Department of Homeland Security. | Image: The Verge A bipartisan duo is pushing back on President Donald Trump's attempts to end a program that lets hundreds of thousands of foreign students work in the US for a year after graduation. Reps. Sam Liccardo (D-CA) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA) introduced a bill that would codify Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows international students to work in their field of study for 12 months, with extensions of up to 24 months for STEM students. OPT was introduced in 1992 and functions as a sort of bridge between student visas, or F-1s, and H-1Bs, the visa category issued to foreign nationals who work for US companies. But OPT is now under threat …

[Jakub] is a musician, and found himself in need of a simple way to trigger samples via MIDI when on stage. So many commercial solutions exist, but most were overkill for the job or too messy and complicated to justify their use in a live environment. Thus, [Jakub] worked up Samplotron to do exactly the job needed with a minimum of fuss.
The project is based around the ESP32. It’s effectively a lightweight hardware sampler that can trigger sounds on command via MIDI. Sample data is loaded from an SD card, which also stores the device configuration. The Samplotron plays back mono 16-bit WAV files at 44,100 Hz, delivering audio via an ES8388 audio codec module connected via I2S. Two encoders are used to...

Le Portugal est devenu l'une des destinations les plus attractives d'Europe, et plus particulièrement depuis le début des années 2010, synonymes de relance économique après la crise financière de 2008 qui avait fortement touché le pays. Son climat, son coût de la vie relativement faible et ses politiques favorables aux investisseurs et aux expatriés ont attiré des milliers d'étrangers. Cependant, ce succès s'accompagne d'un phénomène de plus en plus préoccupant : une crise du logement qui touche particulièrement les grandes villes comme Lisbonne et Porto. Cette situation illustre les tensions qui peuvent émerger entre attractivité économique, mobilité européenne et protection des...

LEGO SMART brick from its side. (Credit: EvilmonkeyzDesignz, YouTube)
At the beginning of March this year LEGO released their new SMART brick, which looks like a 2×4 stud brick and is filled to the brim with sensors, LEDs, NFC and Bluetooth functionality, as well as a purported custom ASIC. The central idea behind it appears to be to add a lot of interactivity to LEGO builds while allowing for mesh-style communication with other SMART bricks. Naturally, this makes it a great subject for a teardown, which is what [EvilmonkeyzDesignz] over on YouTube did in a recent video.
Normally the only way you can purchase one of these new bricks is by buying them as part of a ‘Smart Play’ set, but someone was selling...

If you’re working with surface mount components, you’re likely going to want a reflow plate at some point. [Vitaly] was in need of just such a tool, and thus whipped up a compact reflow plate that is conveniently powered via USB-C. 
This reflow rig is designed for smaller work, with a working area of 80 mm x 70 mm. There are two options for the heating element—either a metal core PCB-based heater, or a metal ceramic heater. The former is good for working with Sn42Bi58 solder paste at 138 C, according to [Vitaly], while the latter will happily handle Sn63Pb37 at 183 C if the dirty stuff is more your jam. Running the show is an ESP32-C3-WROOM, which serves up a web-based control panel over Bluetooth for...

Devices that were limited to only run a web browser were relatively common around 2000, as many people wanted to surf the Information Super Highway, but didn’t quite want to get a regular PC — being in many ways the retro equivalent of a Chromebook. The Compaq iPAQ IA-2 from 2000 that [Dave Luna] got is no exception, with a Microsoft CE-based OS that is meant to be used with Microsoft Network (MSN) dial-up, which amusingly is still available today. In order to get a more useful OS on it, like Windows 98, you have to jump through quite a few hoops, as [Dave] found out. Although there is an IDE connection on the mainboard, this cannot be booted from, likely due to BIOS limitations. This means that he had to...

Unlike information obtained from cellphone providers, this data can be accessed without a warrant - and used to track anyone. "We do purchase commercially available information that's consistent with the Constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us," Patel said at a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.

Amazon is going on the defensive after a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that the e-commerce giant plans to slash shipments with the United States Postal Service, which said this week that it's running out of money. In a lengthy statement published on Wednesday, Amazon says it didn't want to reduce shipments with the USPS, and that negotiations only stalled after the USPS "abruptly walked away" from negotiations for a new contract.
As reported by the WSJ, Amazon plans to cut packages sent through the USPS by at least two-thirds by this fall, around the same time its contract with the independent federal agency is set to expire. …

Internet platforms' liability shield Section 230 faced another round of attack at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Wednesday, this time with two distinct undercurrents complicating the conversation. One was an unprecedented wave of ongoing legal challenges to the law's scope, and the second was a heightened bipartisan concern over government censorship.
"Section 230 is not one of the Ten Commandments," Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) said in his opening remarks. "This idea that we can't touch it, otherwise internet freedom incinerates, is preposterous." Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have introduced a bill to sunset Secti …

The New Pornographers “Votive”
Back in 2007 it felt like a big swerve when The New Pornographers’ fourth album Challengers was about 55% ballads. Up to that point, the band specialized in up-tempo bops. I saw shows early in their career which ended with a third of the audience dancing on stage with them. Even with a few notable ballads on Twin Cinema, the Challengers record came as a surprise. But in retrospect this seems crazy. There wasn’t that much of a change between the third and fourth record, and the shift towards variation in texture and tone was an inevitability as the band transitioned from supergroup project to ongoing band. It’s almost 20 years later, and The New Pornographers have...

Hoto makes electric screwdrivers for different budgets. If you don’t want to spend much, you can get its most basic model, which we’ve recommended many times. That one comes with 25 bits, and has three levels of torque for $29.99 (usually $59.99). But if you want more power and versatility, its PixelDrive model might be the better option. It offers six levels of torque, plus two speed options: 80RPM for precision-oriented tasks, and a 200RPM setting for faster action. Hoto has knocked $20 off its price, and you can pick it up for $59.99 at Amazon.

The BC250 is what AMD calls an APU, or Accelerated Processing Unit. It combines a GPU and CPU into a single unit, and was originally built to serve as the heart of certain Samsung rack mount servers. If you know where to find cheap surplus units of the BC250, you can put them to good use for AI work, as [akandr] demonstrates.
The first thing you’ll have to figure out is how to take an individual BC250 APU and get it up and running. It’s effectively a full system-on-chip, combining a Zen 2 CPU with a Cyan Skillfish RDNA 1.5 GPU. However, it was originally intended to run inside a rackmount server unit rather than a standalone machine. To get it going, you’ll need to hook it up with power and some kind of...
