California is the tenth state to legalize plug-in solar. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Residents can now easily install up to 1200W of solar panels without utility pre-approval. The DIY kits popular in Europe start at around $300 and feed the sun’s energy back into the home through standard wall outlets. More expensive kits with battery storage can help save even more money and provide backup power during a blackout. Either way, they should pay for themselves quickly in the state with the highest residential electricity rates.
Lemmo’s fancy e-bike is one of the first with a semi-solid state battery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Lemmo 3 is the first cargo bike from the respected German e-bike maker. This premium, step-through longtail is a slightly less insane take on Rivian’s Also TM-B, with one major advantage: it’s one of the first electric bikes to feature a semi-solid state battery. Semi-solid state batteries are far safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries. Their gel-like composition offers improved energy density, with far less risk of thermal runaway. That translates to improved range and longevity from
Watch SpaceX’s most ambitious launch in years. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Starship 14 mission includes two firsts for its next generation rocket: send the Starship spacecraft into Earth orbit, and insert a few dozen of SpaceX’s larger and more capable V3 satellites into the Starlink constellation for the first time. The 26 satellites will each add 1Tbps of capacity to the constellation, boosting total network capacity by about 3 percent on just this one flight. The Starship Super Heavy booster is scheduled to ignite at 8:48AM ET. You can watch it live right here.
Zuck wants everyone to know, he doesn’t need everyone to know he’s jacked. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The NYT takes a look at Mark Zuckerberg’s style metamorphosis from “robotic coder in a gray hoodie to fashion-conscious bro next door.” Unlike, say, the newly buff Jeff Bezos who loves a tight tee, Zuck is trying to find 20 polo-collared shirts with boxier ’fits favored by MMA fighters. “That’s like a fun thing to go do, right? […] Everyone knows I’m in really good shape, so I don’t need to show my muscles.”
The US backs Elon Musk in fight to overturn €120M EU fine. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trump officials filed a motion to support X’s appeal, arguing the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) enforcement overreached when levying the fine last December, and unfairly targets American tech platforms while threatening digital free speech and global market operations. “The European Commission inappropriately attempted to expand its regulatory authority to reach American companies not present or operating within its jurisdiction.”
