People Are Already Dropping Dead as Extreme Heat Scorches the US

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-03 20:08:32

In large swaths of these United States, people are already dying from this summer's brutal heat wave. According to St. Louis' KMOV, a 55-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment this week after her electricity had been shut off during this so-called "heat dome" phenomenon — which involves heat being trapped by atmospheric conditions, as if by a lid or a cap. Reporting from KSDK, another area broadcaster, indicated that the woman had been stranded in her apartment without air conditioning

Samsung needs to build a Galaxy Watch that looks as good as this mod

TL;DR A Redditor modified a mechanical watch body to fit the electronics from a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The 40mm Watch 4 was supposedly the only one small enough to fit in the case, which appears to be from a Panerai Luminor watch. Even the crown button is reportedly functional.

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-03 20:58:34

Have you been working your way through Hades on mobile via Netflix? You’d better hurry up, before it’s too late. As first spotted by Engadget and confirmed by Netflix, 21 high-profile indie games are being removed from the service starting next month. See the full list below. Netflix seems to be rethinking its game strategy once again. After a streak of splashy acquisitions, the company shut down Blue, its internal AAA studio last year, releasing zero games in total.

Google Cloud has donated its Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol to the Linux Foundation, which has now announced a new community-driven project called the Agent2Agent Project.

The ‘GQuuuuuuX’ Finale Might Be One of the Most Hopeful ‘Gundam’ Endings in Years

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-03-03 20:35:43

So much of Gundam GQuuuuuuX‘s riffing on the legacy of the 1979 original across its 12 episodes has been almost about a yearning sense of inevitability that it could only end in one way—a retread of what came before narratively, and a continuation of the cycle of conflict that has broadly defined the franchise at large and the Universal Century setting that GQuuuuuuX played with in particular. But in its final episode, GQuuuuuuX played with its nostalgic sensibilities one last time to imagine fo

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-03 22:58:11

§Subsecond: Hot-patching for Rust Subsecond is a library that enables hot-patching for Rust applications. This allows you to change the code of a running application without restarting it. This is useful for game engines, servers, and other long-running applications where the typical edit-compile-run cycle is too slow. Subsecond also implements a technique we call “ThinLinking” which makes compiling Rust code significantly faster in development mode, which can be used outside of hot-patching.

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2026-03-04 00:00:43

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon
