Using OpenClaw with Claude AI is about to get a lot more expensive, thanks to Anthropic's new policy changes. Beginning April 4th at 3PM ET, users will "no longer be able to use your Claude subscription limits for third-party harnesses including OpenClaw," according to an email sent to users on Friday evening. Instead, if users want to use OpenClaw with Claude, they'll have to use a "pay-as-you-go option" that will be billed separate from their Claude subscription. With OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger now employed by OpenAI, Anthropic may also be encouraging subscribers to use more of its own tools, like Claude Cowork, instead. Steinber …

Today, fireplaces, their cozy glow once a household staple, are mostly a thing of the past. In fact, a decent amount of old fireplaces are completely blocked up! [David Capper] brings back the atmosphere without the actual flames, with his RP2040-based fireplace glow simulator.
It’s not just a string of LEDs with some PWM brightness control, either. No, [David] goes into detail about the black body radiation that gives these fires their colors. He then uses the theory of black-body radiation to determine the colors that the LEDs glow to simulate the colors of a real fire.
But the colors alone don’t make for a good simulated fire, so [David] adds the heat equation. It starts with a grid wherein each cell...

In a conversation captured in NASA's Artemis livestream and shared on Bluesky, Wiseman reported to Mission Control: "I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working." To take care of the issue, Mission Control had to remotely access Wiseman's personal computing device (PCD), a Microsoft Surface Pro.

Before there was pressure-treated wood, before modern paints, there was pine tar. Everything from tool handles to wagons to ships were made of wood preserved with pine tar, once upon a time, and [woodbrew] wants to show you how to make it, how to use it, and why you might put it on your skin.
It starts with, you guessed it, pine! In the first part of the video, [woodbrew] creates a skin salve with pine resin and food-safe oil. The pine resin–which is the sticky goop that dries around wounds on evergreen trees–is highly antiseptic and has been used in wound salves since the stone age. The process is easy: melt it in a double boiler, then mix with equal parts oil. [woodbrew] also adds a touch of beeswax to...

The Legion Go 2’s mouse mode, unique among Windows handhelds. | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Remember when we thought the Legion Go 2 was expensive at $1,099 and up? Those were the days - Best Buy is now listing Lenovo's handheld for $1,499 with a Ryzen Z2 or $1,999 with a Z2 Extreme. The latter originally cost $1,349, so that's a $650 jump in just six months.
And yes, that means Lenovo's flagship may now cost twice as much as a $999 Microsoft/Asus Xbox Ally X with the same AMD chip, as much as a far more powerful GPD Win 5 with AMD Strix Halo cost last year. But the way things are going, it's probably only a matter of time till Microsoft hikes its handheld Xbox price too. (For now, Asus rep...

The Sinclair ZX81 was hardly the most accomplished of 1980s 8-bit microcomputers, but its ultra-low-budget hardware was certainly pressed into service for some impressive work. Perhaps the most legendary piece of commercial software in this vein was 1K Chess, which packed an entire chess engine into the user-available bytes in the unexpanded 1K ZX’s memory map. [MarquisdeGeek] has taken this vintage piece of code in 2026 and subjected it to a thorough analysis, finding all the tricks along the way.
Though hackers have since found ways to trick the ’81 into displaying bitmap graphics, using it as intended is text-only with some limited block graphics. The chess board then is text-only, and its illusion of...

Summary: Many people today feel that life in New York has become uniquely difficult. Some imagine that the city was cleaner, safer, and more livable in the distant past. Historical reality tells a different story: Preindustrial New York was marked by extreme filth, unsafe water, rampant disease, pervasive poverty, and living conditions that made everyday life harsh and dangerous compared to contemporary times. Discontent fueled the 2025 New York City mayoral election and Zohran Mamdani’s victory. A common theme echoed across the five boroughs: New York is a hard place to live. “We are overwhelmed by housing costs,” said Santiago, a 69-year-old retiree, outside a Mamdani rally. Those opposed to Mamdani...

“Since their peak less than three years ago, opioid overdose deaths dropped nearly by half as of October, according to a Stateline analysis. The drop comes as a shrinking fentanyl supply has made the drug weaker and less deadly and volunteer efforts get more people into treatment. The weaker fentanyl tracks to a crackdown on materials used to make fentanyl in China around the time U.S. deaths started dropping in 2023. Some experts see it as a welcome, but possibly temporary, break for states in a scourge that boosted crime as people who are using the drugs sometimes fall into homelessness and steal to support fentanyl habits. The numbers and rates of opioid overdose deaths fell for all races between 2023 and...

“The growth of health care spending in the United States seems to have permanently slowed thanks in part to technological advances making medical treatments cheaper and more effective, according to a paper discussed at the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA) conference on March 27. The United States spent more than $5 trillion on medical care in 2024, or 18% of its gross domestic product (GDP). That’s up a bit from 17.2% of GDP in 2010, but far below the 21.2% share of GDP—nearly $1 trillion less—forecast by government actuaries in 2010.” From Brookings.

“Now researchers at Stanford Medicine and the University of Colorado, Boulder, have found that a metabolite that spikes a thousandfold in pythons after a large meal causes obese laboratory mice to shun their food pellets and lose weight — mimicking the effect of semaglutide drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy. Although it’s too soon to tell whether this metabolite, called pTOS, will translate to a new weight loss drug in humans, the study solidifies the power of studying extremes in the animal kingdom. Reptiles have repeatedly gifted humans with clinically significant drugs. Snake venom is chockful of biologically active compounds that have been developed into blood pressure medications and anticoagulants....

Rostam “Like A Spark”
“Like A Spark” feels loose and wide open from the start, with Rostam’s gentle strumming offset by a meandering lead played on acoustic guitar. It sounds like the two parts are wandering in the same general direction, in conversation but not necessarily locked together. It’s a lovely illustration of Rostam’s lyrical sentiment about loving someone without wanting to possess them. His guitar part is structured but easygoing, providing some space for the noodling lead to do its own thing without necessarily containing it. His voice is soft and relaxed, conveying gratitude, appreciation, and generosity. He sings “I only ever wanted you to feel freed of it” in the chorus, but...

A fun part of retro computing is saving ‘e-waste’ that was headed for certain destruction. These boards can have any number of defects, modifications and more that have to be remedied prior to using them. In the case of the Asus P5A-B Socket 7 mainboard that [Bits und Bolts] rescued from the scrapheap at least one issue was obvious: someone had ripped off the plastic part of the ZIF socket, leaving only the metal pins poking out like an awkward kind of LGA socket.
In addition to the busted PGA ZIF socket there was additional damage, including a broken SMT capacitor and missing resistor. Interestingly, someone had apparently modded the ATX power connector to permanently power on the system by removing a pin...

YouTube downloaders and other nifty tools are seen as a major piracy threat by the music industry. To curb this trend, music companies have taken legal action against various stream-ripping services. This includes Yout.com, which is operated by the American developer Johnathan Nader.
Nader is not easily defeated, however. In 2020 he took the RIAA to court in an attempt to have the site declared legal.
Appeal Pending
At the end of 2022, the district court handed a win to the RIAA and dismissed the matter at an early stage. Judge Stefan Underhill concluded that Yout had failed to show that it doesn’t circumvent YouTube’s technological protection measures. As such, it could be breaking the law. That wasn’t...

La fondation Raspberry Pi vient d'annoncer une nouvelle version du Pi 4 avec 3 Go de RAM, vendue 83,75 dollars (environ 100 euros). Mais derrière cette annonce se cache une mauvaise nouvelle : les prix de toute la gamme augmentent à cause de la flambée de la mémoire.
