Mobile gaming has come a long way over the course of the last decade or so, but we all know that smartphones simply can’t match the visceral, tactile feel you get while playing with a dedicated controller. Luckily, Backbone makes some excellent mobile options — including last year’s Backbone Pro, which is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target right now for $139.99 ($30 off), its second-best price to date.

Adobe says it will pay $75 million to resolve a lawsuit filed by the US government alleging that the creative software giant harmed consumers by making its subscriptions intentionally hard to cancel and concealing termination fees.
The payment aims to resolve the complaint raised in June 2024, in which the US Justice Department accused Adobe of breaking federal consumer protection laws by failing to properly disclose important terms for its "annual paid monthly" plans, and forcing Creative Cloud subscribers through an "onerous and complicated" cancellation process. The lawsuit said that customers would then be "ambushed" with early terminat …

Deux fourgons de la banque d’État ukrainienne transportant l’équivalent de 70 millions d’euros ont été interceptés par les autorités hongroises la semaine dernière, alors qu’ils effectuaient un transfert entre l’Autriche et l’Ukraine.

Once it launches, it will also be the "exclusive" way to access 4K/UHD streaming, removing 4K streaming access from Prime subscribers who don't pay extra. Paying the extra five bucks for Ultra will also get you support for up to five simultaneous streams and up to 100 downloads, as well as access to both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. There are upgrades for Prime subscribers without Ultra after April 10th that will bring Dolby Vision (in 1080p) back after Amazon removed it from …

Summary: Olive oil prices spiked in 2023 amid heat and drought in Spain, prompting widespread claims that climate change was driving the industry into crisis. Production has since rebounded and prices have fallen sharply, undercutting the hysteria, but no corrections have been issued. The episode illustrates how short-term agricultural disruptions are sometimes unreasonably framed as evidence of long-term climate catastrophe. It’s the follow-up story that never gets written. An agricultural commodity experiences a period of below-average yields and rising prices, and it is reported as a climate change–induced crisis. Then, after another year or two, the trend reverses, but there are few, if any, attempts...

“River otters (Lontra canadensis) once moved almost everywhere in this basin. They swam with ease, hunted with precision and thrived in backwaters and bays thick with vegetation. But by the mid-20th century, they had vanished from the state of Ohio and become scarce across most of the watershed. The reasons stacked up quickly. Over-trapping for fur. Pollution that loaded fish with PCBs and other toxins. Wetlands drained for farms and cities. Rivers and streams straightened, dammed, stripped bare. By the 1970s, the silence spoke  volumes: the otter was gone, and with it an apex predator vital to the  food chain. … Today, river otters once more slip through marshes and estuaries across the Great Lakes...

After the previous attempt of running a PC off AA cells got a lot of comments, [ScuffedBits] decided to do the scientifically responsible thing and re-ran the experiment with all the peer-reviewed commentary in mind. Although we noted with the previous experiment that only alkaline cells were used, [ScuffedBits] rectified this by stating that both carbon and alkaline AA cells were used the first time around.
For this second experiment a number of changes were made, though still both carbon and alkaline cells were put into the mix. To these a third string was added, consisting of NiMH cells, for a total of 64 cells with each of the three strings outputting around 25 VDC when fully charged. These fed a cheap...

“India has launched the largest HPV vaccination drive in history, targeting 12 million teenage girls a year in an effort to tackle sky-high rates of cervical cancer. Roughly one in four global cases of cervical cancer, which is caused almost exclusively by infection by human papillomavirus (HPV), is reported in India. Every year over 130,000 Indian women are diagnosed with it and some 80,000 die of the disease. Now, the Indian government will offer free HPV vaccinations to all 14-year-old girls – roughly 11.5 million of them – in the country every year. The campaign, which began last week, will mostly use a jab known as Gardasil-4, a single-dose shot manufactured by US pharmaceutical company Merck & Co...

When Friday the Thirteenth and Patch Tuesday happen on the same week, we’re surely in for a good time.
Anyone who maintains any sort of Microsoft ecosystem knows by now to brace for impact come Patch Tuesday; March brings the usual batch of “interesting” issues, including: Two high-risk Microsoft Office vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-26110 and CVE-2026-26113), both of which allow execution of arbitrary code with no user interaction other than opening a hostile file. Vulnerabilities like these are especially dangerous in environments where transferring Office documents is considered normal, such as (unsurprisingly) offices, but also for home users who may not be savvy enough to avoid opening hostile files....

ArcaOS is an operating system you might not have heard of, but you will recognize it when we tell you that it’s the direct descendant of IBM’s OS/2. It’s just received a major update, and delivers this persuasive argument for its uptake:
“How about a commercial operating system which doesn’t spy on you, does not report your online activity to anyone, and gives you complete freedom to choose the applications you want to use, however you want to use them?”
We’re guessing that a higher-than-average number of Hackaday readers use open-source operating systems, but in a world in which the commercial OS everyone loves to hate is ever more turning the Play button into the Pay button, we have to admit...

The anime industry has experienced a surge in popularity, but this growth is not limited to legal streaming platforms. A significant portion of the demand for anime arrives from unofficial channels, with several major pirate websites dedicated solely to anime content. This includes HiAnime.to, which, with an estimated 150 million+ monthly visits is one of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. However, a message now displayed across the site’s main domains suggests that may be about to change.
“It’s time to say goodbye. And thank you for a wonderful journey with great moments,” the message reads, also shown on other official domains, such as HiAnime.me.

Fruit bowls have an unavoidable annoyance– not flies and rotten fruit, those would be avoidable if your diet was better. No, it’s that the bowl is never the right size. Either your fruit is sad and lonely in a too-large bowl, or it’s falling out. It’s the kind of existential nightmare that can only be properly illustrated by a late-night infomercial. [Simone Giertz] has a solution to the problem: a shape-changing fruit bowl.
See, it was one thing to make a bowl that could change shape. That was easy, [Simone] had multiple working prototypes. There are probably many ways to do it, but we like [Simone]’s use of an iris mechanism in a flat base to allow radial expansion of the walls. The problem was...

Dans les reproches, on a généralement le fait qu’elle est trop basse et qu’elle se recharge par une prise placée sous la souris (ce qui n’est en réalité pas un énorme problème, c’est juste ridicule visuellement), mais pas sa compatibilité. Alors que pourtant, c’est un défaut majeur, spécialement sur la versions USB-C (la seule encore en vente). Je l’avais déjà indiqué quand j’avais testé la version USB-C, mais la Magic Mouse USB-C demande un Mac assez récent. Ou, plus exactement, un système d’exploitation assez récent. Elle nécessite obligatoirement macOS Sequoia 15.1 pour fonctionner correctement, et...
