MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — A plan to replace a part of the roof at Government Plaza is set to go before the Mobile County Commission on Monday.

The changes would affect flat roofs over the North and South Towers.

Alabama has bought the Foley Beach Express Bridge — here’s what that means for drivers

The project would replace the roofs’ membranes, which have remained unchanged since the plaza was built in 1994.

The project is expected to cost $7.2 million.

The atrium’s roof will not be affected by the replacements. It was replaced in 2015 for a total of $3.4 million.

Three things we learned about Apple's AI plans from its earnings
Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't give much away about the company's AI plans on Thursday's Q2 earnings call with investors, but he did confirm a few tidbits about how the tech giant plans to move forward with artificial intelligence. Notably, his comments suggested that despite spending more than $100 billion on R&D over the last five years, Apple isn't planning to spin up too many new data centers to run or train AI models. While we've known this for some time — after all, Apple has been calling its M3 MacBook Airs the "best consumer laptop for AI" — the company shouted out how AI is being used across its products on its earnings call.

How to play Pokémon and other Game Boy games on your iPhone
Apple finally updated its App Store guidelines to allow global developers to host retro game emulators on iOS. Now, you don't need to jailbreak your iPhone or download any sketchy software -- you can get a sophisticated emulator right in the palm of your hand for free on the App Store. No one is more vindicated by this shift in Apple's policy than Riley Testut, the developer who made GBA4iOS about a decade ago when he was in high school (when he released GBA4iOS, I showed half of my AP Statistics class how to play Pokémon on their phones during class -- sorry, Mr. Cinelli).
