Recently [Kerry Wong] had one of his Cyclenbatt LiFePO4 batteries die after only a few dozen cycles, with a normal voltage still present on the terminals. One of the symptoms was that as soon as you try to charge it, the voltage goes up very rapidly to above 14 V due to what appears to be high internal resistance, and vice versa for discharging. In addition, the Bluetooth feature of the BMS appeared to have died as well, making non-invasive diagnostics somewhat tricky.

In a complaint filed at a Nashville federal court in 2023, Universal Music, Sony Music, EMI and others, accused X Corp of ‘breeding’ mass copyright infringement.
The social media company allegedly failed to respond adequately to takedown notices and lacked a proper termination policy.
The National Music Publishers Association (NMPA), for example, claimed it had sent over 300,000 formal infringement notices, many of which didn’t lead to immediate removals.
“Twitter routinely ignores known repeat infringers and known infringements, refusing to take simple steps that are available to Twitter to stop these specific instances of infringement of which it is aware,” the music companies alleged.

On se moque parfois d’Apple qui a pris quelques années pour remplacer le Lightning par l’USB-C dans les iPhone, mais dans les Mac, la société a commencé très tôt, il y a plus de 10 ans. Et l’adaptateur secteur du MacBook de 2015, d’une puissance de 29 W, est un peu particulier. Et il est surtout encore pris en charge en 2026. Posons les bases, rapidement : dans une bonne partie des adaptateurs secteur qui suivent la norme USB-PD (Power Delivery), on a généralement plusieurs tensions différentes, en fonction de ce qu’on doit alimenter. Un smartphpne peut se contenter d’une tension de 5 V, un ordinateur, lui, peut demander 9 V, 15 V, 20 V, etc. Les tensions disponibles dépendent en partie...

Nous apprenons dans Le Figaro qu’Athènes serait « la ville qui monte en Europe », une capitale qui mériterait désormais le détour alors qu’elle n’était auparavant qu’un lieu de passage entre deux resorts balnéaires, une ville de surcroît de plus en plus accueillante pour les riches, avec nouveaux hôtels et restaurants de luxe, sans oublier la « gentrification » de certains quartiers.

Electro-permanent magnets (EPMs) are pretty nifty concepts, and if you aren’t familiar with them, they are permanent magnets with the ability to be electrically switched on or off. Unlike an electromagnet — which maintains a magnetic field only while power is applied — an EPM can remain “on” even when power is removed. Want to see one work? There’s a video embedded below that shows one off, but if you’d like to know how they work, we have you covered.
Inside are two types of magnet, one of which is permanent and the other being a semi-hard magnet paired with an electromagnetic coil. A semi-hard magnet’s flux can be changed by exposing it to a strong enough magnetic field, and that’s the key...

Squeeze “What More Can I Say”
Squeeze’s new record Trixies was written well before the band existed, back when Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook were teenagers in the mid-1970s. The record, a concept album about a nightclub set in the far-off 1980s, was shelved and the band pivoted to the new wave-adjacent sound of their initial run of classic records. I can’t imagine they deliberately planned to keep a stockpile of songs written close to their prime to fully realize very deep into their career, but that’s effectively what they’ve done. The songs on Trixies aren’t quite up to the high standard of Cool for Cats, Argybargy, and East Side Story, but they’re not far off either. As it turns out,...

On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Barbara, a case challenging President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order banning birthright citizenship. Justices seemed skeptical of the administration's argument, but by taking up birthright citizenship at all, they showed how much ground nativists have gained since Trump's first term. The 14th Amendment is quite clear: "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Trump seeks to overturn this and create a new, effectively stateless American underclas …

The slowest part of a Mars mission is often not the driving, it is the waiting. A rover can only do so much when every move must be planned from Earth, then checked, then sent back across a gap that can stretch communication delays to between four and 22 minutes one way. Moreover, limited data transfer and dangerous terrain make a cautious style of exploration necessary. As a result, rovers may cover only a few hundred meters in a day. A new study suggests there is a faster way to work. In tests at the University of Basel’s Marslabor facility, researchers showed that a semi-autonomous four-legged robot could move to several targets in sequence and deploy instruments on its own. Despite this independence, the...

You know what they say — you can’t keep a good website down. OldVersion.com, the repository of outdated software that has been serving up old versions of tools you need for the last twenty-five years, is not going away as we reported last year. Not only is it sticking around, it’s gotten a retro facelift inspired by Windows 3.1 or OS/2. Mostly Windows, given the screensaver, but we’ll let you find that for yourself.
We’re thrilled to see that OldVersion has gotten the support they need to keep going after running into financial troubles. According to founder Alex Levine, some of that support came as a result of the Hackaday article reporting on the then-upcoming closure, so kudos to you guys for...

After delays and technical issues, the first crewed Moon mission in 50 years finally took off from Florida and is now in Earth's orbit.

NASA's Artemis II flight, which is set to take four astronauts toward the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years, successfully launched on Wednesday evening.
The Artemis II mission, part of NASA's Artemis program that's intended to bring humans back onto the Moon as early as 2028, will bring the four astronauts in orbit around the Moon on the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The astronauts, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen, will make the trip aboard the Orion crew capsule, and the full mission is expected to be a 10-day journey. The mission was delayed in February …

NASA is going back to the Moon! We’ll follow the crew of Artemis II every step of the way. Day 1 – Liftoff!
After resolving a last-minute communications issue with the Flight Termination System (FTS), the Artemis II Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 PM EDT.
Main engine cutoff (MECO) for the SLS rocket occurred at 6:43 PM, placing the Orion spacecraft and crew members Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen safely into orbit around the Earth. Just before 7:00 PM, all four solar array “wings” were successfully deployed from the European Service Module. The perigee and apogee raise maneuvers were...

New DNA testing has solved the 51-year-old case of murdered teenager Laura Ann Aime, according to investigators.

Bright background light can do more than clutter a quantum experiment. It can wash out the very features that make quantum systems useful in the first place. That is the problem a team at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, or INRS, set out to tackle. Working with light particles called photons, the researchers built a way to sift out meaningful quantum signals even when those signals are buried under heavy optical noise. Their results, published in Science Advances, point to a simpler and more energy-efficient route for keeping quantum information intact in messy, real-world conditions. The work came from the group of Professor José Azaña, in collaboration with Professor Roberto...

The calls come in steady and they come in wrong. A woman locked out of her own home by a neighbor throwing objects. A resident in mental health crisis transferred off the emergency line and told to wait. A person reporting harassment, routed somewhere, then nowhere. In Los Angeles, the distance between dialing 911 and reaching actual help has become, for a significant share of callers, a journey through a system that was not designed for what they are asking it to do. The city answered just 57.43 percent of 911 calls within 15 seconds in 2024. Officials have cited operator shortages, attrition, and infrastructure that has not kept pace with demand. A recent LAPD report to the City Council made clear that Los...

This is part of our package about Apple's 50th anniversary. Read more here.
The thing about the iPhone is that everyone knew it was going to be a big deal, and then it was an even bigger deal than that. Hell, it's still the biggest thing going.
It's hard to remember, but almost 20 years ago Apple's first iPhone really was that good. The trick that Steve Jobs and Jony Ive kept pulling off in that era was turning the limitations of the available technology into focal points of the products they made. The first iMac was built around a big, heavy CRT display - but Ive made the translucent case wrap around it, transforming the internals into a …

Welcome to the worst day on the internet! As Chaim Gartenberg pointed out years ago, brands and a holiday dedicated to hoaxes are rarely a winning combo. If you’re a company with any kind of social media, internet, or AI chatbot presence in 2026, you really, truly only have four options on April Fools’ Day: Don’t do an April Fools’ joke. Put the time and energy into doing something productive that will materially benefit the world (or, less idealistically, your business) instead. Or just don’t do anything. Abstaining entirely would still be a net positive over the drain of resources and mental energy. Do an April Fools’ “joke,” but actually follow through on your stunt. This is arguably not a...

“There’s no question that finally putting driverless semi trucks into regular interstate runs will be a turning point for the industry. A driver’s salary is 26 percent of the per-mile cost of operating a truck, Truckers Report says, while other studies have found it to be around 40 percent. Going driverless would result in considerable savings for the U.S. freight-truck business, which generates more than $900 billion in annual revenue. An acute driver shortage — frequently mentioned as a motivation for going autonomous — is no longer a major factor in the United States, though some cite a global shortage last year of 3.6 million drivers. ‘Currently there is not a big U.S. shortage,’ said Bob...

Alors que la nouvelle mission lunaire dirigée par la NASA doit décoller dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi, Les Décodeurs font le point sur les vols spatiaux habités depuis les années 1960.

Summary: The perceived “autism epidemic” is largely driven by broadened diagnostic criteria and increased identification of mild, non-impairing cases rather than a true increase in severe autism. Cultural and institutional factors—like overdiagnosis and shifting norms in child psychiatry—play a significant role. Public health efforts are being misdirected by alarmist narratives and should instead focus on genuine health crises and more consistent, clinically meaningful diagnostic standards. For years, public health debate has often fixated on a supposed rise in the prevalence of autism. Various culprits have been named, including the well-investigated but unsubstantiated claim that vaccines cause...

Je vais être honnête : j’ai peut-être trouvé la meilleure façon de faire tourner un site tech en 2026. Et cette méthode révolutionnaire consiste globalement à ne plus faire grand-chose moi-même. C’était évidemment un poisson d’avril, je ne compte pas écrire mon blog avec une IA (ni générer des images moches).
Avant, il fallait tester du matériel, brancher des trucs, vérifier si un adaptateur marchait vraiment, prendre des photos, refaire les photos parce qu’elles étaient ratées, recommencer un test parce qu’un comportement bizarre venait d’un câble défectueux, et ensuite seulement écrire un article. C’était objectivement une perte de temps.
Maintenant, j’ai découvert les...

“Today, nearly all data centers are designed around AC utility power. The electrical path includes multiple conversions before power reaches the compute load. Power typically enters the data center as medium-voltage AC (1 to 35 kilovolts), is stepped down to low-voltage AC (480 or 415 volts) using a transformer, converted to DC inside an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for battery storage, converted back to AC, and converted again to low-voltage DC (typically 54 V DC) at the server, supplying the DC power computing chips actually require… That setup worked well enough for the amounts of power required by traditional data centers. Traditional data center computational racks draw on the order of 10 kW...

For years, planetary scientists have argued that some of the material that built Earth must have drifted in from beyond Jupiter, carrying water and other volatile ingredients with it. Estimates often put that outer Solar System share somewhere between 6 percent and 40 percent. A new analysis led by ETH Zurich researchers Paolo Sossi and Dan Bower takes a very different view. After comparing Earth’s isotopic makeup with that of meteorites, Mars and the asteroid Vesta, they argue that Earth formed almost entirely from material already present in the inner Solar System. That does not mean the question is settled. Sossi himself says the debate over Earth’s building blocks is “far from over.” But the new...

Il y a des projets qui traînent dans un coin de la tête pendant des années. Pour moi, le DVB-H en faisait partie. La télévision numérique terrestre sur mobile, la grande promesse du milieu des années 2000, celle qui devait révolutionner l’usage de la vidéo sur téléphone avant qu’un certain Steve Jobs présente l’iPhone et que tout le monde décide que le streaming via réseau cellulaire était finalement plus pratique. En France, l’aventure a été brève et calamiteuse — quelques années d’expérimentation, un service commercial lancé en 2010, enterré en 2012 — mais j’avais gardé dans un coin de mon labo le matériel pour y rejouer un jour. C’était évidemment un poisson...
