Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, who got to hear the album for the first time thanks to Pablo Torre Finds Out. | Getty Images Wu-Tang's Once Upon A Time in Shaolin album has, for the most part, been extremely difficult to listen to, but you can now hear two snippets of the album thanks to the podcast Pablo Torre Finds Out, which just published an episode all about the exclusive record.
Once Upon A Time in Shaolin has a long history, which Pablo Torre Finds Out goes into in detail. Disgraced pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli bought the only copy of the album, which cannot be commercially released until 2103, in 2015 at auction. Shkreli had to forfeit the album to the US government, and the government sold...

After this horrific crash involving a Tesla driver who said he was asleep and using the driver assist mode, the California Highway Patrol warns that "Despite its name, full self-driving is not fully autonomous. Technology does not relieve drivers of their responsibility to safely operate their vehicles."
Video released by CHP shows the Tesla speeding past flares, cones, and emergency lights where officers were on the scene of an earlier accident, before ramming into the back of a parked patrol vehicle. CHP says two officers were seriously injured in the accident and taken to a hospital. Two Solano CHP officers were seriously injured when …

We aren’t sure what [Lazy_Duck] is doing with video games, but it must require a lot of controllers. Dismayed at the cost and complexity of commercial gamepads, they started soldering and 3D printing to get a cheaper basic controller.
The emphasis is on throwing things together, so there’s no dedicated PCB. Just a protoboard with an RP2040-Zero, a joystick, a few buttons, and a microswitch. A 3D-printed case rounds out the project. On the printing side, the device uses heat-set threaded inserts, which should make for a very sturdy build. For software, the GP2040-CE firmware handles everything, acting like a controller and managing configuration via a web page.
Even if you don’t want a cheap gamepad, you...

Apple’s Home Collection, codeveloped with partners, is part of the company’s first major push into the smart home category. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge For more than a decade, Apple has told other companies to build smart home devices for its platform. This week, Apple launched its own. The Apple Home Collection is a lineup of cameras, thermostats, sensors, a smart door lock, and a video doorbell, all codeveloped with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. They arrive alongside HomeView, Apple's first smart display.
Even after 12 years of HomeKit, Apple's smart home ecosystem still feels underdeveloped, especially compared to the competition. Amazon's and Google's ecosystems support more...

In a world where wireless earbuds are increasingly seen as devices that you toss into the e-waste bin as soon as they stop working, it’s heartening to see companies take the opposite approach with their designs. In a recent teardown of the new Fairbuds 2 by [iFixit] we get a blow-by-blow report of disassembling one of these devices, getting to its rechargeable LIR1054 coin cell, as well as the very accessible PCB should you have to replace a shorted capacitor or similar issue. Much like with the first version, the 3.6 V lithium-ion coin cell can be extracted simply by pulling on the battery door, which leverages it out of the enclosure. Despite this easy access method and no glue these earbuds are still IP54...

Beyoncé’s Houston center to fight homelessness officially opens, even millionaires are tightening their furniture budgets, and more.After a devastating fire in 2021, a Houston youth center is getting a second life. The building, which Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland helped fund in 1999 and was part of the former’s childhood church, has reopened as the Knowles-Rowland House, now dedicated to supporting Houstonians experiencing chronic homelessness.

The BBC joins Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi as it regains crucial territory in the Donbas, but optimism has been dampened by souring relations with President Trump.

Alors que la majorité de Giorgia Meloni est secouée par les désaccords sur le soutien à Kiev, l’opposition, qui tente de s’unir en vue des élections de l’an prochain, se déchire aussi à ce sujet. Si les négociations progressent, la question ukrainienne reste “le nœud du problème”, constate la presse italienne.

Face aux accusations de « tri social », le ministre de l’enseignement supérieur, Philippe Baptiste, défend la plateforme avec des chiffres qui ne rendent que partiellement compte des difficultés rencontrées par les néobacheliers.

“UW Medicine Institute for Protein Design researchers have computationally designed synthetic proteases. Like molecular ‘scissors,’ these enzymes cut another protein at a precise, chosen point. The researchers specified a target sequence, designed enzymes to cut those targets, and verified their accuracy in doing so across a range of experimental settings. They tested the new enzymes on purified proteins, sequences drawn from proteins implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and, in one study, inside living human cells cultured in the lab… Most medicines work by binding: a small molecule or an antibody latches onto its target and holds on, thereby blocking or activating...

“Ghana has recorded a significant decline in malaria deaths, dropping from 3,259 in 2011 to 52 in 2025, representing a 98 percent reduction, the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea, has announced. In remarks delivered on his behalf at a durbar to commemorate World Malaria Day 2026 in Accra, the Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, said the gains reflect steady progress in Ghana’s efforts toward malaria elimination. He highlighted a significant decline in child malaria fatalities, which have fallen by 76 percent in just three years, while the introduction of RTS,S and R21 into routine immunization is further protecting children,...

These days, it’s common to give even very young children a mobile device loaded up with educational software that aims to improve everything from basic motor skills to reading and arithmetic. But even the cheapest phone or tablet isn’t the kind of thing most parents would like to see get destroyed, and there’s always a concern about giving children a device that’s capable of connecting to the Internet.
Which is where Braino! from [Ankush Pandit] comes in. This suite of applications can be easily flashed to a common Cheap Yellow Display to turn it into a legitimate educational tool. Combined with a 3D printed case, the total cost of the build is low enough that you don’t have to feel bad about handing...

“Some might assume that China is the only reason why global extreme poverty has declined. But that’s wrong: many countries have seen dramatic reductions in poverty, too. Indonesia is one clear example; it’s shown alongside China on the chart. In 1984, 86% of Indonesians lived on less than $3 per day. By 2025, this had fallen to less than 4%. While it didn’t quite match China’s decline, it has still been impressive.” From Our World in Data.

“Scientists have assumed that an ice cliff’s stability depends on its height: Ice cliffs that are taller than 100 meters — about the height of the Statue of Liberty — should collapse under their own weight. And once a cliff sloughs off, it should expose even taller, inland cliffs that collapse in turn. At least, that’s been the idea. But researchers at MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found that the stability of an ice cliff depends on more than its height. And even when a cliff topples, it doesn’t necessarily set off a runaway collapse. In a study appearing today in Science, the team presents an analysis of over 15,000 ice cliffs in Antarctica that were monitored by...

Critical Internet keys changed this week. Did you notice?  The keys behind DNSSEC, the system for cryptographically validating DNS responses, rolled over on October 11 2026. This is the second time the DNSSEC keys have rotated since the system was implemented, and the first time in 2018 didn’t exactly go entirely smoothly.
DNS is what resolves a host name and turns it into an IP address. It underpins web browsing, email, and just about every other connection. It’s also a very early Internet protocol, written in both a simpler, less paranoid era, and an era where encryption was computationally expensive and legally problematic. DNS offers little protection against malicious actors spoofing responses, and...
