What responsibility do you have to speak up about bad things happening in the world? Does that responsibility change when speaking up might affect your business? What about if you're a sports creator, or the moderator of a deeply NSFW subreddit? What about if you're just a little ol' phone website? Ultimately, everyone has to make those decisions for themselves. But decisions have consequences.

A roaming creative couple blended the language of their animation studio, an iconic chair, and the colors of southern Spain for their part time residence and rental.Dorien Smeets and Jeroen Aendekerk have lived a nomad’s life. The couple spent six years traveling across Europe in their ’90s school bus conversion, even growing their animation business, Studio Fluxi, from its cabin. But even though they’d adapted to life on wheels, in 2023, the couple decided to return to Belgium, where they are both from, wanting a home to come back to after stints out on the road; it wasn’t time to give up completely on the nomadic lifestyle. Dorien Smeets and Jeroen Aendekerk spent $247,000 designing and building a...

Trump attempts a federal takeover of L.A. wildfire recovery, U.S. homebuyers are getting especially cold feet, and more.Architects associated with the Catholic University are leading a plan to demolish a huge cluster of neglected brutalist federal buildings in Washington, D.C., like the Forrestal Building, and replace them with a new neoclassical-style neighborhood of housing, parks, and grand buildings that would extend the National Mall. Here’s what’s being proposed for "Fedlandia," the new vision for Washington’s downtown.

You’ll still need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to buy the wireless N64 controller. | Image: Nintendo The Analogue 3D finally launched late last year with four controller ports on the front supporting the N64's original wired gamepads. If you wanted to go wireless, your best option was the 8BitDo 64 which offered a similar button and joystick layout as the N64's original controllers, but with a modernized design. For a more authentic but conveniently wireless N64 experience, Analogue has released an update for the 3D today that adds support for Nintendo's modernized N64 controller.

Or you can get a Happy Hacking Keyboard or a Realforce for south of $300, also without having to build it yourself, with genuine Topre switches, Bluetooth if you want it, and decent - but not great - remapping capability. Or, for about $250, a set of keycaps, and a couple of hours of assembly, you can design a Bauer Lite in any of a zillion color combinations and use DynaCap parts to turn …

So, you’re thinking of buying a smart ring. Well, some good news. Picking the best of the lot is incredibly easy right now. The “bad” news is that, as far as trustworthiness and reliability, your choices are somewhat limited, as this is still a niche and emerging gadget category. Smart rings are in the middle of a resurgence. That means a lot of experimental ideas and newcomer tech brands you’ve probably never heard of. Enough competitors have cropped up that I spent the better part of last summer rocking six rings like a high-tech mafia don. While these aren’t necessarily bad products (some are pretty good), many aren’t as polished as what you’d see in more mature categories like smartwatches,...

[Androxilogin] had a problem. An Xbox 360 Slim had shown up in the post, but failed to give much more than a beep when turned on. Disassembly revealed some missing components, but replacing them failed to breathe life into the beleaguered console. Deeper repair was needed, and that would require a special adapter which [Androxilogin] was able to whip up from scratch.
When it comes to the Corona models of the Xbox 360, it’s often necessary to use something called a “post-fix adapter” to do certain diagnostic and repair tasks. These adapters consist of a bracket which wraps around the CPU, and probes the solder ball for the POST_OUT signal which is otherwise difficult to access on the motherboard itself....

Summary: There have recently been widespread claims that Dickens’s working poor were better off than modern minimum-wage workers. Such comparisons rely on misleading inflation math and selective reading. The severe material deprivation of Victorian life—crowded housing, scarce possessions, and basic sanitation problems—dwarfs today’s standards. Modern Americans, even at the lower end of the income scale, enjoy far greater material comfort than the Cratchits ever did. Christmas is often a time for nostalgia. We look back on our own childhood holidays. Songs and traditions from the past dominate the culture. Nostalgia is not without its purposes. But it can also be misleading. Take those who view the...

These days, the conversation around climate change so often focuses on matters of soaring temperatures and extreme weather events. While they no longer dominate the discourse, rising sea levels will nonetheless still be a major issue to face as global average temperatures continue to rise.
This poses unique challenges in coastal areas. Municipalities must figure out how to defend their shorelines, or decide which areas they’re willing to lose. The City of Palo Alto is facing just this challenge, and is building a natural kind of seawall to keep the rising tides at bay. Seawalls That Breathe
The traditional way to fight back against the sea is with seawalls. These typically consist of steep slopes constructed...

The Raspberry Pi has been a revolutionary computer in the maker space, providing a full Linux environment, GUI, and tons of GPIO and other interfacing protocols at a considerably low price. This wasn’t its original intended goal, though. Back in the early 2010s it was supposed to be an educational tool for students first, not necessarily a go-to for every electronics project imaginable. As such there are a few issues with the platform when being used this way, and [Vin] addresses his problems with its power management in his latest project.
[Vin]’s main issue is that, unlike a microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a deep sleep function. That means that even when the operating system is shut down...

Comment traduire murdered by ICE, qui figure sur ces affiches placardées à Minneapolis ?« Assassinés par ICE » ? Juridiquement, en France, un assassinat suppose la préméditation ; un meurtre, tuer délibérément un être humain, mais sans la circonstance aggravante de la préméditation. Le premier est passible de la perpétuité, le second de trente ans de réclusion. Comme il n’y a pas (ou plus) de verbe correspondant à meurtre, meurtrir s’étant adouci, alors qu’auparavant il signifiait tuer, on rendra par assassinés. Exécutés sommairement serait juste, aussi. A noter que dire et écrire que Renee Good et Alex Pretti ont été tués par ICE, c’est une façon d’atténuer la...
