Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Or support our Kickstarter campaign! December saw plugin EVs take 68.6% share in Sweden, up from 62.8% year-on-year. BEV share grew marginally YoY, while PHEV share increased. Full year 2025 saw EVs at 63.2% share, up from 58.4% YoY, with two thirds of the gain coming from PHEVs. Overall December auto volume was 23,877 units, down some 9% YoY. Full year 2025 auto volume was 272,998 units, up just 1% from 2024.The Volvo EX40 was the best-selling BEV in December, and also for full year 2025. December’s auto…

I’m completely stumped on this. I can’t find anything that clearly explains to me what this code crashes when trying to run in on macOS but runs perfectly when on iOS. I’m very new to SwiftData, and had trouble just getting #Preview to function properly but managed to piece together enough online clues to work it out—but any tweaks I’ve tried to prevent the mac crash have proved useless thus far. I’ve simplified things and eliminated as much code as possible to keep the following text short but still show the issue at hand. The gist is that I’m constructing…

AWS IoT Greengrass is an open-source edge-runtime and cloud service that helps you build, deploy, and manage multi-process applications at scale and across your IoT fleet. AWS IoT Greengrass released V2 in December 2020 with a Java edge runtime known as a nucleus. With release 2.14.0 in December 2024, we introduced an additional edge runtime option, nucleus lite, which is written in C. AWS IoT Greengrass nucleus lite is a lightweight, open-source edge runtime that targets resource-constrained devices. It extends functional capabilities of AWS IoT Greengrass to low-cost, single-board computers for high-volume applications, such as smart home hubs, smart energy meters, smart vehicles, edge…

Something strange happened at University of California campuses this fall. For the first time since the dot-com crash, computer science enrollment dropped. System-wide, it fell 6% this year after declining 3% in 2024, according to reporting this past week by the San Francisco Chronicle. Even as overall college enrollment climbed 2% nationally — according to January data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center — students are bailing on traditional CS degrees. The one exception is UC San Diego — the only UC campus that added a dedicated AI major this fall. This all might look like a temporary blip…

Do you remember when having a great website was enough? Now, people are getting answers from Siri, Google search snippets, and mobile apps, not just our websites. Forward-thinking organizations have adopted an omnichannel content strategy, whose mission is to reach audiences across multiple digital channels and platforms. Article Continues Below But how do you set up a content management system (CMS) to reach your audience now and in the future? I learned the hard way that creating a content model—a definition of content types, attributes, and relationships that let people and systems understand content—with my more familiar design-system thinking would…

Over the past year, Jim O’Neill has become one of the most powerful people in public health. As the US deputy health secretary, he holds two roles at the top of the country’s federal health and science agencies. He oversees a department with a budget of over a trillion dollars. And he signed the decision memorandum on the US’s deeply controversial new vaccine schedule.He’s also a longevity enthusiast. In an exclusive interview with MIT Technology Review earlier this month, O’Neill described his plans to increase human healthspan through longevity-focused research supported by ARPA-H, a federal agency dedicated to biomedical breakthroughs.…

Summary created by Smart Answers AIIn summary:Tech Advisor highlights six critical errors in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation, including controversial casting of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie that deviates from the source material.The film removes essential characters like Hindley and Hareton while abandoning core themes of race and class struggle for superficial aesthetics resembling music videos.Despite rumors of erotic content, the adaptation fails as both romance and social commentary, transforming Brontë’s complex novel into a hollow spectacle. From the moment it was announced, Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. My initial joy was…

The energy-connectivity nexus For the past two years, the AI conversation has been dominated by compute power—GPUs, chips, and processing clusters. But according to Luis Colasante, Energy Strategy Lead at Colt Technology Services, we’re focusing on the wrong constraint. The real bottleneck limiting AI’s growth is the physical infrastructure that supports it. AI data centers consume two to three times more power than traditional cloud facilities, fundamentally transforming the economics of digital infrastructure. Energy availability has become “the ultimate gatekeeper” for AI expansion. Hyperscalers now spend more time negotiating with energy companies, local communities, and governments than optimizing their chip…

Darling’s last stage performance was over two years ago. By that point, he had already lost the ability to stand and play his instruments and was struggling to sing or speak. But recently, he was able to re-create his lost voice using an AI tool trained on snippets of old audio recordings. Another AI tool has enabled him to use this “voice clone” to compose new songs. Darling is able to make music again. “Sadly, I have lost the ability to sing and play my instruments,” Darling said on stage at the event, which took place in London on Wednesday,…
