The arcane alphabets of Black Sabbath

Source: fontsinuse.com Nick Sherman . License: All Rights Reserved . Black Sabbath’s first four studio albums – Black Sabbath , Paranoid , Master of Reality , and Vol 4 , released in rapid succession between 1970 and 1972 – laid much of the groundwork for the heavy metal movement. While there were other bands playing heavy blues-inspired hard rock at the time, the gloomy, doom-laden stylings of Black Sabbath helped fuel their early success as one of the first – and most influential – heavy meta

Brennan Center for Justice Report: The Campaign to Undermine the Next Election

Targeting Election Officials and Civil Society The Trump administration, falsely claiming that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, has already targeted organizations and individuals it sees as adverse with baseless or inappropriate retaliatory actions. It now threatens to do the same with certain election officials, civic groups that mobilize voters, and other individuals and entities that protect elections and the rule of law. These kinds of actions can be tools of retribution, intimida

Sections on habeas corpus and nobility titles were temporarily removed from Congress' US Constitution website

Key sections of the US Constitution were temporarily removed from Congress' website. Provisions including habeas corpus (due process) and the prohibition of nobility titles (like, say, King) vanished from the digital version of the document. They've since been restored. 404 Media first reported on the edits after users on Lemmy forums spotted them. There are many ways to read a copy of the US Constitution. But the Library of Congress' online version is one of the easiest to find. Alongside its

LLM Inflation

One of the signal achievements of computing is data compression : we take in data, make it smaller while retaining all information (“lossless” compression), transmit it, and then decompress it back to the original at the other end. For many years, compression was an absolute requirement to get things done: storage devices were too small for the data we wanted to store and networks too slow to transmit what we wanted at an acceptable speed. Today compression is less often an absolute requiremen

New Paper Finds Something Very Weird About the Shroud of Turin

The mysterious Shroud of Turin, which is believed by many Christians to have laid atop Jesus Christ's body after his crucifixion, may be even stranger than we previously thought. In a new study published in the journal Archaeometry, Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes lends credence to the theory that the shroud was a work of art rather than a genuine death shroud — and per the new paper, it may not have laid atop a human at all. Using three types of 3D modeling tools — MakeHuman, Blender, and

Yes, you can edit video like a pro on Linux - here are my 4 go-to apps

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Linux has several high-quality video editors. You'll find some pro-level and some built for consumers. The best-in-class goes to DaVinci Resolve. I've been filming and editing videos for a long time. When I first started, I worked with software that was user-friendly but incapable of producing professional-level videos. Slowly, I climbed the ladder. Now I feel like the tools I have are worthy of being taken seriously. That's not to say tho

I tried Perplexity's new reservation feature, and it surprised me with new dining spots to try

8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I like to read in bed before I nod off to sleep. Though I enjoy the feel and texture of a good, old-fashioned printed book, I typically turn to ebooks because they're easier on the eyes. And what do I use as a reader? No, not a Kindle, but my trusty iPad mini. Also: I finally found a tablet that can easily replace my iPad and Kindle (and is affordably priced) I've tried a couple of Kindles in the past, but didn't quite take to them. For me, the iPad mini is a more versatil

Hackers Hijacked Google’s Gemini AI With a Poisoned Calendar Invite to Take Over a Smart Home

Within the titles of the calendar invites, the researchers added their crafty malicious prompts. (Google’s Wen contends that the researchers changed default settings on who can add calendar invites to someone’s calendar; however, the researchers say they demonstrated some of the 14 attacks with the prompts in an email subject or document title as well). “All the techniques are just developed in English, so it’s plain English that we are using,” Cohen says of the deceptive messages the team creat

Here’s an early look at Gboard’s Material 3 Expressive refresh (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a Material 3 Expressive redesign for the Gboard app settings. The redesign features a card-style user interface and a rearranged settings menu with new descriptions. Gboard is one of those apps I cannot live without, so much so that I even install it on my iPhones (which sounds blasphemous, but it works great). On Android phones, Google is working to bring a Material 3 Expressive redesign for Gboard settings, so you can enjoy a co

I have a love/hate relationship with my Google Pixel.

The AirPods Pro 2 have dropped to a new low price - here's why they're still legit in 2025

Jada Jones/ZDNET During Apple's September hardware event last year, the company announced the iPhone 16 lineup, new AirPods, and an upgraded Apple Watch. I was most happy to see the AirPods 4 model, which introduced noise cancellation to the lineup for the first time and upgraded software features -- but I was secretly hoping for the AirPods Pro 3. Also: 4 headphones I swear by (and how I use each pair differently) Unfortunately, a new AirPods Pro model didn't appear. Instead, Apple announced

Coinbase shares slide Tuesday as crypto play takes double-digit fall from July record

Meet Meschers, MIT’s Tool for Building Paradoxical Digital Objects

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems. But impossibagel—and other “impossible objects” in mathematics—is notoriously difficult to replicate, and researchers haven’t been able to fully tap into their mathematical potential. That may no longer be a problem, thanks to a new tool. On Monday, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) announced “Meschers,” software capable of visuali
