Borneo’s rainforest is frequently dated to around 130 million years old — older than the Andes mountains themselves — yet a single tree planted in rows has replaced vast stretches of it within a few decades

Borneo's lowland dipterocarp rainforest is roughly 130 million years old — older than the Andes — yet decades of oil palm expansion have replaced vast stretches of it with rows of a single cultivated tree.

EU Won't Require User-Replaceable Batteries for Wearables

The European Commission has exempted wearables from upcoming EU rules requiring portable-device batteries to be removable and user-replaceable. The broader Batteries Regulation still takes effect in February 2027 for many consumer products, but the exemption means companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and Meta won't have to redesign their wearables for the EU. Thurrott reports: Yesterday, the Commission announced that new product categories would be exempted from complying with its Batteries... Read more

Nearly three in ten American households are now a single person living alone — up from fewer than one in ten in 1940, one of the quietest social revolutions on record, remaking how the country lives.

Nearly three in ten American homes now contain exactly one person. In 1940 the figure was fewer than one in ten. That shift, measured across eight decades, is one of the largest changes in how the country lives, and it happened without a single defining moment to mark it. he U.S. Census Bureau put a ...

By a new Microsoft tally, a worker is interrupted every two minutes of the working day — around 275 times — as after-hours pings and meetings past eight in the evening keep climbing, blurring the line between work and rest

One number from Microsoft’s June report spread fast: 275. That is how many times, on average, a worker gets interrupted in a day by a meeting, an email, or a chat notification. Spread across normal work hours, that works out to an interruption roughly every two minutes. The figure came from Microsoft’s WorkLab, which published ... Read more Read more

The adults who spend their final years giving things away aren’t letting go of the past — they’re making sure the people they love won’t have to face an entire lifetime of accumulated objects alone, in grief, without them there to explain what any of it meant

When an older adult starts giving things away, the easy reading is that they are preparing to disappear. The furniture, the jewellery, the books, the tools, the boxes of photographs: each departure can look like a small surrender. There is another way to read it. Sometimes the person is not letting go of the past. ... Read more Read more

Researchers who study happiness across decades keep arriving at the same uncomfortable finding: income, relationships, and health matter less than whether a person can sit inside an ordinary moment without mentally reaching for a better one.

The uncomfortable part of happiness research is not that money fails to matter, or that relationships fail to matter, or that health fails to matter. All three matter. The uncomfortable part is that none of them fully protects a person from the habit of being elsewhere. A person can be sitting in a safe home, ... Read more Read more

Psychology says that many of the friendships we carry into old age are the ones formed before thirty — not simply because of loyalty, but because there is a natural limit to how many close relationships the human brain can sustain.

The friendships people carry into old age often look, from the outside, like proof of loyalty. Two people still call each other after fifty years. Three old friends still meet for lunch. A school friend still knows the family story without needing the short version. It is easy to explain this as sentiment: they stayed ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who stay genuinely fit into their 70s aren’t unusually motivated or genetically lucky — they’re often the ones who never separated movement from the life they actually wanted to live

The usual story about people who stay fit into their 70s is a story about exceptional character. They must be more motivated. They must have better genes. They must enjoy pain, discipline, early mornings, strict routines, and the kind of private willpower most people cannot sustain. It is a clean story, but it explains less ... Read more Read more

We picture AI as weightless, but by one 2025 estimate a single year of GPT-4o’s replies may need enough freshwater to cover the drinking needs of 1.2 million people

Every time you type a question into a chatbot, the reply feels weightless. But the machines that produce it run hot, and cooling them takes water. One 2025 estimate does the maths: multiply a single chatbot reply by roughly 700 million a day, across a year, and the water lost to cooling would match a ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who reach their 40s and 50s feeling lonely aren’t socially broken — they’re often the ones who poured the most into careers, caregiving, and keeping others afloat, and simply ran out of room for themselves

The loneliness that arrives in midlife is often not a sign of failing at relationships. It tends to fall on the people who spent two decades being the reliable one, and left no room for themselves. Read more

A generation ago the typical first-time American homebuyer was in their late twenties; today, NAR says the median has hit a record 40, priced out and waiting — and first-time buyers now make up the smallest share of the market ever measured

The obvious reading of a first-time homebuyer reaching a median age of 40 is that young Americans are waiting longer by choice, renting into their late thirties, delaying the whole project of settling down. The data, however, points the other way. The National Association of REALTORS reported in November 2025 that the first-time buyer share ... Read more Read more
