Senators Count the Shady Ways Data Centers Pass Energy Costs On To
Americans (arstechnica.com) 9

Posted by BeauHD on Wednesday December 17, 2025 @05:00AM from the
called-out dept.
U.S. senators are probing whether Big Tech data centers are driving
up local electricity bills by socializing grid upgrade costs onto
residents. Some of the tactics they're using include NDAs, shell
companies, and lobbying. Ars Technica reports: In letters (PDF) to
seven AI firms, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Chris Van Hollen
(D-Md.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) cited a study estimating
that "electricity prices have increased by as much as 267 percent in
the past five years" in "areas located near significant data center
activity." Prices increase, senators noted, when utility companies
build out extra infrastructure to meet data centers' energy demands
-- which can amount to one customer suddenly consuming as much power
as an entire city. They also increase when demand for local power
outweighs supply. In some cases, residents are blindsided by higher
bills, not even realizing a data center project was approved, because
tech companies seem intent on dodging backlash and frequently do not
allow terms of deals to be publicly disclosed.

AI firms "ask public officials to sign non-disclosure agreements
(NDAs) preventing them from sharing information with their
constituents, operate through what appear to be shell companies to
mask the real owner of the data center, and require that landowners
sign NDAs as part of the land sale while telling them only that a
'Fortune 100 company' is planning an 'industrial development'
seemingly in an attempt to hide the very existence of the data
center," senators wrote. States like Virginia with the highest
concentration of data centers could see average electricity prices
increase by another 25 percent by 2030, senators noted. But price
increases aren't limited to the states allegedly striking shady deals
with tech companies and greenlighting data center projects, they
said. "Interconnected and interstate power grids can lead to a data
center built in one state raising costs for residents of a
neighboring state," senators reported.

Under fire for supposedly only pretending to care about keeping
neighbors' costs low were Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Equinix,
Digital Realty, and CoreWeave. Senators accused firms of paying "lip
service," claiming that they would do everything in their power to
avoid increasing residential electricity costs, while actively
lobbying to pass billions in costs on to their neighbors. [...]
Particularly problematic, senators emphasized, were reports that tech
firms were getting discounts on energy costs as utility companies
competed for their business, while prices went up for their
neighbors.

The Arctic Is in Dire Straits, 20 Years of Reporting Show 14

Posted by BeauHD on Wednesday December 17, 2025 @02:00AM from the
wetter-and-warmer dept.
A new Arctic Report Card recap shows how the Arctic has transformed
in just 20 years, warming about twice as fast as the global average
and losing most of its oldest sea ice. It's also triggering cascading
impacts from "Atlantification" to permafrost-driven "rusting rivers"
and more destructive storms. Scientific American reports: The first
Arctic Report Card was released by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration in 2006. Since then the region has warmed
twice as fast as the global average. About 95 percent of the oldest,
thickest sea ice is gone -- "the sliver that remains is collected in
an area north of Greenland. Even the central Arctic Ocean is becoming
warmer and saltier, causing more ice melt and changing how much heat
is released into the atmosphere in a way that affects weather
patterns around the world. Those are just some of the stark changes
20 years have wrought. The findings were highlighted in the 2025
Arctic Report Card, released on Tuesday.

The Arctic Ocean is undergoing what scientists are calling
"Atlantification" -- a process where warm, salty water from the
Atlantic flows north, changing how waters of different temperatures
and densities are layered in the Arctic, disrupting ecosystems and
altering how heat moves from the water to the air. [...] The Arctic
is simply becoming wetter, with more precipitation falling as rain
instead of snow. June snow cover over the entire Arctic is half of
what it was 60 years ago, the report found. Permafrost also continues
to thaw, releasing once trapped carbon into the atmosphere and
disgorging iron and other elements that have turned rivers and
streams orange. These "rusting rivers," found in more than 200
watersheds, are more acidic than normal and have elevated levels of
toxic metals that endanger local ecosystems. And as the permafrost
thaws, the tundra of the Arctic biome is shrinking, and the boreal
forest biome is creeping northward, disrupting ecosystems.

Breach At South Korea's Equivalent of Amazon Exposed Data of Almost
Every Adult (wsj.com) 17

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @10:30PM from the
massive-data-leaks dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Wall Street Journal: The
alleged perpetrator had improper access to virtually every South
Korean adult's personal information: names, phone numbers and even
the keycode to enter residential buildings. It was one of the biggest
data breaches of recent years and it has sent the company it targeted
-- Coupang, South Korea's equivalent of Amazon -- reeling, generating
lawsuits, government investigation and calls to toughen penalties
against such leaks. The leak went undetected for nearly five months,
hitting Coupang's radar on Nov. 18 only after a customer flagged
suspicious activity.

At first, Coupang, which was founded by a Korean-American
entrepreneur, said it had experienced a data "exposure" affecting
roughly 4,500 customer accounts. But within days, the e-commerce firm
revised the figure: The leak exposed up to roughly 34 million user
accounts in South Korea -- a sum representing more than 90% of the
country's working-age population. Coupang started calling the
incident a "leak" after Korean regulators took issue with the
company's prior word choice. "The Whole Nation Is a Victim," read one
local news headline.

An investigation has found that the alleged perpetrator had once
worked in South Korea as a software developer for authentication
systems at Coupang, which is known for its blockbuster U.S. initial
public offering a few years ago. The suspected leaker is believed to
be a Chinese national who has moved back to China and is now on the
lam, South Korean officials say. They haven't named the person. Even
after leaving the firm roughly a year ago, the suspect secretly held
on to an internal authentication key that granted him unfettered
access to the personal information of Coupang users, South Korean
authorities and lawmakers say. The infiltration, using overseas
servers, started on June 24. By using the login credentials, the
suspect was able to appear as if he were still a Coupang employee
when accessing the company's systems.

EU Moves To Ease 2035 Ban On Internal Combustion Cars (apnews.com) 40

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @08:30PM from the
slight-change-of-plans dept.
The EU is moving to soften its planned 2035 ban on internal
combustion cars by allowing a small share of low-emission engines.
"The less stringent limit would leave room for automakers to continue
selling some plug-in hybrids, which have both electric and internal
combustion engines and can use the combustion engine to recharge the
battery without the need to find a charging station," reports the
Associated Press. From the report: The proposal from the EU's
executive commission would change provisions of 2023 legislation
requiring average emissions in new cars to equal zero, or a 100%
reduction from 2021 levels. The new proposal would require a 90%
emissions reduction. That means in practical terms that most cars
would be battery-only but would leave room for some cars with
internal combustion engines.

Automakers would have to compensate for the added emissions by using
European steel produced by methods that emit less carbon, and through
use of climate neutral e-fuels made from renewable electricity and
captured carbon dioxide and biofuels made from plants. EU officials
say changing the limit will not affect progress toward making the
27-country bloc's economy climate neutral by 2050. That means
producing only as much carbon dioxide as can be absorbed by forests
and oceans or by abatement methods such as storing it underground.
CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas blamed by scientists for climate
change.

Meta Tolerates Rampant Ad Fraud From China To Safeguard Billions In
Revenue (reuters.com) 30

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @07:50PM from the
behind-the-scenes dept.
A Reuters investigation found that Meta knowingly tolerated large
volumes of scam and illegal ads from China worth billions in revenue.
Reuters reports: Though China's authoritarian government bans use of
Meta social media by its citizens, Beijing lets Chinese companies
advertise to foreign consumers on the globe-spanning platforms. As a
result, Meta's advertising business was thriving in China, ultimately
reaching over $18 billion in annual sales in 2024, more than a tenth
of the company's global revenue. But Meta calculated that about 19%
of that money -- more than $3 billion -- was coming from ads for
scams, illegal gambling, pornography and other banned content,
according to internal Meta documents reviewed by Reuters.

The documents are part of a cache of previously unreported material
generated over the past four years by teams including Meta's finance,
lobbying, engineering and safety divisions. The cache reveals Meta's
efforts over that period to understand the scale of abuse on its
platforms and the company's reluctance to introduce fixes that could
undermine its business and revenues. The documents show that Meta
believed China was the country of origin of roughly a quarter of all
ads for scams and banned products on Meta's platforms worldwide.
Victims ranged from shoppers in Taiwan who purchased bogus health
supplements to investors in the United States and Canada who were
swindled out of their savings. "We need to make significant
investment to reduce growing harm," Meta staffers warned in an
internal April 2024 presentation to leaders of its safety operations.

To that end, Meta created an anti-fraud team that went beyond
previous efforts to monitor scams and other banned activity from
China. Using a variety of stepped-up enforcement tools, it slashed
the problematic ads by about half during the second half of 2024 --
from 19% to 9% of the total advertising revenue coming from China.
Then Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg weighed in. "As a result of
Integrity Strategy pivot and follow-up from Zuck," a late 2024
document notes, the China ads-enforcement team was "asked to pause"
its work. Reuters was unable to learn the specifics of the CEO's
involvement or what the so-called "Integrity Strategy pivot"
entailed. But after Zuckerberg's input, the documents show, Meta
disbanded its China-focused anti-scam team. It also lifted a freeze
it had introduced on granting new Chinese ad agencies access to its
platforms. One document shows that Meta shelved yet other anti-scam
measures that internal tests had indicated would be effective. The
document didn't detail the specifics of those measures.

Meta took these steps even as an outside consultant it hired produced
research that warned "Meta's own behavior and policies" were
fostering systemic corruption in the Chinese market for ads targeting
users in other countries, additional documents show. The upshot:
Within a few months of Meta's brief crackdown, a new crop of Chinese
advertising agencies was flooding Facebook and Instagram with
prohibited ads. By mid-2025, banned ads climbed back to about 16% of
Meta's China revenue. Rob Leathern, who was a senior director of
product management at Facebook until 2020 and is no longer at the
company, said the scale of predatory advertising revealed in the
documents represents a major breakdown in consumer protections at the
social media giant. "The levels that you're talking about are not
defensible," he said of the percentage of abusive ads. "I don't know
how anyone could think this is okay."

Mark Carney Criticised For Using British Spellings In Canadian
Documents (theguardian.com) 66

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @06:30PM from the
called-out dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: Mark Carney
says that amid a fundamental shift to the nature of globalization,
his government will catalyze the growth in both the public and
private sector. But Canadian linguists say that's a problem. Language
experts have called out the Canadian prime minister's growing
"utilization" of British spellings in key documents -- including the
recent federal budget and a press release issued following a meeting
with Donald Trump.

Carney, who served as the governor of the bank of England for seven
years, appears to have run afoul of Canadian linguistic norms,
returning to his home country with a penchant for using 's' instead
of 'z'- a hallmark of British spellings. In an open letter (PDF)
chastising the prime minister, six linguists have asked his office,
the Canadian government and parliament to stick to Canadian English
spelling, "which is the spelling they consistently used from the
1970s to 2025." They warned that if governments start to use other
systems for spelling, "this could lead to confusion about which
spelling is Canadian."

Canadian English is a source of immense pride for the nation's
pedants. But the country's distinct and somewhat arbitrary spelling
reflects the legacy of how Canada was colonized. "Canadian English
evolved through Loyalist settlement after the American Revolutionary
War, subsequent waves of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish
immigration, and from European and global contexts," the letter says,
with the current accepted spellings of words reflecting "global
influences and cultures from around the world represented in our
population, as well as containing words and phrases from Indigenous
languages." The linguists pointed out that Canada's distinct style of
spelling was widespread in media and government documents, with this
deliberate decision reflecting a desire to preserve a vital element
of the country's "national history, identity and pride."

A veteran games journalist claims Half-Life 3 is real and still
planned as a Spring 2026 launch title tied to Valve's next Steam
Machine push. Ars Technica reports: On the contrary, veteran
journalist Mike Straw insisted on a recent Insider Gaming podcast
that "everybody I've talked to are still adamant [Half-Life 3] is a
game that will be a launch title with the Steam Machine."

Straw -- who has a long history of reporting gaming rumors from
anonymous sources -- said this Half-Life 3 information is "not [from]
these run-of-the-mill sources that haven't gotten me information
before. ... These aren't like random, one-off people." And those

Straw added, noting that he was "specifically told [that] spring 2026
[is the window] for the Steam Machine, for the Frame, for the
Controller, [and] for Half-Life 3." [...]

Timing specifics aside, Straw said his sources have him convinced
that the long wait for Half-Life 3 is coming to an end in the near
future. "The game's real," he said. "At the end of the day, the game
is real. There's no denying it. It's just a 'when' and not an 'if' at

Volkswagen To End Production At German Plant, a First In Company
History (nytimes.com) 29

Posted by BeauHD on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @04:30PM from the
shifting-economics dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: The last
vehicle will roll off the assembly line at Volkswagen's plant in
Dresden, Germany, on Tuesday, marking the first time in the
automaker's 88-year history that it has closed a plant in its home
country. Volkswagen warned of potential production cuts last year, as
it faced shaky demand in Europe and China, its biggest market, as
well as higher tariffs that have crimped sales in the United States.

After 24 years of vehicle production, the Dresden plant will be
converted into a research hub focused on technologies like artificial
intelligence, robotics and chip design. Volkswagen will team up with
the government of the state of Saxony and the Dresden University of
Technology on the project at the plant, known as the Transparent
Factory because of its glass walls. "We did not take the decision to
end vehicle production at the Transparent Factory after more than 20
years lightly," Thomas Schafer, chief executive of the Volkswagen
brand, said in a statement. "From an economic perspective, however,
it was absolutely necessary."

Utah Leaders Hinder Efforts To Develop Solar Energy Supply
(arstechnica.com) 51

Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @03:50PM from the
closer-look dept.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed two bills this year that ended solar
development tax credits and imposed a new tax on solar generation
despite solar power accounting for two-thirds of the new projects
waiting to connect to the state's power grid. The legislation passed
by the Republican-controlled Legislature has already had an impact.

Since May, when the laws took effect, 51 planned solar projects
withdrew their applications to connect to the grid. That represents
more than a quarter of all projects in Utah's transmission connection
queue. The moves came as Cox promoted Operation Gigawatt, an
initiative to double the state's energy production in the next decade
through what he called an "any of the above" approach.

A third bill aimed at limiting solar development on farmland narrowly
missed the deadline for passage but is expected to return next year.
Rocky Mountain Power earlier this year asked regulators to approve a
30% electricity rate hike. Regulators eventually awarded a 4.7%
increase.

Racks of AI Chips Are Too Damn Heavy (theverge.com) 42

Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @02:30PM from the
gravity-of-the-situation dept.
The weight of AI server racks has reached a point where legacy data
centers cannot accommodate them even with significant retrofitting
efforts, The Verge reports. Chris Brown, chief technical officer at
Uptime Institute, said most retrofitting attempts would require
"bulldozing the building and starting over from scratch."

AI racks are projected to reach 5,000 pounds compared to the 400 to
600 pounds that racks weighed three decades ago. The dramatic
increase stems from hundreds to 1,000 GPUs packed densely into each
rack alongside memory chips and liquid cooling systems that can add
substantial weight. AI workloads now consume up to 350 kilowatts per
rack, 35 times the 10 kilowatts that traditional computer chip
workloads averaged a decade ago. Legacy data centers with raised
floors typically max out at around 1,250 pounds per square foot for
static loads.

Chris McLean, president of Critical Facility Group, said that rack
heights have grown from 6 feet to 9 feet over nearly two decades,
creating problems with doorframes and freight elevators in older
buildings.

not walked back broader regulation of company business practices
while also proceeding with investigations of major American tech
firms like Google, X, Amazon and Meta.

In a social media post, the Office of the United States Trade
Representative, which has carried out the negotiations, said that the
European Union and some member states had "persisted in a continuing
course of discriminatory and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines and
directives" against American companies.

The United States had raised concerns with the European Union about
these issues for years "without meaningful engagement," all while
allowing European companies to operate freely in the United States,
it said. If the European Union continues these policies, the United
States would "have no choice but to begin using every tool at its
disposal to counter these unreasonable measures," the U.S.T.R. said.
It named fees and restrictions on service companies among the
possibilities, and said it would use the same approach against other
countries that echoed Europe's strategy.

The post singled out potential European service providers that could
be targeted by name, listing Accenture, DHL, Mistral, SAP, Siemens
and Spotify, among others.

Texas Sues TV Makers For Taking Screenshots of What People Watch
(bleepingcomputer.com) 73

Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 16, 2025 @01:02PM from the
about-time dept.
mprindle writes: The Texas Attorney General sued five major
television manufacturers, accusing them of illegally collecting their
users' data by secretly recording what they watch using Automated
Content Recognition (ACR) technology.

The lawsuits target Sony, Samsung, LG, and China-based companies
Hisense and TCL Technology Group Corporation. Attorney General Ken
Paxton's office also highlighted "serious concerns" about the two
Chinese companies being required to follow China's National Security
Law, which could give the Chinese government access to U.S.
consumers' data.

According to complaints filed this Monday in Texas state courts, the
TV makers can allegedly use ACR technology to capture screenshots of
television displays every 500 milliseconds, monitor the users'
viewing activity in real time, and send this information back to the
companies' servers without the users' knowledge or consent.

Pablo Rodriguez remet en question son avenir politique

Émotif et en pleurs, le chef libéral Pablo Rodriguez
remettait en question son avenir politique lors d’appels à
des proches mardi. Sa décision de reporter une réunion
déterminante de son caucus de 8 h 30 à 14 h ce mercredi a
alimenté des rumeurs sur une démission imminente dans les
rangs libéraux, de Québec à Ottawa.
