For example, research forecasts that 45 percent of grocery shopping activities will be handled by AI within five years. As a specific area, smart AI integration in retail and homes can reduce food waste by 30 percent through precise demand forecasting and expiration monitoring. Research from the firm ZeroBounce , reveals how AI quietly helps in everyday tasks—proving itself not just a tool for tech enthusiasts but an ally in the modern home and workspace. Digital Journal assesses the highlights: Grocery Shopping – Smart Grocery Shopping with AI With the power of AI-powered apps , consumers can get tailored grocery lists, price comparisons, and real-time stock updates. Research shows that AI could reduce grocery prices by up to 20 percent through optimized inventory and logistics. Within five years, an estimated 45 percent of grocery shopping tasks will be automated, thanks to AI’s ability to predict consumer needs with uncanny accuracy. Dish Washing – Efficient Cleaning Made Easy Modern dishwashers are making household chores smarter by assessing dish types and quantities and then automatically adjusting water temperature, pressure, and cycle duration for the best clean. Within the next five years, automation is expected to take over 33 percent of dishwashing tasks, making everyday life more convenient. The dishwasher industry is projected to reach a revenue of $14.9 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 7.1 percent, driven by the increasing demand for automated home appliances. Cooking – Intelligent Meal Prep AI-driven cooking systems enhance kitchen efficiency and sustainability by helping chefs optimize menu planning, forecast ingredient needs, and reduce food waste. AI can even factor in external conditions, like weather or local events, that might affect ingredient availability or customer demand. Research shows that integrating AI-based systems to track waste could cut food waste by up to 30 percent within just one year. As an example, 32 percent of cooking tasks are set to be automated in the coming years, making the kitchen much more efficient and user-friendly. Laundry – Smarter Fabric Care The integration of AI in washers and dryers ensures that detergent use and cycle settings are personalized, improving overall laundry care. Washing machine producers (Samsung, LG) state that by tailoring wash parameters to fabric specifics, AI machines ensure more efficient and gentle processes, extending garment life and reducing environmental impact. Smart machines also estimate energy and water consumption, improving efficiency. Automation is expected to handle 29 percent of laundry tasks in the next five years, making laundry care more convenient and efficient. Pet Care – Simplified Health and Feeding Advanced pet care devices, including smart feeders and activity monitors, are transforming how we care for our pets by automating feeding schedules and tracking health. Research from the American Veterinary Medical Association highlights that more veterinarians are adopting AI tools for diagnostic imaging and managing medical records. With these innovations, it is projected that 21 percent of pet care tasks will be automated in the next five years, enhancing both convenience and the quality of care for pets. Commenting on the findings, Liviu Tanase, CEO at ZeroBounce tells Digital Journal: “AI is turning everyday chores into effortless experiences—whether it’s grocery shopping tailored to your preferences or dishwashing cycles optimized without a second thought. It’s all about making life easier, freeing up time, and letting people focus on what truly matters. As technology continues to evolve, it’s simplifying routines in ways we never imagined. This transformation is not just about convenience; it’s about redefining how we live and interact with the world around.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

The Los Angeles Chargers secondary has been hit with multiple injuries all season. Nearly every starter has missed time due to injury. The latest are injuries to cornerbacks Eli Apple , Cam Hart , and safety Alohi Gilman. Chargers Move Apple To IR, Sign Maye On Wednesday afternoon, the team announced they were moving Apple to injured reserve, while the LA Times’ Thuc Nhi Nguyen reported that both Hart and Gilman did not practice with the team. Hart missed the team’s game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion/ankle. Gilman was injured in that game. In an attempt to put a band-aid, the temas claimed former Miami Dolphins safety Marcus Maye off waivers. Maye was a second-round pick in the 2017 draft where he was picked by the New York Jets. He played with the Jets for five seasons before signing with the New Orleans Saints. After two years with the Saints, he signed with the Dolphins, where he has been for the last two seasons. Maye has been featured heavily over the last four games. In limited playing time this season, Maye has combined for 30 tackles, including a tackle for loss and he has forced a fumble. The Chargers also have safeties Tony Jefferson, Emany Johnson, and Kendall Williamson, as well as, cornerbacks, Dicaprio Bootle and Shaun Wade on their practice squad.

We don’t see a supply deficit issue situation at all. So, it should be lower LSFO refining margins and weaker market structure ... We see no way for the LSFO stockpiles not to build,” a Singapore-based trader said. After exports from Kuwait’s Al-Zour mega refinery flooded the Asian LSFO market, disrupting some traditional flows from European markets, Singapore — the world’s largest bunkering hub — has seen incremental LSSR supplies from Nigeria’s new Dangote refinery. More recently, shipments of Meleck crude from Niger have arrived, but sources said the West African heavy sweet crude is unlikely to be a significant dampener for the market going forward. “We are expecting higher supplies to weigh on the LSFO market amid lackluster demand growth ... With the threat of tariffs, status quo of the Red Sea disruption, adoption of scrubbers and use of alternative fuels, LSFO demand growth will be pressured,” Kendrick Wee, research and analysis director at Commodity Insights, said. “More supplies are likely coming out of Kuwait into the market, although most of the increases would have already been seen in 2024. These may not directly come to Asia, but they will still indirectly help ease the LSFO balance. Additionally, we are expecting the resumption of heavy sweet crude exports from South Sudan to add more supplies,” Wee added. The LSFO cash differential for physical cargoes against the Mean of Platts Singapore strip has averaged $5.96/mt so far in 2024 through Dec. 20, compared with $10.37/mt in 2023 and $26.08/mt in 2022, Commodity Insights data showed. In the Singapore downstream market, traders also anticipate that ongoing price competition from alternative bunker supply locations, such as Malaysia and China’s Zhoushan hub, could create additional headwinds for the demand outlook in 2025. The proportion of high sulfur fuel oil bunker sales has been consistently increasing in 2024, while low sulfur marine fuel sales dwindled, as newer scrubber-fitted ships coming out of shipyards joined the global commercial fleet and drove consumption of the dirtier fuel grade. “I think that story will continue. I think we will still have a slightly marginal increase of HSFO bunker sales ... Overall, we think high sulfur will continue to nibble away at the low sulfur percentage of usage,” a trader said. “There are still some ships coming out in 2025 that will allow a little bit of growth on the high sulfur side relative to low sulfur. But we don’t think it is an economic proposition at this point to put on new scrubbers,” the trader added. Although the percentage of HSFO bunker sales continues to increase relative to LSFO, several market sources said this trend is starting to stagnate. Over January-November, HSFO accounted for an average of 36.6% of monthly bunker sales, up from the 32.2% average in 2023, according to the latest data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. Meanwhile, the proportion of LSFO in total sales fell to an average of 55.5% from 60.3% over the same period. “It is plateauing ... Sure, more scrubber-fitted ships will join the fleet in 2025, but the acceleration in uptake is slowing ... In 2025, some 200-300 scrubber ships will join the global fleet, which is about half the number in 2024,” Roslan Khasawneh, senior oil analyst at Kpler, said. “IMO 2020 obviously prompted demand for scrubbers, but at the same time, the world was in lockdown at the start of the decade, forcing many shipyards to delay installations into the past couple of years.” “On top of that, the focus is now on decarbonization, and demand for ‘cleaner’ alternative fuels is on the rise, chipping away at the demand growth potential of conventional fuels,” Khasawneh added. The Platts-assessed spread between Singapore 0.5%S marine fuel oil and the benchmark HSFO cargo prices — known as the Hi-5 spread — was at $87.99/mt on Dec. 20, Commodity Insights data showed. The spread has averaged $126.78/mt so far in 2024, compared with an average of $147.48/mt in 2023, the data showed. Source:

What you need to know about the mysterious drones spotted in the US

Peacock’s ‘Hysteria!’ set in Michigan during 1980s satanic panicArtificial intelligence has changed how people work and live in 2024, as companies create tools that can write code, generate images, and solve complex problems. The technology is seemingly everywhere, and while the advances have brought excitement, they have also kindled concern about AI's growing influence. Reflecting on another big year for AI, Creatie.ai curated five of the biggest AI stories in 2024. Issues of copyright and intellectual property, creative control, and how AI is being leveraged in business topped the list. "There's still a pretty wide delta that exists between a power user who's using it [AI] in their workflows, every different way, who has multiscreens, multitools... and those who are still resistant, saying they don't want to get involved with it," Brandon Z. Hoff told Stacker. Hoff, the founder of RUDI AI, a consultancy that helps organizations implement AI technology responsibly, found this "shocking" given that AI is "really one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time." As more people integrate AI tools into their personal and professional lives, questions emerge about privacy and fairness. Some businesses praise AI's ability to speed up productivity, while civil liberties groups and data privacy organizations worry about data protection and job security. Government officials have also stepped in to figure out how best to implement guardrails on this fast-moving technology while also allowing room for it to evolve. Some of 2024's biggest AI headlines came from policymakers working to establish safe practices. In the U.S., the Colorado AI Act was the first state legislation of its kind intended to set requirements for high-risk AI systems used in education, financial services, and other critical industries. It also sought consumer protections and accountability measures. It was modeled after the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, which set guidelines for high-risk AI system providers and worked to safeguard transparent and safe development of AI applications. The year's biggest developments in AI illustrate the technology's rapid shift from a future possibility into a present reality. Read on to see where AI made the most significant impact. Open AI's advanced reasoning reimagines problem solving OpenAI debuted AI models in 2024 called o1-preview and o1-mini that can tackle harder problems by working through solutions. The company offered o1-preview for general users, while o1-mini provided a faster, cheaper option for writing code, according to the company's official system card. These tools mark an important shift in AI's capacity for reasoning, Northwestern University researchers explain. Instead of just giving quick answers like earlier AI, these new models work through problems step-by-step, more like how humans solve complex tasks. OpenAI reported that tests showed significant improvements in the system's abilities. The model could solve 83% of complex math competition problems, while older versions only solved 13%, illustrating how this slower, more careful approach dramatically improved results. In analyzing chemistry, physics, and biology problems, the new model outperformed PhD-level scientists in problem-solving proficiency. However, these advances worry experts in the field. In an interview with Newsweek, computer science professor and AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio called the improvement in AI's reasoning and potential for deception "particularly dangerous" and called for better regulation. AI receives widespread recognition, including from the Nobel Prizes Two Nobel Prizes recognized AI's growing impact on science in 2024, marking the first time artificial intelligence received such prestigious recognition. John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton received the Nobel Prize in physics for laying the groundwork for modern machine learning, while Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and researcher John Jumper shared half the chemistry prize for using AI to solve a 50-year-old protein structure problem, according to the Nobel Committee. The awards highlighted AI's potential and risks should the technology fall into the wrong hands. Hinton, dubbed the "godfather of AI," uses his Nobel platform to warn about the technology's potential for "getting out of control," The New York Times reported. He had previously told MIT Technology Review that he was deeply concerned that AI will surpass a human's ability to learn, creating a superintelligence that could too easily cause widespread harm, manipulation, or warfare in the hands of bad actors. Hassabis compared AI's risks to climate change, telling The Guardian that "we can't afford the same delay with AI." "This is more a Nobel moment for AI risk, rather than for AI itself," Bhaskar Chakravorti, dean of global business at Tufts University, wrote in Foreign Policy. He noted the prizes served as recognition of AI's transformative growth and a warning about its unchecked development. Major tech companies start integrating AI capabilities into core products, making it more accessible Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, and Google began building AI directly into everyday devices, bringing it to broader audiences in 2024. Features like enhanced photos, text-to-speech tools, personalized recommendations, and myriad other AI optimizations helped integrate AI into everyday tasks. Adoption varied widely, however. In CNBC's bi-annual survey of executives on its Technology Executive Council in October, 79% said their company was using Microsoft Copilot AI—though many questioned its $30 monthly per-user cost. Google's Gemini chatbot attracted 42 million active users and 1.5 million developers since its May launch, according to the Business of Apps. Apple followed with its own AI Intelligence that works across devices, though it's initially limited to its newest phones and computers with specific chips, the company announced in October. Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, which lets users translate conversations in real time and edit photos with simple taps, according to the company. The focus shifted from standalone AI tools to integrated features, but questions about data security were raised. While Apple emphasized the importance of privacy through on-device processing, sending personal data to company servers could expose it to government agencies, employees, or bad actors, according to security experts The New York Times interviewed in June. "We should be really looking at the cost benefit in terms of what we give up and what we get in exchange," said Hoff, who shares insights on AI and digital intelligence with his 14,000 TikTok followers. "Tools like Google's suite are free because they're tracking our information to sell to advertisers. Now, large language models are aggregating all our data at once, putting everything into an algorithmic black box that nobody really knows how works." Despite significant concerns, businesses increasingly embraced AI tools in 2024. "Business executives were, I think, resistant," Hoff said. "And now there's definitely an opening and receptiveness and a fear of missing out that exists on the private side." Claude 3.5 Sonnet transforms complex coding tasks When it launched in June 2024, Claude 3.5 Sonnet changed how coders work, quickly becoming a Silicon Valley favorite. The AI model solved 64% of coding problems in internal testing, according to Anthropic, the AI safety and research company behind Claude. The system could write new code and update old programs with fewer errors than previous versions, making it one of the most proficient—and popular—models powering AI-based software development tools such as Cursor. In October, Anthropic announced new features that let Claude use computers similarly to humans. The model could move a mouse, click buttons, and read screens to complete tasks. Tests by GitLab, a major software development platform, showed a 10% improvement in development tasks with these updates, spurring debates about AI's growing role in software development and its impact on programming jobs. Many current top-scoring AI software development agents are already based on Claude. Letting the model control computers directly could unlock even further productivity gains for businesses. In addition to coding, the model has been praised for its uncanny analytical ability and capacity to understand what users want. Many users have reported success using Claude as a sounding board to help them think through complex problems and make decisions in their personal lives. Flux AI image generation brings new visions to life Skateboarding cats, dazzlingly beautiful crystals, and politicians in compromising situations are just some of the ways Flux, a new AI image generation system from Black Forest Labs, churned up viral buzz around its hyper-realistic images. The system launched in August with $31 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz. The model uses 12 billion parameters to create images, making it more powerful than previous systems, according to the company. Advancements in parameters like fractal dimension and relative smoothness all contribute to Flux's ability to render extraordinary detail in human features, deft animations, and high-quality images. The model quickly drew the attention of the tech world. X (formerly Twitter) chose it to power image generation in its Grok-2 AI system, making the technology available to millions of users. However, this wide availability raised concerns about potential misuse, particularly around creating misleading images of political figures and spreading false content.

Pep Guardiola's Man City resignation stance clear after bold 'not sustainable' admission

'Feels like I had too much food': Stefanos Tsitsipas’ particular medical time-out at the United CupI decided to buy myself a present just before Christmas in the form of two (ASX: XKO) shares. If I have the funds, I like to regularly invest money in my portfolio to help accelerate wealth-building. By consistently putting my money to work, I can hopefully find what I view as the best opportunities at the time. It has been trickier to find appealing stocks in the last few months following a strong rally in share prices, which has pushed plenty of ASX 300 shares into what I'd describe as overpriced territory. Tuas Ltd ( ) Tuas is one of the stocks I'm most excited about in my portfolio. This is an that operates in Singapore. There are three key reasons why I'm bullish about the business. First, it's delivering impressive revenue growth. The ASX 300 share is winning over Singaporeans with its low-cost mobile offering active mobile services to 1.1 million. This drove a 33% increase in revenue to $35.5 million, showing the business continues to scale rapidly. The company is also gaining traction with a home broadband offering, unlocking another growth avenue. Second, becomes larger. Third, I believe the company could eventually grow its customer base beyond Singapore. If Tuas expands to a country like Indonesia or Malaysia, it would significantly extend its growth runway and mean it could make a lot more profit in the future. I had been buying Tuas shares for the last several months, and I decided to buy more after the stock dropped more than 10% from its peak on 9 December 2024. Brickworks Ltd ( ) High have been a painful headwind for building product demand, debt cost, and commercial property valuation. Brickworks is exposed to all of these areas. This ASX 300 share is one of the largest building product manufacturers. It manufactures bricks, pavers, stone and masonry, roofing, specialised building systems, cement and capital battens. It also owns half an industrial property trust alongside partner ( ). I view building product demand as cyclical, so this period of weakness could be an opportunistic time to invest in the ASX 300 share while sentiment is lower. Additionally, if the decides to cut the interest rate in 2025, this could spur demand for building products. A rate cut could also help the industrial property trust by lowering financing (debt) costs and possibly increasing the value of those properties. I'm excited by the industrial property trust's potential to grow rental profit through organic rental increases and the completion of additional warehouse properties in the next few years, which are currently in the pipeline. When those projects are built, they could also improve the underlying value of the land. Finally, I also like Brickworks's exposure to the appealing investment business ( ). Brickworks owns approximately a quarter of Soul Patts. This investment gives Brickworks a relatively stable and growing capital value and rising dividend compared to its cyclical building product earnings. I decided to invest in this ASX 300 share after the Brickworks share price fell more than 10% between 30 September 2024 and 20 December 2024.

After starting the season 12-3, the Warriors now find themselves 15-12 overall and have not won back-to-back games in a month. For the Golden State to get back on track, they are going to need everyone healthy, which isn't necessarily the case for Draymond Green at the moment. After missing two games at the start of the month due to a calf injury, Green recently missed the Warriors' 113-103 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday. Now, he is once again on the injury report ahead of this critical game with Indiana. This has led many Warriors fans to ask the question, "Is Draymond Green playing against the Pacers?"

Bryce Thompson scored 17 points and achieved a milestone as Oklahoma State defeated Miami 80-74 on Friday afternoon in a Charleston Classic consolation game in Charleston, S.C. Thompson made 6-of-14 shots from the floor, surpassing 1,000 points for his career at Oklahoma State (4-1), which also got 15 points from Marchelus Avery. The Cowboys won in large part thanks to their impressive 3-point shooting (10-for-22, 45.5 percent). Oklahoma State backup guard Arturo Dean, a Miami native, posted eight points and one steal. He led the nation in steals last season while playing for Florida International. Miami (3-2) has lost two straight games in Charleston, failing to take a lead at any point. They will play on Sunday against either Nevada or VCU. The Hurricanes on Friday were led by Nijel Pack, who had a game-high 20 points. Brandon Johnson had a double-double for Miami with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Matthew Cleveland scored 11 points and Lynn Kidd and Paul Djobet added 10 points apiece for Miami. Miami, which fell behind 7-0 in Thursday's loss to Drake, got behind 9-0 on Friday as Abou Ousmane scored six of his eight points. Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 18 before settling for a 43-27 advantage at the break. Pack led all first-half scorers with 10 points, but Miami shot just 29.6 percent from the floor, including 3-of-13 on 3-pointers (23.1). Oklahoma State shot 48.4 percent, including 8-for-15 on 3-pointers (53.3 percent) before intermission. The Cowboys also had a 14-8 edge in paint points. In the second half, Miami closed its 20-point deficit to 55-42 with 12:12 left. Miami got a bit closer as two straight short jumpers by Kidd, trimming the deficit to 73-62 with 3:25 to play. The Hurricanes cut it to 77-70 on Pack's 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining, but the Cowboys hit their free throws to close out the win. --Field Level Media

NEWARK, N.J. -- Issues continued on the rails on Monday as Amtrak riders tried to get to their holiday destinations. Some who travel out of Newark said they are facing delays up to 24 hours. Many Amtrak trains were back on track Monday after some lines stopped running on Sunday due to downed wires on Philadelphia tracks . A spokesperson said it's unclear if the cold weather was a factor, adding the agency is investigating. Amtrak officials are warning of service delays between New York's Penn Station and Philadelphia , as well as between Washington D.C. and Boston. Amtrak has been updating passengers on social media, but it is telling people to check on their schedules before heading to the train station. "I have to say, this morning went okay, but we were supposed to leave yesterday and so lots of hours in the train station and then finally giving up and rescheduling," said Rachel Nadelman of Washington D.C. "One of the trains (was) delayed," added Ella Lauren, also of D.C. Both were grateful, though, to finally make it to New Jersey. "Today is my mom's 80th birthday and that's where we're headed to a celebration," Nadelman said. Medical student Tia Fredricks of West Orange, New Jersey, said she got stuck in Philadelphia. "I was supposed to go on a train yesterday around 7 and it was delayed I think around four or five hours," Fredericks said. She said Amtrak let her reschedule, but added she has already lost a day with family. "It's so inconvenient. It's nice that we can reschedule, but as much money as we pay, if you look on the Amtrak app it's like over $100, $200 for these tickets," Fredericks said. Carlo and Alicia Nicoletta, who were taking the train from Florida, said Amtrak needs to fix what they call ongoing problems. "We lived in Tokyo for a while and let me tell you that public transportation system, not even a second late, ever," Carlo Nicoletta said. "It's really cold and, of course, I forgot my coat in Florida," Alicia Nicoletta said. Christine Sloan is an Emmy Award-winning reporter, who covers New Jersey for CBS News New York. Sloan re-joined the station in January 2023. She also worked at CBS News New York from 2004 to 2016.Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here.

DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. Bitcoin ticks closer to $100,000 in extended surge following US elections NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, setting another new high above $99,000 overnight. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks.

Australia rejects Elon Musk's claim that it plans to control access to the internet MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An Australian Cabinet minister has rejected X Corp. owner Elon Musk’s allegation that the government intends to control all Australians' access to the internet through legislation that would ban young children from social media. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Friday that Musk’s criticism was “unsurprising” after the government introduced legislation to Parliament that would fine platforms including X up to $133 million for allowing children under 16 to hold social media accounts. The spat continues months of open hostility between the Australian government and the tech billionaire over regulators’ efforts to reduce public harm from social media. Parliament could pass the legislation as soon as next week. Oil company Phillips 66 faces federal charges related to alleged Clean Water Act violations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oil company Phillips 66 has been federally indicted in connection with alleged violations of the Clean Water Act in California. The Texas-based company is accused of discharging hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial wastewater containing excessive amounts of oil and grease.

A spokesperson for the company said it was cooperating with prosecutors. US regulators seek to break up Google, forcing Chrome sale as part of monopoly punishment U.S. regulators want a federal judge to break up Google to prevent the company from continuing to squash competition through its dominant search engine after a court found it had maintained an abusive monopoly over the past decade. The proposed breakup floated in a 23-page document filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Justice Department calls for Google to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser and impose restrictions designed to prevent Android from favoring its search engine. Regulators also want to ban Google from forging multibillion-dollar deals to lock in its dominant search engine as the default option on Apple’s iPhone and other devices. What you need to know about the proposed measures designed to curb Google's search monopoly U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled that Google maintained an illegal monopoly. The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday could radically alter Google’s business. Regulators want Google to sell off its industry-leading Chrome web browser. They outlined a range of behavioral measures such as prohibiting Google from using search results to favor its own services such as YouTube, and forcing it to license search index data to its rivals. They're not going as far as to demand Google spin off Android, but are leaving that door open if the remedies don't work. Apple and Google face UK investigation into mobile browser dominance LONDON (AP) — A British watchdog says Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers. The watchdog's report Friday recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year. The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker’s tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. The CMA’s report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers “the clearest or easiest option.” Apple said it disagreed with the findings.

German auto supplier Bosch to cut 5,500 jobs in further sign of carmakers' woes FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Germany's technology and services company Bosch is cutting its automotive division workforce by as many as 5,500 jobs in the next several years, in another sign of the headwinds hitting the German and global auto industries. The company cited stagnating global auto sales, too much factory capacity in the auto industry compared to sales prospects and a slower than expected transition to electric-powered, software-controlled vehicles. Some 3,500 of the job reductions would come before the end of 2027 and would hit the part of the company that develops driver assistance and automated driving technologies. About half those job reductions would be at locations in Germany.
