Dans la seconde newsletter d’Apple sur la Pippin, qui date de l’automne 1995, Apple explique que la console utilise de la mémoire SRAM pour son stockage interne. Mais ça m’a étonné, et je suis allé vérifier : c’est bien de la mémoire flash dans la console. La console intègre 128 ko de mémoire interne (1 mégabit). C’est une valeur faible, mais elle a l’avantage d’être non volatile. Si on prend les consoles de l’époque, la PlayStation a des cartes mémoire de la même capacité, la Saturn intègre 32 ko en interne et la Nintendo 64 a des cartes mémoire de 32 ko. Sony utilise de la mémoire flash, les deux autres de la SRAM et c’est un problème. Dans la Saturn, la pile se vide...

La chaine youtube Gamers Nexus vient de publier ses premiers benchmarks GPU sous Linux, et pour leurs tests, ils ont choisi
Bazzite
. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas Bazzite, c’est une distro basée sur Fedora qui est conçue pour le gaming et qui se rapproche fortement de ce que propose SteamOS tout en restant utilisable comme OS de bureau classique.
C’est une distribution immuable, ce qui signifie que le système de base ne peut pas être modifié facilement. En effet, à chaque reboot, les modifications système sont annulées ce qui peut sembler contraignant mais en réalité c’est un avantage énorme pour les benchmarks car l’environnement reste stable et reproductible entre les...

The hoverboard, one of the teen crazes of the last decade, is both a marvel of technology and a source of hacker parts that have appeared in so many projects on these pages. It contains an accelerometer or similar, along with a microcontroller and a pair of motor controllers to drive its in-wheel motors. That recipe is open to interpretation of course and we’ve seen a few in our time, but perhaps not quite like this steampunk design from [Skrubis]. It claims a hoverboard design with no modern electronics, only relays, mercury switches, and neon bulbs.
The idea is that it’s a hoverboard from 1884 using parts available in that era, hence there’s talk of telegraph relays and galvanomic piles. The write-up...

There are a few major companies out there building colorful LED panels you can stick on your wall for aesthetic purposes. Most commercial options are pretty expensive, and come with certain limitations in how they can be controlled. [Smart Solutions For Home] has whipped up a flexible DIY design for decorating your walls with light that is altogether more customizable.
In this case, the DIY light panels ape the hexagonal design made popular by brands like Nanoleaf. In this case, each hexagon panel runs an ESP32 microcontroller, which controls a series of WS2812 addressable LEDs. This allows each panel to glow whatever color you like, and they’re arranged in an XY grid to enable you to light individual panels...

For more than a hundred years, scientists believed flying reptiles called pterosaurs took to the air with birdlike brains. Old fossils seemed to show it. Hard stone casts inside skulls hinted at big vision centers, short smell regions, and strong balance controls, much like birds. Those clues tied flight to a special brain design. Bigger brains, the thinking went, meant better control in the sky. Birds helped cement the idea. Many birds have large brains for their size, and some rival primates. It felt simple. Smart brain equals smooth flight. New research now tells a different story, and it is far more surprising. A team led by Matteo Fabbri at Johns Hopkins Medicine used high-resolution CT scans to peer...

Closed-cell self-expanding foam (spray foam) is an amazing material that sees common use in construction. But one application that we hadn’t heard of before was using it to fill the internal voids of 3D printed objects. As argued by [Alex] in a half-baked-research YouTube video, this foam could be very helpful with making sure that printed boats keep floating and water stays out of sensitive electronic bits.
It’s pretty common knowledge by now that 3D printed objects from FDM printers aren’t really watertight. Due to the way that these printers work, there’s plenty of opportunity for small gaps and voids between layers to permit moisture to seep through. This is where the use of this self-expanding...

Is there anything quite like the satisfying snap of folding prongs? Earlier this year, I decided to level up my travel game and invest in a charger to bring on trips, rather than raiding my desk outlets every time I packed. I needed a multitasker, something that could power my MacBook Air, charge my phone, and accommodate the random USB-A cord I always seem to need for some reason (I’m looking at you, electric toothbrush). That multitasker turned out to be Anker’s Prime 67W charger, and I haven’t looked back since.

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Fractal Scape, a wireless gaming headset made for PC (also compatible with Switch 2) that really wowed me. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much in this debut headset from a company known mostly for making PC cases, but it’s one of the most thoughtfully-designed models that I’ve tried recently. If you’re in the market for an elegant headset that sounds great and docks to recharge (keeping cable clutter to a minimum on your desk), I suggest checking out the Black Friday special on the Scape. The discount on these initially brought them down to $169.99, but you can now snag a pair at Amazon and B&H Photo in both black and gray for $139.99, which is $60 off the usual...

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic signals that ripple across materials atom by atom. Those signals hold clues to how tomorrow’s electronics, sensors and computers might work. Now a team at Princeton University says it has found a way to see that hidden world more clearly than ever before, using defects inside diamonds and a trick from quantum physics. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers report a quantum sensor that is about 40 times more sensitive than earlier diamond-based tools. The sensors are built from engineered flaws inside lab-grown diamonds that behave like tiny magnetic compasses. When...

You might find it kind of sad to put your hard-earned Switch 2 into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing.

Fujifilm knows how to commit to a bit. | Photo: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Fujifilm’s unusual X Half elicited a lot of feelings from photographers when it came out earlier this year — from “That looks like so much fun,” to “Wait, it costs how much?“ Its $849.95 list price felt way too high for what is, by all accounts, a fun, unserious little point-and-shoot. But its $649 sale price? Much easier to stomach. The X Half comes with a 1-inch sensor, a fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens, and a whole lot of nostalgia-inducing features, designed to make it feel like you’re shooting with an old-school analogue camera. There are, of course, vintage film simulations, but it goes beyond that with a mode that...

The IKEA SMÅSNÖRE is a flexible silicone rod with an embedded LED strip, attached at each end to a base. It’s eye-catching enough, and it has the useful property of providing a diffuse light from multiple angles that makes it a promising candidate for a work lamp. That’s enough for [Daniel James] to create his own lamp on a similar vein.
The electronics of his lamp are straightforward enough: a 12 volt LED strip whose brightness is controlled by a Pi Pico in response to a potentiometer as a brightness control. It’s not quite stiff enough to form the arch itself, so he’s created a 3D printed chain that forms the structure of the lamp. Similar to a bicycle chain in the way it’s constructed, it has...

For more than a decade, a set of tiny lead books from Jordan has sat in a strange place between wonder and doubt. Some people claimed they might come from the earliest days of Christianity. Many scholars called them outright fakes. Now, after years of argument, a detailed scientific study has taken a hard look at the metal itself and given you a more complex answer than a simple real or fake. A Controversy That Would Not Go Away The objects, known as the Jordan lead codices, look like miniature books cast in lead, with pages joined by metal rings. Their surfaces carry symbols, portraits and lines of text that blend several styles. From the start, that mix raised red flags for historians. The new work does not...

The usual input device for playing a synthesizer is the good old piano keyboard. However, you don’t have to stick to such pedestrian interfaces when making music. [Daisy] has a fun build that shows us how to put together a ribbon synth that makes wonderful little noises.
Naturally, the heart of the build is a ribbon potentiometer (also known as soft pots). It’s essentially a touch sensitive strip that changes in resistance depending on where you touch it. You can slide your finger up and down to vary the output continuously; in musical contexts, they can behave rather like a fretless instrument. [Daisy] employs one of these potentiometers in such a role by hooking it up to a Daisy Seed microcontroller...

Gastrointestinal cancers rank among the deadliest in the world, yet they often grow in places doctors struggle to reach.

Now a team at the University of Macau has designed a tiny, spider inspired robot that could change how doctors explore and treat the digestive tract. Rethinking How Doctors Explore the Gut Traditional endoscopes are long, rigid or semi rigid tubes with cameras at the tip. They can scrape delicate tissue, cause discomfort, and sometimes fail to reach deep or sharply bent sections of the intestines. The stomach and intestines are not smooth pipes. They are...

A research team in Dublin believes it has found a way to stop whooping cough not only from making people sick, but from spreading quietly through communities at all. Why Whooping Cough Keeps Coming Back Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a serious infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Modern vaccines have saved many infants from severe disease. Yet outbreaks still occur in countries with high vaccine coverage, and the illness continues to circle back every few years. The problem lies in where protection starts and ends. Current acellular pertussis shots, the ones many children receive, work well at preventing severe symptoms in the lungs. However, they do not fully block the bacteria from...

Five years ago, YouTube ripper Yout.com sued the RIAA, asking a Connecticut district court to declare that the site does not violate the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provision.
The music group had previously used DMCA takedown notices to remove many of Yout’s links from Google’s search results. This had a significant impact on Yout’s advertising revenues, according to operator Johnathan Nader, who always believed he wasn’t breaking any laws.
In 2022, the district court concluded that Yout had failed to show that it doesn’t circumvent YouTube’s technological protection measures. That rendered Yout’s defamation and business disparagement claims moot, but the legal battle was far from over.
