Silver Surfer Chinese robot maker Unitree has shown off its next quadripedal robot dog — and it's a doozy. The Unitree A2 Stellar Explorer, advertised as being "lighter, stronger, and faster," can perform some impressive stunts, from front flips and traversing extreme environments. In fact, it can even hold up the weight of an adult man riding it like a bizarre four-legged skateboard. As seen in a new promotional video, the A2 effortlessly holds up a 220-pound man who climbs onto its back. Ev

How to check for bad blocks on a Linux PC hard drive (and why you shouldn't wait to do it)

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-09 21:21:00

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.

The Extravagant Rise of the Corporate Incentive Trip

Business travel doesn’t typically conjure up the most glamorous images: working group sessions in overlit conference rooms, awkward dinners with coworkers at unmemorable chain restaurants.

The old Macintosh HD hard drive icon, for years represented by a facsimile of an old spinning hard drive, has been replaced with something clearly intended to resemble a solid-state drive (the SSD in your Mac actually looks like a handful of chips soldered to a circuit board, but we'll forgive the creative license).

Olive Oil for Everything? Not So Fast — Here's What Cooking Oil to Use Instead

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-11 10:30:04

Cooking oil is one of the most versatile ingredients in any kitchen, but not all oils are created equal. While it's tempting to reach for olive oil every time, the truth is that different oils perform best under different conditions, and using the wrong one can make or break your dish. Olive oil, for example, adds richness and depth to dressings and sautés as well as goodies like proteins and vegetables. But its smoke point is lower than other oils, making it a poor choice for high-heat cooking

More than two hard disks in DOS

news.ycombinator.com Posted On 2025-12-12 23:19:27

Investigating the rather odd behavior of the Microsoft OS/2 1.21 disk driver led me to Compaq and their EXTDISK.SYS driver. While experimenting with various setups, I realized that DOS versions older than 5.0 do not support more than two hard disks exposed by the system’s BIOS, and will in fact quite likely hang early during boot-up if there are “too many” hard disks. This seems to have been one of the many things that “everyone knew” back in the day, similar to the fact that DOS versions older

Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

Integrating an electronic material that exhibits a strange property called negative capacitance can help high-power gallium nitride transistors break through a performance barrier, say scientists in California. Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state.

The jury found Tesla liable for $200 million in punitive damages, plus an additional $43 million in compensatory damages. (Because of state laws, the company will likely end up paying less.)
