Joshua Idehen “You Wanna Dance or What?”
“You Wanna Dance or What?” dramatizes a scene at a dance club. The music starts out blaring a soul sample from a Tommy McGee record sped up and sliced into a new riff. The beat shifts and Joshua Idehen is suddenly lost in thought, wondering why he’s in his head rather than feeling present in the party. Then he’s outside the club, and the music recedes into the background. A man notices him, truly sees him in this moment, and tells him “There is so much darkness in this world, but not in this room, and not between us.” This encounter and that line in particular is the conceptual through line of Idehen’s new record I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is...

Breathing can feel normal for weeks, then suddenly turn into a race for air. That uncertainty is one of the hardest parts of living with asthma. Even when symptoms seem quiet, an attack can still arrive fast, sending you to urgent care or worse. A new study from researchers at Mass General Brigham and Karolinska Institutet suggests doctors may be closer to predicting those dangerous flare-ups before they happen. The research points to a blood-based signal that forecasted future asthma exacerbations with high accuracy, and sometimes separated high- and low-risk groups by almost a year in the timing of a first attack. Asthma ranks among the most common chronic diseases worldwide and affects more than 500 million...

Old-school diving helmets are deceivingly simple, even if they are – as [Hyperspace Pirate] puts it in a recent video – essentially the equivalent of an upside-down bucket with an air hose supplying air into it. While working on a 3D-printed diving helmet, he therefore made sure to run through all the requisite calculations prior to testing out said diving helmet in his pool.
The 3D model for the diving helmet can be found over at Thingiverse if you too feel like getting wet, just make sure that you size it to fit your own head. In the video CAD (cardboard-aided design) was used to determine the rough bounding box for the head, but everyone’s head is of course different. The helmet was printed in ABS,...

The folding iPhone might come with an inner display the size of an iPad Mini, according to Bloomberg. Apple's rumored foldable iPhone will come with an iPad-style interface that will allow users to view apps side-by-side, according to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman also reports that the outer display will be around the size of a small iPhone. The inner display will reportedly come with a wider aspect ratio, similar to Google's first-generation Pixel Fold, but not foldable flagships currently on the market, like the Pixel Fold 10 or Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Though the updated layout could make multitasking easier, Gurman reports that the folding iPhone won't run existing iPad apps. Still, Apple is...

Humble has teamed up with Frictional Games for a new bundle of PC games that pushed the horror genre forward. The bundle includes the Penumbra Collectors Pack, all four Amnesia titles (The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, The Bunker, and Rebirth), and Soma, which I consider to be its opus in terms of visual aesthetics. All six games are $15 each and redeemable on Steam (buying the same set on Steam would currently cost you $78). Some of the titles work on Mac and Linux, too, and all are at least playable on the Steam Deck.

Valve wants players to know that it plans on fighting New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit, which last month accused the company of promoting "illegal gambling" through its in-game loot boxes. In an email sent to Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 players in New York, Valve says it's "disappointed" in the lawsuit's claims, arguing that mystery boxes are "widely used" across other games and also exist in the physical world with baseball cards, Pokémon, and Labubu.
Since 2023, Valve says it has worked with the AGs to explain how its virtual items and mystery boxes work. It argues that players "don't have to open mystery …

The Electronic Dolphin is a small robot developed by engineers from RMIT University in Australia to test an innovative method for cleaning oil spills from the ocean. It is a remote-controlled mini-robot that uses a pump inside its body to suck up a thin, rainbow-colored layer of oily water as it glides along the surface of a tank. The water behind the robot returns to its original clarity. Dr. Ataur Rahman, an engineer at RMIT University, explains that traditional methods of cleaning up oil spills involve the use of chemical dispersants, large vessels that skim the water, or absorbent materials. These approaches usually require large amounts of power to operate and can have their own environmental impacts. Dr....

Cycloidal drives are a type of speed reducer that are significantly more compact than gearboxes, but they still come with a fair number of components. In comparison, the harmonic pin-ring drive that [Raph] recently came across as used in some TQ electric bicycles manages to significantly reduce the number of parts to just two discs. Naturally he had to 3D model his own version for printing a physical model to play with.
How exactly this pin-ring cycloidal drive works is explained well in the referenced [Pinkbike] article. Traditional cycloidal drives use load pins that help deal with the rather wobbly rotation from the eccentric input, but this makes for bulkier package that’s harder to shrink down. The...

Instead of moving forward with a jury trial against Live Nation-Ticketmaster as expected, the Justice Department announced a settlement Monday that omitted what used to be on the top of its wish list: a breakup. What the DOJ did get was a series of concessions that some industry stakeholders found unsatisfying and even baffling. There are a few bright spots, those who spoke to The Verge said: a 15 percent cap on Ticketmaster service fees at Live Nation-owned or operated amphitheaters, for instance, and a pledge to give artists more transparency on their own ticket sales. But they remained unconvinced the deal would usher in the large-scale …

Ce film, quelle déception, à la mesure des attentes. Des images de défilés militaires, de répressions, de bombardements, certaines déjà vues mille fois, de discours de dirigeants actuels (Poutine, Trump, Nétanyahou), entrelardées d’extraits des diverses versions cinématographiques de 1984, et d’évocations de la vie de George Orwell, le tout sous une voix off assez désagréable et moralisante déclamant du Orwell. Cette bouillie d’images toutes mises sur le même plan est assez indigeste. Lisez plutôt Orwell, en particulier 1984 et Hommage à la Catalogne, cela sera bien mieux.

There was an ideal of convergence, a long time ago, when one device would be all you need, digitally speaking. [ETA Prime] on YouTube seems to think we’ve reached that point, and his recent video about the Samsung S26 Ultra makes a good case for it. Part of that is software: Samsung’s DeX is a huge enabler for this use case. Part of that his hardware: the S26 Ultra, as the upcoming latest-and-greatest flagship phone, has absurd stats and a price tag to match.
First, it’s got 12 GB of that unobtanium once called “RAM”. It’s got an 8-core ARM processor in its Snapdragon Elite SOC, with the two performance cores clocked at 4.74 GHz — which isn’t a world record, but it’s pretty snappy. The other...

Video calls promise connection. They place coworkers face to face across cities and continents with a single click. Yet the same technology that keeps remote teams linked can quietly reshape how leadership works, sometimes in ways managers did not expect. A new study from the University of Eastern Finland examined how video platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom influence leadership in remote workplaces. Interviews with 33 senior managers from large IT companies revealed a consistent pattern. Video technology helps leaders coordinate work and communicate information. At the same time, it creates new tensions in how teams interact and make decisions. “Our study offers concrete recommendations for managers...

With the increasing use of smartphones in society, many individuals have taken the opportunity to utilize their smartphones while using the restroom. What once may have been an opportunity for only a quick visit to the bathroom can quickly become an extended period of time spent looking at a smartphone. A small clinical study has shown that this habit may lead to an unexpected consequence for health. Those who reported using a smartphone while sitting on the toilet were more likely to develop hemorrhoids than those who did not use their smartphones. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the rectum or anal region. They can cause a person to experience pain and/or bleeding. In fact, hemorrhoids are among the...

Sunday night, around 7:00 PM local time, a bright fireball streaked across the western German sky, exploded, and rained chunks of space rock down on the region around Koblenz. One of the largest known chunks put a soccer-ball-sized hole in someone’s roof, landing in their bedroom. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. But given the apparent size of the explosion, there must be many more pieces out there for the finding, and a wave of hopeful meteorite hunters has descended upon the region.
But if you wanted a piece of the action, where exactly would you start looking? How do scientists find meteorites anyway? And what should you do if you happen to see a similar fireball in the night sky?
