With nine Billboard 200 number one albums and stadium tours across three continents, Stray Kids ranks among the most successful K-pop groups.
This popularity also has its downsides. When the group or one of its members releases a new track, unofficial copies typically circulate within hours, and not only on the usual pirate sites.
Independent music distributors have made it surprisingly easy to get a song into legitimate stores. For a modest yearly fee, people can get access to services such as DistroKid, TuneCore, or Symphonic. Uploading a file through these distributors gets it listed on official music platforms such as Apple Music, where it appears among the music industry’s biggest stars, complete with...

Netbooks were a class of tiny laptops which hit their peak over a decade ago, with the idea being that you could use the Internet and do your computing on the move with ease. Unfortunately manufacturers were scared of them eating their profits from bigger computers, and they were invariably built to a very disappointing spec. That doesn’t lessen the appeal of small form factor laptops though, and [bob-foss] is here with a simple hack to make one.

Cette journaliste britannique décrit dans “The Guardian” une expérience quasi universelle : même lorsqu’on voudrait s’extirper de la course à la productivité, il nous est très difficile de rester oisifs quand l’occasion se présente. Et c’est bien dommage, explique-t-elle, avant de donner quelques pistes pour y remédier − sans se forcer.

Les scores en compréhension de l’écrit et en mathématiques des élèves de 15 ans n’ont jamais été aussi bas en France depuis 2000, comme dans les pays comparables. Parmi les raisons invoquées pour expliquer ce phénomène mondial, le rapport aux apprentissages, la place du numérique, les effets durables de la crise du Covid-19 et le désinvestissement des parents. En France, les fortes inégalités sociales et de genre persistent.

Xiaomi is the latest manufacturer to release a short, wide foldable phone, in the week Apple is expected to do the same. I got to try the 18 Fold behind closed doors at IFA last week, and while it looks and feels similar enough to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, superior specs make it feel like the phone I wish Samsung had made.
The 18 Fold is Xiaomi's first book-style foldable since 2024's Mix Fold 4, but the company has followed Huawei and Samsung in moving to a short, squat design. Xiaomi's phone goes further though: it's both shorter and wider than Samsung's, with a roughly 1.4:1 aspect ratio on both the 7.58-inch inner and 5.38-inch outer s …

J’ai déjà parlé des jeux sur iPod, en regrettant une chose : il n’y avait pas d’émulateur d’iPod. Mais Jean, un lecteur, a travaillé sur clicky, un émulateur open source conçu par Daniel Prilik, et il est maintenant capable d’émuler un iPod de 4e génération. Les travaux sur l’émulateur datent du début des années 2020 et le but ultime est d’émuler un iPod 5G ou 5.5G, les deux modèles qui possèdent de nombreux jeux. Pour le moment, c’est l’iPod 4G classique (noir et blanc) qui est de la partie. Jean m’a envoyé une version compilée du projet avec le nécessaire pour lancer le système d’exploitation de l’iPod, nommé RetailOS. Visiblement, le firmware est chiffré sur...

L’ancien commandant de l’armée serbe en Bosnie-Herzégovine, condamné par la justice internationale pour génocide, crimes contre l’humanité et crimes de guerre lors des conflits dans l’ex-Yougoslavie dans les années 1990, et mort dans la prison de La Haye, a été enterré lundi dans la capitale serbe.

Il y a 2 jours, GrapheneOS que vous connaissez tous parce que c'est l'Android que la police déteste, a détaillé une fonction baptisée secure paste, qui change la façon dont Android sert le contenu du presse-papiers aux applications. Le principe c'est qu'une application peut relire ce qu'elle a copié elle-même, mais rien de ce que les autres ont copié.
Android dans sa version de base n'est pas resté les bras croisés sur ce sujet, mais il s'est arrêté en chemin et depuis Android 10, seules l'application affichée à l'écran et le clavier par défaut peuvent lire le presse-papiers, ce qui a fermé la porte à celles qui tournent en arrière-plan. Puis Android 12 a ajouté une notification à la...

As great as echolocation is, things can get rather messy once it’s not just you chirping away, but also hundreds of your buddies in roughly the same area. This is the scenario that the typical colonies of bats have to deal with. In a recent study by [Haruhito Matsumoto] et al. in Journal of Comparative Physiology they investigated how colonies of greater Japanese horseshoe bats deal with this issue.
Echolocation in animals can use a variety of methods, including frequency modulation (FM, varying the pitch) or constant frequency (CF), with both having their uses during hunting as well as obstacle avoidance. One big advantage of CF is that it can be used for...

As easy as the Sun is to observe, it’s simultaneously very hard to study due to how extreme the conditions are, even on the surface of a rather unassuming star. One of these study topics is the interaction between the Sun’s plasma and magnetic field, as this drives much of the dynamism of the Sun’s surface layer (i.e., the photosphere). Recent observations by the 4-meter solar telescope in Hawaii have now led to interesting new findings, as detailed in a paper in Nature by [David Kuridze] et al.
Despite popular portrayal, this photosphere is not a boiling liquid, but rather pockets of plasma at various temperatures. The plasma moves within the magnetic field and convective movements that create the...

The Xiaomi 18 Fold and its Xring O3 chip. China is getting first crack at a British technology that might change how mobile games are made and played. Today, the Xiaomi 18 Fold launches in mainland China with an Arm Mali G2-Ultra NX graphics processor inside its custom Xring O3 chip. What's so special about that? After five years of development, Arm now has an AI gaming graphics accelerator inside its GPU.
By following Nvidia's playbook, Arm-powered phones are about to have PC-like technologies to make games run faster, at higher resolution, with advanced lighting techniques, all without using more power than they do today. The jagged edges you see in the mobile versions of popular …

Once upon a time, you had the option of waking up to a bell, a harsh buzzer, or whatever happened to be on the radio that morning. Now that it’s the 21st century, we’ve gotten used to being able to set our alarms to whatever sound or song we want, but what if you don’t just want to wake up to sound? Enter [Impossible_Agent1436] a.k.a. [brunokeymolen]’s Video Alarm Clock that will wake you up to whatever clip you want, as long as it fits on the 720 pixel square display.

When shopping for an electric vehicle, affordability is becoming a more common trait. But affordable and energy efficient is truly a rare breed. Often you have to sacrifice one for the other. Want something affordable? Great, here's a range loser. Want something that goes the distance? Be ready to pay the price. Surprisingly, here comes Audi to split the difference. The German automaker's new A2 E-tron compact crossover is inexpensive, starting at just £32,200 (about $45,000). And it absolutely impresses with an ultra low drag coefficient and a range of battery and drivetrain options that, when configured correctly, can produce a range of …

The earliest all-electronic computers used vacuum tubes, and most of us will know about machines such as ENIAC or Colossus. Vast machines that required the budget of a country at war to build, andfill very large rooms. It’s very pleasing then to see that a useful vacuum tube computer can be made which has neither of these requirements, as with this example from [Mike] that uses former eastern bloc double-triodes.
It’s an 8-bit design following a von Neumann architecture with 16 instructions, whose operational block diagram would be instantly recognisable to anyone used to working with a 1970s-era 8-bit microcomputer. It follows a NOR-based design in the same manner as the famous NASA machines from the...

The subject of using AI for blog posts is one that keeps coming up, whether it's writing posts entirely or "just" proof-reading.
Readers, generally, don't like it when writing becomes too AI apparent (in one survey 78% of technical readers said they stop reading if a post seems AI authored).
This is not an issue that I, as a writer, have ever run up against: I write because I enjoy the process, so it's never made sense for me to outsource any part of that to a chatbot. As a reader, though, I too find AI-written prose extremely frustrating to read.
One thing that I've often wondered about, is the extent to which "light" users of AI lose their voice.
My expectation is that a shift in voice would be almost...

“A German startup has launched the first commercial rocket to reach orbit from continental Europe, a milestone for Europe’s efforts to secure independent access to space. Isar Aerospace said on Sunday that it would rapidly ⁠expand satellite deployments after the ⁠first orbital launch of ​its uncrewed Spectrum rocket from Arctic Norway, marking a ⁠breakthrough for a region where several countries are seeking a foothold in the fast-growing market for satellite launches… It was Isar’s second launch, 18 months after the company’s first rocket plunged into the sea and exploded in a fiery spectacle shortly after takeoff from the same site. Isar has said it already has five more rockets in...

“The World Health Organization (WHO) has validated Bhutan’s elimination of dog-transmitted rabies as a public health problem in the country. Bhutan is the first country in the WHO South-East Asia Region to achieve this success. Rabies is a viral disease that is almost always fatal once clinical symptoms appear. However, rabies deaths are preventable. On one hand, vaccinating dogs curbs the disease at its source; on the other, prompt use of post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) stops the virus from reaching the central nervous system after a bite. PEP consists of thorough wound washing, administration of a course of human rabies vaccine and, when indicated, rabies immunoglobulins (RIG) injection.” From World...

Rubella infection during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or congenital rubella syndrome, a condition associated with lifelong birth defects.

Enlisting a little help from their friends, industrial designers Júlia Muñoz and Ferran Lajara created a cozy home in the Catalonian countryside with distinct spaces for their practices.What’s the secret to matrimonial harmony? For Júlia Muñoz and Ferran Lajara, it’s being able to live separately—with their own individual spaces—under one roof. The couple have been together for five years, and they first lived in an apartment in Barcelona, Spain—but they soon realized the shared-bedroom setup wasn’t working for them. When the Covid pandemic hit and remote work became the norm, the strain only increased. Both are industrial designers, and with work and home suddenly occupying the same space,...

The XM4C (in white) have the exact same visual design as the XM4 (in black) from 2020. | Photo: John Higgins / The Verge Six years ago Sony and Bose were in the middle of a noise-canceling battle, with each new model of headphones better than the last. In the fall of 2020, Sony released the WH-1000XM4 headphones to wide acclaim. They sat atop best headphones lists for years, thanks to their great sound, competitive ANC, and compact size, until they went out of stock. Now Sony has brought them back, with minor improvements, as the WH-1000XM4C.
The XM4C look identical to the original XM4 (although they now have a lavender option), with the same hinge design and ability to fold up. It's a compact design that Sony...

The River 260 Gen4 features a 256Wh capacity battery while the 520 Gen4 packs in 512Wh - storing about 2.5x and 5x the energy of the largest airline-approved power banks, respectively.
