Last week, many Babato-related communities threw in the towel, following legal pressure from Kakao Entertainment. That sealed the deal for many Batoto followers who still had hopes that the site would return to its former glory after its operator, “Larry”, suddenly disappeared last November. This disappearance was triggered by an entirely different force. CODA Reported Bato.to Operator in China
Today, the Japanese anti-piracy group CODA steps forward as the main driver behind Bato.to’s demise. The group, which represents publishers Kadokawa, Kodansha, Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Square Enix, filed a criminal complaint against the alleged operator in China. The complaint was submitted to the public security...

Doté d’importantes réserves de terres rares et de minerais indispensables à la transition énergétique, le Brésil est approché par Washington et Bruxelles, qui cherchent à diversifier leurs approvisionnements, largement dominés par la Chine. Mais le géant sud-américain entend imposer ses conditions et ne plus se cantonner à l’extraction.

L’arrestation de cet enfant à Minneapolis a déclenché une vague d’indignation en Équateur, son pays d’origine.

Après la reprise des provinces de Deir ez-Zor, Rakka et Hassaké, les autorités de transition syriennes ont ouvert des centres de réconciliation destinés aux ex-combattants des Forces démocratiques syriennes, dominées par les Kurdes. Dans cette partie de la Syrie sous contrôle kurde, la défection massive des combattants arabes a précipité la chute des FDS.

When it comes to electromagnetic waves, humans can really only directly perceive a very small part of the overall spectrum, which we call “visible light.” [rootkid] recently built an art piece that has perception far outside this range, turning invisible waves into a visible light sculpture.
The core of the device is the HackRF One. It’s a software defined radio (SDR) which can tune signals over a wide range, from 10 MHz all the way up to 6 GHz. [rootkid] decided to use the HackRF to listen in on transmissions on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This frequency range was chosen as this is where a lot of devices in the home tend to communicate—whether over WiFi, Bluetooth, or various other short-range radio...

[Make Something] boasts he has made probably the fanciest picture frame you’ll ever see. He started with an original sign purchased on eBay and then made it to be bigger, brighter, and better. The frame is of solid walnut with back-lighting for the imagery all chasing that classic mid-century modern style. The backlit photo was taken the “hard way”, with an actual film camera and a road-trip to the picturesque site at Yellowstone. [Make Something] then developed the film himself in his home studio.

Baby Nova “Do You Like That, Baby?”
This song is very obviously heavily influenced by Lana Del Rey, but in Baby Nova’s defense, if it actually was a Lana Del Rey song, it’d be among her best. (For real!) And besides that, I’m comfortable with Lana Del Rey being a genre that other artists can work in, in the way that artists like Prince, The Beach Boys, Neil Young, and Joy Division are basically their own genres. “Do You Like That, Baby?” is a song about a very complicated and sexy dude. Baby Nova largely portrays him as a villain. As she puts it, he’s narcissistic, he’s cold, he’s vicious, he’s a cruel man that can’t care less. He’s got some kind of religious thing going on and that...

Every step you take depends on a structure most people rarely think about. The pelvis sits at the center of the body and quietly supports nearly every movement. It holds the spine upright, steadies balance, and allows walking to feel natural. Yet this familiar motion was once anything but ordinary. Over millions of years, the pelvis changed more than any other lower-body bone, helping shape the story of how humans learned to walk on two legs. Scientists have long known that the human pelvis looks nothing like that of other primates. While apes rely on climbing and knuckle-walking, humans move upright with ease. What remained unclear was how evolution carried out such a dramatic redesign. A new study led by...

If you wanted to build a robot that chased light, you might start thinking about Raspberry Pis, cameras, and off-the-shelf computer vision systems. However, it needn’t be so complex. [Ed] of [Death and the Penguin] demonstrates this ably with a simple robot that finds the light the old-fashioned way.
The build is not dissimilar from many line-following and line chasing robots that graced the pages of electronics magazines 50 years ago or more. The basic circuit relies on a pair of light-dependent resistors (LDR), which are wrapped in cardboard tubes to effectively make their response highly directional. An op-amp is used to compare the resistance of each LDR. It then crudely steers the robot towards the...

Soon, we'll see an explosion of new media formats that are more immersive and interactive, and only possible because of advances in AI.

The growth of Windows 11 over the past quarter will be related to Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10, which also helped increase Microsoft's Windows OEM revenues.

It was the starkest example yet of Musk's quest to transform Tesla from an automaker into an AI and robotics leader.

Icy weather can turn routine travel into a high-risk gamble. On roads, ice causes about 20% of weather-related car crashes each year. In the sky, ice buildup contributes to roughly 10% of fatal air carrier crashes by disrupting aerodynamics and flight controls.

In a recent video [QWZ Labs] demonstrates an interesting technique to use 3D printing to make creating custom PCBs rather straightforward even if all you have is a 3D printer and a roll of copper tape.
The PCB itself is designed as usual in KiCad or equivalent EDA program, after which it is exported as a 3D model. This model is then loaded into a CAD program – here Autodesk Fusion – which is used to extrude the traces by 0.6 mm before passing the resulting model to the 3D printer’s slicer.
By extruding the traces, you can subsequently put copper tape onto the printed PCB and use a cutting tool of your choice to trace these raised lines. After removing the rest of the copper foil, you are left with copper...

Opera has always lived at the crossroads of emotion and discipline. A single performance can shape a singer’s future, opening doors or quietly closing them. In competitions, judges listen closely and assign a single overall score that can influence careers for years. Yet what guides that number has long remained uncertain. Many singers train for decades without fully knowing which parts of their voice matter most when experts listen. A new scientific study from Japan offers rare clarity. By carefully analyzing opera performances and the scores judges gave them, researchers uncovered which vocal traits most strongly influence competition results. The findings show that two features rise above the rest:...
