Amazon is suing the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after the agency said it was responsible for recalling all of the dangerous products on its marketplace, including those sold by third parties. In a lawsuit filed last week, Amazon accuses the CPSC of stretching consumer safety law by treating the e-commerce giant as a distributor rather than a logistics provider. The CPSC sued Amazon in 2021, claiming the company failed to properly recall tens of thousands of hazardous items, including flammable children’s pajamas and faulty carbon monoxide detectors. Though Amazon removed the products in question and sent notifications to buyers, the CPSC alleged it “downplayed the severity of the...

In 2021, Colorado-based Internet provider Wide Open West (WOW!) was sued by a group of movie companies including Millennium Media and Voltage Pictures.
The filmmakers accused the ISP of failing to terminate the accounts of subscribers who were repeatedly flagged for sharing copyrighted material.
These types of lawsuits resulted in multi-million dollar judgments against Cox and Grande; a fate WOW hopes to avoid. The ISP challenged the claims and filed a motion to dismiss the case early on, arguing that the allegations fall short. $56 million
This initial motion to dismiss was denied by the Colorado federal court. The tone had been set, however, with WOW describing the movie companies and their anti-piracy...

Google started rolling out an update on Thursday to fix Chromecasts that suddenly lost the ability to cast. Now, it also has a fix to take care of the ones that were unexpectedly bricked after an attempted factory reset. “Everything should now function normally,” Google writes in an email to affected owners of second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio. It also mentions that a new Google Home app update (version 3.30.1.6 for Android and 3.30.106 for iOS) includes the ability to set up and revive broken-after-reset Chromecast devices. The company didn’t say why the devices stopped working, but a Reddit user found evidence the “untrusted device” error may have been due to an expired certificate...

Mark Rober’s Tesla video has kicked up a lot of reactions claiming it was fake. | Screenshot: Mark Rober Over the weekend, former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober published a video that sought to demonstrate the difference between Tesla’s camera-only Autopilot system and a vehicle equipped with lidar. He wanted to see whether the vehicles would stop automatically before hitting a Wile E. Coyote-style wall that was painted to look like a road.  Spoiler alert: the lidar-equipped vehicle brakes before crashing into the wall, while the Tesla Model Y plows right through it. The video was a huge hit, amassing 10 million views in just two days. A lot of people praised Rober for exposing the...

The AI search engine Perplexity just debuted a new ad featuring Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae, who’s trapped in a room and must answer a series of questions to escape. One question targets Google’s AI gaffe last year, as Lee taps Perplexity to answer, “How do I make cheese stick to a pizza?” The AI Overviews in Google Search use results from across the web to feed a summary written by Google’s AI tool. However, users quickly found issues with the feature, including one specific response that said “Mix about 1/8 cup of Elmer’s glue in the sauce” to make cheese stick to pizza. With growing competition from Perplexity and others, Google announced earlier this month that it would start showing AI...

Elecom says its new sodium-ion power bank can be used in hot and cold extreme temperatures. | Image: Elecom Accessory maker Elecom has announced what it’s claiming to be the first consumer-ready power bank that uses a sodium-ion battery instead of a lithium-ion one, as spotted by Notebookcheck. In addition to being more environmentally friendly to manufacture, the 9,000mAh Na Plus can be used in extreme temperatures with less risk of overheating, and has — Elecom claims — a lifespan of almost 5,000 charges. Even if you’re recharging it every single day, after 13 years it should still be providing power. Sodium-ion battery technology is new compared to lithium-ion tech, and production capacities...

Braun was once a mighty pillar of industrial design; a true titan of the mid-century era. Many of the company’s finest works have been forgotten outside of coffee table books and vintage shops. [Distracted by Design] wanted to bring one of the classics back to life—the Braun HL70 desk fan.
The original was quite a neat little device. It made the most of simple round shapes and was able to direct a small but refreshing stream of air across one’s desk on a warm day. In reality, it was probably bought as much for its sleek aesthetics as for its actual cooling ability.
Obviously, you can’t just buy one anymore, so [Distracted by Design] turned to 3D printing to make their own. The core of the build was a...

“Researchers have corrected a disease-causing gene mutation with a single infusion carrying a treatment that precisely targeted the errant gene. This was the first time a mutated gene has been restored to normal. The small study of nine patients announced Monday by the company Beam Therapeutics of Cambridge, Mass., involved fixing a spelling error involving the four base sequences — G, A, C and T — in DNA. The effect was to change an incorrect DNA letter to the right one. The result was a normal gene that functioned as it should, potentially halting liver and lung damage of patients with a rare disorder.” From New York Times.

Step by step, two Spanish creatives convert a Lanzarote farm into a place to live, work, and surf.Fashion and interior designer Georgina "Geo" Giner Gallardo and her art director partner, Zoe Barceló Vicedo, never intended to move to Lanzarote, the fourth largest of Spain’s seven Canary Islands. That is, until they found the perfect spot for their dream house. Zoe, originally from Alicante, was living in Madrid, while Geo, from Barcelona, was working as a fashion designer in Amsterdam. "We were tired of big-city life," admit Zoe. "We’d never thought about Lanzarote, but it was where we found this plot of land." "I’d never imagined the Canary Islands would be the place," Geo says in agreement.   The...

Dance music producer and Torrance native Jennifer Lee, aka TOKiMONSTA , is out with her first album in five years — Eternal Reverie . The project sprung out of a desire to get back in touch with what motivated her to create music in the first place. However, she took a hiatus from the work to take care of her best friend Regina Biondo, who received a cancer diagnosis and died at age 42 last October. Now Eternal Reverie is a tribute to Biondo. Lee tells KCRW that Biondo occasionally managed her music tours, designed her websites, and accompanied her on adventures around the world. Then around April 2024, Biondo was diagnosed with triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer, which had a poor prognosis. She did...

Somehow, an Elka Synthex analog synthesizer made it onto [Mend it Mark]’s repair bench recently. It had a couple of dud buttons, and some keys produced the wrong tone. Remember, this is a completely analog synthesizer from the 1980s, so we’re talking basic 74LS chips and kin. Fortunately, Elka helped him with the complete repair manual, including schematics.

It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps even an obvious flash chip lurking about. The dead giveaway, though, is all those traces leading to the chip, betraying its primacy in the circuit. As all roads lead to Rome, so it often is with microcontrollers.
It looks like that may be about to change, though, based on Texas Instruments’ recent announcement of a line of incredibly small Arm-based microcontrollers. The video below shows off just how small the MSPM0 line can be, ranging from a relatively gigantic TSSOP-20 case down to an eight-pin BGA package...

Are you using a desk mouse like some kind of… normal computer user? Why, beg the heavens? For you could be using an air mouse, of your very own creation! [Misfit Maker] shows the way. Check out what he made in the video below.
An air mouse is a mouse you use in the air—which creates at least one major challenge. Since you’re not sliding along a surface, you can’t track the motion by mechanical friction like a ball mouse or by imaging as in an optical mouse. Instead, this build relies on a gyroscope sensor to track motion and translate that into pointer commands. The build relies on an ESP32-C3 as the microcontroller at the heart of things. It communicates with an MPU6050 gyroscope and accelerometer to...

In 2015, Tim Ellis and Jordan Noone founded Relativity Space around an ambitious goal: to be the first company to put a 3D printed rocket into orbit. While additive manufacturing was already becoming an increasingly important tool in the aerospace industry, the duo believed it could be pushed further than anyone had yet realized.
Rather than assembling a rocket out of smaller printed parts, they imagined the entire rocket being produced on a huge printer. Once the methodology was perfected, they believed rockets could be printed faster and cheaper than they could be traditionally assembled. What’s more, in the far future, Relativity might even be able to produce rockets off-world in fully automated...
