· 8 source(s)

WIRED reviews Meta's third-generation Ray-Ban smart glasses, reports on a federal tax break for rural data centers, and previews Keurig's plastic-free pod. Ars Technica reports the death of Milt Windler, a NASA flight director who helped save Apollo 13.

WIRED reviewed the Meta Glasses Nova (Gen 3), the latest smart glasses made by Meta and Ray-Ban. According to WIRED, the new model has slightly better batteries and microphones, and it still includes cameras. The review's headline assessment is that there is not much new in the third generation.

WIRED reports that under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, data center projects in rural areas could be eligible for major federal tax benefits starting next year. The report adds that some hyperscalers do not seem eager to take the free cash.

Keurig is preparing to replace the plastic K-Cup with a compostable pod that contains no plastic or aluminum, WIRED reported in a first look at the Keurig Alta brewer. WIRED noted that the price of the new system is steep.

In science coverage, WIRED reports that a global network of detectors is producing some of the most substantial measurements yet of geoneutrinos, particles created deep underground by radioactive elements that drive the planet's tectonic activity. The measurements are contributing to a new map of Earth's volatile interior.

Ars Technica reports that Milt Windler, a NASA flight director who helped save the Apollo 13 mission, has died at 94. The report quotes him saying, "...we were making history."
