Signal is launching secure backups on iOS, allowing you to save and restore your messages in case you lose or break your phone. With the free version of the feature, you can store up to 100MB of text messages, along with the past 45 days’ worth of photos, videos, GIFs, and files. There’s also a $1.99 per month option that can back up all of your text messages, in addition to up to 100GB of media beyond the 45-day cap. Signal first launched secure backups on Android devices in September, which store your messages and media using end-to-end encryption. You can access your backup using a 64-character recovery key generated on your device, though Signal notes that it can’t help you recover the code if you...

The US Consumer Protection Safety Commission issued a stark warning about Rad Power Bikes’ e-bike batteries Monday, linking them to dozens of fires and saying they “pose a risk of serious injury and death.” The batteries can “unexpectedly ignite and explode,” especially when water or debris leaks in to cells or the harness, the agency says. CPSC says there have been 31 fires, including 12 reports of property damage totaling $734,500, some of which occurred when the battery was not charging and the bike was in storage or not in use. No injuries were reported as a result of the fires. The following models are included in the CPSC warning: RadWagon 4, RadCity HS 4, RadRover High Step 5, RadCity Step...

The AI labs never sleep — especially the week before Thanksgiving, it seems. Days after Google’s buzzworthy Gemini 3, and OpenAI’s updated agentic coding model, Anthropic has announced Claude Opus 4.5, which it bills as “the best model in the world for coding, agents, and computer use,” claiming it has leapfrogged even Gemini 3 in different categories of coding. But the model is still too new to have made waves on LMArena yet, a popular crowdsourced AI model evaluation platform. And it’s still facing the same cybersecurity issues that plague most agentic AI tools. The company’s blog post also says Opus 4.5 is significantly better than its predecessor at deep research, working with slides, and...

The cool part about science is that you can ask questions like what happens if you stick some moss spores on the outside of the International Space Station, and then get funding for answering said question. This was roughly the scope of the experiment that [Chang-hyun Maeng] and colleagues ran back in 2022, with their findings reported in iScience.
Used as moss specimen was Physcomitrium patens, a very common model organism. After previously finding during Earth-based experiments that the spores are the most resilient, these were subsequently transported to the ISS where they found themselves placed in the exposure unit of the Kibo module. Three different exposure scenarios were attempted for the spores,...

Les négociations en cours autour du plan américain pour mettre un terme à la guerre en Ukraine rappellent en tous points celles qui ont abouti au cessez-le-feu à Gaza, relève “The Wall Street Journal”. Depuis la présence de Steve Witkoff et de Jared Kushner, du côté américain, jusqu’à l’ultimatum imposé au président ukrainien, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Le plan proposé par l’administration Trump pour mettre un terme à la guerre en Ukraine accroît la pression sur Kiev, dont les forces armées rencontrent des difficultés sur le front. Tandis qu’Ukrainiens et Européens tentent d’amender un texte jugé trop favorable à Moscou, la presse russe dénonce une volonté délibérée de perturber les négociations.

This is the best way to play classic N64 games in 2025.

Medium format cameras have always been a step up from those built in the 35 mm format. By virtue of using a much larger film, they offer improved resolution and performance. If you want a medium format film camera, you can always hunt for some nice vintage gear. Or, you could build one from scratch — like the MRF2 from [IDENTIDEM.design.]
The MRF2 might be a film camera, but in every other way, it’s a thoroughly modern machine. It’s a rangefinder design, relying on a DTS6012M LIDAR time-of-flight sensor to help ensure your shots are always in sharp focus. An ESP32 is responsible for running the show, and it’s hooked up to OLED displays in the viewfinder and on the body to show status info. The lens is...

In the closing hours of JawnCon 0x2, I was making a final pass of the “Free Stuff for Nerds” table when I noticed a forlorn Kindle that had a piece of paper taped to it. The hand-written note explained that the device was in shambles — not only was its e-ink display visibly broken, but the reader was stuck in some kind of endless boot loop. I might have left it there if it wasn’t for the closing remark: “Have Fun!”
Truth is, the last thing I needed was another Kindle. My family has already managed to build up a collection of the things. But taking a broken one apart and attempting to figure out what was wrong with it did seem like it would be kind of fun, as I’d never really had the opportunity...

The Bomem DA3 is a type of Fourier transform spectrometer used for measuring various spectral data and [Usagi Electric] has one. On his quest to understand it he runs down a number of rabbit holes, including learning about various barcode formats, doing a teardown of the Telxon LS-201 barcode scanner, and exploring how lasers work. That’s right: lasers!
His reason for looking at the Telxon LS-201 barcode scanner is that it has the same type of helium-neon laser as his Bomem DA3 uses. Since he’s learning about barcode scanners he thinks it’s prudent to learn about barcode formats too, and he has a discussion with our very own Adam Fabio about such things, including the UPC-A standard barcodes.
