Enthusiast gaming keyboard tech has made the jump to gaming mice - well, to one gaming mouse so far. The $179.99 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is the first to feature analog sensors that use induction to register clicks faster than microswitches used in many mice. Those sensors allow for a host of cool features beyond just lower latency. There's a rapid trigger setting, popularized by Hall effect keyboards, that lets them quickly reset after being pressed to receive another input. The sensors in this mouse also let you customize how much you need to press each of the main buttons to send an input, requiring almost no pressure at all, a cli …

I can still hear it whining and whirring. | Photo by Robert Hart / The Verge After a few weeks living with Casio's AI-powered pet, Moflin, I finally understand why my mother hated my Furby so much. The fuzzy, guinea-pig-adjacent puffball fits snugly in the palm of my hand. It's undeniably cute, in a weird kind of way, but the second it starts to squeak or twitch, I am hit with an overwhelming desire to hurl it as far as I can. My antipathy surprises me. By any metric, I am the exact kind of person Moflin was made for: I long for the companionship of a pet, but can't own one thanks to a mixture of lifestyle, allergies, a small London flat, and a broadly irresponsible temperament that makes caring for another...

The first-gen AirTag remains a good tracker, though remember you’ll need to buy a separate accessory to attach it to your belongings. | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge With Apple’s second-gen AirTags now widely available, we’re already seeing inventory of the first-gen model begin to dwindle. Case in point? Amazon is no longer selling a single AirTag, and it’s unclear when — or if — the retailer will restock the first-gen model. Thankfully, you can still grab a four-pack of the first-gen location trackers for around $64 ($35 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for Presidents Day, which is $2 shy of the bundle’s best price to date. If you just want one, you can also buy a single tracker at...

Many of the emails released by the Department of Justice from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein are full of garbled symbols like: Or: The scrambled text is so ubiquitous that it's spurred conspiracy theories that it could be some kind of code. But as believable as it might be that a cabal of elite sex traffickers would communicate in a secret language, the reality is probably more boring: The symbols are likely artifacts from the way the Department of Justice converted the emails to PDFs. "The glyphs and symbols are probably some artifact of a poor conversion process," said Chris Prom, professor and archivist at the University of Il …

How it started
Long before the generative AI explosion, video game developers made games that could generate their own worlds. Think of titles like Minecraft or even the original 1980 Rogue that is the basis for the term "roguelike"; these games and many others create worlds on the fly with certain rules and parameters. Human developers painstakingly work to make s …

There are some stories that you can tell a writer has enjoyed composing, and, likely, whoever wrote the piece for Medical Express reporting on new smart underwear to measure human flatulence was in their element. It follows a University of Maryland project to create a clip-on hydrogen sensor that can be attached to a set of underwear to monitor gaseous emissions.
Lest you think that this research has a non-serious tone to it, it seems that gastroenterologists have incomplete data on what constitutes normal activity. The aim of this research is to monitor a large number of people to create a human flatus atlas that will inform researchers for years to come. Better still, they’re recruiting, so if you’re a...

Trois films sur le théâtre sortis en 2025 sont actuellement sur les écrans (au moins en région parisienne) : Le Maître du kabuki, de Sang-il Lee, Eleonora Duse, de Pietro Marcello et Hamnet, de Chloé Zhao. Trois films « en costumes » tous chroniqués par Le Monde, les deux premiers estampillés « à voir », le troisième carrément qualifié de « chef d’œuvre ». Notre préféré, le premier.  Il met en scène un acteur (interprété par Ryō Yoshizawa) de kabuki, théâtre traditionnel nippon, où les rôles de femme sont tenus exclusivement par des hommes (l’affiche du film ci-contre l’illustre parfaitement). Ce film vaut surtout pour les nombreuses scènes kabukiennes, un genre...

While modern game consoles are certainly excellent, there is still something magical about the consoles of yore. So why not bring the magical nostalgia of a GameCube controller to the excellent modern Switch series of consoles?
This isn’t [Dorison Hugo’s] first attempt at building a Switch dock, but with seven years of development, there are a lot of updates in the project to unpack. One version allows the user to play on the Switch’s screen instead of on a docked display, and another comes with a mechanical lock to prevent the console from being stolen. But what really caught our eye is the modifications made to the OEM Switch docks. As it turns out, there is enough space inside a Switch dock to stuff...

À une époque où le « fédéralisme » est souvent traité comme un mot provocateur dans la politique européenne, l'idée d'une fédération nordique peut sembler presque utopique. Le Danemark, la Finlande, l'Islande, la Norvège et la Suède sont généralement décrits comme des voisins coopératifs plutôt que comme des pionniers constitutionnels. Pourtant, derrière leur tranquille pragmatisme se cache une réalité frappante : aucune région d'Europe n'est mieux adaptée pour expérimenter l'intégration fédérale. Et si jamais cela se produisait, les implications iraient bien au-delà du cercle polaire arctique. La question immédiate n'est pas de savoir si les pays nordiques sont prêts à s'unir...

In the realm of first-world problems, your cheap wall clock doesn’t keep time, so you have to keep setting it. The answer? Of course, you connect it to NTP and synchronize the clock with an atomic time source. If you are familiar with how these generic quartz clock movements work, you can probably guess the first step is to gut the movement, leaving only the drive motor.
The motor is somewhat like a stepper motor. The ESP8266 processor can easily control the clock hands by sending pulses to the motor. The rest is simple network access and control. If the network time is ahead, the CPU gooses the clock a little. If it is behind, the CPU stalls the clock until it catches up. If you’ve ever done a project...

ST’s VL53L5CX is a very small 8×8 grid ranging sensor that can perform distance measurements at a distance of up to 4 meters. In a recent video,[Henrique Ferrolho] demonstrated that this little sensor can also be used to perform a 3D scan of a room. The sensor data can be combined with an IMU to add orientation information to the scan data. These data streams are then combined by an ESP32 MCU that streams the data as JSON to a connected computer. Of course, that’s just the heavily abbreviated version, with the video covering the many implementation details that crop up when implementing the system, including noise filtering, orientation tracking using the IMU and a variety of plane fitting algorithms to...

One of the joys of browsing secondhand shops is the possibility of finding old, perhaps restorable or hackable, electronics at low prices. Admittedly, they usually seem to be old flat-screen TVs, cheap speakers, and Blu-ray players, but sometimes you find something like the Dash, an educational toy robot. When [Jonathan] came across one of these, he decided to use it as a turtle robot. However, he found the available Python libraries insufficient, and improving on them required some reverse-engineering. While [Jonathan] was rather impressed with the robot as it was – it had a good set of features, and thought had clearly been put into the design – he wanted a more open way to control it. There was already...

I use an FX Pocket Chronograph V2 to help monitor the power output of my air rifles.
It's a small radar based device which hangs below the barrel and links to my phone to write readings into the FX Radar app.
Although obviously quite useful while shooting, I also wanted to be able to monitor behaviour over time. For example, if the rifle's output trends down, it might suggest worn seals, whereas trending up could raise significant legal concerns.
So, like most other things that I monitor, I wanted to get the data into InfluxDB so that I could visualise and alert using Grafana.
This post describes the script that I wrote to process FX Radar exports and ingest them into InfluxDB.
Although I use this for airguns,...
