Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with real-time approximations a common feature in video games. Moving things to the quantum realm gets more complex, though with equilibrium many-body systems still quite solvable. Where things get interesting is with nonequilibrium quantum systems.
These open systems are subject to energy gains and losses that disrupt its equilibrium. The truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) is used as a semi-classical method to solve these, but dissipative spin systems proved tricky. Now however [Hosseinabadi] et al. have put forward a TWA framework (PR article) for driven-dissipative many-body dynamics that...

When you think of air conditioners, you tend to think of rather bulky units, with the window-mounted appliances probably among the most compact. There’s however no real minimum size limit to these AC units, as long as you can get an appropriate compressor. If you also manage to pick up a small, DC-powered compressor like [Hyperspace Pirate] did, then you might be tempted to make a hand-portable, battery-powered AC unit.
At their core vapor-compression AC units are very simple, featuring the aforementioned compressor, a condensing coil, expansion valve and the evaporator coil. Or in other words, some radiators looted out of other...

Dominion Energy, an offshore wind developer and utility serving Virginia's "data center alley," filed suit against the Trump administration this week over its decision to pause federal leases for large offshore wind projects. The move puts a sudden stop to five wind farms already under construction, including Dominion's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. The complaint Dominion filed Tuesday alleges that a stop work order that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued Monday is unlawful, "arbitrary and capricious," and "infringes upon constitutional principles that limit actions by the Executive Branch." Dominion wants a fede …

[Nicholas Murray]’s Composite Test Pattern Generator is a beautifully-made, palm-sized tool that uses an ESP32-based development board to output different test patterns in PAL/NTSC. If one is checking out old televisions or CRTs, firing up a test pattern can be a pretty handy way to see if the hardware is healthy or not.
The little white add-on you see attached to the yellow portion is a simple circuit (two resistors and an RCA jack) that allows the microcontroller to output a composite video signal. All one needs to do is power on the device, then press the large button to cycle through test patterns. A small switch on the side toggles between NTSC and PAL video formats. It’s adorable, and makes good use...

The modular PC company Framework is adjusting the price of its DDR5 RAM modules once again as the cost of memory continues to surge. In an update on Wednesday, Framework said it will charge $10 per GB for 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB, with "slightly higher" prices for the 48GB and up.
Framework first announced a price hike on memory earlier this month, citing "substantially higher costs" from suppliers and distributors. With this most recent increase in place, the 8GB variation jumped from $60 to $80, the 16GB option increased from $120 to $160, and the 32GB variation went from $240 to $320. Meanwhile, the price tag of the 48GB option more than doub …

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) forms the bridge between the analog world of paper and the world of machines. The modern-day expectation is that when we point a smartphone camera at some characters it will flawlessly recognize and read them, but OCR technology predates such consumer technology by a considerable amount, with IBM producing OCR systems as early as the 1950s. In a 1960s promotional video on the always delightful Periscope Film channel on YouTube we can get an idea of how this worked back then, in particular the challenge of variable quality input.
What drove OCR was the need to process more paper-based data faster, as the amount of such data increased and computers got more capable. This led...

My PCP air rifle is a Weihrauch HW100 T.
The rifle developed a slow leak: I could fill and use it, but over the course of a couple of days any stored pressure would be gone. This was problematic because leaving the gun empty for long periods can allow moisture to find its way into the cylinder.
My leak appeared after I'd removed the cylinder for a depressurisation. I refilled it before re-attaching, so the seals will have gone from 1 to 200 bar in an instant (which is fine... until it isn't).
This post describes dismantling the gun to replace various o-rings. It walks through checking the most likely culprits up to replacing the regulator seals and then resetting the regulator pressure. Contents Contents

Unlike the day after Thanksgiving, when people are rushing online and to the stores to look for deals, the day after Christmas is usually a time to recover from the festivities and check your budget to see how much all that gifting has cost you. However, if you're in a shopping mood, or if you suddenly realized you forgot somebody important, there are still some deals out there.
For example, Nintendo is offering a bunch of its best-known games at deals ranging from 25 to 50 percent off. These include Princess Peach: Showtime ($41.99 down from $59.99), The Legend of Zelda, Echoes of Wisdom (also $41.99 down from $59.99), Super Mario Odyssey …

In October, several Reddit posts appeared online that supposedly linked to a leaked copy of the Minions 3 audio. These postings were swiftly removed by Reddit, presumably after they were targeted by DMCA takedown notices, but the user kept submitting new posts. The leaker, known as DrChoclateBob on Reddit, also relied on YouTube to share the audio using the “CHOCOLATE BOB” and “ChoclateBob” handles. These uploads were also spotted by rightsholders and were eventually removed. Despite multiple warnings and strikes, the leaker continued sharing copies on YouTube, Google Drive, and elsewhere.

Officiellement, il n’existe que trois ROM pour le Power Macintosh G3 beige : la A, la B et la C. Mais l’année dernière, une quatrième est apparue. Le Power Macintosh G3 original, le beige, est un peu particulier : c’est un des derniers modèles avec une ROM physique. Dans tous les Macintosh des années 80 et jusqu’à la fin des années 90, la ROM est un composant physique (une barrette ou des puces placées sur la carte mère) qui contient le nécessaire pour démarrer le Macintosh (comme le BIOS d’un PC) mais aussi littéralement une partie du système d’exploitation, comme certains pilotes.

At the end of every year, we take a look at the most-downloaded TV shows among torrenting pirates.
When we started our annual list in the late 2000s, it was headed by network TV shows such as Heroes and Lost, but the TV landscape has changed dramatically. Today, streaming services dominate the TV landscape. While most households have at least one subscription, keeping up with all popular TV shows requires a handful of paid plans, at minimum. This fragmentation has made piracy relevant again. Many pirates have legitimate paid subscriptions, but they turn to unauthorized sources to complement what they can’t or don’t want to pay for.
This year, two popular Netflix shows are in the lead, with Stranger Things...
