Scalia had expressed opposition to the federal government's practice of protecting distinct populations of endangered animals, rather than entire species. The proposed changes could narrow the scope of which animals qualify for protection under the landmark conservation law.

Opinion: Apple Should Build a Budget Mac Mini Using iPhone Chips

The Mac Mini's latest M6 model starts at $899, which some argue is too expensive for casual users who mainly browse the web. The new MacBook Air Neo has demonstrated that Apple can deliver solid performance using smartphone-grade chips at a $699 price point. Commentators suggest Apple could apply the same approach to a desktop form factor, producing a stripped-down, affordable Mac Mini alternative. Such a device would target users who want macOS without paying for high-end specs they may never use. No such product has been announced by Apple, but the idea is gaining traction among tech observers.
