A troubleshooting guide outlines how to diagnose and fix a non-responsive Apple TV remote, starting with checking battery levels and restarting the Apple TV system. If those steps fail, users on tvOS 18 or later can check Bluetooth signal strength through settings, and as a last resort perform a full factory reset or use an iPhone/iPad as a substitute remote via Control Center.
Researchers analyzed post-mortem retinal and brain tissue from multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls, using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry and other molecular techniques. They identified an intracellular form of complement factor H within neurons that appears to protect these cells from damage during central nervous system inflammation, a mechanism distinct from the protein's known extracellular immune role.
Researchers outline how six transition form factors govern the semileptonic weak decay of hyperons, focusing on the Lambda baryon's decay into a proton, electron and antineutrino. They show that because scalar and pseudoscalar form factors are suppressed by lepton-to-hyperon mass ratios, the electron-antineutrino channel effectively depends on just four form factors and the CKM parameter Vus, allowing a simplified branching ratio formula.
An explosion at a THC extraction facility in Sand Springs, Oklahoma killed two people and damaged more than 25 nearby buildings, with shockwaves felt 30 to 40 miles away. Facility owner Ryan Bassham was arrested on murder charges after reportedly ignoring a fire marshal's order to stop extraction operations before the blast. Investigators suspect the explosion stemmed from butane hash oil extraction, a common but volatile method of producing cannabis concentrates.
Security researchers are flagging a fresh wave of email scams that no longer follow the old telltale patterns like poor grammar or suspicious links. These updated schemes are polished, convincing, and designed to slip past users who rely on outdated advice from corporate IT departments.
A new guide highlights that consumers can drop off old laptops, desktops and printers at major retailers such as Best Buy and Staples for free recycling, regardless of where the device was originally purchased. Some retailers even offer trade-in credit or discounts on new purchases as an incentive. The process is straightforward, but users are advised to fully wipe personal data via a factory reset or dedicated drive-scrubbing tool before handing over devices.
Roku TVs can freeze, stop responding to remotes, drop Wi-Fi connections or fail after software updates, prompting the need for either a simple restart or a full factory reset. A restart is quick and preserves settings, while a factory reset wipes all personal data, accounts and apps, returning the TV to its original state. Users are advised to have their Roku account credentials, Wi-Fi details and any PINs ready before attempting either fix.
Samsung's latest folding phone experiment appears to be resonating with buyers, continuing the company's pattern of testing unconventional smartphone form factors in public before they go mainstream. The device's reception is drawing attention as Apple prepares its own entry into the foldable phone category.
Shares of The Cheesecake Factory, the casual dining chain, have climbed 122% so far this year, a gain that outstrips the year-to-date performance of several Magnificent Seven tech stocks, including Nvidia. The rally highlights how a traditional restaurant business has outperformed some of the market's most closely watched technology giants.
The European Space Agency signed contracts totaling hundreds of millions of euros with three European launch startups—Rocket Factory Augsburg, PLD Space and Isar Aerospace—to fund continued development of their small launch vehicles. RFA received 186.9 million euros, PLD Space 158.9 million euros, and Isar Aerospace 197.8 million euros, mostly financed by their home nations with contributions from partner countries. A separate deal with MaiaSpace is reportedly close to finalization.
A group of contributors, drawing on their experience building and scaling apps on the Heroku platform, published a methodology called the Twelve-Factor App. It outlines a set of practices for building software-as-a-service applications that can use any programming language or backing services like databases and queues, aiming to reduce software erosion and ease collaboration among developers.
Psychiatric clinicians in the US report a rising number of patients, some with no prior mental health history, who developed delusions or paranoid thinking after extended use of AI chatbots. Researchers say cases include people forming false beliefs, such as one documented by UCSF researchers involving a woman who believed she could communicate with a deceased relative through a chatbot. An Entrepreneur op-ed warns that founders, who are often isolated and prone to seeking validation, face heightened risk from AI tools built to agree with users.
