On Harm Reduction Photograph: The Bunk Police Regardless of your personal habits, drug use can be prevalent at festivals. It's important to know the location of medical tents, to pay attention to your surroundings, and to look out for your fellow festival attendees the way you'd want them to look out for you. I highly recommend getting trained in administering naloxone (Narcan). It prevents opioid overdose, and it's easy to obtain training and the medicine itself for cheap. I took mine throug
A new case study offers a tantalizing glimpse into the potential future of transplantation medicine. A man with type 1 diabetes is now able to make his own insulin thanks to a transplant of gene-edited pancreatic cells—a transplant that hasn’t required the typical drugs used to avoid rejection. Scientists in Sweden and the U.S. conducted the research, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. The 42-year-old man with long-standing diabetes was given donated islet cells that we
When venture capitalist Keith Rabois got into e-commerce, he couldn't stop buying brands. Now, everything must go. OpenStore, co-founded by Rabois in 2021, is shutting down nearly all of the 40-plus Shopify stores it acquired, and it's in the process of liquidating any remaining inventory by offering steep discounts to move merchandise. Earlier this week, the company announced it plans to focus solely on growing Jack Archer, the menswear brand it bought for $837,000 in 2022. The website addres
Other Wireless Headphones We’ve Tested Wireless headphones are the default these days, and there are roughly 1 gazillion of them (and counting). We do our best to test them all, but not everything we test can make the big list. Here are some other good options worth trying. Sony WH-1000XM5 for $300-348: Sony's XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) remain a top headphone, even after being supplanted by the fancier XM6. For a fairly sizable price reduction, you'll get still-fabulous noise-canceling tech,
What is popover=hint? If you’ve been following along with advancements in HTML, such as the new popover API, you may have noticed that a new popover type ( hint ) recently landed in Chrome 133 (January 2025). But what exactly does it do? The short answer is: popover="hint" allows you to open an unrelated hint popover without closing other popovers in the stack. This means you can have an existing stack of auto popovers remain open while still displaying a hint popover. You often see this sort
I Don't Read Your Email Threads 08 Aug, 2025 Email threads have got to be one of the worst possible forms of communication. You've been here before. A perfectly respectable morning is passing by. You're working through your items at a chipper pace maybe humming a song you heard on Spotify that morning. Then, the dreaded email thread comes through. Innocently, you click into the top email. The only text is "[Your Name] see below." I hate this and I bet you do too. Suddenly, you're transporte

The Federal Communications Commission is hamstringing its upcoming review of broadband availability by ignoring the prices consumers must pay for Internet service, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said in a statement yesterday. "Some point to existing law to argue that availability is the only metric Congress allows to measure broadband deployment success. But the law does not require this agency to view broadband availability with one eye closed and the other one half-open," said Gomez, the only De
SpaceX may soon allow multiple Starlink users to share access to a single dish for a lower monthly rate, according to a post on a customer support page. (The news was first reported by PCMag, which is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) The post, which has since been taken down, stated, “Starlink is launching a new affordable way to deliver high-speed internet: one Starlink, multiple subscribers -- each with their own Starlink account and seamless experience.” A Starlink Com
I hate disqus too much. August 6, 2025 · ~6 min read I’ve been running my blog without decent comments for years. Not by choice, really - I just couldn’t find a solution that didn’t suck. Disqus? Slow, heavy, tracks users, and I don’t own anything. Plus it makes every page 100x slower to load. Self-hosted solutions? Great in theory. (not really.)

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET I've had it happen before. Back when drives consisted of spinning, magnetic platters, that dreaded "tick" was a sure sign a hard drive was failing. Once upon a nightmare scenario, I waited too late and wound up losing everything on my drive. Sure, I could have recovered that data, but at a pretty high monetary cost. Also: The first 5 Linux commands every new user should learn Since then, I've always been vigilant about checking for bad blocks and sectors on hard drives.

For nearly 30 years, the International Space Station has played orbital home for astronauts from all over the world, but its time is running out. Slated to retire in 2030, NASA is aiming to replace it with a privately-run station that can host its astronauts in space when needed. And now under pressure to get a new station up and running fast and within a slashed budget, NASA’s current head—U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—is completely overhauling the agency’s plans to replace the ISS.
Honesty Boxes in Scotland Dotted around the Scottish countryside, honesty boxes are a heartwarming tradition reflecting the trust and community spirit of rural life. These unstaffed stands offer all sorts; from fresh eggs and home-baked goods to seasonal fruits and vegetables, and even handmade crafts. This practice not only supports local farmers and artisans but also fosters a sense of integrity and mutual respect among residents and travellers. Here is a selection of the unique things you ca
About five years from now, a modified Dragon spacecraft will begin to fire its Draco thrusters, pushing the International Space Station out of its orbit and sending the largest object humans have built in space inexorably to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And then what? China’s Tiangong Space Station will still be going strong. NASA, however, faces a serious risk of losing its foothold in low-Earth orbit. Space agency leaders have long recognized this and nearly half a decade ago awarded abo

Amidst heightening tensions with China, U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday insisted that Intel’s CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, must step down, accusing Tan of harboring conflicts of interest. “The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump did not share any evidence or details of why Tan may have conflicts of interest. Trump’s po
In July 1985, 40 years ago, the Commodore Amiga was officially introduced to the world.

As an Atari guy in the 80s, I was somewhat aware of Amiga before 1985 because it would occasionally get mentioned in Atari magazines or by an Atari columnist. I remember seeing a brief note about it in ANALOG Computing and also the Atari column in Creative Computing. Early History As many people
