Zoo Requests Unwanted Pets to Feed to Hungry Carnivores

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-27 09:30:31

A zoo in Denmark wants you to give its lazy carnivores free handouts in the form of your small, unwanted pets. In unrelated news, someone's timeline for moving into that dream condo just got moved up. "If you have a healthy animal that needs to be given away for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us," the Aalborg Zoo wrote in Facebook and Instagram posts, as quoted by the Associated Press. Rest assured, the donated pets will be "gently euthanized" by trained staff before becoming some

YouTube will soon let Android users switch off that annoying Auto Zoom feature (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-30 12:30:20

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A few weeks back, YouTube’s Android app introduced a new Auto Zoom feature that automatically zooms in on videos in landscape mode, with no way of turning it off in settings. Auto Zoom is separate from the “Zoom to fill screen” option and activates inconsistently, causing frustration amongst YouTube users. Thankfully, YouTube is preparing to add a new toggle in the app’s settings to turn off Auto Zoom. A few weeks ago, users began noticing a new Auto

A zoo in Denmark has made an unusual request: if you feel like it, send us your pets so we can keep our lovely predator population well-fed. As one would expect, there’s been a bit of public outcry over the “Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators,” the zoo said, in a Facebook post, noting that such animals are “reminiscent of what” predators would “naturally hunt in nature.” It added: “In zoos, we have a responsibility to emulate the animal’s natur

Telephone colophon: Or, how I overengineered my call audio (2020)

But to have the amount of control a musician really wants, it turned out to be a bit more involved. Plus, when working from home for a microphone company, it’s pretty common to use a decent mic in meetings. This post explains the setup I’ve been using for my calls. (Don’t let the speakers fool you.

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones? It sounds like Google could maintain the same 48MP 5x cameras seen on the Pixel 9 Pro series. However, a trove of marketing material shared by veteran leaker Evan Blass has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones could get 100x zoom. I’m not convinced that
