This New Watch Is Being Purpose-Built for Space Exploration—and It's Not an Omega

wired.com Chris Hall 2025-09-06 14:00:00

When you think of space exploration and watches, one name immediately comes to mind: Omega. Since its Speedmaster chronograph was selected by NASA half a century ago it has become synonymous with space travel. The timing of a 13-second engine burn to save Apollo 13 cemented its role in space history, and Omega has not missed a single opportunity to deepen the partnership, from officially naming it the Moonwatch to creating endless commemorative limited editions (even if it is by no means the onl

A nasal spray company wants to make it harder for the FTC to police health claims

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-09-06 20:43:54

In the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, a health products company called Xlear began advertising its saline nasal spray to people desperately searching for ways to protect themselves from a new virus. In its marketing, Xlear pointed to studies that it said supported the idea that ingredients in the spray could block viruses from sticking to the nasal cavity. Based on its interpretation of the science, Xlear promoted the product as one part of a “layered defense” against contracting covid. In 202

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.

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-07 03:58:11

§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.
