On Aug. 14, 2003, a tree branch struck a power line in northern Ohio. within minutes, 21 power plants shut down due to a series of errors. Fifty million people from Ohio and across the northeastern United States and Canada were affected. Around 100 people edited.

Some areas regained power within a few hours, while others waited days. In New York City, people fled subways in droves, walking across bridges to get home. Others waited hours in lines to buy batteries and other supplies. It was one of the largest blackouts in US history and cost the US $4 billion to $10 billion. It began to shed light on how broken the existing system is and how much change is needed.

“I think it’s amazing that the system’s not worse than it is,” says Johanna Mathieu, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Michigan. “Most people don’t appreciate how hard it is to keep the lights on.” Supply and demand must always be balanced, but increasing strain on the grid is creating new challenges.

Blackouts are becoming more common, as the grid struggles to adjust to the shift to electric vehicles and the increase in the frequency and severity of storms amid climate change. Errors that result in debilitating outages, like the 2003 blackout, exacerbate growing energy demands.

To counteract these pressures, a new generation of academics concerned about grid

Episode 8 of House of the Dragon provided a mix of gruesome and touching moments, from an unexpected death to a moving appeal from King Viserys to his wife and firstborn daughter to cut the drama. With all of the politics, murder and family bonding, you may have missed the 30 seconds or so Mysaria returned to the screen.

Mysaria — a character seen in earlier season episodes as Daemon’s lover (and almost-wife?) — was last seen in episode 4, when Milly Alcock and Emily Carey still starred in the show as Rhaenyra and Alicent. Here’s a guide to who she is, the significant scenes she’s been in and what she may have been up to in episode 8.

Who is Mysaria?

Mysaria is a pleasure house worker, but that’s hardly all there is to her. In episode 2, Daemon causes a stir when he steals a dragon’s egg and announces in a letter that he’s marrying Mysaria. He also says she’s “with child” (she isn’t) and that he intends to place the egg in the cradle of the baby. Young Rhaenyra confronts him at Dragonstone to get it back. In that episode, Mysaria becomes frustrated with Daemon. His announcement put her at risk, when he had promised to keep her safe.

HBO describes Mysaria as “strong-willed and cunning.” The character has an interesting accent. She’s portrayed by Sonoya Mizuno.

Mysaria’s cryptic comment

A turning point for her character seems to come in episode 4. Mysaria wakes Daemon

Sony is launching its new DualSense Edge Wireless Controller in January priced at $199.99. The “high performance” controller is fully customizable, much like Microsoft’s Xbox Elite controllers, and includes removable analog thumbsticks, rear buttons, changeable stick caps, and multiple control profiles.

The DualSense Edge allows owners to change out stick caps for three types: standard, high dome, and low dome. There are also two swappable back buttons (half-dome or lever) that can be mapped to any other buttons, much like paddles found on other controllers. You can even replace the stick modules, which will be sold separately.

Sony says the DualSense Edge will launch on January 26th, priced at $199.99 in the US, ¥29,980 in Japan, €239.99 in Europe, and £209.99 in the UK. The replaceable stick modules will also be available on January 26th, priced at $19.99, 2,680 in Japan, €24.99 in Europe, and £19.99 in the UK. Preorders will be on Tuesday, October 25th, at select retailers and Sony’s own direct website. Sony does note that other retailers won’t be shipping these controllers until February 23rd, though.

The DualSense Edge also includes adjustable trigger hair locks at the rear. These are ideal for players who want to physically lock their triggers to half-pull and adjust the travel distance in shooters. You can also remap or deactivate button inputs and tweak stick sensitivity and dead zones.

The carrying case will include the following:

Asus’ first foray into the world of folding-screen laptops, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED, is now on sale for $3,499.99, the company has announced. Asus says the laptop is being sold in the US and Newegg though as of this writing only Newegg seems to have the laptop available for immediate shipping, with B&H listing it as “coming soon.” That aligns with the Q4 target date given to us when we reviewed the laptop in August.

At $3,499.99, the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is eye-wateringly expensive, but my colleague Monica Chin points out that it’s the first such device that starts to deliver on the promise of this new form factor. You can either use the laptop with its 17.3-inch 2560 x 1920 screen fully unfolded and paired with a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Or you can bend the screen to get two 12.5-inch 1920 x 1280 displays. The lower display can either be used as a touchscreen keyboard, or covered with the magnetically attaching keyboard for a more traditional laptop-style experience.

That’s not to say the laptop is perfect. Monica encountered a fair few hardware and software bugs in her time with the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED, which aren’t acceptable on a laptop at this price. And while it’s decently specced, with an Intel i7-1250U processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and a 75Wh battery, it still
