I found a compact power station with solar charging, and it's a new off-grid essential

ZDNET's key takeaways The EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus is available now for $899. It's a compact 1,024Wh power station that can connect to external batteries, and its improved cooling mechanism makes it a lot quieter than its predecessor. The silver finish has a tendency to get dinged up. $899 at Amazon Power stations come in all shapes and sizes, but I find that the units on the extreme ends get most of the attention: either the massive ones that can power a home for days or the tiny, ultraportables

EPA says it will eliminate its scientific research arm

The Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so. The move underscores how the Trump administration is forging ahead with efforts to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies after the Supreme Court allowed these plans to proceed while legal challenges unfold.

When to make LODs: Understanding model costs

news.ycombinator.com Jason Booth 2025-07-21 17:56:35

When to make LODs Jason Booth 3 min read · Dec 26, 2021 -- Listen Share Understanding model costs I’m always amazed at how often I hear people talk about “poly counts” in modern rendering, as if that’s even a thing. But lore has a way of sticking around forever, far past its point of being useful. And quite frankly, I’m constantly seeing artwork created in substandard ways because of this lore. First, the cost of rendering something doesn’t really have much relation to how many polygons it ha

Zig's new Writer As you might have heard, Zig's Io namespace is being reworked. Eventually, this will mean the re-introduction of async. As a first step though, the Writer and Reader interfaces and some of the related code have been revamped. This post is written based on a mid-July 2025 development release of Zig. It doesn't apply to Zig 0.14.x (or any previous version) and is likely to be outdated as more of the Io namespace is reworked. Not long ago, I wrote a blog post which tried to expl

Why your website should be under 14kB in size

Why your website should be under 14kB in size Why your website should be under 14kB in size Having a smaller website makes it load faster — that's not surprising. What is surprising is that a 14kB page can load much faster than a 15kB page — maybe 612ms faster — while the difference between a 15kB and a 16kB page is trivial. This is because of the TCP slow start algorithm. This article will cover what that is, how it works, and why you should care. But first we'll quickly go over some of the

‘Ice Cubes in a Volcano’: Scientists Baffled by Mysterious Clouds in Center of the Milky Way

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-07-24 04:00:03

In the center of our galaxy, gigantic, balloon-like structures of high-energy radiation extend thousands of light-years above and below the Milky Way’s plane. Known as the Fermi bubbles, the massive lobes may have been the result of a violent outburst in our galaxy’s recent past. A new discovery of cold hydrogen clouds embedded inside the bubbles adds another level of mystery to the objects, suggesting they’re only a few million years old—practically brand-new, by cosmic standards.

Gear News of the Week: Chrome OS Will Merge With Android and Sony Surprises With a New Camera

It's been speculated on. It's been rumored. It's been hoped for. And according to an interview with TechRadar, it's happening. Android ecosystem president Sameer Samat says Google plans to combine Chrome OS and Android “into a single platform.” Google has kept its phone and tablet operating systems distinct from its laptop platform.

Now, Sony has tweaked that further and moved the film back three more weeks to June 25, 2027. The reason for this move isn’t because production needs more time, however.
