between energy and matter, celebrating human
intellect and scientific progress. This momentous
achievement, by challenging classical notions
and inspiring generations of physicists, stands

deepest secrets. So now you know. And now it's

In top news... Gen Z is reviving a boring job
that millennials and baby boomers abandoned,
and it is helping them land six -figure careers
straight out of college. As millions of baby
boomer accountants prepare for retirement, the
industry faces a talent shortage crisis. Gen
Z is realizing this six -figure career opportunity
by assisting individuals with tax filing for
free. In the past five years, approximately 340
,000 accountants have quit, with 75 % expected
to retire soon. Students in volunteer income
tax assistance programs helped low -income Americans
claim nearly $11 million in refunds last year.
With high salaries and high placement rates,
Gen Z may shift views on accounting as a viable
career path. President Donald Trump announced

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Apple's liquid glass is being hailed as
the next decade's user experience, but experts
caution it may leave users behind. This week,
Apple introduced its most significant design
update in years, aiming to redefine its visual
language. However, UX experts describe liquid
glass as anywhere from mildly disappointing to
outright broken. While the design is visually
appealing, it presents higher cognitive loads
and accessibility issues, especially for older
adults. Apple continues to refine liquid glass,
but may need to reconsider its aesthetic -first
approach to enhance usability. The quest for
a more fluid interface continues, But challenges
remain. NBC Universal on Thursday warned customers
that its networks may be dropped from U2 TV if
the two parties cannot reach a new distribution
agreement by September 30. NBC U rarely leverages
consumer campaigns to negotiate pay television
distribution fights. and this escalation highlights
the challenges it faces with U2 TV. Impacted
channels include NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, CNBC,
MSNDC, USA Network, and others. NBC News stated
that Google, with its $3 trillion market cap,
wants to control what we watch. U2 TD claims
NBC use pricing is too high, stating... NBCUniversal
is asking us to pay more than what they charge
consumers for the same content on Peacock. If
content is unavailable for an extended period
of time, YouTube TV will offer subscribers a
$10 credit. Well, alrighty, folks. It's time
for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
comes from the American physicist and Nobel laureate,
Richard Feynman. And he said, The first principle
is that you must not fool yourself and you are
the easiest person to fool. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
videos with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
