Samsung's annual Galaxy S-series reveal is later than usual this year, but we finally have a confirmed date to circle on the calendar: February 25th. And if you were hoping for major hardware upgrades from the company's flagship phones, you probably shouldn't hold your breath: an extensive leak published by WinFuture has seemingly confirmed that the S26 series will be a software-focused affair.
According to the leaked specs, the standard S26 will allegedly get a nominally larger battery - 4300mAh compared to 4000mAh - which is great news for the last "small" phone left standing. Once again, all three phones will lack built-in Qi2 magnets, o …

It seems clear at this point to say that Donald Trump does not want to spend a single dime on EV charging. He tried to freeze $5 billion in funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was approved as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And when a federal judge ordered the government to unfreeze the funds, his administration came up with a new tactic to stall the plan. EV chargers must now be built in the US, with components that also originate in the US, in order to receive federal funding, the US Department of Transportation said today. Under the proposal, EV chargers would need to boost their US- …

Listen to the podcast or read the full transcript here. Joining me today is Zion Lights, an award-winning science communicator who is known for her vision of a high-energy, low-carbon future. Her latest book is titled Energy is Life: Why Environmentalism Went Nuclear. Zion, tell me, what inspired this book? There are a lot of good nuclear energy books out there, but they tend to focus on the technology. That’s good, but people who read technical books tend to already agree that nuclear energy is good. I’m trying to convince people to think differently. So, I’ve written this book as a narrative following my journey as an anti-nuclear environmental activist to where I am now, while also explaining things...

When [101 Things] didn’t want to copy Morse code, he decided to build a Pi Pico system to read it for him. On the face of it, this doesn’t seem particularly hard, until you look at the practical considerations. With perfectly timed dots and dashes, it would be trivial. But in real life, you get an audio signal. It has been mangled and mixed with noise and interference as it travels through the air. Then there’s the human on the other end who will rarely send at a constant speed with no errors.
Once you consider that, this becomes quite the project, indeed. The decoder captures audio via the Pi’s analog-to-digital converter. Then it resamples the input, applies an FFT, and converts the output via a...

As popular as the game of chess is, it has one massive flaw. This being that it requires two participants, which can be a challenge. Although playing chess on a computer against an AI has been a thing for many decades, it’s hard to beat physical chess boards that give you all the tactile pleasure of handling and moving pieces, yet merging the two is tricky. You can either tell the player to also move the opponent’s pieces, or use a mechanism to do so yourself, which [Joshua Stanley] recently demonstrated in a video.
There are a few ways that you can go about having the computer move and detect the pieces. Here [Joshua] chose to use Hall magnetic sensors to detect the magnets that are embedded in the 3D...

The owners of a 1948 home in San Mateo, California, were already midway through a kitchen and living room renovation when they realized they hadn’t made plans for an awkward, 67-square-foot nook between the kitchen and a sprawl of front windows. But being avid book collectors—of cookbooks, in particular, some of which are family heirlooms—they had a dream that, perhaps, they could stop using it...

When it comes to knowledge there are things you know as facts because you have experienced them yourself or had them verified by a reputable source, and there are things that you know because they are common knowledge but unverified. The former are facts, such as that a 100mm cube of water contains a litre of the stuff, while the latter are received opinions, such as the belief among Americans that British people have poor dental care. The first is a verifiable fact, while the second is subjective.
In our line there are similar received opinions, and one of them is that you shouldn’t print with old 3D printing filament because it will ruin the quality of your print. This is one I can now verify for myself,...
