We were excited to see [Z0hn]’s project about 3D printing a custom watch from scratch — both because it was an exciting idea, and because the pictures looked great. While we still liked the project, we quickly realized it wasn’t really printing a watch so much as it was printing a case that holds an off-the-shelf movement. But it still looked great.
Many homebrew watches are cool and fine to wear to your next hackerspace board meeting. But this watch wouldn’t raise an eyebrow out among the normal public. Conventional watches use press-fit backs, tiny screws, or make the back screw into the housing. None of those are great for 3D printing, so this watch uses a bayonet connector, which is easy to create,...

Asha Sharma. | Image: The Verge, Microsoft Microsoft is preparing to lay off a significant chunk of its Xbox division and is reevaluating the plans for its next-generation Project Helix console. It's apparently also considering dramatically restructuring its relationship with Xbox, and hasn't ruled out spinning it off into a separate company. A new report from The Information suggests that Microsoft has considered some dramatic measures to make its Xbox unit more sustainable. That includes turning it into a wholly owned subsidiary, a joint venture, or even spinning it off entirely, with the possibility of selling the business. The report doesn't suggest anything is imminent, but it …

Le cinéaste, pourtant connu pour ses positions anti-Nétanyahou, a dû annuler sa participation au jury du Festival international du film de Marseille face aux appels au boycott. Un retrait forcé qui suscite une vive controverse. Dans le quotidien israélien “Ha’Aretz”, Libby Lenkinski, proche de Nadav Lapid, dénonce la logique à l’œuvre derrière ce boycott et “la rapidité avec laquelle un être humain complexe a été réduit à la catégorie à laquelle il appartient”.

I turned off Siri on the Mac years ago and never looked back. Similarly, I found Apple Intelligence so fruitless I never engage with it. But the new Siri AI coming to macOS 27 Golden Gate has at least got me slightly rethinking things.
I'm still early in testing Siri AI, as I've only had access to it in the macOS 27 developer beta for little more than 24 hours. It's also in an early preview state on the dev beta, so there should be lots of runway for improvements before it releases later this year. I don't even know if it's done indexing my files and folders on our review unit M5 MacBook Air and M5 Max MacBook Pro. Unlike on the iOS 27 dev …

I studied physics in college, and I’m always surprised how fundamental some of the concepts are. Take waves for example. You really wouldn’t expect the same underlying concept to be at work on surface of a pond, the string of a guitar, light passing through two slits, and then in the probabilistic behavior of electrons orbiting inside nuclei. But here we are, in a world filled with wave-like phenomena.
What little control theory I know, I’ve learned in the school of hard knocks. But it’s equally amazing that the same basic concepts govern the tuning of car shock absorbers, PID controllers, active audio filters, and other more complex systems where feedback matters. Crucial in all of these systems is...

When I returned to my computer five minutes after giving Gemini a lengthy prompt, I had two things: a functional app in a preview window, and a message about a bug.
"~ Channel is unrecoverably broken and will be disposed!" Sounded bad! But right below it was a button to fix the bug. Pretty weird that I just instructed a computer to build a whole app for me with a single prompt, but it needed me to click a button to fix a bug. I did anyway, and in 233 seconds Gemini reported back that it had succeeded, using words like "blockages" and "race conditions." I didn't understand a bit of it. It was thrilling.
This was my second or third attempt a …

E-ink displays have a number of advantages over other display types, but their refresh rate isn’t one of them. But what exactly makes them slow? According to [Wenting Zhang], it’s not an inherent limitation of the technology. It’s mainly the controller, and this limitation can be overcome to create a high-resolution 60 Hz refresh rate E-ink display, totally suitable for use as a computer monitor.
The reason E-ink displays are so slow is simple. For a long time, they existed for only one purpose: to be screens for e-readers. They had to work on devices that were generally low power, with limited interfaces and slow processors. Accommodating these factors was the primary driver behind the high latency and...

As part of that ongoing effort, the world of esoteric operating systems is always on the radar, even though many of them are unlikely to fulfill the Daily Driver requirement.
Even so, sometimes we see an OS that we like, and so it is with [Luke8086]’s GentleOS. It’s an operating system — or to be pedantic — a kernel shell into which applications are compiled, for older 16 and 32-bit x86 computers with a very low hardware requirement. It brings a simplicity to older PCs that we like.

Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism rarely names the pirate sites it helps shut down, and its June 12 announcement was no exception. It redacted the three high-profile target domains as “Hari***,” “Manhwa***” and “Kun***.”
These match the names of three well-known manhwa aggregators: Harimanga, Manhwaclan and Kunmanga, all of which started having access problems in late May, right when Vietnamese police seized their servers. Initially it wasn’t clear why the sites suddenly went offline, but the authorities confirmed that this was the result of a large enforcement operation that has been in the works for a long time.
The three sites have reportedly been operated by a Vietnamese...

ESP32-S3 board with VGA and audio output during development. (Credit: Ivan Svarkovsky)
The ESP32-S3 is by many metrics quite the powerful little computer, which has led to it being used even for things like emulating retro consoles and similar. Here [Ivan Svarkovsky]’s S3-MSX-PC project pushes the envelope by taking the multi-system Retro-Go project’s MSX component and optimizing it for the ESP32-S3’s Xtensa Lx7 CPU cores.
The project involves an ESP32-S3 as the core, requiring at least 8 MB of PSRAM (N16R8 configuration) to match the tested configuration. Any software is loaded into PSRAM before it’s executed, with the MSX1, MSX2 and MSX2+ supported.

Listen to the podcast or read the full transcript here. You have a recent piece in Law & Liberty called “Gilded Glory.” It starts off by noting that the Gilded Age is having something of a political moment. People are very interested in this time period, and they keep comparing it to our present one. What is going on with that? Commentators are making a historical analogy between the Gilded Age—which refers to the post-Civil War generation and a half, maybe 1865 to 1910—and the present. The term “Gilded Age” implies that there were fantastic fortunes being made, and everyone else was scrambling. And it seems maybe that’s what we’re going through today with Elon Musk and everyone else. Now, I...

The approval was based on results from the VERITAC-2 trial, which compared vepdegestrant to Faslodex (chemical name: fulvestrant). The results showed that vepdegestrant was more effective for people with metastatic estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with an ESR1 mutation that grew while being treated with hormonal therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
