Scientists Managed to Make Broadband Speeds 4.5 Million Times Faster
A new method allowed scientists in the UK to send data 4.5 million times faster than average broadband, setting a new world record. Aston University developed an optical amplifier that allows data wavelengths to operate in the E-band, which researchers say is about three times wider than traditional wavelengths used for data transmission. Before this breakthrough, no one was able to emulate E-band channels in a controlled way. The breakthrough could be a revolution in internet speeds across the spectrum of users.

Oregon’s governor signs right-to-repair law that bans ‘parts pairing’
Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has now signed one of the strongest US right-to-repair bills into law. Oregon’s SB 1596 will take effect next year, and, like similar laws introduced in Minnesota and California, it requires device manufacturers to allow consumers and independent electronics businesses to purchase the necessary parts and equipment required to make their own device repairs.“We need to cut down the insane cycle of churning through personal electronics — and that starts by empowering repair,” Nathan Proctor, the Public Interest Research Group’s (PIRG) right to repair campaign senior director, “Oregon’s nation-leading Right to Repair law will keep devices working and off the scrap heap."

AI Will Suck Up 500% More Power in UK in 10 Years, Grid CEO Says
Electricity demand from UK data centers will jump sixfold over the next 10 years as a boom in artificial intelligence requires increased computing power, according to the head of National Grid Plc. That will ramp up pressure on the country’s electricity network, which must move vast quantities of renewable energy from as far away as Scottish wind farms to data centers around London. And it’s a grid already under strain from the accelerating electrification of home heating, transportation and industries.

Apple accused of monopolizing smartphone markets in US antitrust lawsuit
The U.S. Department of Justice and 15 states on Thursday sued Apple, alleging it used the powerful demand for its iPhone and other products to drive up prices for its services and hurt smaller rivals, the latest move in a U.S. crackdown on Big Tech. In the lawsuit, the U.S. accused Apple is making its products worse for consumers to block competitors and cited five examples where Apple used mechanisms to suppress technologies that would have increased competition among smartphones: so-called "super apps," cloud stream game apps, messaging apps, smartwatches and digital wallets.

Intel Receives $8.5 Billion in Grants to Build Chip Plants
President Biden on Wednesday awarded $8.5 billion in grants to Intel, a major investment to bolster the nation’s semiconductor production, during a tour of battleground states meant to sell his economic agenda. The award, which will go to the construction and expansion of Intel facilities around the United States, is the biggest the federal government has made with funding from the CHIPS Act, which lawmakers passed in 2022 to help re-establish the United States as a leader in semiconductor manufacturing.

Digital motorväg mellan Luleå och Berlin klar
En “digital autobahn” som kopplar samman Tyskland och Norden är nu färdigbyggd. Fiberkabeln kommer att addera kapacitet för dataöverföring motsvarande dagens samlade internettrafik i hela Norden. Genom den nya “digitala motorvägen” ökar kapaciteten för dataöverföring motsvarande dagens totala internettrafik i hela Norden. – Digital infrastruktur blir viktigare och viktigare. Det behövs digital infrastruktur som är säker och alltid tillgänglig, säger Patrik Gylesjö, projektansvarig vid företaget Global Connect
