Engadget: Japan will try to beam solar power from space by 2025
Japan and JAXA, the country’s space administration, have spent decades trying to make it possible to beam solar energy from space. In 2015, the nation made a breakthrough when JAXA scientists successfully beamed 1.8 kilowatts of power, enough energy to power an electric kettle, more than 50 meters to a wireless receiver. Now, Japan is poised to bring the technology one step closer to reality.

Netzpolitik.org: Recht auf Reparatur: EU-Parlament will langlebigere Geräte
Das Europäische Parlament will es Herstellern verbieten, die Lebensdauer von Produkten bewusst zu verkürzen. Dieses Vorgehen heißt geplante Obsoleszenz und wird zum Beispiel durch Software umgesetzt, die dafür sorgt, dass ein Gerät nach einer bestimmten Zeit nicht mehr funktioniert.

The Register: EU's Cyber Resilience Act contains a poison pill for open source developers
The OpenForum Europe (OFE) by Eclipse Foundation, Open Source Initiative (OSI), APELL, CNLL, and The OSB Alliance stated in its letter to the EC: "The current formulation of the CRA interferes with almost every software development model other than the case of a single company developing the entire code-base behind closed doors and making periodical releases."

LLMs are not a replacement for expertise.
Christophe Pettus: Don’t use ChatGPT to solve problems.
In an experiment, I asked 40 questions about PostgreSQL. 23 came back with misleading or simply inaccurate information. Of those, 9 came back with answers that would have caused (at best) performance issues. One of the answers could result in a corrupted database (deleting WAL files to recover disk space).

Ars Technica: Yet another problem with recycling: It spews microplastics
Their microplastics tally was astronomical. Even with filtering, they calculate that the total discharge from the different washes could produce up to 75 billion particles per cubic meter of wastewater. Depending on the recycling facility, that liquid would ultimately get flushed into city water systems or the environment. In other words, recyclers trying to solve the plastics crisis may in fact be accidentally exacerbating the microplastics crisis, which is coating every corner of the environment with synthetic particles.
