Prices Everywhere Are Rising but T-Mobile Lets You Lock in Prices for 5 Years
It seems like the cost of everything is going up these days, especially with the recent tariffs taking effect. But T-Mobile is helping you keep your phone bill at the same price. Just like all monthly expenses, your phone plan can start to add up. However, when you opt to join a T-Mobile Experience plan, you can guarantee that your rate will be locked in for five years. You won't have to worry about a price hike until 2030. Keep in mind, this offer is not valid on a T-Mobile Essentials plan. You can choose between the Experience More or Beyond plans to get a locked in rate for five years. Both plans have unlimited talk, text and data, and full in-flight texting and Wi-Fi. The plans also come with Netflix. Experience More includes 60GB of hotspot and 5GB of data in over 215 countries. Experience Beyond offers unlimited hotspot, 15GB of data in over 215 countries and access to Apple TV and Hulu. And if you want to add a watch or tablet to your Beyond plan, you can do so for just $5 more per month. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Both plans also include a third line for free. The Experience More plan is $140 per month for three lines when you use autopay. The Experience Beyond plan is $170 per month when you use autopay. These prices do not include taxes and fees. You're saving up to $60 when getting a third line for free. If you're over the age of 55, a first responder or a veteran, you can get an additional discount. You'll also get to take advantage of T-Mobile perks every Tuesday, from discounted movie tickets to freebies. Why this deal matters The T-Mobile five-year price guarantee is a great way to ensure that your phone bill won't go up for a long time, until 2030 to be exact if you sign up soon. With so many items are increasing in price, like everyday essentials, it's nice to have one thing that you know will remain consistent, especially when it's something most of us can't go without.

Data Centers Prompt US to Boost Power-Usage Forecast by 92%
US data centers are rapidly driving up demand for power, with the official forecast for electricity consumption next year almost doubling in the past month. Total power usage in the US is expected to climb 2.15% in 2026, spurred largely by a 5% spike from commercial users because of the expansion of data centers, according to a US Energy Department report released on Tuesday. That's up sharply from a month ago, when the agency expected commercial demand to rise by 2% and total consumption to gain by 1.12%.

AIM raises $50M to retrofit bulldozers and excavators to operate autonomously

Sign up for our weekly startup newsletter , and check out the GeekWire funding tracker and venture capital directory . (Photo via AIM) AIM Intelligent Machines (AIM), a Seattle-area startup that retrofits heavy earthmoving machinery to operate autonomously, raised $50 million in new funding, the company announced Tuesday. Investors include Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, Human Capital, Ironspring Ventures, Mantis, DCVC, and Elad Gil, among others. AIM's technology platform accommodates heavy equipment such as bulldozers and excavators, regardless of make, model, size or age. The intent is to improve safety and productivity in extreme working conditions, such as mining. Semafor reported that AIM attaches the same sensors that power many self-driving cars to machinery to build a real-time, three-dimensional map of the equipment's surroundings. An edge compute system then takes over the controls to dig, haul, plow, fill, and level the ground without a human in the driver's seat. One person can remotely manage an entire site of working vehicles. The Bellevue, Wash.-based startup, which employs about 40 people, was founded in 2021 and built by engineers with experience at Waymo, SpaceX, Google, Stripe, Tesla and Apple. 'Everything is either mined or grown, and efficient earthmoving is required for both,' CEO Adam Sadilek said in a statement. 'Since the introduction of hydraulic machines like excavators in the 1800s, mining and construction have seen little of the automation that's transformed other industries. These are still among the most dangerous jobs in the world, and outcomes aren't getting better fast enough. AIM is changing that.' Driving by labor shortages and demand for efficiency, the autonomous construction equipment market is expected to grow from $4.43 billion in 2024 to $9.86 billion by 2030. Seattle startup Carbon Robotics recently revealed its latest product, the Carbon AutoTractor, an AI-powered, autonomous platform designed to fit on and control existing equipment for farming.
