The UK is seeking to fast-track new atomic development to meet soaring energy demands driven by AI and electrification. According to a new report published by the government's Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce, excessive regulation has made Britain the most expensive place in the world to build nuclear projects. The report is calling for a sweeping overhaul to accelerate reactor construction -- everything from "streamlining regulation" to relaxing environmental and safety constraints. The Register reports: The document outlines 47 recommendations for the government, which come under five general areas: providing clearer leadership and direction for the nuclear sector; simplifying the regulatory approval process for atomic projects; reducing risk aversion; addressing incentives to delay progress; and working with the nuclear sector to speed delivery and boost innovation. Among the recommendations is that a Commission for Nuclear Regulation should be established, becoming a "unified decision maker" across all other regulators, planners, and approval bodies. The report also talks of reforming environmental and planning regimes to speed approvals, echoing the government's earlier decisions to streamline the planning process to make it easier for datacenter projects to get built.
It recommends amending the cost cap for judicial reviews and limiting legal challenges to Nationally Strategic Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), while indemnifying nuclear developers against any damages they might incur as a result of proceeding with their project while a judicial review is still being decided. Another recommendation that may be cause for concern is that the government should modify the Habitats Regulations to reduce costs. These are rules created to protect the most important and vulnerable natural sites and wildlife species across the UK. The report also states that radiation limits for workers are overly conservative and well below what could be appropriately considered "broadly acceptable," claiming that they are many times less than what the average person in the UK normally receives in a year.

Plex is beginning to enforce new restrictions on remote streaming for its TV apps, requiring either a Plex Pass or the cheaper Remote Watch Pass to watch media from servers outside your home network. How-To Geek reports: Plex is now rolling out the remote watch changes to its Roku TV app. This means that you will need a Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass for your Plex account if you want to stream media from a server outside your home. If you're only watching media from your own server on the same local network as your Roku device, or the owner of the server you're streaming from has Plex Pass, you don't have to do anything.
Plex says this change will come to the other TV apps in 2026, such as Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV. Presumably, that will happen when the redesigned app arrives on those platforms. Roku was just the first TV platform to get the new app, which caused a wave of complaints from users about removed functionality and a more clunky redesign. Plex is addressing some of those complaints with more updates, but adding another limitation at the same time isn't a great look.
The Remote Watch Pass costs $2 per month or $20 per year, but there's no lifetime purchase option. You can also use a Plex Pass, which normally costs $7 per month, $70 per year, or $250 for a lifetime license. However, there's currently a 40% off sale for Plex Pass subscriptions.

BEIJING/SINGAPORE (ANP/RTR) - China heeft minstens tien ladingen Amerikaanse sojabonen gekocht in contracten die sinds dinsdag zijn getekend. Dat meldt persbureau Reuters op basis van twee handelaren met kennis van de deals. Dit versterkt de piek in Chinese aankopen van Amerikaanse goederen na de recente dooi in de handelsbetrekkingen tussen de VS en China.
Alle ladingen zijn gepland voor verzending in januari vanuit Amerikaanse terminals aan de Mexicaanse Golfkust en havens in het noordwesten van de Stille Oceaan, aldus de bronnen.
De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump zei dinsdag dat hij de Chinese president Xi Jinping tijdens een telefoongesprek op maandag had aangespoord de aankopen van Amerikaanse goederen door Beijing te versnellen en te verhogen. De Chinese leider had "min of meer ingestemd", aldus Trump.

We beginnen deze woensdag op veel plaatsen grotendeels bewolkt en kan het ook nevelig zijn. Wel is het droog en staat er vandaag maar weinig wind. In de loop van de middag komt de zon er steeds vaker bij en oogt het weerbeeld een stuk vriendelijker. Wel is het aan de frisse kant met temperaturen van maximaal een graad of 6.
De cosmetica-industrie is een miljardenbusiness die nog altijd groeit. Wat ze verkoopt is dan ook onweerstaanbaar: schoonheid, eeuwige jeugd, nooit meer een vlekje. Wat smeren we eigenlijk op ons gezicht?

Creating 37 supers in a decade is impressive. The homegrown tech in them, less so
Supercomputing Month In the decade since India launched its National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), the nation has commissioned 37 machines with a combined power of 39 petaFLOPS, with another 35-petaFLOPS hybrid due to come online later this year. But while plenty of those machines use locally developed technology, India is yet to deliver on its ambition to become a leader or major semiconductor player.…
