Meta is now using every possible source to power its data centers by Hamid Ganji Chip shortage is not the only obstacle hindering AI development. The insatiable thirst for electricity from data centers has caused serious problems for tech giants, to the point where they have been forced to invest heavily in purchasing nuclear power plants. However, green and renewable energy could also serve as an alternative power source for data centers. As reported by Reuters, Meta has signed four deals with Renewable energy developer Invenergy to supply 791 megawatts (MW) of solar and wind power for its data centers. This is the second green deal between Meta and Invenergy to supply renewable energy to Meta's data centers, following the firms' signing of contracts last year for 760 MW of solar electricity. According to Invenergy, the latest deal soars Meta's renewable energy purchases to 1,800 MW. The green energy will come from Invenergy's projects in Ohio, Arkansas, and Texas. While renewable energy has a more limited capacity compared to methods like nuclear power, it still holds significant potential to meet some of the data center's energy needs. Moreover, investing in renewable energy aligns with Big Tech's net-zero plans. Last year, Meta announced a request for proposals (RFP) to identify nuclear energy developers in the United States. The company plans to generate 1-4 gigawatts (GW) of new nuclear power by early 2030. Also, in June this year, Meta and energy company Constellation announced plans to revive an aging nuclear power plant in Illinois that has been shut down since 2017 due to financial losses. Meta could rely on this nuclear power plant for the next 20 years. While some major tech companies were committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, the soaring power demands from AI data centers could render all those green plans obsolete. That is why these companies have called for reforms to net-zero rules, as achieving their ambitious net-zero goals by 2040 seems highly unlikely. -

Mozilla fixes Firefox crashes on startup and other issues by Taras Buria Just two days after releasing Firefox 140 to the Release channel, Mozilla is dropping a small update to address two bugs in version 140. Firefox 140.0.1 is now available for download, addressing crashes on startup and issues with contrast in the sidebar when using dark themes (black text appears on dark backgrounds, making it impossible to read). Here is the changelog that Mozilla published in the official documentation: Fixed text contrast issues in the sidebar with some dark themes. (Bug 1971487) Fixed a startup crash experienced by some users caused by DLL injection. (Bug 1973947) You can update Firefox to the latest version by heading to Menu > Help > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can get it from the official website or the Microsoft Store (Windows 10 and 11). In case you missed it, Firefox 140 arrived on June 24. It introduced several important changes, including the ability to resize the pinned tab section when using vertical tabs (more upgrades are coming to the browser in this area), custom search engine support, tab unloading via right-click, various security fixes, and more. The update also removed the Pocket toolbar icon and the Pocket integration on the new tab page. Mozilla recently killed Pocket and Fakesport in order to focus more on its main product, the Firefox browser. You can find full release notes for Firefox 140.0.1 in our dedicated article. -

I really don't get why Outer Worlds 2 is being brought into conversation so often. In Romania: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 1 launched at 80 euros on EPIC, FOUR YEARS AGO and then at 80 euros on Steam sometime later. Black Ops 6 last year? 80 euros. DOOM The Dark Ages? It launched at 80 euros. "Xbox Game Studios’ first game out of the gates with the increased price" => literally the 3rd Xbox studio title with that pricing for me. They can all get bent. -

MSFT it's getting stupid under Satya Nadella's management. Instead of dogfooding their own technology like WinUI3 they insist in pushing this web garbage packed of copilot malware. As an old enthusiast of MSFT since 90's I'm almost becoming a hater of MSFT because of suck kind of stupid decisions like these. 1) Pushing copilot hard on it's user's thought, every time and e everywhere. 2) Instead of favoring it's own NATIVE UI framework like WinUI or .NET MAUI (poor maui) to showcase the market they are very confident about their software development tools, no they just to what's easier for them and completely ignore it's user's feedback. My guess is that pretty soon they will figure it out that AI won't be all that big thing and when they realize the colossal investments that they made on AI would better served if they invested in their own .NET frameworks.
