Elon Musk is the one who wanted this trial. He has spent months claiming OpenAI "stole a nonprofit," and saying he was the actual driving force behind one of the most important companies currently in tech. All indications are that he won't win his case against the company, but he's fighting it anyway. So you'd think he'd have done better when it was his time to take the stand.

I haven't quite figured out the reason why, but for the last few years, summer has become the moment for new science fiction shows on streaming services. And 2026 isn't any different - aside from the fact that premiere dates seem to be moving up a little.
This year, the release schedule is nearly as full in the spring as it is in the summer, which should make it easier to check out everything you want to without having storylines overlap in your brain. In fact, a number of these shows are already streaming now: The alternate future of For All Mankind is currently in the midst of its penultimate season, as is the horror mystery box From. But …

In the beginning, platforms like Fiverr were places where people could hire freelancers to do specialized creative labor using skills that took years to develop. In the age of generative AI, though, many of these gig workers have embraced the technology in order to meet clients' demands. These workers' profiles emphasize that they can quickly (and cheaply) whip up images and videos of just about anything. But often, what their clients are looking for are dramatic animations inspired by the Christian Bible.
On TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook it is very easy to stumble across AI-generated clips that retell stories from the Bible. Lik …

Developers drove the AI boom. Now their heavy usage is pushing companies to rethink how they charge

Le succès du biopic musical consacré à Michael Jackson semble confirmer une réalité frappante : les questions d’objectivité, d’intégrité et de véracité des faits importent peu au public, pour qui, d’après le quotidien britannique “The Guardian”, il est normal qu’une pop star soigne sa propre image et la monétise sans scrupule.

Here’s an example of what the new Hormonal Birth Control support will look like when it rolls out on May 6th. | Image: Oura Oura is launching a new reproductive health feature that takes hormonal contraception into consideration when tracking period cycles. The smart ring maker describes the Hormonal Birth Control update as a "first-of-its-kind experience" inside Oura's existing Cycle Insights feature, allowing users to see how over 20 combinations of hormonal birth control methods - including pills, patches, IUDs, and implants - can affect their overall biometric data.
The feature will begin rolling out globally on May 6th. It's designed to show the impact that hormonal contraception may have on temperature...

Edward Juul Roed-Larsen, fils des anciens diplomates norvégiens de haut rang Terje Roed-Larsen et Mona Juul, s’est suicidé à l’âge de 25 ans. Leurs avocats, qui ont annoncé la nouvelle le 30 avril, ont mis ce geste sur le compte de la pression médiatique pesant sur le couple, inculpé pour corruption dans le cadre de sa proximité avec le pédocriminel Jeffrey Epstein. À Oslo, les médias oscillent entre gêne, prudence et autocritique.

Earth’s story may have hardened into place almost as soon as the Solar System began. That is the striking claim in new research tracing when the young planet locked in the chemical makeup that still defines it. According to the analysis, proto-Earth appears to have reached that point no later than about 3 million years after the first solids formed in the Solar System, an eye blink in planetary terms. Yet that early world was probably nothing like the one you know now. It was likely dry, depleted in volatile elements, and missing much of what life would later need. The work points to a two-stage history. First came a fast chemical settling of the material that built Earth’s main body. Much later, a giant...

Links between piracy and organized crime have been around for several decades. The framing first emerged in the late 1990s, when the IFPI raised concerns about transborder smuggling of pirated CDs by criminal networks. Back then, most piracy took place offline. A terrorism angle was added to the mix in 2003, when the U.S. House held a hearing on piracy’s “links to organized crime and terrorism.” Four months later, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble told Congress that intellectual property crime had become “the preferred method of funding for a number of terrorist groups.”
In December that year, the messaging made it into a new campaign by the UK anti-piracy group FACT, warning moviegoers that...

À moins d’un mois et demi du début de la Coupe du monde de football, un incident diplomatique causé par la tentative manquée du président de la Fifa, réunie en congrès à Vancouver jeudi 30 avril, de provoquer une poignée de main entre deux dirigeants sportifs israélien et palestinien, a éclipsé les informations majeures de la soirée : la confirmation de la participation de l’Iran… et la candidature de Gianni Infantino pour un troisième mandat.

Since Sony’s PlayStation 5 console is quite literally an AMD-based gaming PC with a custom mainboard, the only thing that really keeps anyone from just installing another operating system on it is the hypervisor-based firmware. Since in older firmware for the original ‘phat’ PlayStation 5 there exists a hypervisor exploit, this logically means that you can totally run Linux on them, as demonstrated by [Andy Nguyen] with the PS5-linux project on GitHub.
PS5 firmware version 5.x from 2022 seems to have at least partially addressed this particular vulnerability, so this leaves firmware versions 3.x and 4.x supported by PS5-linux for now. Firmware versions 1.x and 2.x also have this vulnerability, but [Andy]...

Here at Hackaday we cover the world of retrocomputing, which means that we see all manner of older computers in our everyday work. We might even claim that we’ve seen them all, were it not that every now and then something comes along which surprises us. [Tynemouth Software] has done just that, with an unexpected Commodore. It’s a Commodore 4064, something that was new to us, but which is best described as a Commodore 64 in a PET case. He’s bringing this one back to life.
For those with weak early-Commodore-fu, maybe it’s worth a quick recap. The PET was Commodore’s big hit from the late 1970s, and it took the form of an all-in-one machine with a CRT display built in. They packed a 6502, BASIC,...

Il y a une douzaine d’année, en 2014, SteelSeries lançait la première manette compatible MFi sans fil, pour les iPhone sous iOS 7.

Le 21 avril 2026, l'assemblée plénière de la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE) se prononce dans le cadre d'un recours en manquement dirigé contre la Hongrie. Est en cause la loi modificative n° LXXIX de 2021, présentée comme introduisant “des mesures plus sévères à l'encontre des délinquants pédophiles et modifiant certaines lois en vue de protéger les enfants”. Si son intitulé suggère un objectif légitime, le dispositif révèle une portée contestée. Sous couvert de la protection des mineurs, cette loi porte en effet atteinte à plusieurs droits garantis par la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne et méconnaît les valeurs consacrées à l'article 2 du...

Before Linux, there was Unix. It was great, but it was and has been plagued by problems with licensing and proprietary competition. [Vintage Appartus] recalls, for example, the AT&T Unix PC from the 1980s. It was awesome, but you’ve probably never heard of it. For 1985, it was a nice setup. You got a 10 MHz Motorola 68010, 512K of RAM (but upgradable to 4M), a floppy, a modem, a 720×384 monochrome screen, and a 10 or 20 MB hard drive. You can check out the video explaining the machine and its problems below.

Normally, when you design an electronic gadget, you worry about how hot it will get. Automotive-grade components, for example, often have higher allowable temperatures than commercial parts. However, extremely cold environments, such as deep space or the interiors of quantum computers, are also challenging. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology believe gallium oxide may be key to operating near absolute zero.
According to [Vishal Khandelwal], one of the researchers, most conventional electronics fail below -173C or 100K. Quantum computers routinely operate at 4K. However, β-Ga2O3 is a wide-bandgap semiconductor that has low current leakage and works at high temperatures up to 500C....

Piri “Cosuluvme”
“Cosuluvme” is Piri’s solo debut – as in, she’s singing, she’s writing, she’s producing, it’s all her. The lyrics basically explain how Piri & Tommy broke up, or more specifically, how they broke up as a couple and then as a band. There are some harsh lines directed towards Tommy (“he’s a baby boy, very young for 26”) but it’s not a bitter or mean spirited song. She mostly sounds frustrated with herself for trying to hold on to the relationship for longer than she should have, and eager to move on. And while he certainly added a touch of vaguely jazzy elegance to their songs together, she’s clearly well-equipped to carry on without him. Buy it from Amazon.

L’architecture du conflit était jusqu’ici un système à une seule interface critique. Elle devient un système à deux interfaces, dont une est hors de portée de la puissance navale...

Light does not usually surprise people. It travels, it reflects, it bends. In labs, researchers can twist it into more exotic forms, but that has often required special surfaces, unusual materials, or intense focusing with powerful optics. This time, the surprise came from free space itself. Scientists at the University of East Anglia, working with colleagues in South Africa, report that light can develop a kind of handedness as it moves through empty space, without mirrors, materials, or special lenses shaping it along the way. The work, published in Light: Science & Applications, points to a new way of controlling light by using its internal geometry. That matters because handedness, also called chirality,...

Back when phones used to ship with chargers in the box, you’d get a plugpack that could charge one device. Aftermarket manufacturers eventually started making chargers with four or five ports which were great for travelling. But what if you wanted to charge even more devices? You might build something like this rig from [DENKI OTAKU].
The goal was to build a charger that could handle 100 devices at once. The charger is designed to charge devices at up to 1.5 amps. That’s no mean feat, as the device would have to be able to deliver 150 amps total when fully loaded. As for the actual design, though, it’s relatively simple. [DENKI OTAKU] simply built a simple USB-C charger PCB based around an off-the-shelf...
