The CGO Compact’s handlebar twists and the pedals fold to hug a wall or lay flat in a car. | Image: Tenways Tenways just launched its new CGO Compact electric bike in Europe that's designed to fit into tight spaces like car trunks, apartment hallways, and train compartments.
To achieve this, the CGO Compact is fitted with small 20-inch wheels, folding pedals, and a handlebar fitted with a twistable stem to create a slim, wall-hugging profile. The adjustable steering column and low-step through frame also make it suitable for a wide range of rider heights, so it could be a good shareable e-bike for families. And its MIK HD rear carrier system is good for hauling up to 27kg (almost 60 pounds) around town, with...

Pour le boulot, j’ai pu tester deux webcams intéressantes, les Link 2 Pro et Link 2C Pro. Et les choix techniques d’Insta360 sont intéressants, parce qu’ils ne sont pas les mêmes que pour d’autres fabricants de webcam haut de gamme. Je vous conseille d’aller lire le test sur MacG, évidemment. La version 2C sur un écran
Parler de webcams, c’est extrêmement subjectif. Certains veulent juste un truc qui affiche une image et qui se fait oublier, sans trop se soucier de la qualité de l’image. En clair, la webcam intégrée dans l’écran d’un ordinateur portable, celle intégrée dans de (rares) moniteurs ou n’importe quel modèle d’entrée de gamme suffit. La qualité est parfois...

Méconnue du grand public, cette ville finlandaise met en avant ses traditions nordiques et la culture du peuple Sámi, tout en cherchant à préserver un environnement fragile et à encadrer un tourisme devenu vital pour les régions nordiques, mais de plus en plus exposé au risque du surtourisme.

The Argon40 ONE UP unsurprisingly looks like a laptop. (Credit: Jeff Geerling)
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module form factor is a tantalizing core for a potential laptop, with a CM5 module containing a fairly beefy SoC and RAM, with depending on the exact module also eMMC storage and WiFi. To turn this into a laptop you need a PCB to put the CM5 module on and slide it into a laptop shell. This is in effect what [Argon40] did with their crowdfunded ONE UP laptop, which [Jeff Geerling] has been tinkering with for a few weeks now, with some thoughts on how practical the concept of a CM5-based laptop is.
Most practical is probably the DIY option that [Jeff] opted for with the ‘Shell’ version that he bought, as...

[The Signal Path] shows us how to recreate a classic science experiment to measure the weight of an electron. Things are easier for us, because unlike [J. J. Thomson] in 1897, we have ready sources of electrons and measuring equipment. Check it out in the video below.
The main idea is to trap an electron using a magnetic field into a circular path. You can then compute the forces required to keep it in that circle, along with some other equations, and combine them. The result lets you compute the charge to mass ratio using parameters you can either control or measure, like the radius of the circular path and the electric field.
Helmholtz coils create the magnetic field, and a cold cathode tube provides the...

For as long as small, hidden radio transmitters have existed, people have wanted a technology to detect them. One of the more effective ways to find hidden electronics is the nonlinear junction detector, which illuminates the area under investigation with high-frequency radio waves. Any P-N semiconductor junctions in the area will emit radio waves at harmonic frequencies of the original wave, due to their non-linear electronic response. If, however, you suspect that the electronics might be connected to a dangerous device, you’ll want a way to detect them from a distance. One solution is harmonic radar (also known as nonlinear radar), such as this phased-array system, which detects and localizes the harmonic...

"God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratos' youth during his harsh training at the Agoge alongside his brother Deimos," Sony says. Over the course of the game, Kratos will "learn deadly skills using his spear and shield, as well as harness powerful divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to take on a wide array of foes."

Billing continued to dwindle. In the penultimate month of the year, Trump "deprofessionalized" architecture, a change that will affect higher ed funding for the worse. After a year of sad trombone sounds, building collective power amongst precarious workers has become even more urgent: As business slows, firm leaders attempting to undercut competition by reducing their workforce and overloading whoever remains has become common practice.

Ham radio operators may be familiar with slow-scan television (SSTV) where an image is sent out over the airwaves to be received, decoded, and displayed on a computer monitor by other radio operators. It’s a niche mode that isn’t as popular as modern digital modes like FT8, but it still has its proponents. SSTV isn’t only confined to the radio, though. [BLANCHARD Jordan] used this encoding method to store digital images on a cassette tape in a custom-built tape deck for future playback and viewing.
The self-contained device first uses an ESP32 and its associated camera module to take a picture, with a screen that shows the current view of the camera as the picture is being taken. In this way it’s...

“A new kind of pill sharply reduced artery-clogging cholesterol in people who remain at high risk of heart attacks despite taking statins, researchers reported Wednesday… In a major study, more than 2,900 high-risk patients were randomly assigned to add a daily enlicitide pill or a dummy drug to their standard treatment. The enlicitide users saw their LDL cholesterol drop by as much as 60% over six months, researchers reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. There are other pills that patients can add to their statins ‘but none come close to the degree of LDL cholesterol lowering that we see with enlicitide,’ said study lead author Dr. Ann Marie Navar, a cardiologist at UT Southwestern Medical...

Ora Cogan “Honey”
In comic book art, or at least old-fashioned 20th century comic book art, one of the major roles of the inker is to embellish the penciled layout illustrations so it’s all crisply articulated in ink with subtle variations in line density. A masterful inker adds dimension and weight with precise brush strokes, and often compensates for flaws in the pencil art. It’s a very technical role in the process, but when it’s done right you get an extra bit of soul on the page. The arrangement and mix of Ora Cogan’s “Honey” makes me think of a well-inked page. There’s a lot of ways the song could’ve sounded ordinary, but everything in the track has a carefully considered weight and...

Exhaust billows out of a car tailpipe on January 2nd, 2008, in San Francisco. | Photo: Getty Images The Trump administration just eliminated the landmark finding that has underpinned federal regulations on planet-heating pollution since 2009. For nearly the past two decades, the "endangerment finding" has allowed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to craft rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Rather than repealing those rules individually, the Trump administration can undermine them all at once by attacking the endangerment finding.
Today, the EPA finalized its plans to overturn the endangerment finding as part of its attempts to overhaul tailpipe pollution standards. The...

Originally only sold at the Pokémon Center New York in late 2001 for (inflation adjusted) $80, the Pokémon Mini would go on to see a release in Japan and Europe, but never had more than ten games produced for it. Rather than Game Boy-like titles, these were distinct mini games that came on similarly diminutive cartridges. These days it’s barely remembered, but it can readily be used for homebrew titles, as [Inkbox] demonstrates in a recent video. Inside the device is an Epson-manufactured 16-bit S1C88 processor that runs at 4 MHz and handles basically everything, including video output to the monochrome 96×64 pixel display. System RAM is 4 kB of SRAM, which is enough for the basic games that it was...
