Of Course the ‘Avatar’ Cabbage Guy Is Getting a ‘Magic’ Card

Edge of Eternities is barely out, and Spider-Man hasn’t even swung onto shelves yet, but that’s not stopped Wizards of the Coast from marching on into promoting the next next set coming to Magic: The Gathering—its “Universes Beyond” crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Alongside previews of how the world of Avatar will work mechanically in the landscape of the game, our first extensive preview of what to expect in the set confirms the obvious: Cabbage Guy is getting his own Magic card.

Undefined Behavior in C and C++ (2024)

Undefined behavior in C and C++ Photo by Jonathan Kemper on Unsplash What is undefined behavior? February 3, 2024Working in C or C++ requires some awareness of: what it is, what its effects are, and how to avoid tripping over it. For simplicity, I will just talk about C, but everything in this article also applies to C++ except where otherwise noted.It is, generally speaking, more difficult to program in C than in the likes of Python. In some ways, that's because C is a lower-level language,

I hate Google Search’s AI overviews, so I replaced them with Brave

Megan Ellis / Android Authority A few months ago, I switched from Google to Brave on my Android phone. While I initially did this to force dark mode on my mobile browser and remove ads, I discovered plenty of benefits to using Brave over Chrome. One of these is access to Brave’s search engine, which prioritizes higher quality results with fewer ads and sponsored results compared to Google Search. But as I’ve continued to use Brave Search across devices, I also realized something else: AI summa

Verizon wins ad battle: T-Mobile asked to take down deceptive ‘Switch and Save’ ads

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has been asked to remove misleading ads that could lead consumers to believe its plans are much cheaper than the competition’s. T-Mobile disagrees with the ruling, but said it would remove the ads in question. Verizon brought the complaint against T-Mobile’s “Switch and Save” ads, which promise 20% savings compared to “the other big guys.” An advertising watchdog has asked T-Mobile to take down its “Switch and Save” ads, ruling that the price com

TDK backs Ultraviolette with $21M to take India-made electric motorcycles global

Two months ago, Indian electric motorcycle startup Ultraviolette expanded into 10 European countries. Now, fueled with $21 million in an all-equity round led by the corporate venture arm of Japanese electronics giant TDK Corporation, Ultraviolette is putting its expansion plans into overdrive. The nine-year-old startup plans to grow its European footprint fourfold, enter other motorcycle-driven markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia, and increase its portfolio to 14 models by early 20

8 Common Foods That Can Contain Microplastics and How to Avoid Them

Microplastics aren't just an ocean pollution issue anymore. They're now a daily life, from diet to kitchen tools. Recent research shows that common foods, drinks and food storage containers may be delivering thousands of tiny plastic particles into your body without you even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborne particles are included, that number can climb as hig

Get a Free Thing Skin, Thor Skin and More in Marvel Rivals Season 3.5

Marvel Rivals season 2 may have taken our heroes off-world as they battled across Arakko, but season 3 is throwing us into the furthest reaches of space to fight a new threat: Knull and his symbiote army. Stopping one symbiote is tough enough. Fighting off an army of them is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including the Queen's Codex event pass that evens the odds wi

Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own. As first spotted by Live Science, the ambitious vision recently won the team the top prize at the Project Hyperion Design Competition, which was launched last year by an international consortium of scientists, engineers, and urban planners. Unsurprisingly, Chrysalis sounds like it was yanked straight out of a sci

Poshmark CEO and founder to step down

Fashion resale marketplace Poshmark announced on Monday that its founder, Manish Chandra, is stepping down as CEO. Namsun Kim, who has served as executive chairman since April, has been appointed as his successor. Chandra founded Poshmark in 2011 alongside his three co-founders in a garage in Silicon Valley. Under his leadership, the company went public, was acquired by Naver in 2022, and has grown to 150 million users to date. After nearly 15 years, he’ll transition to being a member of the b

UI vs. API. vs. UAI

First we built a user interface (UI) when the application was just going to be operated by humans. There’s a whole branch of study around good and bad patterns in that design practice, focusing on how we make things easily operable by humans. Then we added an application programmable interface (API) when we wanted the application to be operated by other applications - integrated programs. Similarly, there are whole conferences and books about what good design looks like for these interfaces, ai

Why Chefs Don't Use Olive Oil for Everything (and What They Use Instead)

Cooking oil can completely transform a dish, but using the wrong one can ruin it. While olive oil is a go-to for many home cooks, it isn't always the best choice. Its lower smoke point means it can burn at high temperatures, leaving food with an unpleasant, bitter taste. For frying, searing or any other high-heat cooking, reach for neutral oils like canola, avocado or grapeseed instead. They can withstand hotter temperatures and deliver a cleaner, crisper finish. By matching the right oil to th

Robot Crab Meets Terrible Fate When Its True Nature Is Discovered by Real Crabs

Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season. In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, animal behavior researchers from the UK's University of Exeter detailed the embarrassing end to their experiment with "Wavy Dave," a 3D-printed, Bluetooth-controlled crab-bot trained to wave at its fellow crustaceans. Known for having one claw that's much larger than the oth
