It can't be just about harvesting solar power - it's also about storage, and time-shifting cheap, off-peak power to times when it's more expensive. Batteries let you store and timeshift power. They can store solar-generated power or cheap, off-peak power. To make this work, you need a TOU tariff with a decent peak/off-peak rate spread.


Xbox boss 'thinking about affordability' of next-gen console

BBC News

Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma says the gaming giant needs to be thinking about affordability for its next-generation console, amid a crisis in computing prices. In an interview with the BBC, she said rising hardware costs partly driven by AI spending mean firms need to find ways to make gaming affordable. She also revealed gamers will soon be able to get digital versions of many of the physical games they currently own, potentially meaning their old games can be played on future Xbox consoles without having to put a disc in a drive. I know players love physical media, and I know there's a lot of benefits in digital media, and I want to make sure people have a choice, Sharma said. Currently, digital games can be downloaded online and played across Xbox consoles or PCs.

First 11 vs 11 humanoid soccer game played at RoboCup 2026

AIHub

RoboCup 2026 saw history made, as two teams of 11 humanoids took to the soccer field, the first time a full complement of robots has competed. The game saw (Bremen, Germany) take on (Leipzig, Germany), with both sides using machines designed by Booster Robotics. Back in 1997, RoboCup's founders set the lofty goal of developing a team of autonomous robots that could beat the human World Cup champions by 2050. There has been significant progress since those early days, and this match saw another step towards that ambition. "This match shows how far humanoid robotics has come," said Ubbo Visser, President of the RoboCup Federation.


The Left's constitutional hypocrisy is on full display in its war on Trump

FOX News

Long before Donald Trump entered national politics, I wrote a book published by Oxford University Press making the historical case against popular constitutionalism and departmentalism -- an originalist defense of judicial finality. But that scholarly position does not mean President Trump is ignoring the rule of law or behaving like an authoritarian when he advances a theory of judicial review that other presidents and scholars have likewise advanced.
