It’s day three of Prime Day, folks. We’re nearly 75 percent of the way through Amazon’s four-day sales event, and unsurprisingly, many deals are still sticking around. There have been all kinds of discounts on things like TVs, smart home gadgets, chargers, headphones, and more. Prime Day typically isn’t as big of a deal as Black Friday, but it’s a chance to get some solid discounts on tech purchases both large and small. Many items are at or near their all-time low prices, and in the case of things that got more expensive this year due to RAMageddon it can be a chance to nab them at their old prices. Be sure to check out all our coverage, which we are thoroughly checking and updating throughout all...

Microsoft is increasing the prices of Xbox consoles again. Starting August 1st, 512GB models will be $100 more expensive, while 1TB models will be $150 more expensive. This means that the Xbox Series S will start at $499.99, the Xbox Series X without a disc drive will start at $749.99, and the Series X with a disc drive will start at $799.99.

I recently acquired a 2009 Citroen Relay van.
Driving it home, though, I discovered that the cab cooling fans didn't work. Turning the switch to 1, 2 or 3 did nothing, going to 4 led to a whiney fan noise with very little output from the vents.
There are generally 3 possible causes for this Burnt out resistor

This post details the process of changing the resistor. Although I did this on a Relay, the process (and parts) are apparently the same for the Citroen Nemo, Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer. You Will Need An 8mm socket

Amazon has the 256GB Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on sale for $919.99 (usually $1,099.99) for Prime Day, a significant discount for a phone that released just a few months ago in March.

Following an interview with The Wall Street Journal earlier this month where Tim Cook hinted at upcoming price changes, Apple officially raised the prices on many of its hardware offerings today. They include iPads, Macs, smart speakers, and even the affordable MacBook Neo. While Cook said the company has tried to "shield" customers from price increases as the cost of memory and storage has recently surged thanks to AI companies stockpiling RAM and SSDs for data centers, Apple has finally joined companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft with price hikes.
Here's a breakdown of what Apple hardware has been affected today and the range of p …

La grande vague de chaleur de 1976 a marqué toute une génération de Britanniques, dont Sean O’Grady, journaliste pour “The Independent”.

Un demi-siècle plus tard, alors que le record de température pour un mois de juin établi cette année-là vient de tomber, l’ambiance a changé.

Even though GPS makes it possible for us to easily navigate around the planet in almost any vehicle we’d like, whether that’s a passenger vehicle, airplane, or cargo ship, it’s not really suitable for applications that require sub-meter accuracy. For that, some specialized hardware is needed, and [GreatScott!] shows us how to do it using a small robot as a platform.
The key to extremely accurate GPS signals in this case is using a receiver that supports real-time kinematic positioning (RTK). This type of system relies on a base station with a known position communicating with local mobile receivers to increase the precision of those mobile receivers by comparing the phase angle of the received signals....

Squarepusher “K10 Terminus”
I’ve been thinking about how so many of the people we’ve been calling “electronic” producers and artists since the 90s really should’ve been classified as composers from the start. I understand why they weren’t: it’s kind of a lofty term, it’s not very commercial, and early on the most novel selling point was that acts like Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, μ-Ziq, and Autechre were largely working in an electronic mode and making futuristic music. But from this point in history, it’s pretty clear that electronic production was only a means to an end for most acts in this lane, and the game has always been about ambitious composition, not computers and...

Typically, when you’re sitting on a plane on the tarmac, you switch your phone to flight mode while you’re sitting through yet another “quirky” (boring) safety video. You’ll watch some inflight entertainment, read the airline magazine if you get really desperate, and wonder if anyone ever buys those random watches for sale in the “duty free” section. Then, finally, upon landing, you’ll be connected back to the Internet and you’ll finally feel like you can breathe again.
Only, this time, you forgot to set your plane on flight mode. You’re sitting at 30,000 feet, and… your phone has signal? You’re online, and you’re getting notifications and emails just like you’re on the ground....

Audio CDs were the ubiquitous audio format of the 1990s. Lesser known were the extensions to the format that packaged all kinds of interesting additional data into a musical release. Now, a new record from [Aizysse Baga] has brought back some of the most quirky and obscure CD features that time and industry long forgot.
[Aizysse Baga] worked with [Adelaide] on the Divacore record, which was to be released on a mini-CD. The original plan was to include additional CD+G data, featuring artwork to go with the music. CD+G, or CD+Graphics, was often used to display synchronized lyrics for karaoke releases, and stored data in formerly-unused subcodes next to the track start, track number, and running time data.

A long time before Beowulf clusters wired up with commodity Ethernet hardware became a hobbyist thing and a running joke, the transputer took a swing at a very similar architecture. This used stand-alone computers that were networked together with other transputer systems, to achieve task-level parallelism. For some people like [Lance Harvie] this is the kind of hardware that he used during his university years for a project, with him not only still having that hardware, but also recently adding to this collection with a recent eBay purchase.
