Marshall Now Has a Big Party Speaker That’s Perfect for Pretending You’re in a Band

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-30 08:31:56

Being in a band is hard. You’ve got to learn an instrument (time-consuming), organize your friends (a nightmare), and then harass everyone on Instagram to come out to your show on a Tuesday at 9:30 pm at least twice a month? Forget about it. That being said, looking like you’re in a band is still hella cool, and what better way to do that than carry around a huge party speaker that looks akin to a Marshall Stack? If that sounds more like your speed, then you’ll be happy to know that Marshall is

Reimagining sound and space

“It would be very difficult to teach biology or engineering in a studio designed for dance or music,” Jay Scheib, section head for Music and Theater Arts, told MIT News shortly before the building officially opened. “The same goes for teaching music in a mathematics or chemistry classroom. In the past, we’ve done it, but it did limit us.” He said the new space would allow MIT musicians to hear their music as it was intended to be heard and “provide an opportunity to convene people to inhabit the

Evidently, readers, you are not. Users on social media have responded with horror and outrage to a pair of smart glasses developed by a startup called Halo that its creators, a pair of Harvard dropouts, claim will feed you live AI-powered insights while logging and transcribing every conv

Marshall's first party speaker unsurprisingly looks like a guitar amp

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-31 15:15:09

Marshall just introduced its very first party speaker, the Bromley 750. It looks a whole lot like a guitar amp, which makes sense given the company's pedigree. Also, instrument amps are basically just big speakers anyways. This Bluetooth speaker includes a replaceable battery that allows for more than 40 hours of use before requiring a charge. It produces 360-degree stereophonic sound that Marshall says will "find its way through any crowd." It also features a "sound character knob" that change

Marshal madness: A brief history of Ruby deserialization exploits

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 08:41:33

Documenting the evolution of exploitation techniques serves a crucial purpose in security engineering: it helps us understand not just individual vulnerabilities but the systemic patterns that resist conventional fixes. The story of deserialization exploits in Ruby’s Marshal module offers a uniquely well-documented case study of this phenomenon. That is, a decade-long cycle of patches and bypasses that reveals the futility of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. This history matters bec

Ever since, we've struggled to explain what these faint signals could be. The prevailing theory is that they're some kind of extremely compact galaxy.

Leaky Ice Dam Prompts Evacuations in Alaska as Record Floods Loom
