Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is planning new rounds of layoffs for sometime this month, November, and January, according to Fortune. In July, as part of an organizational "reset," Sharma announced planned layoffs affecting 3,200 staffers over the course of Microsoft's 2027 fiscal year, including 1,600 cuts at that time, and in September, Microsoft laid off around 260 employees. Sharma's changes have also included letting Double Fine and Compulsion Games become independent again, though Senua developer Ninja Theory may close.

The Fire HD 10 offers a sharper, larger screen than its smaller siblings. | Image: Amazon Amazon recently announced it’s phasing out its Fire HD tablets in favor of much pricier Alexa Tablets. While the days of getting an affordable, but good tablet from Amazon seem to be coming to an end, you can still get a fantastic deal on the ad-supported Amazon Fire HD 10. It has dropped to a new low of $72.99 ($82 off) at Amazon. While it’s far from the fastest tablet out there, it’s a solid option for watching movies, reading books, or browsing the web. And, it’ll continue to get security updates.

Microsoft is reportedly planning to launch an Xbox "next-generation handheld device" for the holiday season of 2027. The Xbox next-gen console, codename Project Helix, would then launch in the holidays of 2028, according to a new report from Fortune.
The report doesn't make it clear whether the handheld would be made by a manufacturer like Asus, or by Microsoft itself. Xbox teamed up with Asus for its Xbox Ally devices, which ran a modified version of Windows 11 with an Xbox mode enabled. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has also described Project Helix as a "family of devices," suggesting that Microsoft's next Xbox console may not be just one piece of …

One could make a joke about how an astronaut walking on the lunar surface is rather akin to a cat walking on the carpet in the living room, but out in space the resulting triboelectric discharge can do a lot more damage than just some stinging fingers and a bemused looking cat.
The problem that NASA and other space agencies are dealing with is that the charge that builds up on a lunar-walking astronaut is very hard to equalize with something like a lunar lander. For this reason they have now set up the Lunar Grounding Challenge to consult the public whilst dangling $150,000 of rewards in front of anyone ready to pounce with a good idea.

Coral bleaching is a major problem for ocean ecosystems as the ocean gets warmer. Researchers at Stanford have found a new method for regenerating bleached corals.
Scientists working on coral found that when they had a bleached and healthy example accidentally touching in the lab, the symbionts from the healthy coral that make its food were able to spread to the bleached coral, reviving it in a matter of weeks. Contact was only required for one week, although three days was sufficient in a few cases. The effect only seems to work with corals of the same genet as the healthy corals of other genets just take over the bleached coral antagonistically.
This is particularly exciting, as areas where not all coral has...

Summary: For most of history, slow, costly, and dangerous travel kept communities isolated and left them vulnerable. Modern transportation has expanded trade, improved access to food and medicine, and made distant places accessible to ordinary people. Despite everyday delays and frustrations, this extraordinary freedom of movement—and the ingenuity that made it possible—deserves our awe. Whether stuck in slow-moving traffic, coping with a flight delay, or sitting motionless in a metro car because of an unexpected obstruction on the tracks, it can be easy to feel frustrated that transportation is still fraught with such annoyances. But stepping back to consider the broader story of transportation progress...

Last month, Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson ordered Meta to hand over the command histories of the servers it used to torrent pirated books.
These logs would presumably reveal how Meta’s torrent clients were set up, including any changes to their upload settings.
The order is one of many discovery battles in the lawsuits over Meta’s use of shadow libraries. In the class action filed by authors including Richard Kadrey and Sarah Silverman, the court already ruled that training AI models on the books was fair use. That left the BitTorrent claims as the last live part of that case.
The server logs could reveal what happened on Meta’s machines. However, publisher Entrepreneur Media also wants to know who...

If you are one of those people who visualize things physically better than in the abstract, then Regex Marble Run by [bottomless] might be for you. You enter a test expression and a string, and the site generates a virtual marble machine that lets you see the regular expression pick apart the string in a physical way.
Click this link, and you’ll see the regular expression “^[hH]ack.[dD][^0-9]*$” which, if you aren’t a regular expression user, might seem a bit cryptic. However, it is fairly simple if you take it bit-by-bit.
The caret character tells it to match the start of the string. So “^dog” will match “dog” and “dog food” but won’t match “food for a dog.” The following bit...

Il y a quelques jours, durant la conférence Hexacon à Paris, un chercheur nommé Quentin Kaiser a rendu publique une faille de sécurité qui traîne depuis au moins 2010 dans la fonction WPS de Broadcom. Je dis "qui traine" au présent parce qu'elle n'est toujours pas patchée évidemment. Alors si vous ne savez pas ce qu'est WPS, c'est une fonctionnalité qui permet de connecter un appareil au WiFi sans avoir taper la clé.
Cela veut dire que quelqu'un à portée du réseau sans fil peut faire exécuter son propre code à une box ou à un point d'accès, sans avoir à connaître la clé du réseau et sans même mener un enrôlement WPS jusqu'au bout.
Son exploit, il l'a filmé sur deux box belges. Chez...

Les cartes Memory Stick Duo de 64 Go qu’on peut trouver en ligne (comme ici) m’intriguaient depuis un moment : Sony n’a jamais proposé cette capacité, et les Memory Stick Pro ne peuvent normalement pas dépasser 32 Go. Du coup, j’en ai acheté une. Un peu de théorie : les premières Memory Stick ont une capacité maximale de 128 Mo (256 Mo en trichant). La seconde génération, les Memory Stick Pro, peuvent atteindre 32 Go (un peu comme les SDHC). Vers la fin de la vie des Memory Stick, en 2009, Sony a annoncé les Memory Stick XC. Le principe est le même que pour les cartes SDXC : une capacité de 2 To au maximum et un formatage par défaut en exFAT. Mais en pratique, Sony n’a pas réellement...
La Disquette , j'sais pas si vous êtes déjà tombés dessus, mais c'est un site qui propose chaque semaine un ancien jeu PC Windows jouable gratuitement durant sept jours, sans rien installer. Et cette semaine, et jusqu'au lundi 26 octobre, c'est Grand Theft Auto 2, le Rockstar de 1999. Et ensuite, ce sera Counter-Strike 1.6 à partir du 26, puis Crimson Skies le 2 novembre.

All [Hannah Robertson]’s Birduino needs is for one to tap an NFC-enabled card to the reader, and the device plays one of the vocalizations associated with the bird shown on the card. It ties together a few different components into a whole, and acts as a good reference design for similar work. There are a few time-saving construction tips worth keeping in mind, too.
The major components are an Arduino Nano, an RC522 RFID reader, and an MP3 player module. Using hardware modules and breakout boards means simpler wiring and being able to take advantage of existing libraries and sample code. There are also a few other things in this build that avoid re-inventing the wheel.

“Quantum computers promise exponential computational power by processing many possibilities simultaneously. But the machines we have today are still far from this ideal. For one, their bits, called qubits, are prone to frequent errors, and as a result, quantum computers are limited for now. To overcome errors, the machines need to tap into so-called magic states—and scientists at Google Research think their quantum chip could help get them there. In a new study published today in Science, the researchers show how to supply magic states more cheaply using a gardening-inspired technique called cultivation. The standard recipe to make magic states is called distillation, and it creates fewer, more accurate...
“Vietnam and four European countries signed a free trade agreement in Hanoi on Sunday. The deal was announced by the governments of Vietnam and Norway.
