How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

theverge.com Josh Dzieza 2025-10-16 19:30:04

WhenWhen armies invade, hurricanes form, or governments fall, a Wikipedia editor will typically update the relevant articles seconds after the news breaks. So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West. So it was unusual, according to one longtime editor who was watching the page, that on the afternoon of January 20th, 2025, hours after Elon Musk made a gesture resembling a Nazi salute at a rally following Pr

Anker’s Mammoth Projector Is Now So Big You Should Just Call It R2-D2

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-17 01:30:52

I was already impressed enough with Anker’s SoundCore Nebula X1 projector when I saw it back in April. We all dream of having our own full theater in our homes, or at least something transportable enough that we could hang a bedsheet in our backyard and pretend we’re at the cinema. It was one of the first projectors with its own internal liquid cooling system to keep it from overheating. Then came along the Nebula X1 Pro, a projector so big it could be a Star Wars droid that’s large enough to pa

Madrid’s Orbital Paradigm aims to prove a cheaper path to orbital reentry

Francesco Cacciatore is a self-proclaimed skeptic. Yet after spending two decades in the European aerospace industry and hitting, as he put it, a “crisis,” he made an undeniably optimistic bet: he started a space company. “You ask yourself, ‘What am I doing?’” he said in a recent interview. “I got offered some interesting opportunities, but then I kind of collapsed and realized I wanted to try and build something myself.” That something turned out to be one of the most challenging problems in

Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola Razr (2025) Foldable phones are still super cool little engineering feats.

Hydrogen-Powered Plasma Torch Decimates Plastic Waste in a Blink

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-17 19:30:56

Why sort plastic when you can blast it to oblivion? Sounds extreme, but that’s the idea behind a new technology with the potential to “realize the era of zero plastic sorting”—while minimizing carbon emissions, too. In a press release today, the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMMS) announced the development of a plasma torch that annihilates plastic waste in less than 0.01 seconds—about ten times faster than a blink.

Trump’s New History Exhibit Features Fake Quotes From AI-Generated Founding Fathers

The White House recently commissioned a new history exhibit in Washington, D.C. created by the far-right “education” group PragerU. The exhibit features 82 paintings and 40 AI videos, presenting a rather distorted view of America’s founding. The AI-generated videos even include fake quotes from the founding fathers, including one that seems like a joke. But the folks at PragerU are serious about their mission, even if the intention is to own the libs. What kind of quotes are we talking about?
