Zeekstd A Rust implementation of the Zstandard Seekable Format. The seekable format splits compressed data into a series of independent "frames", each compressed individually, so that decompression of a section in the middle of an archive only requires zstd to decompress at most a frame's worth of extra data, instead of the entire archive.

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2026-03-18 11:00:00

Fujifilm announced a new camera this week, the X-E5, the latest in its X-E rangefinder-style mirrorless camera series. Think of the X-E as an interchangeable lens version of the X100. The big news in the X-E5 is Fujifilm's latest 40-megapixel APS-C sensor and 7-stop in-body image stabilization (IBIS). This is the first X-E series camera with IBIS, which Fujifilm says will gain you about 7 stops of handholding. The new sensor also means video specs jump to 6.2K at 30 frames per second (with a 1.2

Fans can argue day and night about Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy but there’s no denying she pulled an awesome move earlier this week. As previously reported, the British Film Institute had been advertising that it would be screening a very rare print of George Lucas’ Star Wars from its original theatrical run. It’s the version of the film you can basically never see anymore, at least not officially, so Kennedy showed up at the event to change that. “I’m here to make sure you don’t think
