The Internet Archive has posted 2,500 rare punk tapes, including Nirvana's 1989 performance and previously unknown recordings from Sonic Youth and R.E.M. Volunteers digitize and clean up the tapes, making them sound great despite being recorded with mediocre equipment.
The Orange Pi 6 Plus, a board with a CIX P1 SoC, showed promising hardware but struggled with software issues, requiring custom OS images and vendor-specific GPU and NPU userspace. Despite these challenges, the board proved usable for local AI work, with some models and runtimes performing well, but its high power draw and loud fan made it less attractive as a low-traffic always-on appliance.
The author reflects on the current AI hype and the value of reverse engineering, which involves understanding a design to reproduce and adapt it. The author shares personal experiences with reverse engineering, including the Bulgarian Правец computer and the ISCAS-85 benchmarks, highlighting its importance in understanding technology.
The author is warning against trusting the cloud for storing valuable data, calling it a sucker's game where users give away their work and time without control or understanding. They advise making personal copies of data and not relying solely on cloud services.
The FCC granted Netgear conditional approval to import routers despite not manufacturing in the US. The approval doesn't address the original national security concerns and seems to contradict the FCC's process.

Users 65+ struggle with remembering login credentials and navigating complex auth flows. A simple, one-click login option like passwordless auth or social login with minimal redirects could improve UX.
The traditional way of teaching fifth normal form (5NF) is confusing and unnecessary, and a more logical approach is to start with business requirements and create a physical table schema using a textbook table design strategy. Two patterns of physical table design follow naturally: the AB-BC-AC triangle and the ABC+D star pattern, both of which are fully normalized and do not require 5NF ...
Clojure's persistent vectors use balanced, ordered trees to achieve O(1) runtime for appends, updates, lookups, and subvec operations while maintaining persistence. The tree structure is shallow due to a high branching factor, allowing for "effectively" constant time modifications and lookups, although technically O(log32 n).
Chrome introduces Skills, a feature that lets users save and reuse AI prompts with a single click. Saved Skills can be edited and used across multiple tabs for tasks like recipe substitutions and gift selection.
California's A.B. 2047 bill will criminalize open-source 3D printer use and impose censorship, hurting innovation and consumer choice. This legislation risks surveillance, platform lock-in, and stifling grassroots creativity, with unintended consequences extending beyond California's borders.
NASA has been working on space toilets for decades, with early designs being rudimentary and often causing problems for astronauts, but recent advancements have improved the systems, especially for the International Space Station. However, the challenge of designing a reliable and safe toilet for a Mars mission is significant, requiring consideration of factors like radiation, gravity, and ...

Apple privately threatened to remove Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence app, Grok, from its App Store in January after Musk’s xAI failed to do enough to stop it from creating nude or sexualized deepfakes, Apple told senators in a letter that was obtained by NBC News.
OpenSSL updates include removing SSLv3 support, engines, and deprecated elliptic curves, while adding support for RFC 8998 and post-quantum groups. FIPS self tests can now be deferred during installation.
Microsoft temporarily blocked our emails to Hotmail, Live, MSN, and Outlook users due to a rate limit, but it was later resolved after we implemented a Redis-backed throttler to control our sending rate. The issue was likely caused by a spike in email traffic from our IPs, which Microsoft's algorithms flagged as suspicious, and we are considering warming up an IP solely for transactional ...
