Long before ships sailed the oceans or factories hunted whales for oil, humans living near the Bay of Biscay were already using these massive sea creatures for survival. A new study has shown that as far back as 20,000 years ago, people were making tools out of whale bones. This discovery changes how we think about early coastal life and gives us fresh clues about the ancient ocean environment. The research was led by scientists from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), along with partners from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of British Columbia. The findings were published in Nature Communications,...

WhatsApp can now call on Meta AI to summarize your personal chats. As shown in a GIF, you can access it by tapping the button to unfurl all of your unread messages in a chat. But instead of showing your messages, WhatsApp uses Meta AI to generate a bulleted summary of what you missed. The feature is rolling out in English in the US, with plans to launch in more countries and languages later this year. It uses Meta’s Private Processing technology, which the company claims will prevent it and other third parties from snooping on your messages. WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, says its AI message summaries are optional, and the feature is turned off by default. You can also use WhatsApp’s “Advanced...

Signify has announced price increases for its Philips Hue smart lighting and accessories starting on July 1st due to US tariffs. As for how much the products will go up in price, that hasn’t been confirmed, but the Hue Wall Washer that was recently launched is 10 percent more expensive than its price in the EU, which may offer an indication of what to expect.

The Social Network is finally getting a sequel courtesy of Sony. Deadline reports that Sony is moving forward with The Social Network Part II, a “follow-up” to David Fincher’s 2010 feature about how TheFacebook went on to become one of the most singularly influential websites in internet history and made Mark Zuckerberg a billionaire in the process. Though Fincher is not attached to the new movie, Aaron Sorkin — who wrote the first — is coming back to write and direct Part II. No production timelines or casting announcements have been made, but Sorkin will produce the project alongside Todd Black, Peter Rice, and Stuart Besser. While much of The Social Network was based on Ben Mezrich’s The...

Selling pirate IPTV subscriptions has always been illegal and after the EU’s top court confirmed as much in 2017, consuming unlicensed content is illegal too. Nevertheless, these offenses are typically treated differently.
Once identified, those who operate or sell access to illicit services are unlikely to get a free pass. Yet subscribers to those services have almost always walked away completely unscathed. Limited Time For Success
The difference isn’t just about supply being more serious. Since fines and similar measures punish those directly responsible for those alleged lost sales reported so often, a successful outcome necessarily means getting those same people back on side and spending...

Apple’s next-generation CarPlay is splitting the auto world down the middle. Several automakers are eagerly lining up to adopt the newly immersive CarPlay Ultra, which takes over more screens and includes embedded vehicle features like speedometers, heating and cooling, and radio functions. Others are flatly refusing to allow it, while the rest are taking a wait-and-see approach. All this comes courtesy of a report in the Financial Times, which previews Apple’s rough road ahead as it pushes adoption for its splashy, more demanding phone projection system. As The Verge reported back in 2022, when Apple first revealed its more expansive CarPlay, most automakers were hesitant to commit to letting CarPlay...

Plastic debris is now a troubling reality in oceans and along shorelines worldwide. From tiny microplastics to large waste items, plastic pollution threatens marine life, ecosystems, and even local economies. Animals suffer fatal entanglements, digestive system blockages, and toxic chemical exposure. Communities also face declining tourism and property values, highlighting the urgent need to manage plastic waste effectively. According to global estimates, marine plastic damage costs society over $100 billion annually. To tackle this problem, countries around the world have enacted policies targeting single-use plastics, especially thin plastic shopping bags, a common pollutant found along shorelines. More than...

We haven’t seen any projects from serial experimenter [Les Wright] for quite a while, and honestly, we were getting a little worried about that. Turns out we needn’t have fretted, as [Les] was deep into this exploration of the Pockels Effect, with pretty cool results.
If you’ll recall, [Les]’s last appearance on these pages concerned the automated creation of huge, perfect crystals of KDP, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate. KDP crystals have many interesting properties, but the focus here is on their ability to modulate light when an electrical charge is applied to the crystal. That’s the Pockels Effect, and while there are commercially available Pockels cells available for use mainly as optical...

Dbrand will send replacement Killswitch Joy-Con Grips for the Switch 2 to buyers after admitting it had a “spectacularly terrible response” to complaints that the controllers could detach from the console if held a certain way while the grips were on. The company is currently working on tweaks to the grips as well. A few days ago, some owners of the case noticed that the Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers could pop off if you had the case and grips on and held the console primarily by a Joy-Con. This short video helps illustrate the issue.

At the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA), terra cotta tiles hang from the ceiling, floating almost angelically. They’re suspended by rebar, creating a serene staircase. For photographer and sculptor Jackie Castillo’s latest installation, “ Through the Descent, Like the Return ,” she collaborated with her father Roberto, an engineer who immigrated to the U.S. from Guadalajara in the 1980s. Their work is commentary on LA, immigrants, and working-class people. The idea for the tiles was rooted in 2017, Castillo explains, when she was walking in her Mid-Wilshire neighborhood and heard “the piercing shattering of ceramics.” Laborers were re-roofing a home. “As they flung these...

Mercredi 25 juin, le sommet des pays de l’Organisation du traité de l’Atlantique Nord s’est conclu par une déclaration conjointe par laquelle les États membres se sont engagés à investir 5 % de leur PIB dans la défense à l’horizon 2035.

In 1980, a single male grasshopper was collected on the island of São Nicolau in Cape Verde. No one knew then that this moment would mark the only sighting of a species that would soon be considered lost forever. The insect, Eyprepocprifas insularis, or the Monte Gordo Grasshopper, was described by scientists working on a French research program studying locusts in the Sahel. Despite returning to the island several times over the next few years, the team never saw the grasshopper again. With no further sightings and no preserved population, scientist Dr. Michel Lecoq officially declared it extinct in 1996. But nature had other plans. Over four decades later, in January 2023, two biologists, Rob Felix and...

Quel projet engageras-tu pour donner un sens profond à ta vie ?

Builder Nick Maimone drew on his artistic background and the ’60s counterculture movement as he reenvisioned a home set where the Russian River meets the Pacific in Northern California.Welcome to Beach Week, our annual celebration of the best place on Earth.

Yaya Bey “Spin Cycle”
Most of our modern rom-coms are more about wealth than they are about romance or comedy, and a lot of our modern R&B songs aren’t that different, with an overt fixation on luxury. And I get it – it’s a fantasy, and material concerns aren’t irrelevant to love or sex. But it’s great to hear a song like “Spin Cycle,” which is specifically about how hard it can be to maintain a loving sexual relationship when one or both people involved is constantly working just to get by. I didn’t notice the lyrics of “Spin Cycle” right away because I was mostly focusing on the gentle sensuality of its lovers rock groove and Yaya Bey’s beyond-silky vocal tone. The music and lyrics...

If you ever look at projects in an old magazine and compare them to today’s electronic projects, there’s at least one thing that will stand out. Most projects in “the old days” looked like something you built in your garage. Today, if you want to make something that rivals a commercial product, it isn’t nearly as big of a problem.

For example, consider the picture of this project from Popular Electronics in 1970. It actually looks pretty nice for a hobby project, but you’d never expect to see it on a store shelf.

It’s called leadership.

A microscopic parasite quietly infects the brains of millions worldwide. Known scientifically as Toxoplasma gondii, this tiny invader silently alters brain function without obvious symptoms. Beneath this stealth lies a complex interaction with brain cells, highlighting new health risks previously underestimated. Nearly one-third of Americans carry Toxoplasma gondii, often unaware they harbor the parasite. Usually contracted from undercooked meat or contact with cat feces, the infection rarely causes obvious illness in healthy people. However, this parasite can form long-lasting cysts inside brain cells, specifically neurons, quietly disrupting essential brain communications. Neurons and Astrocytes: A Vital...

If you need a seven-segment display for a project, you could just grab some LED units off the shelf. Or you could build something big and electromechanical out of Lego. That’s precisely what [upir] did, with attractive results.
The build relies on Lego Technic parts, with numbers displayed by pushing small black axles through a large yellow faceplate. This creates a clear and easy to read display thanks to the high contrast. Each segment is made up of seven axles that move as a single unit, driven by a gear rack to extend and retract as needed. By extending and retracting the various segments in turn, it’s possible to display all the usual figures you’d expect of a seven-segment design.
It’s worth...
