Researchers discover mind-blowing method to give old smartphones new life: 'A new way of thinking about the old'
In a time when the average smartphone is replaced every two to three years, researchers in Estonia have found an innovative way to give old devices a meaningful second life — by turning them into tiny data centers. This new approach could reshape the way we think about electronics, pollution, and the digital systems that power our lives. It's a sustainable tech breakthrough that offers more than just a clever reuse — it has the potential to reduce electronic waste, save money, and unlock new possibilities for greener data processing. Every year, the world produces over 1.2 billion smartphones. Manufacturing them uses up energy and precious raw materials and contributes heavily to pollution. And while some of these phones are recycled, many end up in landfills — sometimes with their batteries still inside, leaking toxic chemicals into the environment. But the problem doesn't stop with waste. There's also growing demand for data centers — the massive facilities that store and process information for everything from email to AI. These centers are energy-intensive and expensive to build. At the University of Tartu's Institute of Computer Science, researchers have created a working prototype that turns old smartphones into mini data centers. The devices are deconstructed — their batteries removed and replaced with safer, external power sources — then mounted into 3D-printed holders and linked together. The whole setup costs just around €8 per phone, or about $9. Once connected, these upcycled phones can collect, store, and analyze data. One early test involved marine life monitoring. Instead of relying on a diver to manually capture footage, the underwater phone-powered center automatically identified and recorded sea creatures — all in real time. Another potential application? Urban environments. These smartphone clusters could be installed at bus stops to count passengers and help improve public transportation schedules. The research, published in IEEE Pervasive Computing, shows that with just a small investment, smartphones once considered "e-waste" can take on important new jobs — no cutting-edge chips or big budgets needed. And while consumer behavior shifts — like holding onto your phone longer — remain the most sustainable solution, innovations like this provide a smart, realistic way to reduce pollution and extend the usefulness of our devices. As Associate Professor of Pervasive Computing Huber Flores put it: "Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old, re-imagining its role in shaping the future." Which of these factors would most effectively motivate you to recycle old clothes and electronics? Giving me money back Letting me trade for new stuff Making it as easy as possible Keeping my stuff out of landfills Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Right now, the data center prototype is still in its early stages. But researchers say future versions could be easier to assemble and adapt to more types of hardware. With further development, we could see these tiny data centers powering smart cities, community centers, and conservation projects — all using tech we already have. It's a small idea with big potential — and a reminder that sometimes, the smartest solution starts with what's already in our hands.

French President Macron announces 'historic' Airbus/Malaysia Airlines deal
PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday there had been an historic deal between Airbus and Malaysia, as Macron hosted Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in Paris. Macron said such deals highlighted the importance of trade between France and Asia, as Europe faces up to likely tariffs from U.S President Donald Trump. "I am thinking of the projects signed in the key minerals sector, in the rare earths sector with the company Carester which has just opened up a factory in the region of Lacq, the transport sector with this historic co-operation between Malaysia Airlines and Airbus, and in the energy transition sector," said Macron. Industry sources told Reuters this week that Airbus was close to winning an order from Malaysia Aviation Group for more A330neo long-haul jets. "Airbus has been our focus. Malaysian Airlines 20, and AirAsia another 50," added Ibrahim. Sign in to access your portfolio

Little-known cryptocurrency detail that could impact millions: 'Lost forever'
Welcome to legal column, where lawyers Alison and Jillian Barrett from Maurice Blackburn tackle problems everyday Aussies face — whether it be consumer, property, or money matters impacting relationships or work. This week, a cryptocurrency investor has asked whether it's possible for family or friends to access their money if they die. Question I've been quietly investing in crypto over the last year and have made a decent $100,000 profit. I recently heard of a scenario where a family was locked out of their child's accounts after he died suddenly, as they didn't have access to his phone passcode. In the case of my death, I would want my partner to be able to access my crypto accounts, which I run off my phone. But I am apprehensive as I don't really want her to get access to all my photos and messages. How can I best go about getting her access to some things on my devices and not others. Or is that not possible? And what if she pushes to get it all — is there a way to make sure that won't happen? Centrelink act costing 'hardworking' taxpayers Superannuation 'red alert' for millions as $1 billion in retirement savings feared lost Woolworths payment change hits dozens of supermarkets Answer Cryptocurrency is property, so it can be passed to your family through your will, just like a home, car or bank account. However, unlike those traditional assets, crypto is often locked behind private keys and passwords. If no one knows how to access them, they are effectively lost forever. It is an increasingly common concern, and we've all heard or read about the horror stories of people losing their passwords or hard drives and effectively losing hundreds of millions of should include a list of your crypto holdings, wallet types, and where they're stored. To ensure this list can be included in your will, it should not include any passwords, as a will becomes a public document during probate. The asset inventory should include the specifics of the crypto you hold, for example 0.15 Bitcoin or 1.5 Ethereum rather than their current dollar value as that will change. This person will be responsible for handling your digital assets if you die, and transferring their ownership to whoever you stipulate in your will. This can be stored securely with your will and can contain the passwords for your digital assets. This document isn't made public during probate. These tools allow you to create a vault specifically for crypto-related logins, which can be shared with your partner or executor without exposing your entire digital life. These provide a further layer of security to access funds so no single person can act unilaterally. This will prevent your partner from 'getting it all' which you're concerned about. If you do not prepare a will, or other instructions on how to deal with your cryptocurrency in the event of you dying, this will create a significant roadblock in accessing and distributing your assets. The administrators of your estate may not know of its existence and/or know how to access it, so your crypto could be lost forever. We recommend that you take these steps as soon as possible for peace of mind. This legal information is general in nature and should not be regarded as specific legal advice.
