Microsoft’s deal to bring back a Three Mile Island nuclear reactor is just one part of Big Tech’s quid pro quo with nuclear power.

Figma announced Make Designs in June as a way for designers to use generative AI to help start app designs, but early users quickly showed how it could mock up a weather app that looked remarkably close to Apple’s iPhone weather app. Although Figma insisted that the feature wasn’t trained on customer data — in fact, Figma said it didn’t train the off-the-shelf generative AI models used — the company removed the feature to give it more testing. Now it’s coming back, called “First Draft,” and like Figma’s other AI features, it’s available currently in a limited beta. Figma is also adding features to First Draft as part of the relaunch: We’re also introducing some key updates, like letting you choose from one of four libraries depending on...

The first stage of ULA's second Vulcan rocket was raised onto its launch platform August 11 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. United Launch Alliance is free to compete for NASA contracts with its new Vulcan rocket after a successful test flight earlier this year, ending a period where SpaceX was the only company competing for rights to launch the agency's large science missions. For several years, ULA was unable to bid for NASA launch contracts after the company sold all of its remaining Atlas V rockets to other customers, primarily for Amazon's Project Kuiper Internet network. ULA could not submit its new Vulcan rocket, which will replace the Atlas V, for NASA to consider in future launch contracts until the Vulcan completed at least one successful flight, according to Tim Dunn, senior launch director at NASA's Launch Services Program. The Vulcan rocket's first certification flight on January 8, called Cert-1, was nearly flawless, demonstrating the launcher's methane-fueled BE-4 engines built by Blue Origin and an uprated twin-engine Centaur upper stage. A second test flight, known as Cert-2, is scheduled to lift off no earlier than October 4 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. Assuming the upcoming launch is as successful as the first one, the US Space Force aims to launch its first mission on a Vulcan rocket by the end of the year.

The rumor mill is churning about a sub-$500 Razr from Motorola, though it probably will only debut overseas.

Dab Motors has announced a new finish for its Dab 1a electric motorcycle that’s inspired by Nintendo’s atomic purple Game Boy Color. Customers who preorder the bike, which starts at €14,900 (over $16,500 USD), can opt for a transparent purple body that will look familiar to those who remember playing the handheld. Created by Dab Motors’ “bespoke service branch,” the atomic purple version of the Dab 1a also includes custom handlebars with controls made to look like the Game Boy Color’s D-pad and action buttons. Between them, the bike’s screen features an overlay with a red status light on one side mimicking the Game Boy display many of us spent too much of our childhood staring at.
