PVT modules make double use of roof space: they generate electricity while collecting heat for a heat pump. This can be particularly useful where a conventional outdoor heat-pump unit is difficult to install.
A PVT (photovoltaic-thermal) module combines two functions:
Because ambient air is the main heat source, thermal energy can also be collected at night and during winter.
Unlike a typical air-source heat pump, the roof-based collector operates without a fan. Natural airflow provides heat exchange, allowing silent operation without mechanically moving parts on the roof.
PVT can therefore be particularly attractive for terraced houses, densely built areas, or properties with limited space for an outdoor unit.
The required number of modules depends primarily on the building's heating load and system design.
Inflation is falling – yet at the supermarket, in restaurants, or when paying for everyday services, things may not seem much cheaper. How can both be true? The answer lies in what inflation actually measures.
The inflation rate measures how quickly prices are rising on average. If inflation falls from 5% to 2%, goods and services do not automatically become cheaper. They are simply getting more expensive at a slower pace.
A simple example:
Inflation has dropped considerably, but the price is still rising.
For the overall price level to decline, inflation would need to become negative. This is called deflation.
In simple terms:
Individual products can still become cheaper while overall inflation remains positive. Competition, lower production costs, cheaper raw materials, or technological improvements can all push particular prices down.
For households, inflation is only part of the picture. Income growth also matters. If wages rise faster than living costs, purchasing power improves. If they lag behind, everyday life can continue to feel expensive even when inflation has fallen.
In short: As long as inflation remains positive, the overall price level continues to rise. For prices overall to fall, inflation would have to turn negative.
Building more capable AI is increasingly about more than better algorithms. It also requires enormous amounts of computing power — and Anthropic has reportedly secured another major supply.
Anthropic has signed a $35 billion cloud computing deal with AI infrastructure provider Lambda, according to reports published September 1. The agreement involves large-scale computing infrastructure using Nvidia chips.
The deal adds to Anthropic’s already extensive infrastructure commitments. The company has previously announced major capacity agreements involving Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Nvidia as demand for its Claude AI models grows.
Modern AI models require huge clusters of specialized processors both for training and for answering users’ requests. Securing enough chips, electricity and data-center capacity has therefore become a strategic priority for leading AI companies.
For everyday users, these investments may eventually translate into greater AI capacity, faster services and support for increasingly demanding applications. At the same time, the scale of the spending shows how infrastructure-intensive the global AI race has become.
Learning data science becomes much easier when you know where to find good datasets, clear explanations, and real-world examples. These resources cover different stages of that journey.
A good learning strategy is to combine them: learn a concept visually, find a suitable dataset, then build a small project around it. This turns abstract theory into practical experience.
Sometimes the same table or part of a table is needed in multiple places within a Word document. Simply copying and pasting it creates an independent copy: if the original table changes, the copied version remains unchanged. A better approach is to maintain the content once and reference it wherever it is needed.
Within the same Word document, Bookmarks and REF fields provide a practical solution:
TableClasses, and click Add.Ref, then choose the previously created bookmark.Word inserts a reference to the bookmarked content. Changes should be made to the original table. To refresh the references throughout the document, press Ctrl+A → F9.
Important: This works best for a complete table or a continuous range of cells. If you want to display only non-adjacent columns, such as columns 1 and 3 while excluding column 2, a single bookmark is not sufficient. Separate bookmarks or a different table structure may be required.
The Paste Link option is not available for every type of content copied within the same Word document and may therefore appear disabled.
AI-generated images and videos are becoming convincing enough to blur the line between real events and synthetic content — and today’s news provides a striking example.
U.S. President Donald Trump shared a video appearing to show explosions on Iran’s Kharg Island, an important oil-export hub. However, no independent evidence confirmed an attack on the island at the time of reporting. Analysis using AI-detection software indicated that the footage was probably synthetically generated.
The incident highlights a growing challenge: realistic AI content can spread during fast-moving events before its authenticity is established. When shared by influential accounts, such material can reach large audiences almost instantly and potentially affect public perception.
Before sharing dramatic footage:
Fresh speculation is once again raising questions about whether Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive on time. For now, however, the official release date has not changed.
New reports on August 29 point to online rumors suggesting that development may be less advanced than expected. These claims are linked to reportedly leaked material and have renewed fears of another delay. Importantly, they remain unverified and should not be treated as confirmation of a schedule change.
Rockstar Games continues to list November 19, 2026 as the launch date for GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Publisher Take-Two also reiterated the November date in its latest financial results earlier this month.
Despite today’s renewed speculation, there is currently no official announcement of another GTA 6 delay. Until Rockstar or Take-Two says otherwise, November 19 remains the date to watch.
One of the most popular ways to use AI for programming is facing a significant change. OpenAI plans to end its agreement with Cursor, the AI coding platform now owned by SpaceX, highlighting how quickly alliances can shift in the competitive AI industry.
Following SpaceX’s acquisition of Cursor developer Anysphere, OpenAI has decided to terminate Cursor’s access under their existing agreement. The service is expected to be fully discontinued on November 12, 2026.
Cursor is not dependent on a single AI provider. Its platform can offer models from several companies, including Anthropic and Google, alongside models associated with its new owner.
The dispute illustrates a broader trend: AI applications increasingly depend on models controlled by competing technology companies.
For users and businesses, this means an AI tool’s capabilities can change when partnerships, ownership or commercial agreements change. Supporting multiple AI models may therefore become increasingly important for services that want to avoid dependence on a single provider.
A theory or learning document can quickly become difficult to scan: technical terms, explanations, examples, additional information, and important rules all look similar. A simple and consistent color system makes these different types of information easier to recognize. The challenge is choosing colors that work both on screen and when printed.
| Content | Formatting | Color | HEX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical terms | Bold + color | Dark blue | #1F4E79 |
| Examples | Color | Dark green | #007A3D |
| Rules / key points | Bold, optionally a subtle box | Dark red accent | #9C0006 |
| Additional information / translations | Italic + color | Medium gray | #7F7F7F |
| Body text | Regular | Black | #000000 |
Blue for technical terms and green for examples are not universal standards. What matters most is using each color consistently for the same purpose throughout the document.
Our solar system consists of the Sun, eight planets, and numerous smaller celestial bodies. The planets travel around the Sun in an orbit, while gravity keeps them on their paths.
Example: Earth takes approximately 365 days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
Additional information: Besides the eight planets, the solar system includes dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Remember: A planet does not produce its own visible light; it reflects light from a star.
For individual highlights, Character Styles are particularly useful. Choose Default Paragraph Font as the base and define only the properties that should change, such as the font color. Existing formatting such as bold or italic will then remain intact.
Since colors may disappear when printing in grayscale, important distinctions should also use bold, italic, indentation, or boxes rather than relying on color alone.
The AI boom isn’t happening only online. Artificial intelligence companies are increasingly establishing offices, research centers and other operations across Europe as competition for talent and customers intensifies.
New investment data shows that AI-related foreign direct investment announcements in the EU and UK reached a record 107 projects in the second quarter of 2026. That compares with 82 in the previous quarter and 63 during the same period in 2025.
The expansion illustrates how AI is becoming an important part of the wider economy. Building AI businesses requires more than computing infrastructure—it also requires researchers, engineers, sales teams and specialized services.
For European cities, this could mean new jobs, investment and growing technology ecosystems. At the same time, cities will increasingly compete to attract highly skilled workers and AI companies.
The trend is another sign that the global AI race is moving beyond developing better models. Where AI companies build their teams and operations is becoming important too.
