Repasting a MacBook

You should repaste your MacBook (but don't) My favorite memory of my M1 Pro MacBook Pro was the whole sensation of “holy crap, you never hear the fans in this thing”, which was very novel in 2021. Four years later, this MacBook Pro is still a delight.

Measuring power network frequency using junk you have in your closet

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-25 12:24:16

Over the weekend starting on Saturday, the 8th of February 2025, the Baltic states’ electricity grid is switching from being synchronized with the Russian electric grid to being synchronized with the continental European electrical grid. This involves first disconnecting from the Russian grid, then operating a while as an island system, regulating the frequency alone and doing various tests, and finally, synchronizing frequency and phase with the EU grid and throwing the breaker.

Samsung's New Phones Show How Far Ahead China Is on Innovation

wired.com Andrew Williams 2026-01-26 10:38:37

Earlier this week, Samsung announced the latest generation of its high-end foldable phones at its Summer Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 are variously lighter, thinner, less crease-prone than before. They are more expensive too. Some call them the “foldables to beat.” It’s Samsung messaging and a commentator response that sounds an awful lot like what we heard last year.

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-26 20:30:35

James Gunn’s Superman centers on a few key moments. One of the biggest is the message Kal-El, played by David Corenswet, was left with from his Kryptonian parents. If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.

Meta’s Obsession With AI Will Make Smart Glasses Finally Click

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-27 05:56:30

Meta made some pretty major moves in AI this week, and some of them were supremely expensive. According to Bloomberg, Meta spent a whopping $200 million trying to poach just one person from Apple (Ruoming Pang, the former lead in charge of developing the large language models behind Apple Intelligence), and that’s just one person it scooped up in its flurry of AI talent acquisitions—there are several others from OpenAI that also jumped ship just this week.

How I used a Raspberry Pi to save my old Canon scanner
