Biological age refers to how old the body appears to function, which can differ from the number of years someone has lived.

Small firms face larger deductibles

Employees at small companies faced an average annual individual deductible of $2,624, compared with $1,772 at large companies.

Pay is rising more slowly

Workers' earnings rose 3.7% this year, less than half the 9% increase in their average family insurance contribution.

A few clinics contain costs

Only 7% of surveyed companies had on-site clinics, but firms such as Phifer kept costs flat by offering free primary care through clinics and direct doctor contracts.

Seventeen products are included

The recalled toothpaste covers 17 products, including children’s character-themed varieties and adult whitening, sensitivity, gum-health, and cavity-protection formulas.

CGMP rules cover production

Current Good Manufacturing Practice standards require drug manufacturers to follow regulations and monitor how products are made to help ensure consistent quality.

The recall has no reported illnesses

The FDA has not announced injuries or illnesses linked to these products, but advises people with health concerns after using them to contact a doctor.

Measurements needed major cleanup

Researchers corrected for differences between telescopes, cosmic dust, galaxy mass, and gravitational lensing, all of which can change the light used to estimate distance.

Independent results differ slightly

The supernova findings and DESI’s measurements of relic sound waves both hint at changing dark energy, but they do not point to exactly the same departure from the standard model.

Closer explosions may help

The DEBASS program is identifying hundreds of nearer supernovae that can provide additional measurements of the Universe’s expansion.

The trial tested high-risk adults

Researchers studied 365 adults ages 55 to 80 who rarely ate fish and were considered more likely to develop Alzheimer’s.

Omega-3 reached the brain

Cerebrospinal-fluid tests showed DHA levels rose by an average of 17% after six months among supplement users.

Genetic risk was common

Nearly 47% of participants carried APOE4, the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s, though it does not guarantee the disease.

Warm water raises sea levels

As ocean water warms and expands, satellites can use higher sea levels in the central and eastern Pacific as a sign that heat is building there.

Its shape hints at impacts

In 1997 and 2026, warm high water reached toward South America, while in 2015 it stayed more concentrated along the equator, helping produce different rainfall patterns.

Forecasts remain probabilistic

NOAA’s 83 percent outlook describes the chance of a strong event, not a guarantee of specific rainfall, flooding, or drought in any location.

Symptoms first appeared during golf

Faulk initially thought the hand rigidity he noticed while putting was normal nerve trouble, but it also began happening when he was not playing.

Medication is limiting symptoms

Faulk said treatment has left him with hand rigidity and small tremors but no worsening that he has noticed over the past year and a half.

He reports clear thinking

Faulk said he has experienced no cognitive decline and feels clear of thought since receiving the diagnosis.

The alleged source remains unnamed

Prosecutors described the source as a former NBA player and current or recent coach, details that point toward Billups, but they did not name or charge that person.

The cases have separate sentences

Federal guidelines estimate 30 to 37 months for the betting case and 63 to 78 months for the poker case, though the maximum penalty for each count is 20 years.

Poker cheating used technology

Prosecutors say shuffling machines could help predict players' hands, with that information then passed to people involved in the alleged cheating.

Martinez had a breakout season

The 36-year-old right-hander made his first All-Star team and posted a 3.10 ERA over a career-high 180 regular-season innings.

Rasmussen carried a heavy load

Rasmussen has thrown at least six innings in each playoff start, allowing three runs across 21 total innings.

Milwaukee sees a familiar pitcher

Martinez already faced the Brewers at American Family Field in March, holding them to two runs over six innings.

He had earlier television roles

Before Shazam!, Gray appeared in NBC’s The Little People as student doctor Ronnie Collins during its first season in 1972.

Other actors played Captain Marvel

Gray played Billy Batson, while Jackson Bostwick and later John Davey portrayed the superhero Captain Marvel.

He kept working beyond Shazam!

Gray later appeared on shows including The Brady Bunch and Dynasty and voiced a version of himself in four episodes of Archer from 2015 to 2019.

Previews beat several comparisons

Clayface’s preview total is ahead of Kraven the Hunter’s $2M and Smile’s $2M, while coming close to Birds of Prey’s $4M.

Critics are mostly positive

Its 76% Rotten Tomatoes critics score is higher than recent DC releases including The Flash, Supergirl, Joker: Folie à Deux, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Weekend momentum remains uncertain

The key question is whether Thursday’s audience represents steady interest across the weekend or a front-loaded rush concentrated in previews.

His breakthrough came late

Skerritt was 37 when he gained wider attention as Captain Duke Forrest in Robert Altman’s 1970 film M*A*S*H.

Television earned top honors

His role as Sheriff Jimmy Brock on Picket Fences earned him the 1993 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

He played Alien’s captain

In Ridley Scott’s 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien, Skerritt portrayed Dallas, captain of the doomed spaceship.

Cottages feel like private homes

The refurbished two-floor cottages include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchens, screened porches, fireplaces, and outdoor showers.

Activities fill the day

Guests can combine a heated 82-degree pool, treetop spa treatments, garden yoga, watercolor lessons, and cocktail classes without needing a car.

Dining extends beyond guests

Earth serves seasonal multi-course meals using produce from the property’s farm when possible and welcomes the public year-round.

Agents receive live hotel information

Wyndham sends availability and rates directly to AI assistants through its central reservation system.

The strategy targets booking control

A simple direct path could help Wyndham capture the customer relationship rather than letting an online travel agency handle the reservation.

AI agents are a new guest category

CEO Geoff Ballotti described autonomous booking tools as a new type of guest alongside the workers and families Wyndham traditionally serves.

The change will take time

The bill does not end carriage rides immediately, instead setting a deadline of mid-2028 for the phaseout.

The tradition drew tourists

Drivers described park carriage rides as folklore and said visitors traveled from around the world specifically to experience them.

Safety concerns fueled opposition

Critics had challenged the industry for decades over animal welfare and safety before the June death renewed the campaign to end it.

About 300 reviews are paused

NACCAS must suspend reviews of roughly 300 institutions and programs seeking its accreditation until it meets federal requirements.

Student notices were missing

One concern was that NACCAS did not ensure schools told students when they faced accreditation sanctions.

Aid access could be disrupted

If NACCAS eventually loses federal recognition, its schools would have 18 months to find another approved accreditor to keep access to Pell Grants and Direct Loans.

Secretary would gain new power

The October 2025 rule would have allowed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to block companies and employees from PSLF over activities such as aiding undocumented immigrants or providing gender-affirming care.

Lawsuits challenged executive authority

The plaintiff companies argued that the rule was arbitrary, exceeded executive power, and violated the First Amendment, while the administration said they lacked standing to sue.

Another route remains possible

Officials could propose a revised restriction through the Education Department or another agency, as they have done with other policies blocked by courts.

Younger workers are rare

Only 4 percent of licensed or registered home-based providers are 29 or younger, compared with about one-third of employees at larger child care centers.

Flexible hours set them apart

More than a third of licensed home-based providers offer nontraditional hours, while only 8 percent of larger centers do.

Retirement has few supports

Home-based providers typically lack retirement benefits, earn low wages for the field and may face state rules requiring them to own a home.

The setting affects future accounts

Google may add the number not only to accounts already signed in, but also to accounts added or updated on that device later.

Turning it off is not enough

Disabling automatic verification prevents future linking but leaves existing phone numbers attached until you delete them from each account’s Personal Info page.

Some uses need separate changes

Removing a number from the main Phone page may not remove it from two-step verification or services such as Google Pay.

The yacht keeps things intimate

SeaDream I carries 112 passengers, creating a smaller, private-yacht atmosphere rather than the crowds associated with large cruise ships.

Raw food has strict rules

SeaDream's raw menu follows the idea of avoiding processed foods and ingredients heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Meat eaters still have choices

Guests can order protein-focused five-course dinners, cheeseburgers, and locally caught fish alongside vegan and raw dishes.

Size changes the schedule

A 12- to 14-pound unstuffed turkey takes roughly three hours at 350°F, while a frozen bird of that size may need three to four days to thaw in the refrigerator.

Stuffing takes extra time

Stuffed turkeys cook more slowly because the center of the stuffing must reach a safe temperature, which can leave the breast meat overcooked.

Resting protects the texture

Letting a whole turkey rest for 30 to 60 minutes gives juices time to redistribute, while covering it with foil can soften the crisp skin.
