Original title: ‘This Is Not a Drill’ Review: Climate Activism Doc Feels Stuck in a More Hopeful Past Had This Is Not a Drill, the new documentary from Oren Jacoby (Sister Rose’s Passion), premiered at the Telluride Film Festival last fall, it would have played as an inspiring story of three grassroots environmentalists taking on Big Oil, offering optimistic examples of individual courage and collective determination in the face of endlessly funded and institutionally supported adversaries. Alas, This Is Not a Drill did not premiere at the Telluride Film Festival last fall. And whether or not you recognize the specific campaigns and causes advocated for by these grassroots environmentalists, you probably have access to newspapers. Therefore, you know that a well-funded right-wing political movement and an unscrupulous and single-minded leader can, in mere months, wipe out decades of incremental regulatory improvements. This Is Not a Drill The Bottom Line Inspiring characters, but rushed and poorly formed. Venue: Telluride Film Festival Director: Oren Jacoby 1 hour 20 minutes Jacoby’s f ...

Original title: Equinor Backs Orsted Share Sale Despite Trump Targeting Wind Equinor ASA will spend almost $1 billion backing Orsted A/S’s share sale, in a crucial show of support as the Danish firm seeks to steady its finances following the Trump’s administration’s attacks on offshore wind. The Norwegian energy company plans to maintain its 10% stake in Orsted by subscribing for as much as 6 billion Danish kroner ($940 million) of new shares in the Danish wind developer. Backing from Equinor — Orsted’s second-biggest shareholder — is seen as crucial to getting wider support from investors for the proposed 60 billion-krone ($9.4 billion) capital raise. ...

Original title: Meta is struggling to rein in its AI chatbots Meta is changing some of the rules governing its chatbots two weeks after a Reuters investigation revealed disturbing ways in which they could, potentially, interact with minors. Now the company has told TechCrunch that its chatbots are being trained not to engage in conversations with minors around self-harm, suicide, or disordered eating, and to avoid inappropriate romantic banter. These changes are interim measures, however, put in place while the company works on new permanent guidelines. The updates follow some rather damning revelations about Meta’s AI policies and enforcement over the last several weeks, including that it would be permitted to “engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” that it would generate shirtless images of underage celebrities when asked, and Reuters even reported that a man died after pursuing one to an address it gave him in New York. Meta spokesperson Stephanie Otway acknowledged to TechCrunch that the company had made a mistake in a ...

Original title: Apple Says 11-Inch MacBook Air and Two Other Macs Are Now Obsolete Apple today added three Macs to the obsolete products list on its website, including the final model of the MacBook Air with a smaller 11-inch display. The three Macs that are now obsolete: MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 4 Thunderbolt 3 Ports) MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) A device becomes “obsolete” once more than seven years have passed since Apple stopped distributing it for sale. Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers typically do not repair obsolete products, but Apple says MacBooks may be eligible for battery replacements for up to 10 years after distribution ended, subject to parts availability. Apple discontinued the 11-inch MacBook Air following its October 2016 event, moments after introducing the first MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar. Given that the 11-inch MacBook Air was just added to the obsolete list now, however, it likely remained available through select resellers until at least some point in 2018. The current MacBook Air ...

Original title: Best Handheld Fan and Wearable Fan (2025), Tested and Reviewed This fan was a godsend during a sweltering outdoor concert. It bends at the neck, so I was able to set it up on the picnic table and blast it toward my face without even holding it, then straighten it back into the standard position to carry it with me as I walked around. It also comes with a lanyard that allows you to hang it from your neck. It felt stronger than the other handheld fans I tested, and I liked that the blades were contained, which made the airflow feel more concentrated and meant I couldn’t catch them on anything. It kept my face from melting off on the 100-degree day I used it, and while it isn’t slim enough to slide into a clutch or pocket (like some other fans on the list), it fit into my small crossbody bag. There are five speed levels, and the 5,000-mAh battery lasts from three to 12 hours depending on which level you’re using. A digital display lets you know what level you’re using and how much battery life you have left (you can get a full charge in three hours). ...
