Tim Cook remercie “toutes les personnes folles” qui ont construit la légende d’Apple, né le 1er avril 1976. Le géant du numérique a bâti son succès mondial sur un slogan, “Think different”, depuis ses débuts dans un garage californien, en produisant une batterie d’innovations qui ont marqué l’époque (Macintosh, iPad, iPhone…). Mais la success story cache quelques zones d’ombre.

Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which runs through 11:59PM PT tonight, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold folks over until Prime Day surfaces at the onset of summer. The bulk of the deals we’ve seen over the past week aren’t quite on par with Black Friday or Prime Day, and, as with most shopping events, not everything on sale is worth picking up. That said, Amazon’s latest sale still represents one of the first big opportunities we’ve seen this year to save — and bypass some...

Lee “Scratch” Perry & Mouse On Mars “Rockcurry”
Who would’ve guessed that a “Hallagallo” groove would go so well with the stoned mutterings of dub reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry? Not me, but I’m not surprised, since I love pretty much anything with that distinct motorik groove. Mouse On Mars and the late Perry are an unexpected pairing but make sense when you consider how much of either’s body of work comes down to tweaking recordings until they become a bit surreal. Mouse On Mars also gravitate to odd vocal tones and cadences – they made an entire record with The Fall’s Mark E Smith back in the 2000s, and a lot of their best tracks include cartoonishly distorted vocals....

If you’re looking for the best time to get a deal this spring, it might very well be during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which runs through 11:59PM PT tonight. We’re still highlighting the best that the sale has to offer, including the many so-called “doorbuster” deals that will appear throughout the remainder of the seasonal shopping event. Despite the fact that the sale will end in a few short hours, you can find deals on all sorts of consumer tech, from personal audio and home theater upgrades to steep discounts on video games, mobile accessories, and various doo-dads for tinkerers. Given that the sale coincides with the arrival of spring, you can also find deals on plenty of outdoor-friendly gear,...

Earlier this month, Apple announced the AirPods Max 2, a pair of over-ear headphones that leverage the company’s H2 chip for AI-powered live translation, conversation awareness, and a host of newer features. However, if you’re okay with a pair of earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3 offer access to all the same features for less — especially given they’re on sale at Amazon and Walmart for $199 ($50 off) as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, matching their second-best price to date.

Some projects take great care to tuck away wire hookups, but not [Roberto Alsina]’s Reloj V2 clock. This desktop clock makes a point of exposing all components and wiring as part of its aesthetic. There are no hidden elements, everything that makes it work is open to view. Well, almost.
The exception is the four MAX7219 LED matrices whose faces are hidden behind a featureless red panel, and for good reason. As soon as the clock powers up, the LEDs shine through the thin red plastic in a clean glow that complements the rest of the clock nicely.
[Roberto]’s first version was a unit that worked similarly, but sealed everything away in a wedge-shaped enclosure that was just a little too sterile, featureless,...

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale may not have been as “big” as Black Friday or even Prime Day, but depending on what you’re after, the discounts are more appealing than you might think. Take charging accessories, for instance. Anker, Twelve South, Baseus, and others have sharply lowered the prices of some of our favorite add-ons, including handsome 3-in-1 charging stands, 25,000mAh battery packs, and inexpensive Qi2 pucks. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of the discounts are set to expire at 11:59PM PT this evening when Amazon’s spring promo officially draws to a close. However, unlike some of the recent deals we saw on Apple devices and Sonos gear, many of the deals we’re seeing on charging devices are...

With ever increasing sizes of various programs (video games being notorious for this), the question of size optimization comes up more and more often. [Nathan Otterness] shows us how it’s done by minifying a Linux “Hello, World!” program to the extreme.
A naive attempt at a minimal hello world in C might land you somewhere about 12-15Kb, but [Nathan] can do much better. He starts by writing everything in assembly, using Linux system calls. This initial version without optimization is 383 bytes. The first major thing to go is the section headers; they are not needed to actually run the program. Now he’s down to 173 bytes. And this is without any shenanigans!

“Amidst growing global challenges, perceptions of human cooperation—a cornerstone of societal progress—appear to be in decline. Despite empirical evidence showing that people in both the USA and China exhibit increased cooperation in experimental games, the public remains convinced that morality and trust—two key ingredients of cooperation—have declined over time. To investigate this paradox, this study examines trends in cooperation that people perceive from the past into the future, along with the reasons they perceive to underlie these trends. We conducted a cross-cultural survey of 628 Americans and 449 Chinese, asking them to estimate the likelihood of others’ cooperative behavior in a...

Pfizer said in a statement the companies are ‘confident in the vaccine’s potential’ and plan to submit the data to regulatory authorities, even though it missed a statistical cutoff for success. If approved, it could become the only Lyme disease vaccine available for people — although it would not be the first.” From Washington Post.

It’s likely that Hackaday has a readership with the highest percentage of oscilloscope ownership among any in the world, and we’re guessing that most of you who fit in that bracket have a modern digital instrument on your bench.

Keeping your filament safely away from moisture exposure is one of the most crucial aspects of getting a good 3D print, with equipment like a filament dryer a standard piece of equipment to help drive accumulated moisture out of filament prior to printing or storage. Generally such filament dryers use hot air to accomplish this task over the course of a few hours, but this is not very efficient for a number of reasons. Increasing the vaporization rate of water without significantly more power use should namely be quite straightforward.
The key here is the vapor pressure of a liquid, specifically the point at which it begins to transition between its liquid and gaseous phases, also known as the boiling point....
