The Apple Watch Series 11 is only a few months old, but it’s already $60 off. If you’re planning to gift an Apple device this holiday season — or treat yourself — now’s the time to start shopping. Black Friday is bleeding into Cyber Monday — and these Apple deals are some of the best we’ve seen all year. Despite having recently launched, for instance, the new AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Series 11, and new M5-powered MacBook Pro are all down to record low prices for the holiday. Last-gen models are also cheaper than ever right now, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is currently $200 off — a welcome discount if you’d rather not splurge for the newer, more expensive Watch Ultra 3, which is a relatively...

If all you want is a way to talk to ChatGPT, you're practically spoiled for choice - there are countless ways to chat with the bots, and seemingly countless new ones every single day. But that's not the whole story of how we'll interact with large language models. It better not be.
Thomas Paul Mann, CEO and cofounder of the app Raycast, has a much bigger vision for what an AI app might do. Raycast is many things: it's an app launcher, it's a way to search and interact with the files on your computer, it's a note-taking app, and, yes, it's yet another way to talk to ChatGPT and other LLMs. Because it has so much access to your data and your …

It’s easy to build big wooden furniture if you have a massive industrial CNC router, but few of us are so lucky. However, you can still build sizable stuff with a smaller router if you know what you’re doing. [Aribabox] shares some useful tricks and techniques for building large workshop cabinets on smaller machines.
The key to doing this well is modularity. [Aribabox] shows off how to build excellent workshop drawers in pieces using a stackable design. Rather than having to cut out one huge side panel to cover the whole stack of drawers, each drawer can have its own side panel that easily fits on a smaller router. They can then be stacked into a stout assembly that still does its job perfectly well....

Neuralink patient Brad Smith uses his webcam connected to his mind-controlled computer to see the world to his left and right. | Photo: Jeven Dovey and Jake Viramontez / Insta360 Brad Smith said his decision to hook up a webcam to the computer he controls with his mind did not make sense to people at Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company. "Neuralink was really confused with the idea," Smith told The Verge. The decision came just six months after Smith's brain was implanted with a BCI in November 2024, making him the third person to receive a Neuralink device. Smith was the first Neuralink patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which has weakened his muscles for the past seven...

The indie web began a few years after the end of GeoCities, which Yahoo shut down in 2009 (at least, in the US - GeoCities Japan managed to hang on until 2019). GeoCities was a free web hosting service that launched in 1994 and once hosted millions of personal HTML websites, from pop culture shrines to teachers' pages for their students (and truly everything in between).

Described by the MPA, Premier League and other rightsholders as a priority piracy threat, a set-top box available to buy right now on popular markets, initially sounds like an attractive buy.
Manufactured in China, EVPAD TV boxes look fairly unremarkable, and with an Android 7.0 operating system under the hood, they are. When purchased with a cheap ‘lifetime’ subscription, with installable apps providing access to all the content most people will ever need, looks become less important. However, a look under the hood reveals that the trade-off between content and privacy cannot be ignored.

By now we’re all familiar with the quad-rotor design most popular among modern drones, and of course there are many variants using more or less propellers and even fixed-wing drones that can fly autonomously. We’ve even seen drones that convert from rotorcraft to fixed-wing mid flight. But there are even more esoteric drones out there that are far more experimental and use even more bizarre wing designs that look like they shouldn’t be able to fly at all. Take [Starsistor]’s latest design, which uses a single motor and an unconventional single off-center wing to generate lift.
This wing, though, is not a traditional foil shape typically found on aircraft. It uses the Magnus effect to generate lift....

Seven-segment displays are one of the most ho-hum ways to display the time. They were cool for a little bit in the 70s, but by now, they’re a little bit old hat. That is, unless you get weird with it. This holographic seven-segment clock from [mosivers] qualifies neatly in that category.
The first step was to make the holographic segment displays, because they’re not really something you can just buy off the shelf. [mosivers] achieved this by using a kit from LitiHolo, which enables you to create holograms by shooting a laser at special holographic film. Only, a few upgrades were made to use the kit with a nicer red diode laser that [mosivers] had on hand for better performance. The seven-segment layouts...

Dans la seconde newsletter d’Apple sur la Pippin, qui date de l’automne 1995, Apple explique que la console utilise de la mémoire SRAM pour son stockage interne. Mais ça m’a étonné, et je suis allé vérifier : c’est bien de la mémoire flash dans la console. La console intègre 128 ko de mémoire interne (1 mégabit). C’est une valeur faible, mais elle a l’avantage d’être non volatile. Si on prend les consoles de l’époque, la PlayStation a des cartes mémoire de la même capacité, la Saturn intègre 32 ko en interne et la Nintendo 64 a des cartes mémoire de 32 ko. Sony utilise de la mémoire flash, les deux autres de la SRAM et c’est un problème. Dans la Saturn, la pile se vide...

En effet, à chaque reboot, les modifications système sont annulées ce qui peut sembler contraignant mais en réalité c’est un avantage énorme pour les benchmarks car l’environnement reste stable et reproductible entre les...

The hoverboard, one of the teen crazes of the last decade, is both a marvel of technology and a source of hacker parts that have appeared in so many projects on these pages. It contains an accelerometer or similar, along with a microcontroller and a pair of motor controllers to drive its in-wheel motors. That recipe is open to interpretation of course and we’ve seen a few in our time, but perhaps not quite like this steampunk design from [Skrubis]. It claims a hoverboard design with no modern electronics, only relays, mercury switches, and neon bulbs.
The idea is that it’s a hoverboard from 1884 using parts available in that era, hence there’s talk of telegraph relays and galvanomic piles. The write-up...

Comme le nucléaire, l’intelligence artificielle a des usages civils bénéfiques. Mais comme l’énergie atomique, l’IA, si elle étend sa puissance au point de devenir une forme de « superintelligence », pourrait finir par être dangereuse pour notre espèce – si elle ne tente pas tout simplement de l'éradiquer. Et si l’on s’inspirait justement du traité de non-prolifération nucléaire signé en 1968 par les grandes puissances pour éviter d’en arriver là et canaliser l’expansion de l’IA ?

There are a few major companies out there building colorful LED panels you can stick on your wall for aesthetic purposes. Most commercial options are pretty expensive, and come with certain limitations in how they can be controlled. [Smart Solutions For Home] has whipped up a flexible DIY design for decorating your walls with light that is altogether more customizable.
In this case, the DIY light panels ape the hexagonal design made popular by brands like Nanoleaf. In this case, each hexagon panel runs an ESP32 microcontroller, which controls a series of WS2812 addressable LEDs. This allows each panel to glow whatever color you like, and they’re arranged in an XY grid to enable you to light individual panels...

Five years ago, YouTube ripper Yout.com sued the RIAA, asking a Connecticut district court to declare that the site does not violate the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provision.
The music group had previously used DMCA takedown notices to remove many of Yout’s links from Google’s search results. This had a significant impact on Yout’s advertising revenues, according to operator Johnathan Nader, who always believed he wasn’t breaking any laws.
In 2022, the district court concluded that Yout had failed to show that it doesn’t circumvent YouTube’s technological protection measures. That rendered Yout’s defamation and business disparagement claims moot, but the legal battle was far from over.
