Valve recently began shipping its long-awaited VR headset, the Steam Frame. Now, there is a hardware reference repository that includes everything a budding modder might need, and then some.
No need to 3D scan or break out the calipers if one wants to design their own add-ons.
Want to design and 3D print some add-ons, or a carrying case, or some other doodad? There’s no need to break out the calipers or 3D scan the hardware. The repository contains STEP format models of the VR core module, head strap, and controllers, so it’s as easy as possible to design things that’ll fit. The location of the IR tracking LEDs embedded in the controllers is also documented, so one can ensure their design doesn’t...

Ukraine's leader had said the deal with Russia to release diesel into the US would help Moscow fund the war.

Artists are taking to social media to complain that DistroKid has unceremoniously removed their work without notice. Now DistroKid has confirmed to The Verge that the takedowns are a direct response to claims made by UMG. The label filed a lawsuit in September claiming that DistroKid has created an "AI-slop pipeline." Artists are saying that their non-AI works are being caught up in the purge, however.
Musician and self-described "Video Game boy" McGwire reported that six of his songs had been removed from streaming. As has been the case with others, McGwire says that there was no communication from DistroKid before or after the removals, a …

Finding inexpensive broken hardware for sale, buying it, and restoring it to working condition is a long-standing tradition for hackers on a limited budge. But there are some devices that are so difficult to repair that it’s usually not worth the trouble. [Vintage560] is braver than most, though, and restored an internally-damaged Casio AW-330-AT altimeter watch.
The exterior of the watch was in good condition, other than missing a readily-replaced strap, but the battery had leaked into the interior, and the watch didn’t respond in any way to new batteries. Cleaning out the guts with isopropyl alcohol, repositioning a plastic insulator, and bending some contacts back into shape at least got some segments...

Reports have been mounting that users of the Ledger crypto wallet have seen their accounts drained, and it appears to be related to tampered hardware sold by CryptoBillis. Ledger has asked CryptoBillis to pause all sales of its wallets while it conducts an investigation.

Photos and videos posted on X and Threads appear to show a small circuit board sandwiched under the screen. The implant allegedly intercepts anything displayed on the screen, including the seed passphrase shown during the initial setup. Using an embedded SIM card, the …

Sunmi is an undeniable force in K-pop. She first made her debut as a member of the Wonder Girls back in 2007, one of the first K-pop acts to really break through in the West. The English version of their single "Nobody" was the first K-pop song to hit the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2009.
In 2010 Sunmi left the group to go back to school, but the siren call of a music career pulled her back in. She released her debut solo EP Full Moon in 2014. That began a run of award-winning releases for the pop star, including Song of the Year for "Gashina" at the Gaon Chart Music Awards.
Despite her near-constant presence in the K-pop world as a solo …

After a recent spate of high-profile incidents in which AI agents escaped containment, Anthropic is cutting off internet access for all internal evaluations. In a report Friday, the company detailed "unintended model actions," including submitting a false tip regarding an unsolved murder, that led to the decision. Although the impact of these behaviors was minimal and we had already turned off live internet access for some high-risk and cybersecurity evaluations, we have now decided to expand that to include all our internal evaluations until we have confirmed that our security and monitoring measures (described in the remediation section …

We were looking into the marvelous recent project by [Throaty Mumbo] to recreate and reimagine the forgotten world of VHS-tape-based video games. Wait, what? Yes, back in the day, when computer graphics were more primitive, there were attempts to mix the gameplay of video games with the graphics from a video cassette. Take the Action Max system. It worked with a light-gun that pointed at the screen while the video played, and you tried to shoot at things as they flew by. Think Duck Hunt, but in glorious VHS video quality with cheesy acting, and the same gameplay loop every time, because it’s on the tape.
The unreleased Control-Vision VHS gaming system, co-developed with none other than Steve Wozniak, took...

Today, I’m talking with Peter Kafka, chief correspondent at Business Insider and host of the Channels podcast, about the gigantic Warner Bros.-Paramount merger and the future of the company now simply called Skydance. Skydance is owned by David Ellison, son of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and its deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery officially closed the day Peter and I spoke. There are some grand ambitions here, but the reality is that acquiring Warner never goes well for anyone. AOL failed, AT&T failed, and Discovery failed — although it did succeed in flipping these assets to Skydance. So I wanted to ask Peter if he thinks the Ellisons and Skydance have a real shot at succeeding where so many companies...

La deuxième ville de Colombie, longtemps considérée comme l’un des endroits les plus dangereux au monde, a enregistré seulement 5 homicides en septembre. Politique sécuritaire mais aussi programmes sociaux pourraient expliquer cette baisse spectaculaire de la criminalité.

Entre juillet et septembre 2026, 12 corps de femmes battues à mort ont été découverts dans la région d’Ekurhuleni, près de Johannesburg. La police n’exclut pas la possibilité d’un tueur en série.

[Hyperfixed] has a podcast episode that does a deep dive into exactly why bags of microwave popcorn advise against using your microwave’s popcorn setting (in North America, anyway.) The answer is probably more complex than one expects, and involves the long history of microwave oven development as well as consumer behavior.
There are really two questions involved: one is “what does the Popcorn button actually do?” The other is “Why does every package of microwave popcorn say not to use it?”
The answer to the first question is “it depends”. Microwave ovens are amazing things, but the popcorn setting on any given microwave oven could be anything from just a dumb timer, to a setting that tells the...

The IKEA Kortlinje is a digital clock that costs around 20 dollars, featuring a hygrometer and thermometer. It’s another cheap appliance, you might think, were it not that the display is a white LED matrix. Best of all, with three VK1640 LED controllers, it has hacking potential. You’re in at the ground floor if you hack one of these, but so far we’ve seen a post from the RevSpace hackerspace in the Netherlands, and the first glimmerings of a firmware on GitHub from [VIPnytt].
We have one on the bench here, and cracking it open we find the three LED drivers, an unidentified microcontroller with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal, and a mystery chip nobody’s yet identified that may either be some kind of I2C...

En plus de Clarus dans iOS 27 et macOS 27, il y a eu quelques petits Easter Egg dans le keynote du mois dernier. Vers 2:30, la scène avec Tim Cook est visiblement une copie de la scène d’ouverture de Skyfall. Vers 5:15, dans la transition, quelques petits trucs.

“Three people have received an innovative treatment designed to rejuvenate vision cells. In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, researchers from Life Biosciences reported that the treatment appears safe, and two of the recipients show early signs of improved vision. The study is among the first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration using a novel strategy of reprogramming cells to restore their normal function—essentially rejuvenating them. The scientists used a modified version of a reprogramming strategy that earned a Nobel Prize in 2012 for turning mature, adult cells back to an embryonic-like state from which they could become any of the cells in...

“In 2023, average income before transfers and taxes rose for households at the bottom of the income distribution and fell for those at the top. Income increased by 5 percent among households in the lowest quintile (or fifth) of the distribution from 2022 to 2023. (All measures of income in this report have been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation.) By contrast, income decreased by 9 percent among households in the top 1 percent. That decrease was largely due to a reduction in realized capital gains. Average income from other sources, on net, remained relatively unchanged among households in the top 1 percent.” From Congressional Budget Office.

“Rwanda increasingly relies on digital tools to improve monitoring for pregnant women and manage high-risk pregnancies. At the opening of the fifth Africa HealthTech Summit on Wednesday, September 30, Minister of State for Health Yvan Butera said these systems had contributed to a 30% decline in maternal mortality over the past two years. The strategy relies partly on digitizing the work of community health workers. More than 54,000 workers use smartphones to record information collected from households and monitor patients. The data allow health workers to identify some high-risk pregnancies more quickly and refer patients to appropriate health facilities or specialists.” From We Are Tech.

“Many discoveries that have revolutionized biology and medicine started with a scientist noticing something odd in the staggering diversity of molecular machines found in nature. Restriction enzymes, proteins that cut DNA at specific short sequences, were found in bacterial immune systems, where they destroy the DNA of invading viruses. Researchers realized they could use these enzymes to cut DNA at chosen places and splice genes from one organism into another, which launched the biotechnology industry. Taq polymerase, an enzyme that copies DNA at high temperatures, was identified in a bacterium in a Yellowstone hot spring. It became the basis for PCR, the DNA-copying method used in much of modern...

Series.ly was once one of Spain’s best-known pirate link sites. The original operation dropped its piracy links in late 2014. In 2021, the domain was bought at auction by a new team, which says it isn’t part of the original one.
The new Series.ly, which requires a login to access, became pretty popular on its own, with nearly two million monthly visits, and nearly 90% of its traffic coming from Spain.
That popularity didn’t go unnoticed by rightsholders, which haven’t given up on shutting it down yet. In May, film and TV producers’ group EGEDA filed a complaint with the Second Section of Spain’s Intellectual Property Commission, which falls under the Ministry of Culture, aiming to shut the site...
