First released in February 2003, Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is an unofficial multiplayer mod for several popular Grand Theft Auto games, starting with GTA III. MTA does not rely on copyright-infringing code, the developers stress, as it works by code injection that hooks into an officially purchased copy of GTA.
The GitHub Takedown
With this setup, MTA managed to avoid any serious backlash from the GTA creator Take-Two Interactive. That is, until the game company purportedly sent a DMCA takedown notice to developer platform GitHub, where MTA’s main repository, ‘mtasa-blue‘ is hosted.
The DMCA notice alleged that the MTA repository included leaked source code and requested it to be removed in full. “We are...

There’s a lot of laboratory equipment out there that the casual hobbyist will never need to use, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t snap it up if the price is right. That’s what happened when [Tom Verbeure] saw a 1980s digital delay generator at a flea market for $40. Not only is it an excellent way to learn something about these devices, but it also provides a fascinating opportunity to troubleshoot and hopefully fix it. Such was also the case with this Stanford Research Systems (SRS) DG535 that turned out to be not only broken, but even features an apparently previously triggered self-destruct feature.
These devices are pretty basic, with this specimen incorporating a Z80 MPU in addition to digital...

It's now far easier to set grouped Philips Hue lights up in scenes.
by The Verge - about 3 hours
SpatialAware lets Hue know where lights are in your room, so it can apply lighting scenes more effectively. Color-changing lights are a lot of fun, but it can be hard to figure out how to best use them in your home. Most smart lighting companies offer pre-designed scenes to help you light your space, but the lights don't know where they are physically in your home, and the effect can get diluted. Philips Hue has a solution to this problem: SpatialAware.
SpatialAware knows your room's layout and the placement of your Hue lights, so it can determine the best way to distribute the scene's colors and effects across them. It gets the data when you scan your space with your smartphone in the Hue app. Using your...

Vous avez une imprimante 3D qui prend la poussière et un Steam Deck qui traîne sur le canapé ? Tom Patty vient de publier sur MakerWorld un projet qui va vous réconcilier avec les deux. L'idée c'est de transformer la console portable de Valve en mini borne d'arcade avec un vrai joystick et de vrais boutons, comme dans les salles de notre jeunesse (oui je suis vieux, je sais).
Le projet s'appelle Mini Arcade Steam Deck et c'est une version compacte d'un précédent design du même créateur. L'avantage de cette nouvelle mouture, c'est qu'elle ne nécessite ni moniteur externe ni haut-parleurs, du coup n'importe qui possédant déjà un Steam Deck peut se lancer. Bref, c'est du DIY accessible. Le Mini...

According to IGN and TechCrunch, sources say Intel is going to compete by developing a custom Intel Core G3 "variant or variants" just for handhelds that could outperform the Arc B390 GPU on the chips it just announced. IGN reports that by using the new 18A process, Intel can cut different di …

As an electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, it’s perhaps not so surprising that light is affected by a magnetic field. This Faraday effect (FE) has been used since its discovery by [Michael Faraday] in 1845 for a wide range of applications, allowing for the manipulation of light’s polarization, something which is very useful in the field of optics, for remote sensing and spintronics. Despite this being such a well-known property of EM radiation a recent study claims to have made a new discovery here, with what they claim is about the ‘optical magnetic field’.
Their central claim is that it is not just the electrical component that contributes to the FE, but also the magnetic one, due to Zeeman energy...

Samsung Display and Intel have teamed up on laptop technology called SmartPower HDR that they claim can minimize power usage while you're watching HDR content on an OLED screen. Intel showed off this technology last year, but Samsung Display is sharing details about how it works and the power savings you might expect. However, the company didn't say which laptops may get SmartPower HDR, so it's still unclear when it will actually be in laptops you can use.
With SmartPower HDR, Samsung Display says the laptop's chipset monitors the peak brightness of each frame it's rendering in real-time. Then the OLED panel's timing controller chip uses th …

The Moto Watch will be available on January 22nd. At CES, Motorola announced its latest smartwatch, the Moto Watch. According to Motorola, the Android watch offers up to 13 days of battery life, alongside Polar-powered health tracking, open-source software, and dual-frequency GPS - a combination that helps set it apart from Apple's and Google's flagship wearables.
Battery life is easily its most notable feature. Motorola says the 47mm watch can last up to 13 days on a single charge, or around seven days with the always-on OLED display enabled. If those claims hold up, it would put the Moto Watch well ahead of rivals like the Apple Watch Series 11, Google Pixel Watch 4, and even Fitbit's Ch …

The concept of building your own hydroelectric generator seems simple at face value: use gravity to impart as much force as possible onto a turbine, which spins a generator, thus generating electricity.

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; eventually you can start extruding the thermoplastic sticks we call “hot glue”. Since there’s no temperature control, the longer you run the gun, the warmer it gets until it is inevitably hotter than you actually want– either burning you or oozing thermoplastic out the tip. [Mellow_Labs] was sick of that after a marathon hot-glue session, and decided to improve on his hot glue gun with PID tuning in the video embedded below.

“We just lived through the period with the fastest population growth in human history. Six decades ago, there were three billion people on our planet. Since 2022, there have been more than eight billion people — an increase of five billion over this period. It would have been impressive if food supplies had merely kept pace with population growth. But as the chart above shows, they grew even faster. On every continent, food supplies — measured by calories — grew faster than the population. This rise in food production per person was a major reason for the decline of extreme poverty and hunger.” From Our World in Data.

When architect Juan Jofre Lora founded his architecture firm, he chose the name Esmero—a Spanish word that roughly translates to "with utmost care."

Jade “Church”
“Church” is mainly a song about pop fandom, and the joy and community that comes from obsessing over an icon and their music. This subject has come up in pop before, but the twist here is that Jade is offering herself up for this idolatry: “While the world burns, let me see you work
Down on your knees, let me be your church” It also sounds like she’s asking to receive oral sex. In either case, she’s inviting worship. The verses present this as a full circle moment, starting from feeling inspired by drag and Beyoncé to attaining her own stardom and “carrying the wisdom that was passed down on to me.” I like the way this extends the “church” metaphor to the notion that pop...
