  • Meta to Invest $600 Billion to Build AI Data Centers in the US by 2028
    November 9, 2025, 6:00 PM EST. Meta plans to invest $600 billion in the United States by 2028 to build AI data centers. In a Friday press release, the company said it will continue to scale infrastructure for the future of AI while supporting host communities. In an Oct. 29 earnings call, Meta projected capital-spend growth to be notably larger in 2026 than 2025, with total expenses rising faster next year. The biggest driver is compute-both company-owned data centers and third-party cloud services-followed by AI talent costs. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said rising demand for compute supports a larger investment as potentially profitable over time. Some investors have shown patience concerns after previous metaverse-related spend. Separately, AI investments are expected to boost the debt issuance market, with U.S. investment-grade bonds reaching about $1.7-$1.85 trillion through 2025-26.
  • The Little-Known Android Clipboard Manager Shortcut I Use Every Day
    November 9, 2025, 5:56 PM EST. Android's Clipboard manager extends the basic clipboard by storing text, links, images, and screenshots for later paste. It lets you copy items in bulk, manage multiple entries, and keep them available across actions until they're expired after an approximate hour (with pinned items exempt). This makes Android noticeably faster and more flexible than iOS, which typically only stores the most recent clip. In practice, you can save repeated text and media inside the Clipboard manager and paste from it later in any keyboard app. It's easy to use on popular devices, and it helps reduce clutter while avoiding repeated retyping.

  • Dispatch Could Get a Season 2 as AdHoc Studios Ponders Future After Huge Success
