Microsoft is on a mission to fix Windows 11, and part of that involves improving the often-frustrating Windows Update experience. While you'll soon be able to pause updates indefinitely, Microsoft is also adding a new feature that automatically rolls back problematic drivers that have been installed through Windows Update.
Microsoft has created a new "Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery" feature that can replace a faulty driver installed on a PC with a previously working driver through Windows Update. Right now, Windows 11 users have to manually roll back a driver or hardware vendors have to publish a new one to work around any problems, but th …

[Mellow_Labs] picked up a few LiDAR matrix sensors and found them very exciting. While a normal time-of-flight sensor can accurately determine a range,  the matrix sensor is like an array of 64 sensors that can build a 2D map of distances from 2 cm to 3.5 m. [Mellow] wanted to add the sensor to his robot to help it see what was in front of it. You can see how it worked out in the video below.
The robot in question is Zippy, a 3D printed tank-like robot with an ESP32. By default, the robot requires control inputs, but using the sensor will enable autonomous operation. For good or ill, the sensor mounted to Zippy was seeing the floor with about half of the rows. That means about 50% of the data went to waste....

Il y a quelques années, j’avais parlé des sous-titres analogiques dans les cassettes VHS en PAL. Le CC line 22 (MovieText chez les Allemands) est plutôt rare dans nos contrées : le CC est quelque chose de courant aux Etats-Unis, mais pas en Europe. Dans un commentaire sur YouTube, une personne m’avait indiqué qu’elle avait un magnétoscope avec un décodeur intégré, et j’en ai finalement trouvé un. Le CC line 22 est rare, donc, mais le principe reste le même que la version NTSC (line 21) : des données dans le VBI, c’est-à-dire la zone invisible à l’écran. À ma connaissance, la technologie n’a été employée que sur des cassettes VHS en Europe, mais c’est assez difficile de le...

Fire arrow versus the recreated fire dart. (Credit: Tod’s Workshop, YouTube)
The Mary Rose was a carrack in the English Tudor Navy of King Henry VIII  that fought in multiple battles during the 16th century before it was sunk in 1545. After its wreck was located in 1971 and raised in 1982 the ship and all the items contained within the partially preserved hull became the focus of intense study. Among these items are the weaponry found, including the cannons, but also massive darts that seemed to have been designed for an incendiary payload. Recently [Tod’s Workshop] collaborated with others to test these presumed incendiary darts.

If you’ve watched a Saturn V launch, you’ve probably seen how a large rocket will often jettison a stage on the way up. There are several reasons for this — there is no reason to haul an empty fuel container, for example. However, you can probably imagine how the separation works. You release something — probably explosive bolts — and gravity pulls the old stage away from you as you climb on the next stage’s engines. But what about on the way back? The command module drops the service module before reentry. [Apollo11Space] has a video explaining just how complicated that was to pull off. You can watch it below.
The main problem? The service module has almost everything you need: oxygen, a big...

If you’ve been interested in FreeCAD but haven’t known where to start, here’s a wonderful video tutorial for FreeCAD 1.1 by [Deltahedra] aimed squarely at how to model a 3D part from scratch while also following best engineering practices for part design. It focuses on a concise and meaningful workflow that respects your time and doesn’t make assumptions about skill level. It even starts by taking a few moments to explain how to navigate the interface, a courtesy many will appreciate.
FreeCAD can do quite a lot, so a tutorial that focuses on a specific yet broadly-applicable task with a clear context is a great way to narrow the scope into something manageable, and be comprehensive without getting...

In its announcement, Microsoft says you can "select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don't." The company is retiring Copilot Mode as well, which could similarly draw information from your tabs but offered some agentic features, like the ability to book a reservation on your behalf.

The Trump administration is fighting for the right to keep some social media moderation advocates out of the US. On Wednesday, US District Court Judge James Boasberg heard arguments in a lawsuit between the nonprofit Coalition for Independent Technology Research (CITR) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other Trump administration officials. The suit concerns a policy that allows restricting visas to foreign officials who "demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies." The CITR is arguing for a preliminary injunction blocking the policy, which the State Department already referenced when it sanctioned fiv …

For the first time, AMD is including its 3D V-Cache tech in its commercial workstation processors with a refreshed line of Ryzen PRO 9000 series chips. Up until now, AMD's 3D V-Cache chips have mainly been geared toward gamers, but they've also gotten better at creative tasks over recent years. In our review of the Ryzen 9 9950X3D last year, Tom Warren crowned it "the best CPU for both gaming and creator tasks," noting that it "greatly improves creator workloads" compared to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. According to AMD, the 3D V-Cache tech will be useful for "complex, data-intensive workloads such as simulation, rendering and real-time visualizat …

ISTA “Crusher”
In the Dune mythos, “fear is the mind-killer.” But what kills fear? ISTA have an answer: “love is the fear crusher.” “Crusher” is sunny and unapologetically corny in its messaging, so much so that I think it loops around to non-corny. The sound is buzzy and super saturated, applying a very mid -90s alt-rock palette to a specifically mid-00s style of cheery alt-rock energy. There’s no way to express something like this without being earnest, but being earnest doesn’t mean you’re being naive and dopey, especially not in an era as fearful and loveless as the one we’re in at the moment.
