Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Microsoft is testing a new feature on its Edge browser for Android that lets you play videos in the background. The feature can be enabled through the Edge flags page. It works on YouTube, so you can play YouTube videos in the background. Edge Canary for Android also offers a built-in ad blocker that works on YouTube. One of the main benefits of subscribing to the $14 YouTube Premium plan is that it allows you to play videos in the background. But you mig

A Crack in the Cosmos

news.ycombinator.com Colin Wells 2025-10-23 17:11:05

Some time around the year 466 BCE – in the second year of the 78th Olympiad, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder tells us – a massive meteor blazed across the sky in broad daylight, crashing to the earth with an enormous explosion near the small Greek town of Aegospotami, or ‘Goat Rivers’, on the European side of the Hellespont in northeastern Greece. Pliny’s younger contemporary, the Greek biographer Plutarch, wrote that the locals still worshipped the scorched brownish metallic boulder, the s

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase".

Why countries trade with each other while fighting

news.ycombinator.com Peter Dizikes 2025-10-21 03:58:28

In World War II, Britain was fighting for its survival against German aerial bombardment. Yet Britain was importing dyes from Germany at the same time. This sounds curious, to put it mildly. How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I. India and Pakistan conducted trade with each other during the First Kashmir War, from 1947 to 1949, and during the India-Pakistan War of

With all the frenzied news swirling around these days, it's understandable if you let Elon Musk slip from the top of your mind. While the billionaire's mental state was arguably frayed during his stint as DOGE czar — thanks in no small part to what's been reported as a constant stream of illicit drugs — it's become visibly more concerning since his dramatic departure earlier this summer.
