Labor Day weekend has finally arrived, and after a week of early discounts trickling in, the sales are now in full swing. From big-screen OLED TVs and outdoor gear to back-to-school essentials like the latest MacBook Air, we rounded up a guide of almost 100 deals we think are worth your time and money. But we get it. In times of tariffs and inflation, spending a couple a hundred dollars on a new gadget isn’t always feasible, and many of the sales we wrote about in our larger Labor Day deals roundup may not feel accessible. Luckily, some of the best deals cost under $100. To make them easier to find, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites, which include everything from the latest Kindle, the entry-level...

There's a pleasing rhythm to cozy life sims. The virtual days pass, filled with chores of tending crops or running a business, punctuated by strange mysteries or evolving relationships. At their best, these games merge busywork with exploration and storytelling, in a way that makes them hard to step away from. Discounty, from developer Crinkle Cut Games, applies this idea to running a small-town supermarket. And while in many ways it can still be considered "cozy" like its contemporaries, it also comes with a bit of bite.
Instead of starting up your own business from scratch, Discounty has you taking over a grocery franchise from your crank …

When a Waymo pulls up and parks in front of her home on a residential street in West Los Angeles, 10-year-old Morgan rushes to the window.
"The Waymo is home!" she says, calling to her parents, Lisa Delgin and Zach Tucker.
It is by no means the first time a Waymo has come "home" to this particular spot. Last year, a Waymo robotaxi dropped Delgin and Tucker off after a New Year's Eve party and idled there for several minutes until it took off for the next ride. Since then, Waymos have been parking in that same spot, day after day, sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours.
"It would always come back here, like a beacon," Delgin said. "Lik …

If you’ve never used a PDP-11 before it’s probably because you simply weren’t around in the 70s and 80s. Although they started as expensive machines only in research labs and industry, they eventually became much more accessible. They’re a bit of a landmark in computing history, too, being largely responsible for the development of things like UNIX and the C programming language. [ryomuk] is using an FPGA in combination with an original DEC J-11 to bring us a new take on this machine. (Google Translate from Japanese)
The FPGA used in this build is a Tang Nano 20k, notable for its relatively low cost. The FPGA emulates the memory system and UART of a PDP-11 system down to the instruction set, while the...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of course, if you have a scanning electron microscope, measuring particle size is straightforward. But for less well-equipped labs, a dynamic light scattering system, such as [Etienne]’s OpenDLS, fits the bill.Dynamic light scattering works by shining a laser beam into a suspension of fine particles, then using a light sensor to measure the intensity of light scattered onto a certain point. As the particles undergo Brownian motion, the intensity of the scattered light changes. Based on the speed with which the...

In recent years, rightsholders of major sports events have repeatedly complained that piracy of live sports has gone through the roof.
Many have called on politicians to tighten legislation and urged law enforcement to take the problem much more seriously.
The issues are no different in Norway, where streaming service Viaplay is facing a surge in piracy. According to a recent survey by Mediavision, 1.25 million Norwegians, or 30% of the population aged 15-74, use illegal streaming services every month. IPTV piracy is particularly problematic. Research shows that 14% of all Norwegian households subscribe to an unauthorized IPTV service. That’s an increase of 40% compared to a year earlier.

As we all look across a sea of lifeless, nearly identically-styled consumer goods, a few of us have become nostalgic for a time when products like stereo equipment, phones, appliances, homes, cars, and furniture didn’t all look indistinguishable. Computers suffered a similar fate, with nearly everything designed to be flat and minimalist with very little character. To be sure there are plenty of retro computing projects to recapture nostalgia, but to get useful, modern hardware in a fun, retro-themed case check out this desktop build from [Mar] that hides a few unique extras.

Ce matin, j’ai lu un truc qui m’a fait tilter. Vous saviez que Super Mario 64, ce chef-d’œuvre absolu qui a changé le jeu vidéo à tout jamais, était en fait un gouffre à mémoire sur Nintendo 64 ? C’est un programmeur nommé Kaze Emanuar s’est amusé à disséquer le code source et les résultats de son analyse sont plutôt… surprenants.
Pour comprendre l’ampleur du problème, il faut se replacer dans le contexte. La N64 avait 4 Mo de RDRAM rapide. Pour vous donner une idée, c’est à peine la taille d’une photo prise avec votre smartphone aujourd’hui. Et dans ces 4 Mo, il fallait caser les textures, le code, la musique, les buffers de sortie et les états des acteurs. Autant dire que...

Birds are pretty amazing creatures, and one of the most amazing things about them and their non-avian predecessors are feathers. Engineers and scientists are finding inspiration from them in surprising ways.
The light weight and high strength of feathers has inspired those who look to soar the skies, dating back at least as far as Ancient Greece, but the multifunctional nature of these marvels has led to advancements in photonics, thermal regulation, and acoustics. The water repellency of feathers has also led to interesting new applications in both food safety and water desalination beyond the obvious water repellent clothing.

Wood is an amazing material to use around the house, both for its green credentials and the way it looks and feels. That said, as a natural product there are a lot of microorganisms and insects around that would love to take a few good nibbles out of said wood, no matter whether it’s used for fencing, garden furniture or something else. For fencing in particular wood treatments are therefore applied that seek to deter or actively inhibit these organisms, but as the UK bloke over at the [Rag ‘n’ Bone Brown] YouTube channel found out last year, merely slapping on a coating of wood preserver may actually make things worse.
For the experiment three tests were set up, each with an untreated, self-treated and...

Here’s one for the “seemed like a good idea at the time” files. Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, shrewdly sold Netflix a package of films during the height of the COVID pandemic when theaters were closed. The thing is, one of those films turned out to be the global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters. Having just hit theaters for a two-day run on Saturday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, Aug 24, the sing-along screenings of the animated film about a KPop girl group that also hunts… well, you know… are estimated to have pulled in roughly $18 million at the box office .

Director Brady Corbet's Golden Globe winning film The Brutalist tackles the oft-toxic relationship between art and commerce. It’s a subject that Corbet and his wife and writing partner, Mona Fastvold, know from experience. “Our story is not particularly unique,” says Corbet. “If you speak to any filmmaker, they will cite an experience they had working with someone who had very, very different ethics or values than they did. And I think that it's very complicated, because your job as a filmmaker is to protect the flame and make sure that it doesn't burn out.” Corbet and Fastvold detail the seven-year battle to get their Post War epic to the big screen, explaining their audacious decision to make a...

As one of the cofounders behind Oculus Story Studio, Edward Saatchi knows how hard it can be to sell people on new tech that bills itself as revolutionary. Even though Story Studio snagged an Emmy for one of its three animated features, a general lack of public interest in VR movies led Meta to shutter Oculus Story Studio back in 2017. The VR era has come and gone, but Saatchi is confident that Showrunner, his new pivot to generative AI that just received an influx of cash from Amazon, can succeed.

Every platform wants to be the place you hang with friends — even Spotify as of this week — so it’s apparently time for TikTok to shore up its direct messaging feature! It told TechCrunch that over the next few weeks, all users should see voice messages and image sharing options arrive in their DMs. (They won’t show up for accounts that can’t DM to begin with, of course — “Direct Messaging is only available to accounts 16 years and older which means these features are only available to those accounts,” TikTok spokesperson JaShel Jones clarifies to The Verge.) I checked, and sure enough, I can send both, as well as videos up to one minute long (though that last has been possible for a while)....
