AI Newsletter Launches, EV Costs, & UI Framework

A new UI framework for developers, a discounted home printer, and the environmental costs of green technology are among the latest developments in the tech world. Additionally, a new AI newsletter and a scientist's mission to improve accessibility are also making headlines.

According to Wired, Best Buy is offering a significant markdown on the Epson ET-2980 printer, reducing its price by $100 to $220. The printer, which is a favorite of the publication, is an ink tank printer that offers thousands of pages of printing before needing a refill.

Meanwhile, MIT Technology Review announced the launch of "Making AI Work," a new AI mini-course newsletter. The newsletter will provide weekly case studies exploring tools and tips for AI implementation across various sectors. The publication has been exploring AI's limitations, potential dangers, and growing energy needs for years.

In other tech news, Hacker News highlighted LiftKit, an open-source UI framework designed to solve symmetry problems in user interfaces. The framework dynamically reduces padding based on font size to correct issues with button icon spacing.

Nature News featured a profile of Josh Miele, a blind scientist and inventor of adaptive technology. Miele, a 2021 MacArthur Foundation genius fellow, has dedicated his career to making life more user-friendly for the disability community. In the 1990s, before the invention of GPS, Miele would climb street signs to feel the embossed letters to determine his location.

Another article in Nature News explored the environmental costs of green technology, specifically focusing on electric vehicles. As global demand for battery components rises, resource-rich nations are intensifying mining efforts for key minerals. The article highlighted the impact of electronic devices on the demand for metals like cobalt, copper, and tungsten, which are essential for batteries.
