The 16GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 (pictured) has jumped from $120 to $145. Raspberry Pi is increasing the price of several single-board computers in an attempt to offset soaring memory costs. The updates are being applied immediately and affect Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, with prices increasing by $5 to $25 depending on the model and amount of RAM. The 16GB memory variants of the Compute Module 5 are also being raised by $20, now starting at $140. “The current pressure on memory prices, driven by competition from the AI infrastructure roll-out, is painful but ultimately temporary,” Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton said in the announcement. “We remain committed to driving down the cost of computing...

Connected devices are ubiquitous in our era of wireless chips heavily relying on streaming data to someone else’s servers. This sentence might already start to sound dodgy, and it doesn’t get better when you think about today’s smart glasses, like the ones built by Meta (aka Facebook).
[sh4d0wm45k] doesn’t shy away from fighting fire with fire, and shows you how to build a wireless device detecting Meta’s smart glasses – or any other company’s Bluetooth devices, really, as long as you can match them by the beginning of the Bluetooth MAC address.

The tides are turning in the AI race, and the pressure is getting to OpenAI. Chief executive Sam Altman reportedly declared a “code red” on Monday, urging staff to improve its flagship product ChatGPT, an indicator that the startup’s once-unassailable lead is eroding as competitors like Google and Anthropic close in.   In the memo, reported by the Wall Street Journal and The Information, Altman said the company will be delaying initiatives like ads, shopping and health agents, and a personal assistant, Pulse, to focus on improving ChatGPT. This includes core features like greater speed and reliability, better personalization, and the ability to answer more questions, he said. There will be a daily call...

You can’t make this up. Microsoft shipped a Windows 11 update yesterday that is supposed to make dark mode more consistent, with dialogs in File Explorer finally getting a dark mode for actions like copying, moving, or deleting files and folders. You get all that, but Microsoft will also treat you with a giant white flash every time you open File Explorer. “After installing KB5070311, you might experience issues when opening File Explorer in dark mode,” admits Microsoft in the known issues section of its new Windows 11 update. “The window might briefly display a blank white screen before loading files and folders.” The white flash is like a flash bang if you’re working in the dark with dark mode...

Le bestiau s’appelle “Walk Me” et c’est pas juste un concept de designer sous acide puisque ce machin dispose de quatre pattes repliables inspirées de la locomotion animale, notamment celle des chèvres, des crabes et des petits vieux chez Auchan le mardi matin à 8h30.

Want to know if somebody is lying? It’s always so hard to tell. [dbmaking] has whipped up a fun little polygraph, otherwise known as a lie detector. It’s nowhere near as complex as the ones you’ve seen on TV, but it might be just as good when it comes to finding the truth.
The project keeps things simple by focusing on two major biometric readouts — heart rate and skin conductivity. When it comes to the beating heart, [dbmaking] went hardcore and chose an AD8232 ECG device, rather than relying on the crutch that is pulse oximetry. It picks up heart signals via three leads that are just like those they stick on you in the emergency room. Skin conductivity is measured with a pair of electrodes that...

After years of uncontrolled piracy, in 2019 authorities in Brazil teamed up with ICE and the US Department of Justice to launch Operation 404.
Described as a “milestone” for Brazil’s momentum in the fight against piracy, it was revealed that with assistance from overseas, 136 websites and 100 apps had been put out of action, either by domain suspension or site blocking measures. Local agencies and anti-piracy groups including ANCINE (National Film Agency) and the National Council for the Fight Against Piracy (CNCP), were pleased with their work, although it was far from done.

Although it might seem like there was a sudden step change from analog to digital sometime in the late 1900s, it was actually a slow, gradual change from things like record players to iPods or from magnetic tape to hard disk drives. Some of these changes happened slowly within the same piece of hardware, too. Take the Sony DXC-3000A, a broadcast camera from the 1980s. Although it outputs an analog signal, this actually has a discrete pixel CCD sensor capturing video. [Colby] decided to finish the digitization of this camera and converted it to output HDMI instead of the analog signal it was built for.
The analog signals it outputs are those that many of us are familiar with, though: composite video. This was...

Last-gen models are also cheaper than ever right now, with the...

A mosquito has a very finely tuned proboscis that is excellent at slipping through your skin to suck out the blood beneath. Researchers at McGill University recently figured that the same biological structure could also prove useful in another was—as a fine and precise nozzle for 3D printing (via Tom’s Hardware).
Small prints made with the mosquito proboscis nozzle. Credit: research paper
To achieve this feat, the research team harvested the proboscis from a female mosquito, as only the female of the species sucks blood in this timeline. The mosquito’s proboscis was chosen over other similar biological structures, like insect stingers and snake fangs. It was prized for its tiny size, with an inside...

[Aditya Sripada] and [Abhishek Warrier]’s TARS3D robot came from asking what it would take to make a robot with the capabilities of TARS, the robotic character from Interstellar. We couldn’t find a repository of CAD files or code but the research paper for TARS3D explains the principles, which should be enough to inspire a motivated hacker.
What makes TARS so intriguing is the simple-looking structure combined with distinct and effective gaits. TARS is not a biologically-inspired design, yet it can walk and perform a high-speed roll. Making real-world version required not only some inspired mechanical design, but also clever software with machine learning.

Wolf Alice “White Horses”
Unlike most Wolf Alice tracks, Ellie Rowsell doesn’t take the lead on “White Horses,” yet the song still showcases one of her most inspired vocal performances. The primary vocal is handled by drummer Joel Amey, who sings introspective lyrics about not knowing a chunk of his family lineage due to his mother being adopted. His vocal is cool and rhythmic, locked in with his driving beat and the brightly ringing guitar chords. Rowsell goes for contrast, belting out the emotional core of the song – “know who I am, that’s important to me” – in a distinctly B-52’s-esque harmony, right on down to her pinched timbre sounding just like Cindy Wilson. It’s a bold choice...
