I took this 360-degree camera around the world - why it's still the most versatile gear I own

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-10-28 11:00:00

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The Insta360 X5 is my favorite travel camera. I love it for its versatility, ease of use, and user-friendly app. It is more expensive than its predecessor but offers better video quality, replaceable lenses, improved battery backup, and more. I started using this 360-degree action camera in May, and within three months, it had earned a permanent spot in my travel backpack. It is now on sale for Labor Day. Review: Insta

A forgotten medieval fruit with a vulgar name (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 21:34:31

Medieval Europeans were fanatical about a strange fruit that could only be eaten rotten. Then it was forgotten altogether. Why did they love it so much? And why did it disappear? In 2011, archaeologists found something unusual in a Roman toilet. The team were excavating the ancient village of Tasgetium (now Eschenz, Switzerland), ruled by a Celtic king who was personally given the land by Julius Caesar. It was built on the banks of the river Rhine, along what was then an important trade route

Satellite Companies Like SpaceX Are Ignoring Astronomers’ Calls to Save the Night Sky

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-28 09:55:01

There are more than 12,000 active satellites circling Earth at the moment, a growing figure that has nearly doubled in less than three years. This recent boom in the satellite industry has been a major headache for astronomers, with bright satellites appearing as streaks in telescope images of the universe and tarnishing views of the night skies.

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-29 01:30:00

Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this.
