Three new exhibitions illuminate how the Los Angeles architect shaped the Southland as we know it, not least of all by connecting our living spaces with the landscape.Picture Los Angeles the way the movies showed you: French doors pulled wide to blooming bougainvillea, a living room that steps straight onto a terrace, which then steps down to a pool. It’s a vision of the city the world fell for, and much of it is owed to the work of the late Paul R. Williams. If his name doesn’t ring a bell, his work will. The architect designed estates for Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant, Mrs. Robinson’s Palm Drive home from The Graduate, and, in Palm Springs, a desert modernist hideaway for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

What is Exchange Online? A guide to the Microsoft 365 email service behind Outlook, from mail flow and security to why its outages reach so many users

Common causes of cloud outages, from bad configuration changes to DNS and sign-in failures, explain why Microsoft services like Azure and Microsoft 365 sometimes go down

Microsoft 365 outage service credits exist, but businesses buying through a Cloud Solution Provider claim them via that provider, for the affected service only, prorated by outage length

The Radio Shack TRS-80 Colour Computer may never have achieved the sales volume of its competitors from Commodore or Apple, but it offered a surprisingly capable set of hardware. There were three versions, with the final one being a significant upgrade in many ways. There was no upgrade path for owners of version 1 and 2 machines to have a version 3 back in the day, but now thanks to [Felipe Antoniosi] such an upgrade is possible. How? With a Tang Nano 20K FPGA board, of course!
The CoCo 3 had a paged memory system for expansion up to 512k, as well as a significantly more capable graphics chip which while compatible with the original Motorola part offered enhanced graphics. The upgrade emulates these, and...

The first 25 original Xbox on PC games. | Image: Microsoft For the 25th anniversary of Xbox, Microsoft is beginning to make good on its paid "next-gen game preservation" promise. Starting today, you can play 25 different original Xbox games on your Windows PC, as long as you have (or are willing to pay) for digital copies. In July, Microsoft originally launched the idea with just four Xbox games, so 25 is progress, and Microsoft says all these games are now playable with keyboard and mouse.
Plus, Microsoft says it's adding achievements to original Xbox games for the first time, starting with four games: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Li …

For most people, just getting any old microcontroller or system on chip (SoC) from our favorite – or cheapest – vendor is more than good enough. But if you’re really into high assurance computing where every transistor has to be accounted for, you got a bit of a problem. This is basically why [Andrew “Bunnie” Huang] pitched in and had the Baochip-1x produced. This SoC’s design is based heavily on the FPGA-based CPU in the Precursor device, which itself is claimed to be a fully verifiable communicator design. Since it does have an MMU, you can run any software on it that supports the RV32IMAC RISC-V instruction set, with a Coder’s Guide available for those who might feel interested in this SoC,...

Years ago, I wrote an article describing different I2C-on-a-connector ecosystems, explaining their strengths, weaknesses, and implementation details, as well as piling on a heap of fun stories. Looking back at it, it’s a great reference article, if I do say so myself. In particular, I highlighted QWIIC, which is a Sparkfun-borne standard for putting 3.3 V I2C on a JST-SH (or compatible) 4-pin connector.
I’ve since implemented a fair bit of QWIIC, and grew to like it so much more. I’m here to explain to you why you ought to be putting those JST-SH connectors in everything you design that touches I2C, all the cool things they let you do, where to buy a lot of cheap cables at once, and all the references...

Le cofondateur du géant américain des semi-conducteurs a démissionné, ce jeudi 12 novembre, après la révélation de deux liaisons extraconjugales, l’une avec une espionne chinoise présumée, l’autre avec une dirigeante de Nvidia. Ses pairs de la Silicon Valley et le président Trump avaient pourtant tout fait pour protéger celui qui a fait de son entreprise la pièce centrale de la course à l’intelligence artificielle, raconte “The Atlantic” dans un article publié avant son départ.

[Nozomi] travels with a Nintendo Switch 2, but the official dock is bulky and doesn’t seem to be made for travel. USB-C hubs with displays are common, but they won’t work with the Switch. Not without a little hacking, anyway.
It was obvious that the hub wasn’t too far off. It will charge the Switch, so Power Delivery was working. A sniffer showed that even the DisplayPort initialization happened. A little flashing on the hub allowed it to complete the proprietary protocol, and that made TV mode work, but HDR was washed out. [Nozomi] theorized it was a mismatched color space, so that required a patch for a different chip. Another flash forces the right color tag for HDR TV, but there would have to be...

Navigation is easy these days, as we’ve entire complex computerized mapping systems and radio-based positioning systems to find ourselves anywhere on Earth. It might seem simple to use GPS these days, even trivial, but billions of dollars are what it took to make that happen.

Deux ans après le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, les électeurs américains ont largement sanctionné son camp.

Earlier this year, we reported how scammers allegedly abused Meta’s Rights Manager to claim other creators’ videos and hit their accounts with copyright strikes.
Regular DMCA takedown notices can do similar damage. Meta’s takedown emails remind users that it terminates the accounts of repeat infringers “when appropriate,” which turns false notices into an effective weapon.
