This article concludes Issue 06. Watch our Behind-the-Scenes interview with the author on YouTube. By Thomas Moynihan In 1832, Ferdinand von Ritgen, a German physician, puzzled over how the first generation of humans birthed themselves. He pictured their embryos sprouting spontaneously “without procreating parents preceding them,” like fungal growths emerging from the ground. By Ritgen’s day, it was understood that life on Earth had predated humanity’s debut for eons and that living creatures

This Case Forced Me to Completely Rethink How I Handle the Switch 2

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-08 05:00:53

2025 The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the featherweight champion of gaming handhelds—though largely because nobody can enter its weight class. No other device of its size—whether it’s a handheld PC or another retro device—can slip so easily into a backpack without weighing you down, like you’re lugging a sack of bricks around through every train station and airport terminal. That slim design comes with its own heap of drawbacks. The Switch 2 is a thin device with narrow edges that tends to d

Are Ford and GM Still American?

For decades, Ford and General Motors have been symbols of American industry, blue-collar pride, and heartland grit. From the rugged Ford F-150 to the all-American Chevy, the Detroit Big Three — Ford, GM, and Chrysler (now part of Stellantis) — have dominated the auto market with vehicles built and sold across the United States.

The music industry’s nightmare came true in 2023, and it sounded a lot like Drake. “Heart on My Sleeve,” a convincingly fake duet between Drake and The Weeknd, racked up millions of streams before anyone could explain who made it or where it came from. The track didn’t just go viral — it broke the illusion that anyone was in control. In the scramble to respond, a new category of infrastructure is quietly taking shape that’s built not to stop generative music outright, but to make it traceable.

Drinks in glass bottles contain more microplastics than those in other container

The aim of the ANSES study was to determine the level of microplastic contamination in drinks such as water, soda, iced tea, wine and beer; it also sought to establish the impact of their containers on this level. For most of the drinks studied, the level of microplastics was found to be higher in glass bottles than in other containers. For example, on average, in glass bottles of cola, lemonade, iced tea and beer, there were around 100 microplastic particles per litre. This number was five to 5

Tadeusz Banachiewicz (1882–1954), a Polish astronomer living in Krakow, was passionate about calculating machines. From the 1920s, Banachiewicz developed a method for computations on tables of numbers, which was particularly easy to perform with arithmometers.
