⠀ Amazon Prime Day is usually a sprint - two hectic days of lightning deals, overflowing shopping carts, and enough browser tabs to crash a laptop. But this year, Amazon is treating it more like a marathon. Instead of wrapping things up after 48 hours, the retailer is giving Prime members two additional days to shop. We're on day three now, yet the deals are just as good now as they were on day one.

As The Verge's resident disaster writer, I'm tired of this nonsense. So let's just get into it. What is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is basically an attempt to make precipitation fall from clouds. It targets clouds that have water droplets that are essentially too light to fall. Scientists at MIT learned in the 1940s that if you inject a mineral into the cloud that's similar to the crystalline structure of ice - typically silver iodide or salt - those small water droplets start to freeze to the mineral. This creates heavier ice particles that can eventually fall down to the ground. These days, researchers can use radar and satellite image …

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is threatening Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta with a deceptive business practices claim because their AI chatbots allegedly listed Donald Trump last on a request to “rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically regarding antisemitism.” Bailey’s press release and letters to all four companies accuse Gemini, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Meta AI of making “factually inaccurate” claims to “simply ferret out facts from the vast worldwide web, package them into statements of truth and serve them up to the inquiring public free from distortion or bias,” because the chatbots “provided deeply misleading answers to a straightforward historical...

The Hurdy-Gurdy is a wheeled instrument from medieval europe, which you may have heard of, given the existence of the laser-cut nerdy-gurdy, the electronic midi-gurdy we covered here, and the digi-gurdy which seems to be a hybrid of the two.

“Parisians and tourists flocked to take a dip in the Seine River this weekend after city authorities gave the green light for it to be used for public swimming for the first time in more than a century. The opening followed a comprehensive clean-up programme sped up by its use as a venue in last year’s Paris Olympics after people who regularly swam in it illegally, lobbied for its transformation. The outgoing mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, also helped to champion the plans, jumping in the river herself before the Olympics. About 1,000 swimmers a day will be allowed access to three bathing sites on the banks of the Seine for free, until the end of August.” From The Guardian.

The maximum sentence for these crimes will now be life imprisonment, the news agency said… The death penalty will remain for 10 other criminal offences under Vietnamese law, including murder,...

That’s more than twice the total number of Netflix subscriptions worldwide… What’s immediately obvious is how much of this growth has come from Sub-Saharan Africa; it’s home to more than half of the world’s accounts. In 2023, there were over 330 million active mobile money accounts in the region; more than one mobile money account for every four people. What’s changed? One of the obvious drivers of this growth has been the widespread adoption of mobile phones, not just in the richest countries but across the globe....

According to [Casey Connolly], Qualcomm’s release of how to interact with their embedded USB debugging (EUD) is a big deal. If you haven’t heard of it, nearly all Qualcomm SoCs made since 2018 have a built-in debugger that connects to the onboard USB port. The details vary by chip, but you write to some registers and start up the USB phy. This gives you an oddball USB interface that looks like a seven-port hub with a single device “EUD control interface.”
So what do you do with that? You send a few USB commands, and you’ll get a second device. This one connects to an SWD interface. Of course, we have plenty of tools to debug using SWD. In particular, there’s a fork of OpenOCD that knows how to use...

And there is something absolutely delicious about licking around the edge of the ice cream as it softens that brings us back to childhood. There are plenty to choose from at the supermarket. Even the simplest, made with soft flat chocolate wafers, are easy to wolf down. But we’re going to make them, so let’s focus on the type where cookies are used to sandwich the ice cream. The benefit of making your own is the variety of flavor and texture combinations you can create. Don’t be intimidated into thinking you need to make your own ice cream, instead concentrate on making the cookies and choosing an...

When we do textbook analysis, we tend to ignore the real-world concerns for the sake of learning. So, a typical theoretical voltage divider is simply two resistors. But if you examine a low-pass RC filter, you’ll see a single resistor and a capacitor. What if you combine them? That’s what [Old Hack EE] did in a recent video, and you can check it out below.
It helps if you are familiar with Thevenin equivalents and, of course, Ohm’s Law. There’s also a bit of algebra, but nothing too complicated. The example design has a lossy filter at 100 Hz.
Of course, RC filters are easy to understand if you think of them as voltage dividers with a frequency-variable resistance, which is what the math is basically...

At the turn of the millennium, the Murray Grove development attempted to rebrand modular construction, confronting Britain’s housing woes and heritage hang-ups.As a part of our 25th-anniversary celebration, we’re republishing formative magazine stories from before our website launched. This story previously appeared in Dwell’s April 2001 issue. In a London gripped by a feverish surge of lottery-funded, bread-and-circus building that has given the city everything from the ill-fated Millennium Dome to the Tate Modern, and against a background of an economic boom whose imminent end is now clearly being signaled by a deluge of ultra-high-rise skyscrapers, Murray Grove is so modest as to be almost invisible....

Immutable distributions are slowly spreading across the Linux world– but should you care? Are they hacker friendly? What does “immutable” mean, anyway? Immutable means “not subject or susceptible to change” according to Merriam-Webster, which is not 100% accurate in this context, but it’s close enough and the name is there so we’re stuck with it. Immutable distributions are subject to change, it’s just that how you change them is quite a bit different than bog-standard Linux. Will this matter to you? Read on to find out!

Depuis l’élection de Kaïs Saïed à la présidence, en 2019, la Tunisie intensifie son rapprochement avec l’Iran. De quoi faire naître certaines craintes, dans ce pays majoritairement sunnite, mais un temps gouverné par une dynastie chiite, les Fatimides, d’une “chiisation de la société” sous les auspices du chef de l’État.

Dans cet entretien recueilli par écrit – faute de pouvoir être réalisé en présentiel ou en visioconférence pour « des raisons de sécurité » –, le dirigeant iranien reconnaît l’arrestation par le régime du jeune cycliste franco-allemand Lennart Monterlos, disparu depuis le 16 juin.

Le manque d'investissement est le principal défi que doit relever l'UE pour faire face aux chocs économiques, technologiques, sociaux, climatiques et sécuritaires qui s'entremêlent aujourd'hui. Pour rester prospère, libre et sûre, l'UE doit surmonter ses énormes déficits de financement et devenir une puissance d'investissement stratégique comme ses principaux concurrents, les États-Unis et la Chine. Tout en s'inspirant de leurs modèles d'investissement, l'UE doit développer une "troisième voie" fondée sur sa propre gouvernance...

In the first Trump Administration, “they didn’t say ‘Fuck you’ to the courts,” Erez Reuveni said.

Que dire de Nôt, vu dans la cour d’honneur du palais des papes dimanche soir 6 juillet ? Il faut savoir préalablement que ce spectacle est inspiré du conte des Mille et Une Nuits (nôt signifie la nuit, en créole cap-verdien), car rien ne le suggère, sauf peut-être les amoncellements de draps ensanglantés, ceux des épouses que le sultan fait occire chaque matin ? Les Mille et Une Nuits, c’est d’abord un féminicide sans cesse repoussé.
 Et, ledit spectacle, comment le qualifier : pièce, ballet, performance ? Un point positif : on y échappe à la vidéo. De la danse, il y en a peu, au début et à la fin, mais captivante. On en aurait souhaité davantage. La scène d’ouverture...
