Jiri Vondracek/Shutterstock Electricity demand is skyrocketing in the United States and is expected to continue to grow. Energy analysts predict that electricity demand will increase 25% by 2030 and 78% by 2050.

It’s essentially a classic action platformer, but with a heavy emphasis on comedy and cartoonish action with Lego characters. The combat upgrade, which channels Arkham-style free-for-all combat, also really plays into the Lego style. I especially liked that they added comedy from the Adam West era of Batman to make the battles even more wacky. The first mission I played was a…
As the billionaire space race heats up, the world’s astro-tycoons seek to follow SpaceX’s lead into low Earth orbit (LEO), and Jeff Bezos’ space projects, Amazon Leo and Blue Origin, gain a foothold. In April, Amazon reached an $11 billion deal to acquire Globalstar, a major player in smartphone connectivity, paving the way for a landmark deal with Apple. However, Amazon’s satellite program likely depends on its ability to establish a launch pipeline independent of SpaceX. A partnership with French company Arianespace, which operates the European Space Agency’s Ariane 6 rocket, could be key…

Organic Media/Getty Images If we’re being perfectly honest, you should always buy your tech at Costco, especially big-ticket items like smart TVs, because you can spend the savings on an assembly service that installs it for you. Well, maybe. The service promises to make it simple to install a new LG OLED evo C6, one of Costco’s 10 new electronics to look out for in 2026, but the results may be questionable. When you buy a TV at Costco, you have the option to use the Angi Premier TV assembly…
Meta’s AI support assistant helped hackers gain access to high-profile Instagram accounts, according to social media reports. Without verification checks, Meta AI would change the email address associated with an Instagram account, allowing the password to be updated.

It can be used to report scams, get information about content removal, and reset passwords. It is this latter option that bad actors have been able to exploit.
