Electric car owners are facing new challenges: in Russia, there may be fines for parking electric vehicles and hybrids in underground garages.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations has introduced new fire safety regulations. The reason is that parking these vehicles is now considered a "high-risk area" due to the characteristics of their batteries, even in the absence of charging stations.
From now on, electric vehicles can only be parked underground in designated sections with a maximum capacity of 10 cars. Otherwise, there will be fines of up to 50,000 rubles for individuals.

The Earth is officially overpopulated: there may not be enough resources on the planet to sustainably support future generations.
The optimal population size is only 2.5 billion. Currently, we are at 8 billion, and by 2070, this number could rise to 12 billion.
Soon, everyone will have to fend for themselves.

Google experienced one of the most ridiculous leaks in history when an employee lost a prototype of smartwatches in the Caribbean Sea. A diver accidentally discovered the device.
It turned out that the diver was a friend of the head of Gearbox studio, which caused the story to go viral almost immediately.
Typically, prototypes of devices are left behind in cafes and bars, but the tester for the Pixel Watch 5 took it to a whole new level.

Chatbots are less prone to making things up, but they are now much better at lying. Researchers from Harvard have noticed that the latest models tend to assert their mistakes with greater confidence.
Instead of acknowledging errors, these neural networks often resort to flattery when challenged. In 66% of cases, the AI may overlook important details to maintain a favorable overall impression.
This issue can be addressed with a prompt at the beginning of the chat:
This approach will lead to clearer responses from the bot, significantly aiding in work or discussions on personal matters.

We're playing PSP games right in the browser: a web version of the popular PPSSPP emulator has been released.
It works on any device and supports gamepads. All you need to do is upload the game's ISO file. The interface closely resembles the original PSP. You can also connect your own game library.
We've already tested it with God of War and Patapon — it works! You can revisit the classics here.

Will iPhone owners in Russia be left without 5G? Although networks are being prepared for launch, Apple may not grant operators access, according to reports from the media.
The company issues approvals for connections on a case-by-case basis. However, there is a catch: since 2022, Apple has nearly stopped its interactions with Russian operators.
It's possible that Apple will eventually grant access based on the principle of technological neutrality. Otherwise, we may have to wait for new workaround solutions.

Working at night can harm the brain: those who work after midnight may experience a reduction in various areas of the brain over time.
Neurobiologists studied 14,200 MRI scans. The longer a person works on an unstable schedule, the more their brain suffers. Night shift workers showed declines in memory, thinking, and emotional control.
However, these losses are reversible—if one stops working night shifts, the brain can partially recover within 2.5 years.

AI has caused companies to incur $1.4 trillion in losses—which is more than the GDP of Saudi Arabia.
Only Nvidia is profiting from the boom, with a net revenue of $253 billion from AI. The other top players in Silicon Valley are spending tens and hundreds of billions, but so far, it's been in vain.
No, it's definitely not a bubble.
