Raw Sewage Floods Chinhoyi River
Chinhoyi people want the town leaders to fix sewage leaks flowing into their main river. They worry the waste creates serious health dangers for residents and harms the environment. Raw sewage carries harmful germs that cause diseases like cholera and hepatitis A, according to Clever Mandebvu from the Brundish area. He points out that children, older adults, and people with weak immune systems face the highest risk when they touch contaminated water.

She believes proper sewage treatment must happen to protect public...

Wall Street Drops Bomb on SMCI Stock
Super Micro Computer has caught many eyes as it sells GPU services and water-cooled AI racks during the growing interest in artificial intelligence.

Apple Skips 12GB RAM on Base iPhone 17
Apple plans to add 12GB of RAM to some iPhone 17 models later this year, helping with multitasking, gaming, and AI features. Supply problems might stop Apple from giving all models this memory boost. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks only the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max will have 12GB RAM, with the basic model keeping 8GB RAM because of these shortages. He believes all iPhone 18 models will have 12GB of RAM next year when supply issues ease. Money matters play a role in this decision. The cost jumps about 50 percent when switching from 8GB to 12GB RAM chips. This raises expenses for Apple even though suppliers like Micron and SK hynix earn more. Limiting which models get extra RAM helps Apple control costs. The company picked the basic...
Apple Might Make All Your US iPhones in India
According to a Financial Times report, Apple might make all US-bound iPhones in India instead of China by late 2026. The tech giant is facing pressure as its shares took hits from investor concerns about higher product costs due to China tariffs.

The company briefly lost its position as the world's most valuable firm when tariff talks heated up. Apple stock has climbed nearly 21%...
