A police report was also filed and the alleged embezzlement was reported to all required regulatory bodies, she added.</p><p>The public disclosure of the alleged financial misdeeds, about eight months after they were reportedly discovered, allowed the organization time to “take appropriate action before making this information widely available,” Robinson said.</p><p>“As the new Executive Director, I believe it is essential to acknowledge this matter and reaffirm our commitment to integrity, accountability, and long-term sustainability of our organization,” Robinson said in a statement. “While this has been a difficult chapter for Richmond LAND, my focus remains on ensuring accountability, learning from past challenges, and strengthening our organizational foundation.”</p><p>Since taking her role, Robinson said the organization has welcomed a new team of employees “dedicated to analyzing and improving our internal systems,” and implemented a new comprehensive financial policy with safeguards and processes in place to prevent similar financial misconduct from reoccurring.</p><p>Joseph did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p> <p> </p><p>He has been linked to other Richmond-based community groups.

Analysts had forecast 237,000 new applications.</p><p>Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of U.S. layoffs and have mostly bounced around a historically healthy range between 200,000 and 250,000 since COVID-19 throttled the economy five years ago, wiping out millions of jobs.</p><p>In reporting their latest earnings, many companies have either lowered their sales and profit expectations for 2025 or not issued guidance at all, often citing President Donald Trump’s dizzying rollout of tariff announcements.</p><p>Though Trump has paused or dialed down many of his tariff threats, concerns remain that a tariff-induced global economic slowdown could upend what’s been a robust U.S. labor market.</p><p>In early May, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark lending rate at 4.3% for the third straight meeting after cutting it three times at the end of last year.</p><p>Fed chair Jerome Powell said the potential for both higher unemployment and inflation are elevated, an unusual combination that complicates the central bank’s dual mandate of controlling prices and keeping unemployment low.

It is the home office for about 7,000 of PG&E’s 26,000 workers, the utility estimated in 2023.</p><p>The transaction completes an intricate set of Bay Area real estate deals that PG&E hopes will help it pass along savings from a more efficient operation to its customers through their monthly electric and gas bills.</p><p>PG&E has also sold its former headquarters complex in San Francisco for $800 million as part of a relocation of the company’s head offices to downtown Oakland.</p><p>The utility company estimated that it would be able to save $400 million through a more efficient operation in a single office tower and that it would pass the savings along to customers over a five-year period.</p><p>The company anticipated that the cost savings would help moderate the rise in monthly bills for ratepayers.</p><p>In 2020, PG&E said it had struck a deal to lease the 300 Lakeside office tower from TMG Partners. That rental agreement also provided PG&E with an option to buy the tower from TMG, a purchase that has now occurred.</p> <p> </p><p>“Our Oakland headquarters is a critical hub for our operational and innovation progress,” PG&E CEO Patricia Poppe stated in a web post in 2023.</p><p>PG&E began moving workers into the 300 Lakeside office tower in 2022.</p><p>The move from San Francisco and the consolidation of other East Bay offices into Oakland represent a 50% reduction in PG&E’s major Bay Area office space since 2020, the company stated previously.</p><p>“We love being a part of the community in Oakland and look forward to our future in this vibrant city,” Poppe previously stated.</p> <p>Originally Published: <time>June 5, 2025 at 7:30 AM PDT</time></p> PG&E crafts nearly billion-dollar deal to buy Oakland HQ, nearby site	查看 2351	硅谷新闻网	2025-06-05 12:15:41 2025-06-06 08:08:09	word
3169093	无图 <p>Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, and millions of users are still running that version. Some will be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but many won’t, because Windows 11 requires hardware that many Windows 10 machines lack. That means a lot of PC users may find themselves in the market for a new computer between now and October.</p><p>And there’s another reason to consider upgrading: many new PCs now include a Neural Processing Unit (NPU)—a special chip designed to optimize tasks powered by artificial intelligence (AI).</p><p>For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been using HP’s new OmniBook Ultra Flip 14-inch 2-in-1 laptop, marketed as a “Next Gen AI PC.” The review unit HP sent me came with 2 terabytes of SSD storage and 32 gigabytes of RAM—more than most people need. As configured, this version costs around $1,800, but you can get a model with 512 GB storage, a slightly slower processor, and 16 GB of RAM for about $1,100, which is plenty for most users.</p><p>The laptop has an impressive 14-inch OLED touch screen, which looks great indoors and is readable even in bright sunlight. The version I have also flips all the way back. At a tad under 3 pounds, it’s on the lighter side as laptops go. I don’t use the flip feature often, but it can come in handy when watching videos or if you want to use it like a tablet. It can also be used with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse and be folded so that it functions as a great secondary display. Although I mostly use the touch pad to control the PC, the touch screen can come in handy at times. It also comes with an optional pen that you can use to write or draw directly on the screen, which is very useful for graphic artists.</p><p>Keyboard, responsiveness and battery life</p><p>As a writer, my favorite feature is the keyboard, with slightly oversized keys and larger-than-usual characters, which make it easier and more comfortable to type. It’s a noticeable upgrade from many laptop keyboards, and because you’re stuck with whatever keyboard your laptop comes with, this is a welcome improvement.</p><p>The laptop is very responsive, loading apps almost as quickly as you can click. Although internet performance is mostly a function of the speed of your network, a faster PC can more quickly update your browser, which can make a difference. It’s not a big deal, but I like it when I don’t have to wait even a second or two to load an app or switch between tasks. It’s not so much the amount of time but the risk of losing my train of thought as I wait for a program or website to load.</p><p>The Omnibook is rated for “up to 12 hours and 30 minutes” of continuous use on battery only, according to HP and “up to 20 hours and 30 minutes of local video playback. Battery estimates, like miles per gallon or EV range, will always be different in the real world, but, so far, I’ve been able to get through a day’s worth of use without having to plug it in.</p> <p> </p><p>AI processor and software</p><p>Like an increasing number of PCs, this machine is marketed as an AI computer. And although it does have a neuro processing unit (NPU) optimized for AI applications along with some software that uses that NPU and AI to improve performance, the NPU and the other AI features are not necessary to run ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity or any of the other excellent web-based AI services. You can run them on any internet connected device.</p><p>The HP does come with its own HP AI Companion app, which at first seems similar to the many AI web apps that run on any device, but it has one very promising feature that takes advantage of the NPU. You can create your own document libraries by importing PDFs, Word files and other docs that you can then query using the AI Companion. There are several use cases, including being able to better understand or find things from your own PC and enhanced privacy by not having to upload all these files to the cloud. I’m using it to create a library from the thousands of articles I’ve written over the years and am excited about the ability to query my own content. Companies could use this and similar tools to create their own internal AI data sets for employee access.</p><p>The AI OmniBook also comes with Poly Camera Pro that uses AI and the NPU to enhance photos and videos, including live Zoom calls. There are also some video editing and creation tools that use AI and the NPU to create and process video.</p><p>Ready for the future</p><p>We’re still in the early days of PC-based AI processing, and only a limited number of applications currently take full advantage of the NPU and other AI features built into these new machines. But that’s typical with emerging technologies. Think back to the early Apple II. On its own, it wasn’t especially useful until developers created breakthrough programs such as VisiCalc, which transformed it into a must-have productivity tool for its time. The same could happen with AI PCs as the software ecosystem catches up.</p><p>I don’t know if or when having an NPU will become essential. But if you’re shopping for a new Windows PC, it makes sense to consider one that includes it, just to “future-proof” your investment (quotes because the future is always uncertain).</p><p>For now, just about any modern PC or Mac will handle today’s tasks with ease. But if you’re curious about what’s coming next, an AI PC could be your window into the future—especially as software begins to catch up with the powerful new hardware.</p>Related Articles Tesla stock plunges as Musk’s feud with Trump over GOP tax bill spooks investors How to watch Apple’s WWDC keynote address Nvidia eyes expansion of headquarters office hub in Santa Clara Meta’s push into defense tech reflects cultural shift, CTO says Alphabet CEO expects to keep hiring engineers as AI advances <p>Larry Magid is a tech journalist and internet safety activist.
