The former UK prime minister and US secretary of state will sit on the "founding executive board", the White House says.

While Hollywood has repeatedly tried adapting stories from Japanese manga, vanishingly few of them have been as good as Edge of Tomorrow - Warner Bros.' 2014 live-action film based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's sci-fi light novel All You Need Is Kill. Edge of Tomorrow wasn't a one-to-one translation of All You Need Is Kill's original story or its manga adaptation by Takeshi Obata, Ryosuke Takeuchi, and Yoshitoshi Abe. The movie was more militaristic and focused on humanity rallying against an alien invasion.
But Edge of Tomorrow understood that what made its source material so powerful was its imaginative exploration of what it means to be tenaci …

La deuxième ville de France connaît depuis quelques années un renouveau culturel et artistique qui pousse de nombreux créatifs à s’y installer.

Depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir de Javier Milei, il y a deux ans, plus de 280 000 emplois, surtout industriels, ont été détruits. Mais, dans cette économie à deux vitesses, la croissance du PIB – dopée par les exportations de matières premières et les services – dépasse les 4 %.

As masked and armed men in combat armor swarmed throughout the Twin Cities, Gov. Tim Walz took to primetime television to ask Minnesotans to film ICE. The videos, he said, would "create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans - not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."
While the feds besieged hospitals and school bus stops and Targets, Walz imagined a future with something akin to the Nuremberg trials. His speech emphasized the legal system and the ballot box, a promise of peaceful regime change and a process of accountability. And it was as much emotional solace for his constituent …

While playing Big Hops, a new 3D platformer starring an adorable frog, I kept feeling like I was breaking the game - and, like with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, breaking it is kind of the point.
In Big Hops, you play as a frog named Hop. Early on, Hop is taken away from his home, and he works to get back by collecting airship parts from a few different areas, each with its own cute animal characters and storylines. Because he's a frog, the primary way you interact with things is by slinging his tongue. You can use it to grab pots to toss and break them for coins, as a grappling hook to reach new areas, and to snag foods with s …

Solid vacuuming and a handy deep clean module almost make the Omni E28 a solid choice, if not for a noisy dock and mediocre mopping.

During a chaotic multiday event, I found myself working anywhere. And always in a rush. At CES, I did what you're not supposed to do: I brought a pre-production laptop to use as my primary workhorse during a hectic event. The unproven rifle in question is the new Arm-based Asus Zenbook A16. It's a 16-inch laptop that weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air and comes with a high-end Snapdragon X2 processor. Going into CES with a Windows on Arm laptop running an unreleased processor sounds like a recipe for disaster. But to my surprise, aside from pre-production hardware glitches, I came away impressed.
The Zenbook A16 that Asus sent me for early testing has a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme X2E-94-100 chip. It's one...

When we first covered Arnis, it was stuck on the Java edition of Minecraft. But now the project has been updated to support the more modern Bedrock Edition, meaning you can put your home into any device’s version of Minecraft! Beyond Bedrock version support, the actual tool has improved with proper elevation generation using data provided from NASA. This allows you to view the Alps or the Himalayas in all their voxel glory, or...

What’s it like to use a 2002-era Apple eMac all-in-one in 2025? That’s what [MattKC] asked himself after obtaining one of these systems from a seller who ominously mentioned that it had been ‘left outside for years’.
The Apple iMac is a bit of a cult symbol, whether you’re talking about the iconic fruity iMac G3 or the desk lamp-like iMac G4, but few reminisce or actively collect the Apple eMac. Manufactured from 2002 to 2006, it featured the PowerPC 7450 (G4e) CPU with clock speeds ranging from 700 MHz to 1.42 GHz, as well as a 17″ CRT. In terms of design it was basically a bland iMac G3 that was firmly targeting the education...

Quand j’ai parlé d’Asteroids dans la version Macintosh d’Office (2004), j’avais un autre Easter Egg en tête au départ. Mais les explications sur ce vieil Easter Egg n’étaient pas totalement claires. Les vieux sites font référence à Office Manager, mais ce n’est pas un programme très documenté. Après quelques recherches, je suis tombé sur ce que je cherchais : c’est un tableau de bord pour Mac OS qui permet de lancer les applications de Microsoft Office. J’ai d’abord tenté avec la version 9.0, distribuée en ligne en parallèle de Microsoft Office 2001, mais l’Easter Egg n’est dans cette version. Donc je suis passé sur la version de Microsoft Office 98. Elle est sur le CD-ROM...

Recently, [Vinnie] aka [vinthewrench] moved from Oregon to Arkansas to start a farmstead. This is a style of farming that focuses not just on a profitable farm where produce is sold at market, but also on a homestead where much of one’s own food is grown on the farm as well. Like any farm, though, it’s extremely hard work that takes a tremendous amount of time. Automation and other technology can make a huge impact in these situations, and [Vinnie] is rolling out his own software stack to help with this on his farm.
He calls his project the Pi Internet of Things, or PioT, and as its name suggests is based around the Raspberry Pi. Since this will all be outdoors and exposed to the extremes of Arkansas...

Resistance standards are incredibly useful, but like so many precision references they require regular calibration, maintenance and certification to ensure that they stay within their datasheet tolerances. This raises the question of how well a resistance standard from the year 1900 performs after 125 years, without the benefits of modern modern engineering and standards. Cue the [Three-phase] YouTube channel testing a genuine Evershed & Vignoles Ltd one ohm resistance standard from 1900.

There are a few types of continuous 3D printing with FDM printers, with a conveyer belt and automatic build plate swapping the most common types. The advantage of build plate swapping is that it automates the bit where normally a human would have to come in to remove finished parts from the build plate. A recent entry here is the Chitu PlateCycler C1M which the [Aurora Tech] YouTube channel had over for a review. This kit bolts onto the Bambu Lab A1 Mini FDM printer and comes with four extra PEI build plates for a not unreasonable $79 (€69).
As also noted in the review video, this is effectively a clone of the original swapmod A1m kit, but a big difference is that the Chitu kit comes with all of the parts...

“Since 2020, the population of whales has grown by about 7 percent. In 2024, the most recent year for which there is data available, the whale consortium estimated that there were 384 whales, an increase of about 2 percent from the year before. And in 2025, Pettis said, there were zero mortalities of right whales detected. This year’s calving season, which began in November and runs through April, has brought more promising news. So far, 18 new calves have been spotted, including one on New Year’s Day.

“In 2011, mammoth ivory hunters in northeastern Siberia discovered a mummified wolf puppy that had lain frozen for 14,400 years. An autopsy of the permafrost-preserved pup revealed another surprise: its gut contained chunks of grayish meat covered with strands of golden hair. ‘The tissue was so intact, it looked like the wolf had just swallowed it before it died,’ says Camilo Chacón-Duque, an evolutionary geneticist who previously worked at the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Stockholm and is now at Uppsala University in Sweden.  Ancient DNA retrieved from the wolf cub’s final meal revealed the tissue belonged to a woolly rhinoceros. Chacón-Duque and his team used the devoured morsel to reconstruct the...

Half of those interviewed had seen them daily.” From BBC.

"We wanted something that we could tear into pieces," Graci says. This led them to a dated two-bedroom railroad apartment in a pre-war building in Bed-Stuy. It became an exercise in updating a fairly typical plan into something more livable and distinct for about $175 per square foot. In the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn, Graci Mills, an architect and...
