Will Stancil | Photo by Jack Califano / The Verge I met Will Stancil two days before he got booted from his neighborhood Signal chat. We were at the Uptown Minneapolis VFW at an event hosted by Rep. Ilhan Omar, a thank-you party for Minnesotans who fought ICE in ways big and small. There were tacos and drinks, and dancing, though I never saw Stancil dance, which is not to say it never happened. A friend of mine who knows of Stancil from his work on school desegregation was surprised I knew who he was. She had no idea he was a combative, divisive online personality. She didn't know about his arguments with leftists on Bluesky or his fights with white supremacists on X, or about the fact that …

A modern computer can be a great productivity tool. It can also be a great source of distractions. To solve that issue, [Quackieduckie] built the e-typer—a device for writing without distraction.
[Quackieduckie] refers to the device as a “low-cost e-ink typewriter” which lays out the basic mode of operation. It consists of a 4.2 inch e-ink screen, combined with an Orange Pi Zero 2W running the Armbian operating system. It’s set up to boot straight into a document editor so there’s no messing around with other software that could get in the way of productivity. The components are all wrapped up in a tidy 3D printed housing, which includes a foldable stand so you can prop the screen up wherever you...

J’en avais parlé avec la manette Game Cube pour Nintendo Switch 2, mais le constat est le même avec la manette Pro Controller pour Switch 2 et les Joy-Con 2 (qui viennent de sortir dans de nouvelles couleurs) : ça ne fonctionne pas sur Mac ou iPhone. Apple ajoute généralement les nouvelles manettes assez rapidement, mais ce n’est pas le cas de celles de la Switch 2. La raison principale c’est a priori qu’elles utilisent le Bluetooth LE plutôt que le Bluetooth pour la connexion. C’est un problème qui touche aussi de temps en temps les souris (quelques modèles sont uniquement Bluetooth LE et nécessitent un système compatible) mais dans le cas des manettes, il n’y a visiblement pas de prise...

As anyone who’s made a thing knows, a lot of work goes into bringing something from idea to completion. But there’s also considerable satisfaction in the process. [Willian] recently did exactly that, and shares the joyful experience of creating a homebrew handheld game gadget from scratch. It runs a homebrewed Tetris clone (as well as Snake), and we love the results.
The game gadget uses an ATmega328P programmed via the Arduino IDE, and a 1.8″ TFT color LCD screen. It’s self-contained in a box with a few buttons as controls and runs off three AAA cells. [Willian] made the smart design choice to run the microcontroller at 8 MHz instead of the more common 16 MHz, because doing so meant the board can run...

It’s becoming somewhat of a theme that machine-generated content – whether it’s code, text or graphics – keeps pushing people to their limits, mostly by how such ‘AI slop’ is generally of outrageously poor quality, but as in the case of [Vincent Driessen] there’s also a clear copyright infringement angle involved. Recently he found that Microsoft had bastardized a Git explainer graphic which he had in 2010 painstakingly made by hand, with someone at Microsoft slapping it on a Microsoft Learn explainer article pertaining to GitHub.
As noted in a PC Gamer article on this clear faux pas, Microsoft has since quietly removed the graphic and replaced it with something possibly less AI slop, but with...

A storybook ending.

When a stone sits on the Earth’s surface, cosmic rays quietly pepper it, leaving behind rare isotopes like tiny time stamps. Bury the stone deep enough, and that cosmic “printing press” shuts off. From there, those isotopes decay in a predictable way. In geology, that is as close as you get to a stopwatch. That stopwatch, along with two other independent clocks, has helped researchers build a sharper timeline for ‘Ubeidiya, an early prehistoric site in Israel’s Jordan Valley. The site has long mattered to anyone trying to map how early humans moved beyond Africa. A new study argues the site is at least 1.9 million years old, older than many past estimates and among the earliest known records of early...

With the ESP32-P4 not having any wireless functionality and instead focusing on being a small SoC, it makes sense to combine it with a second chip that handles features like WiFi and Bluetooth. This makes the Guition ESP32-P4-M3 module both a pretty good example of how the P4 will be used, and an excellent opportunity to tear into, decap and shoot photos of the dies of both the P4 and the ESP32-C6 in this particular module, courtesy of [electronupdate]. There also the blog post for those who just want to ogle the shinies.
After popping the metal shield on the module, you can see the contents as in the above photo. The P4 inside is a variant...

Brian Boland spent more than a decade figuring out how to build a system that would make Meta money. On Thursday, he told a California jury it incentivized drawing more and more users, including teens, onto Facebook and Instagram - despite the risks.
Boland's testimony came a day after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stand in a case over whether Meta and YouTube are liable for allegedly harming a young woman's mental health. Zuckerberg framed Meta's mission as balancing safety with free expression, not revenue. Boland's role was to counter this by explaining how Meta makes money, and how that shaped its platforms' design. Boland testified …

Each episode of HBO's The Pitt features some degree of medical trauma that almost makes the hospital drama feel like a horror series. Some patients are dealing with gnarly lacerations while others are fighting off vicious blood infections that could rob them of their limbs, and the chaos of working in an emergency room often leaves The Pitt's central characters shaken. But as alarming as many of The Pitt's more gore-forward moments can be, what's even more unsettling is the show's slow-burning subplot about hospitals adopting generative artificial intelligence.
In its second season, The Pitt once again chronicles all the events that happen …

The first clue sits in a museum drawer, not on a windswept Arctic shore. It is a whale bone, marked and shaped by human hands. Around it are more bones, more tools, and a coastal story that reaches back 5,000 years. New research from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Department of Prehistory of the UAB says Indigenous communities in southern Brazil hunted large whales far earlier than scholars once believed. The work places active whaling in Babitonga Bay, in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state, about a thousand years before the earliest documented evidence from Arctic and North Pacific societies. If you have ever pictured early whaling as a...

With Ring facing fierce backlash over its Search Party feature, a new program is challenging developers to move Ring doorbell footage off of Amazon's cloud - and into users' own devices. The Fulu Foundation, the consumer advocacy group cofounded by YouTuber Louis Rossmann, is offering an initial bounty of $10,000 to anyone who can integrate Ring doorbells with a local PC or server, while cutting off access to Amazon's servers.
Ring users currently have to pay a subscription fee to store recordings in Amazon's cloud. While the company has a local storage option through Ring Edge, it's only available with the Ring Alarm Pro, and it still requ …

Summary: We introduce the American Abundance Index, which measures living standards by how many hours Americans must work to afford a standard basket of goods, rather than by prices or wages alone. The index uses time prices to show that for most US workers, purchasing power has generally risen over the last two decades, even amid inflation and public pessimism. The resilience of the American worker is one of the most underreported stories of the 2020s. From red tape to import taxes, successive governments have erected barriers to success. Yet America’s workers have persevered and figured out ways to prosper. A new American Abundance Index illustrates this. The project from Human Progress, an arm of the Cato...

“The Brazilian Amazon is on pace to see forest clearing hit a record low this year, government figures show. Officials credit the decline to stepped-up enforcement against illegal deforestation. Brazil tracks yearly deforestation starting in August and ending in July. From August through the end of January, the Amazon has seen just 516 square miles of forest cleared, according to satellite data. That is the lowest figure for this period since 2014.” From Yale Environment 360.

“From Vietnam to Malaysia and Indonesia, Southeast Asian governments are narrowing the use of the death penalty and edging, often cautiously, toward abolition.  At present, eight of the 11 Southeast Asian countries retain the death penalty. Only Cambodia, the Philippines and Timor-Leste have abolished it in law. But recent years have seen most of the retentionist states abide by de facto moratoriums on executions and pass new legislation so death is no longer the mandatory punishment for certain crimes.” From DW.

It’s hard to buy a bad pair of wireless earbuds these days, and with constant discounts and deals wherever you look, now is as good a time as any to splurge on the pair you’ve been eyeing. The market has come a long way since the early era of true wireless earbuds, when we had to deal with mediocre sound quality and unreliable performance, all for the sake of ditching cables. Things are much different now. After several product generations, companies like Sony, Apple, Bose, and others are releasing their most impressive earbuds to date.  You can get phenomenal noise cancellation and sound quality in the premium tier of earbuds if you’re willing to spend big. But those aren’t always the most important...

Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are called codons, and they are the genetic code’s way of spelling out amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. For drugmakers, those tiny choices add up. Industrial yeasts already manufacture vaccines and other protein-based drugs, but getting a new protein production process working well can take a lot of trial and error. Massachusetts Institute of Technology chemical engineers now report a different approach: let a language model learn the yeast’s codon habits, then ask it to write a gene that the yeast can translate more smoothly. The team focused on Komagataella phaffii, a...

When you’re livestreaming, it can be tempting to fire off all kinds of wacky sound effects like you’re a morning radio DJ back in the heady days of 1995. If that’s who you want to be, you might like this soundboard project from [Biker Glen].
The build is based around an RP2040 microcontroller. It’s paired with an I2S digital-to-analog converter for sound output, which in turn feeds a small amplifier hooked up to a speaker or a line output.  The RP2040 is programmed to respond to MIDI commands by playing various sounds in response, which are loaded off a microSD card. It’s able to act as a USB MIDI host, which allows it to work seamlessly with all sorts of off-the-shelf MIDI controllers like the MIDI...

Labrinth “Orchestra”
“Orchestra” is an expression of self-loathing that doubles as a statement of artistic intent. Labrinth says he’s a people pleaser, and that he’s desperate for attention and applause to soothe his fragile ego. He’ll become anything you need him to be, become every player in an orchestra designed to please your ears. He’s a creep, he’s a weirdo, but he’s found exactly what he needs to do to belong here. And he’s very good at it! The song’s spectacular arrangement overwhelms the bitter sentiment, and he’s so good at provoking sensation and providing moments of pure pop thrill that you can easily tune out the sarcasm and misery in the vocals. Buy it from Amazon.
