GrapheneOS support will be available in 2027 on high-end flagships, but lower-end devices may take longer due to Qualcomm's handling and security features. Motorola needs to pay for longer updates below flagship devices.
The challenge involves identifying a resort island from a drone photo using math and programming. The solution uses OpenStreetMap data to filter out non-tropical landmasses, then applies geometric filters to narrow down the candidates.
OpenLogi is a native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, allowing users to remap buttons and drive DPI without account or telemetry. It features an interactive mouse diagram with clickable hotspots and supports various platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows.
Use hands or phone gyro to control sound volume and pitch in mid-air, with a laptop webcam also working. Press start on a mouse to calibrate the device for your grip.

The author found a decades-old bug in Algorithm D from Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" while implementing it, which led to a counterexample that carried their name. The algorithm was later corrected by the book's author, Donald Knuth.
A new registry called Palomar is open for submissions of Lean verified mathematics, which checks formal proofs for typechecking and semantic accuracy. The registry aims to provide a platform for external Lean code repositories with human-readable descriptions and proofs.
A 3D fruit fly simulation runs on macOS desktops, mimicking real fly behavior with a live spiking simulation of the FlyWire connectome. The interactive fly can be stimulated by clicking regions to trigger escape, grooming, or other actions based on real neuron locations and connections.
IKEA names its products based on Swedish identity, heritage and values, following two simple rules. The company uses descriptive names in local languages for services and functions while using unique Swedish words for cultural expressions.
Modular has released its production-ready platform, supporting various hardware types and powering enterprise deployments. The company is expanding the platform's ecosystem with new partners and features, including open-source Mojo language and native Windows support.
WinV offers a compact, searchable clipboard history with offline emoji and Unicode pickers, keyboard navigation, and private mode. It prioritizes local clipboard data storage and simplicity, encouraging forks for customization and improvement.
SoLo is a tool that builds static Linux binaries with the ability to load and use system GPU drivers, bypassing traditional dependency management issues. It achieves this by embedding its own ELF loader and ABI bridge, allowing it to dynamically load host DSOs without relying on glibc or other container solutions.
A 25-year-old patent on MPEG-4 Part 2 has expired, allowing Linux users to freely distribute and play back videos without worrying about royalties. This milestone marks the end of a legal issue that had restricted the use of certain video formats in Linux distributions.
The first social network, Finger, was created in 1971 at Stanford University and allowed users to share their status updates with others. It remains a simple yet functional protocol that has been revived in recent years with modern implementations like Happy Net Box and plan.cat.
Update: I saw a bunch of comments asking *how* I got Claude to do this - I usually say there's not really a hack for it, you just work with it, convey thoughts decently and try out things with educated guesses until it sticks with these projects. But I actually went ahead and
A 9th-century shipwreck in Vietnam's Binh Chau province yielded a diverse range of ceramics, including Changsha painted wares and Yue greenware. The cargo is similar to that from the Tang Belitung wreck but shows distinct Southeast Asian shipbuilding technology.
Scientists found that young children in London whose lung growth was stunted by pollution showed significant improvements after the introduction of an Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) in 2019. The study, which followed over 3,400 primary school children for five years, suggests that local clean air zones can help reduce harm caused by pollution during childhood.
TurboVec is a Rust vector index that fits 10 million documents into 4 GB of RAM, outperforming FAISS in search speed. It uses Google Research's TurboQuant algorithm for near-optimal distortion and no separate training phase.
Amazon's search ads distort results, prioritizing sellers' budgets over product quality and customer needs. This system creates a cycle of inefficiency, driving up costs for consumers and stifling innovation in the market.
Strap in, this story involves a cheese fortune teller, the department of war, and nearly every other government department in between. In 2017 (I think?) I was introduced to weather balloon hunting by Mark VK5QI. At the time the Australian balloon chasing community was small. Only Melbourne and Adelaide radiosondes (the transmitter on weather balloons) were being tracked on a website called ...
This tool analyzes Sierra SCI games for softlocks, which are states where the game is unplayable but still accepts input. It derives and verifies guards to prevent these softlocks by analyzing guarded room transitions, item movements, and plot-flag writes.
The report analyzes AI adoption and usage in software development teams using Linear, finding that AI has become an integral part of product development workflows, with significant increases in time spent on tasks like creating, triaging, and commenting. Despite concerns about productivity gains, the data suggests that teams are working more rather than less due to AI adoption, with output ...
A mobile network operator in Egypt was forced to send pro-regime messages during a political revolution, raising questions about following orders and obeying unjust laws.
