We’ve seen our fair share of audiophile tomfoolery here at Hackaday, and we’ve even poked fun at a few of them over the years. Perhaps one of the most outrageously over the top that we’ve so far seen comes from [Pierogi Engineering] who, we’ll grant you not in a spirit of audiophile expectation, has made a set of speaker interconnects using liquid mercury.
In terms of construction they’re transparent tubes filled with mercury and capped off with 4 mm plugs as you might expect. We hear them compared with copper cables and from where we’re sitting we can’t tell any difference, but as we’ve said in the past, the only metrics that matter in this field come from an audio analyzer.
But that’s not...

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...

2027 EV3 | Image: Kia At the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, Kia announced that its compact electric SUV, the EV3, will be available in the US "in late 2026." The EV3 has been available overseas since 2024, when it launched in South Korea and Europe. The 2027 model coming to the US appears to have the same slightly boxy design as the current 2026 model, and it looks like Kia updated the center console to remove the much-mocked "chopping board" armrest in the original design. The North American version will also have a new glossy black "Nightfall" appearance package option. The EV3 will be available in standard and long-range configurations, offer …

“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...

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...

Freedom Capital Markets' Chief Market Strategist Jay Woods discusses the Fed’s latest remarks on oil prices

There’s a great debate these days about what the current crop of AI chatbots should and shouldn’t do for you. We aren’t wise enough to know the answer, but we were interested in hearing what is, apparently, Microsoft’s take on it. Looking at their terms of service for Copilot, we read in the original bold:
Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.
While that’s good advice, we are pretty sure we’ve seen people use LLMs, including Copilot, for decidedly non-entertaining tasks. But, at least for now, if you are using Copilot for non-entertainment purposes, you are...

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. 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 IA, et franchement, ça simplifie tout.
Le principe est assez simple : au lieu de passer deux heures à vérifier si un...

Au début de la guerre en Iran, Benyamin Nétanyahou aurait dû s’adresser au peuple israélien et prononcer un discours churchillien “de sang, de sueur et de larmes”. Mais dès le premier jour, il a crié victoire. Or, le pari militaire du Premier ministre israélien risque de se solder par un échec politique retentissant, estime le quotidien de droite “Yediot Aharonot”.

“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...

Dans un contexte de crise énergétique et de “relations imprévisibles” avec les États-Unis, le président français est en visite au Japon et en Corée du Sud cette semaine. Pour la presse sud-coréenne, le fait qu’il s’agisse du premier déplacement d’un président français en onze ans dans le pays illustre la “méconnaissance” par Paris de “l’ascension rapide de la Corée”.

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. Ce jour est arrivé. J’avais mis la...

Although the jogging stroller is a fixture of suburban life, allowing parents the opportunity to get some exercise while letting their young children a chance for some fresh air, it would seem like the designers of these strollers have never actually gone for a jog. Requiring a runner to hold their hands at fixed positions can be incredibly uncomfortable and disrupts most people’s strides and cadence — so [John] attempted to solve the problem after finding one of these strollers on the secondhand market.
While there are some purpose-built strollers that attempt to address these issues, they can be pricey. Rather than shell out for a top-dollar model, [John] got to work with his 3D printer and created a...

J’ai reçu l’iPhone 17e il y a quelques jours, et je dois d’abord parler de la couleur. Parce que oui, le mien est jaune — un jaune soleil, vif, sans ambiguïté, le genre de teinte qui vous saute à la figure quand vous ouvrez la boîte et qui tranche radicalement avec les coloris passe-partout habituels d’Apple. Je sais bien que le modèle officiel n’existe qu’en noir, blanc et rose pastel, mais j’ai mis la main sur cette version via un revendeur qui propose une finition custom, et franchement, c’est une bonne idée. Apple réserve maintenant les coloris vraiment originaux aux iPhone standard, et les versions abordables héritent de teintes très sages — ce jaune vif, lui, rappelle ce que...

Tout a commencé par une annonce sur un forum de pièces détachées : un MCU de Tesla Model 3 en bon état, vendu pour pièce suite à un accident carrosserie. Le vendeur ne savait pas trop quoi en faire. Moi, si — enfin, pas tout de suite. C’est en rentrant chez moi avec le boîtier sous le bras que l’idée un peu tordue a germé. Le MCU (Media Control Unit) de la Model 3, c’est en gros un PC x86 déguisé en tableau de bord. À l’intérieur, on trouve un processeur Intel Core i3 de huitième génération, 8 Go de RAM, un SSD eMMC, et un écran tactile 15 pouces. Sur le papier, c’est tout à fait la définition d’un Hackintosh potentiel. Il m’a fallu quelques soirées pour cartographier les...

Nothing ever made is truly perfect and indeed, CPU architectures like x86, RISC-V, ARM, and PowerPC all have their own upsides and downsides. Today, I aim to make an architecture that learns from all these mistakes and improves architecture design for everyone.
I’ve consulted with many people opinionated on the matter, both from a software perspective, and from a hardware perspective. I have taken all their feedback in mind while creating this initial draft of the WheatForce architecture (PDF). It is inspired by pieces from many architectures: segmentation inspired by x86, hash table-like paging from PowerPC, dynamic endianness control from RISC-V and PowerPC, and more. Let’s look into each feature in a...

Il y a quelques mois, les rumeurs allaient bon train : Samsung allait abandonner les SSD SATA pour se concentrer sur le NVMe et le marché enterprise. La firme coréenne avait d’ailleurs fini par démentir officiellement, affirmant que la rumeur était « fausse ». Et pour mieux enfoncer le clou, voilà qu’elle élargit discrètement sa gamme dans l’autre sens — vers le haut. Samsung a en effet ajouté un modèle 8 To à sa série 870 EVO, plus de cinq ans après le lancement initial de la gamme en 2021, qui s’arrêtait jusqu’ici à 4 To. Ce n’est pas une révolution technique : on retrouve les mêmes débits SATA plafonnés à 560 Mo/s en lecture et 530 Mo/s en écriture, avec de la NAND TLC...

Traditional site-blocking measures that require local ISPs to block subscriber access to pirate sites have been commonplace in France for years. By blocking pirate domains through ISP DNS resolvers, subscriber access is effectively cut off. However, the measures were only partially effective, as many users simply switched to third-party DNS resolvers to get around them.
In 2024, an order from the Paris Judicial Court, requested by football and rugby rightsholder Canal+, aimed to patch that loophole. The order required Cloudflare, Google, and Cisco to actively block access to pirate sites through their own DNS resolvers, confirming that third-party intermediaries can be required to take responsibility.

Overhead power lines coursing through the city’s backyards are forcing some to shift plans around, sometimes with out-of-the-box solutions.Like true love, the practice of architecture doesn’t always run smoothly. But Ben Warwas faced a sizable hitch when designing a backyard house, or ADU, in L.A.’s Mar Vista neighborhood: the power lines overhanging the rear lot line. Since the architectural designer’s clients were committed to converting their garage into a two-story ADU, placing it in proximity to the L.A. Department of Water & Power’s height restrictions, Warwas now had to find a way to work around the lines. Though overhead power lines pose a challenge to architects and designers around the...

Dans une ville comme Strasbourg, les élections municipales comportent une dimension supplémentaire : celle de la coopération transfrontalière. Située au cœur d'un espace frontalier dynamique, Strasbourg s'inscrit dans une région particulièrement ouverte sur ses voisins européens. La région Grand Est, qui totalise près de 800 kilomètres de frontières et compte plus de 203 000 travailleurs frontaliers, constitue d'ailleurs la deuxième région exportatrice de France. Historiquement, les élections municipales mobilisent une part importante des citoyens et enregistrent généralement des taux de participation élevés. Cette mobilisation s'explique notamment par la proximité entre les élus locaux...

Some projects need no complicated use case to justify their development, and so it was with [Janne]’s BeamInk, which mashes a Wacom pen tablet with an xTool F1 laser engraver with the help of a little digital glue. For what purpose? So one can use a digital pen to draw with a laser in real time, of course!
Pen events from the drawing tablet get translated into a stream of G-code that controls laser state and power.
Here’s how it works: a Python script grabs events from a USB drawing tablet via evdev (the Linux kernel’s event device, which allows user programs to read raw device events), scales the tablet size to the laser’s working area, and turns pen events into a stream of laser power and movement...
