DDR3 seemed plenty fast when it first showed up 19 years ago. Who could say no to 6400 Mb/s transfer speeds? Of course compared to the modern DDR5 that’s glacially slow, but given that RAM is worth its weight in gold these days– with even DDR4 spiking in price– some people, like [Gheeotine], are asking “can you game on DDR3“? The answer is a shocking yes.
[Gheeotine] builds two budget-friendly PCs for this video, using some of the newest DD3-supporting motherboards available. That’s not exactly new: we’re talking 12 to 15 years old, but hey, not old enough to drive. We certainly didn’t expect to hear about an x79 motherboard hosting an Ivy Bridge processor in 2026, but needs must when the devil...

Whether you’re buying your first pair of AirPods or replacing a well-used older pair, it’s easy to understand why so many iPhone owners prefer Apple’s earbuds and headphones over other options. Apple has spent years gradually adding new features that work best — and sometimes only work at all — with the company’s own devices. These convenient tricks include audio sharing, automatic switching between Apple’s various devices, live translation, Apple TV integration, and more. There are currently four AirPods models to choose from, each with its own distinct appeal and upside. You likely already know whether you’re more interested in earbuds or over-ear headphones, so that’s the first divide. In...

Netflix's advertising business more than doubled its advertising revenue to $1.5 billion from 2024 to 2025 - and it's on track to keep growing. "We expect that [advertising] business to roughly double again in '26 to about $3 billion," Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said during an earnings call on Tuesday, hours ahead of its live viewer voting-enabled Star Search event. "We're making good progress, and the opportunity ahead of us is massive."
The jump comes as Netflix's ad-supported streaming subscription continues to grow, with the company's $7.99 per month plan reaching more than 94 million people each month as of May 2025. Netflix aims to la …

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers working at the Social Security Administration (SSA) broke protocols, had more access to sensitive data on Americans than previously disclosed, and were in touch with a political advocacy group hunting for election fraud, the Trump administration admitted in a recent court filing.
Justice Department officials told a federal court in Maryland that the SSA had not fully complied with the court's prior order, and had made statements to the court that it later found out were not entirely true. The admission came in a document, reported earlier by Politico, correcting the record in a case filed …

Netflix is working on a new mobile UI set to roll out later this year that will "better serve the expansion of our business over the decade to come," co-CEO Greg Peters said in an earnings call on Tuesday. The new mobile UI follows last year's big TV revamp that put a new banner front and center on the home screen recommending something to watch.
With the TV revamp, former chief product officer Eunice Kim said it was designed to "give us a more flexible canvas, now and in the future," and Peters says the new mobile UI will similarly serve as a foundation for what's to come. After it rolls out, "it becomes a platform for us to continue to it …

The Federal Trade Commission will appeal its loss in a landmark antitrust case against Meta, the agency announced Tuesday.
US District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled in November that the government failed to prove that Meta had an illegal monopoly over a subset of social networking services meant for connecting with friends and family online. Boasberg wrote that the government had an "uphill battle" in how it defined the market Meta allegedly dominated, a challenge exacerbated by the rise of TikTok and changes in the market over the five years between the FTC filing the case and it going to trial. The FTC is asking the US Court of Appea …

When you’re driving a car with a stickshift, it’s pretty easy to keep track of which gear you’re in. That can be a little bit more difficult on something like a motorcycle with a sequential shifter. [decogabry] built a neat gearshift indicator to solve this issue.
An ESP32 devboard is used as the brain of the build. It’s paired with an ELM327 dongle over Bluetooth, which is able to hook into the bike’s ODB diagnostic port to pick up data like engine RPM, wheel speed, and coolant temperature. The first two factors are combined in order to calculate the current gear, since the ratio between engine RPM and wheel speed is determined directly by the gear selection. The ESP32 then commands a Philips ZM1020...

If you were asked to pick the most annoying of the various Microsoft Windows interfaces that have appeared over the years, there’s a reasonable chance that Windows 8’s Metro start screen and interface design language would make it your choice. In 2012 the software company abandoned their tried-and-tested desktop whose roots extended back to Windows 95 in favor of the colorful blocks it had created for its line of music players and mobile phones.
Consumers weren’t impressed and it was quickly shelved in subsequent versions, but should you wish to revisit Metro you can now get the experience on Linux. [er-bharat] has created Win8DE, a shell for Wayland window managers that brings the Metro interface — or...

Space telescopes are all the rage, and rightfully so. The images they take are spectacular, and they’ve greatly increased what we know about the universe. Surely, any picture taken of, say, the Andromeda galaxy before space telescopes would be little more than a smudge compared to modern photos, right? Maybe not.
One of the most famous pictures of our galactic neighbor was taken in — no kidding — 1888. The astronomer/photographer was Isaac Roberts, a Welsh engineer with a keen interest in astrophotography. Around 1878, he began using a 180 mm refracting telescope for observations, and in 1883, he began taking photographs.
He was so pleased with the results that he ordered a reflecting telescope with a...

Modern cellular networks are built to serve millions upon millions of users, all while maintaining strict encryption across all communications. But earlier cellular networks were by no means so secure, as [Nostalgia for Simplicity] demonstrates in a recent video.
The video begins with an anecdote — our narrator remembers a family member who could listen in on other’s conversations on the analog AMPS phone network. This was easily achieved simply by entering a code that would put an Ericsson handset into a test mode, in which it could be switched to tune in any desired AMPS channel. Since the communications were transmitted in a purely analog manner, with no encryption of any sort, any conversation on such...

“Alphabet-owned Wing is expanding its drone delivery service to an additional 150 Walmart stores across the U.S., stretching from Los Angeles to Miami. Why it matters: Last-minute drone delivery of a carton of eggs or baby wipes might seem fanciful to most people. But the future is already here if you live in Dallas — where some Walmart customers order delivery by Wing three times a week. By the end of 2026, some 40 million Americans, or about 12 percent of the U.S. population, will be able to take advantage of the convenience, the companies claim.” From Axios.

“The world economy is projected to grow faster this year than previously expected, the International Monetary Fund said on Monday, as surging investment in artificial intelligence and other technology is poised to offset the headwinds of rising protectionism. In its latest World Economic Outlook, the I.M.F. forecast that global output will hold at 3.3 percent for a third consecutive year. The estimate is 0.2 percentage points higher than the fund’s prediction in October, but growth is expected to slow to 3.2 percent in 2027. Global inflation is expected to ease this year to 3.8 percent, from 4.1 percent in 2025.” From New York Times.
