Repaste Your MacBook (But Don't)

news.ycombinator.com Christian Selig 2026-01-27 12:53:27

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. It’s the longest I’ve ever owned a laptop, and while I’d love to pick up the new M4 goodness, this dang thing still seems to just shrug at basically anything I throw at it. Video editing, code compiling, CAD models, the works. (My desire to updat

Remember That Asteroid NASA Deflected in a Test of Saving Earth? We Have Bad News

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-28 00:57:01

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for Earth. The small spacecraft smashed into asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos at a violent 14,000 mph, knocking it severely off course. But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa

Deflecting a Killer Asteroid Is More Complicated Than NASA Thought

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-01-28 15:00:42

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid. The mission, dubbed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), aimed to determine whether humanity could theoretically save itself from a catastrophic asteroid impact. DART collided with Dimorphos, a small moonlet orbiting a larger asteroid called Didymos, on September 26, 2022. The results of the impact blew NASA’s expectations out of the water, shortening Dimorphos’s or

Apple, Mastercard and Visa have successfully dodged a lawsuit that claimed the companies were colluding to maintain the current status quo in point-of-sale-payment card services, Reuters reports. The original 2023 lawsuit filed by beverage retailer Mirage Wine and Spirits alleged that Apple was essentially accepting bribes to not develop its open payment network or open up the iPhone's NFC-based "tap to pay" functionality to competitors.

Don't Put Your Takeout Containers in the Microwave. Here's Why

When hunger and laziness coincide, reheating last night's leftovers in the microwave seems like a great idea. But if you reheat them in the plastic container they came in, you could be ingesting microplastics and harmful chemicals. But is plastic contamination as dangerous as experts say? All signs point to yes. Study after study has shown that the resulting chemical exposure of microplastics could pose significant health risks, and has been linked to increases in medical issues like infertilit

Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Gains Momentum in the U.S.

The United States’ 90,000-ton stockpile of radioactive nuclear waste has long been a liability, but researchers are increasingly eyeing it as a resource. New techniques in transforming spent fuel, new nuclear fuel cycle directives from the Trump administration, and the doling out of a Biden-era $40 million research program together aim to repurpose nuclear waste on a commercial scale.

This Linux distro makes openSUSE accessible to all - even newbies should take a look

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET OpenSUSE is a powerful operating system, but I still haven't recommended it to new Linux users. Why? It's too powerful, and it doesn't include essential day-to-day software. That's a shame, because openSUSE is also very reliable, stable, and secure.
