Modern computers are towers of glass and metal with very few large deviations from one to another. Monitor A will go against B, except you can’t tell them apart unless they’re on. At least, that is, compared to how different the old bulky monitors look compared to the new. [Andrzej Górski] seems to agree with this sentiment with his Oldputer, a blast from the past.
[Andrzej Górski]’s inspiration came from one component, and the main component of the project, an old e-ink display. When life gives you one of the slowest versions of a display, there really isn’t too much else to do other than pair it with slow old computers of the past. From that inspiration, there isn’t entirely a whole lot to do...

Earlier this year, Mercedes' AMG performance brand grabbed our attention with the GT four-door coupe, a souped-up sports sedan with three axial flux motors delivering over 1,150 horsepower. Well, now meet its beefier cousin, the 2028 Mercedes-AMG GT SUV, an equally powerful, ultra-fast-charging electric people-hauler.
The AMG GT SUV (say that five times fast) marks the first time in the performance brand's 59-year history that it has developed a full-size SUV entirely in-house from the ground up. Scheduled to hit the US next summer, the new EV is built on Merc's high-performance AMG.EA architecture to combine sports-car handling with full-s …

In 2024, Elon Musk promised to give away $1 million a day to a randomly selected registered voter in a swing state. That prompted legal challenges, raised questions about its legality, and drew lawsuits from two Arizona residents claiming the lottery was a fraud. Musk has now agreed to settle the two lawsuits filed in Austin, Texas, though the details of the settlement have not been made public.
The plaintiffs claim that when Musk announced the sweepstakes, he falsely claimed the prizes would be awarded randomly. Philadelphia's District Attorney sued to stop the giveaway, claiming that Musk was running an illegal lottery. During a hearing, …

A small Japanese study found correlated urinary oxytocin levels in cats and their owners, alongside links with owner stress and mood. Closer everyday proximity was associated specifically with higher vigor and activity scores, rather than better scores across every mood measure. The observational findings do not show that cats caused improved mental health or establish how much time owners should spend with them. A cat settling beside its owner may be part of a relationship that reaches beyond companionship. A small study of Japanese households found links between feline and human hormone levels, while closer everyday proximity was associated with owners feeling more vigorous and active. The research,...

Pikmin preparing to do battle with a Bulborb | Image: Nintendo If you’re wondering what video game to play this weekend, my colleague Sheena Vasani spotted a discounted Nintendo Switch title with instant digital delivery. Walmart has the digital version of Pikmin 4 for Switch discounted to $39.88, just over $20 lower than its usual price. This version of the game follows the same puzzle formula as previous titles in the series, but adds in a dog companion for an extra layer of complexity and action, and dives deeper into the dark undertones previous games hinted at.

It's hard to overstate Jad Abumrad's impact on the podcasting world. He created and hosted Dolly Parton's America and Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, two Peabody Award-winning shows that offered unprecedented looks at the lives of two of the most important music icons of the last century.
Before that, though, he created Radiolab, an experimental NPR show that leaned heavily on creative sound design and eventually helped redefine what a podcast could be. In the early days of podcasting, shows were often just a couple of people talking at each other at a table (some still are), or lazily repackaged radio broadcasts.

Simple tricks to keep your carved jack-o'-lantern fresh, from bleach soaks and petroleum jelly to cold storage and daily misting
The writeup distinguishes calculated appearances from direct photographs and uses the paper’s sample of 152 stars. The study investigates how dense atmospheres produce unusual stellar colors. arxiv.org A Warwick-led analysis finds that some white dwarfs would appear green, pink, purple, yellow or cyan to human eyes. Dense atmospheres and trace chemicals reshape their light, allowing their colors to depart from the usual temperature sequence. Five of 152 nearby white dwarfs showed strongly unusual colors, while the sample’s typical color remained close to white. A stellar remnant with traces of swallowed planetary material would look green to a nearby human observer. Its unexpected appearance emerges from...
To quote commenter [douyarou], “It’s like our little version of a Precambrian explosion”. A bunch of hackers have discovered, independently and building on each other’s work, software-defined radio (SDR) capabilities in more places than you can shake a stick at.
It all started with [Espargos] and [h0m3us3r] apparently independently discovering that the ESP32 family of chips had a “secret” debug mode that allowed direct access to the radio that’s normally used for WiFi. While the 2.4 GHz radio signal is almost always immediately converted into data by the MAC hardware, here they found a way to listen in upstream, to the raw IQ data.

A partial skull acquired by London’s Natural History Museum in 1924 has been identified as Europe’s first known megaraptoran dinosaur. Named Invictibellatrix amberina, the predator lived about 120 million years ago and was probably three to four meters long. The fossil supports an early European presence for these carnivores, although their wider relationships and migration routes remain uncertain. A weathered piece of dinosaur skull has filled a continental gap in the history of long-clawed predators. Acquired by London’s Natural History Museum in 1924, the fossil belongs to a newly named species that lived on what is now the Isle of Wight about 120 million years ago. The animal, Invictibellatrix...

If you’re looking to try a new, open source 3D modeling CAD suite, especially one with automation-friendly interfaces, take a look at SolidCraft. It’s under development but there’s support for all the usual features like sketches, solid modeling, and constraints as well as a full parametric feature timeline.
SolidCraft offers desktop, browser-based, headless CLI, and MCP interfaces.
A parametric timeline essentially means the model exists not as a single discrete object, but as the sum of a sequence of operations. One advantage of this is being able to set things up so that if one changes a value (like wall thickness), all the features that depend on that change automatically get rebuilt as a result. But...

The 14% figure refers to median lifespan in a small study of aged female mice. This version also distinguishes younger molecular profiles from proven rejuvenation and includes the unresolved safety questions. Nature Aging Increasing the RNA-processing factor SRSF1 shifted aged human skin cells toward younger molecular profiles while preserving fibroblast identity. In a study of 19 aged female mice, regulated SRSF1 expression increased median lifespan from 778 to 886 days, about 14%. The findings remain preclinical, with larger replication studies, long-term safety testing and careful control of gene expression still needed. Old skin cells can acquire more youthful molecular features without surrendering their...
There’s a tendency among cherished brands to licence their name and logo onto all sorts of novelty items in order to make a quick buck. Joining this trend is the guitar maker Fender, who have lent their name to a chopping board in the shape of their famous Telecaster. The existence of such a product seems to have been a direct challenge to [Not A Luthier], who promptly bought one and turned it into a real guitar. It’s a genuine Fender, but is it a genuine Fender guitar? Not really, but it’s an entertaining build.

Mais avec un peu de recherche (et un peu d’aide), j’ai trouvé. Alors, l’aide, pour être très clair, c’est ChatGPT. je suis parti de la ROM, j’ai demandé une analyse et… rien. Dans la ROM elle-même, il y a bien deux images JPEG, mais pas de méthode directe pour les afficher. J’ai donc réfléchi, cherché, et je suis arrivé à une conclusion : si l’Easter Egg n’est...

Hand tracking in VR/AR can add a substantial amount of immersion and added interactivity. Unfortunately, most camera based tracking suffers when fingers get covered, intertwined, or simply out of view of the headset’s camera. What’s even less common are methods of giving feedback to the user’s hands. [Sebastian Molano] saw these issues and decided if anyone was going to make an open-source solution, it was going to be him with his thesis on TAKTO.

Four 23-meter telescopes on La Palma mark the completion of construction for CTAO-North’s Large-Sized Telescope sub-array. Their large mirrors and rapid response are designed to capture faint atmospheric flashes from energetic cosmic sources. Commissioning and formal acceptance remain ahead, while the first telescope has already produced scientific results. A brief flash high above a mountain can carry evidence of an explosion billions of years ago. Catching that faint signal requires enormous mirrors, fast cameras and the ability to turn toward a changing sky. Four telescopes on La Palma are bringing that combination to a new stage of development. The Large-Sized Telescope collaboration marked the...
