Windows users will no longer be forced to run automatic updates in the middle of a game or a busy day. Microsoft is rolling out some long-awaited changes to Windows Update to users on its Dev and Experimental Windows Insider channels, including the ability to indefinitely delay updates up to 35 days at a time. Last month, Microsoft announced a slew of upcoming changes to improve Windows 11 and address some of users' most common complaints about the platform. Chief among the company's planned fixes was making updates less disruptive. In its blog post on Friday, Microsoft says you'll be able to "extend the pause end date as many times as you …

Alex Jones is onto something. | Photo by Joe Buglewicz / Getty Images Alex Jones may soon lose Infowars, the digital perch that he's used for decades to traffic in conspiracy theories, to The Onion, the satirical newspaper. But not before he's uncovered something truly dastardly: comedian Tim Heidecker's past (publicly available) work.
"The Onion newspaper has been rocked by the discovery that their new creative director, produced pro pedo/child kidnapping, torture and murder programs," Jones wrote on X on Friday. "Below is an actual mug shot of the creep.." he continued. Included in the post is a fake mugshot of Heidecker taken from a 2017 Adult Swim courtroom series, in which he's standing trial for 20 coun...

Many HVAC systems in North America operate off 24V systems, which can be readily upgraded with off-the-shelf  smart thermostats quite easily. However, there are many people living in buildings with 120-volt fan coil units who aren’t so lucky. [mackswan] is one such individual, who set about building a smart thermostat to work in these situations.
The build is based around an ESP32 running ESPHome firmware. It rocks a 2.42″ OLED screen with automatic brightness adjustment for showing temperature and control parameters. There’s a rotary encoder on the front with an integrated button for control, with [mackswan] building the physical device to look as clean and neat as possible. The device uses a relay to...

Following Paramount Skydance's move to launch an investigation into how its upcoming Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender animated feature leaked onto the internet, a suspect has been taken into custody by police.
The Straits Times reports Singaporean police have arrested a 26-year-old man who is alleged to have uploaded the new Avatar movie (previously titled The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender) online after accessing a server where the project was being held ahead of its scheduled October 9th premiere on Paramount Plus.

As we learn more about all the nasty stuff floating in the air, it becomes more compelling to monitor the air for pollution levels. [Aleksei Tertychnyi] does just that with pollutagNode2, a solar-powered pollution sensor.
The device uses a Seeed Studio Wia-E5 module for its built-in LoRa low power long-range communication capabilities. Pair that with a cheap 2 watt solar panel and a Li-ion battery, and you have a monitoring device that can stay up indefinitely — or until harsh weather gets the better of it. Even if the solar panel were to be omitted, a full charge would last you about two weeks!
It comes on an open-hardware PCB; no need for giant wire messes, just solder the solar panel, battery, sensor, and...

“A powerful light source bigger than a London double-decker bus has set a record: it can create structures on a silicon wafer that are just 8 nanometres (nm) wide. Those are thought to be the smallest ever made in a single step by a commericial chip-patterning system. According to the system’s manufacturer, it could be used to make computer chips patterned with 2.9 times more transistors than chips produced with the previous generation of the light sources used for this purpose.” From Nature.

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first-ever gene therapy for inherited deafness. The therapy, called Otarmeni, is approved to treat a form of hearing loss caused by mutations in the OTOF gene, which codes for a protein called otoferlin. Cells in the inner ear need otoferlin to translate vibrations into signals that can be interpreted by the brain. When people carry two defective copies of the OTOF gene — one from each parent — this line of communication between the inner ear and brain is cut, resulting in severe-to-profound hearing loss. Otarmeni is a one-time treatment that uses harmless viruses to deliver working copies of OTOF into the ear. In a trial including 20...

“Forty years after China launched the ‘Wild Horse Return Program.’ the Przewalski’s horse — the world’s only surviving wild horse species — has completed a historic transition from being on the brink of extinction to there being self-sustaining wild herds in Northwest China.

“The largest genomic study of African elephants to date has found that both species – savanna and forest elephants – remain in generally good genetic health despite long-term numerical declines, though some isolated populations are showing worrisome signs of inbreeding and deleterious mutations. Researchers analyzed the genetic health of African elephants – Earth’s largest land animals – by looking at genome data for 181 savanna elephants and 51 forest elephants from 29 locations across 17 countries. Their genetic health was found to be positive overall because many populations, particularly in a broad swathe of southern Africa, can still roam across large distances and exchange genes. Signs of...

If you have a desktop 3D printer, you probably want something to hang filament spools on. [LVTRC] has a spool roller that fits the bill. It also incorporates a scale and a round touch screen. (Google Translate)
We’ve seen those round screens before, and now we wonder why we didn’t think of this. The GC9A01 display shows a progress ring and lets you save settings or calibrations to EEPROM. An Arduino Nano provides the brain, and the load cell connects to an HX711. The project is made to fit a specific printer, but it should be little trouble to adapt it to a different printer or to mount it in an external mount.
One of the calibration steps, of course, is to program the weight of an empty spool to subtract...

Launched in 2015, Zoowoman was a popular Spanish non-commercial film repository. The site did not store any movies, but it hosted links to approximately 11,000 titles before it was shut down.
The site was purportedly operated by a group of people, including film enthusiast “El Feo,” who is also the creator of La Filmoteca Maldita, a YouTube channel with over 400,000 subscribers dedicated to film analysis and criticism.
El Feo told TorrentFreak that the site focused specifically on films that were out of circulation commercially, discontinued, or otherwise difficult to access through normal channels. As such, the project was recognized for its uniqueness and reportedly used as a teaching resource by several...

The author of the BlueHammer exploit, which was released earlier this month and addressed in the last Patch Tuesday, continues to be annoyed with the responses from the Microsoft security research and vulnerability response team, and has released another Windows zero-day attack against Windows Defender.
The RedSun exploit targets a logic and timing error in Windows Defender, convincing it to install the target file in the system, instead of quarantining the file and protecting the system. Not, generally, what you would hope would happen.
Since the RedSun attack requires local access in the first place, it seems unlikely Microsoft will release an out-of-sequence patch for it, however with public code...

They combined $206,000 and sweat equity to create a 950-square-foot ADU behind the duplex they already owned.One of the things Chelsea Lipham cherished about her home in Portland, Maine, was how beautiful its tree-filled lot was. What she didn’t care for, however, was the cramped interior of her 100-year-old duplex. "I was feeling kind of claustrophobic," says Chelsea, who is a registered architect. She imagined an open, airy space with better views of the canopy around her—something that was more like the cabin in the woods she grew up in.  In Portland, Maine, architect Chelsea Lipham designed and built a 950-square-foot ADU where she, her husband, and five-year-old son live. By keeping the ADU’s...

Vous connaissez probablement Wild Gunman sur NES, ce petit jeu de tir au Zapper avec des cowboys pixellisés. Mais la version originale, c'est autre chose. En 1974, Nintendo sort une borne d'arcade imaginée par Gunpei Yokoi lui-même, avant qu'il ne devienne la légende derrière la Game Boy.
Au lieu de sprites, le jeu projette directement à l'écran du vrai film 16mm de cowboys qui dégainent. Le joueur sort un pistolet d'un étui physique au flash lumineux, et doit tirer avant l'adversaire. On est là sur un truc mi-électronique mi-mécanique, avec un projecteur pour assurer la diffusion de l'image. Une seule borne originale survivrait encore aujourd'hui, entre les mains d'un collectionneur privé. Trop...

Le sergent-chef Gannon Van Dyke, 38 ans, stationné à Fort Bragg, a été arrêté et inculpé pour avoir empoché quelques 410 000 dollars de gains sur Polymarket en misant sur la chute de Nicolás Maduro, alors même qu'il participait à l'opération qui l'a capturé.
L'information vient du département de la Justice américain, relayée hier par CNN. Le procureur Jay Clayton, qui pilote le dossier à New York, a déclaré que ceux à qui on confie les secrets de la nation ont le devoir de les protéger.
