6 ridiculous promises we were sold about 5G

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-15 23:00:02

Kris Carlon / Android Authority Despite some speed and network coverage improvements, 5G hasn’t really lived up to the hype. You know it, I know it, and deep down, even the carriers know it. In fact, a few of the industry’s bigwigs would probably rather we all forget about some of the absolutely outlandish claims and overenthusiastic visions they tried to sell us about 5G. But the internet never forgets, so it’s time for us to play “where are they now” with some of the worst nonsense from the

Hiding secret codes in light protects against fake videos

news.ycombinator.com Patricia Waldron 2025-12-16 02:40:27

Fact-checkers may have a new tool in the fight against misinformation. A team of Cornell researchers has developed a way to “watermark” light in videos, which they can use to detect if video is fake or has been manipulated. The idea is to hide information in nearly-invisible fluctuations of lighting at important events and locations, such as interviews and press conferences or even entire buildings, like the United Nations Headquarters. These fluctuations are designed to go unnoticed by humans

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-16 00:00:28

In the spring of 2019, the six-wheeled Spirit rover was driving backwards to drag an inoperable front right wheel when it got stuck on the sandy Martian surface. Despite spending months trying to excavate its robot, NASA could not free Spirit. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison may have figured out a way to better prepare NASA’s robots for extraterrestrial environments. In a paper published in the Journal of Field Robotics, the team of engineers used computer simulations to

“Any comparison of the Soviet and U.S. Navy must be viewed from the context that we are a maritime power dependent upon being able to maintain sea lanes of communication necessary to conduct military operations overseas and to support our allies. The mission of our navy is a far more difficult one than that of the Soviets of denying us free use of the seas. We have given up any chance of matching the Soviet Navy in number of ships. Therefore the quality of our ships must be superior. It is axiom

At 17, Hannah Cairo solved a major math mystery

news.ycombinator.com Kevin Hartnett 2025-12-17 10:35:40

Cairo followed this advice. In the fall of 2023, her family moved to Davis, 60 miles northeast of Berkeley. There, her older brother enrolled as a freshman at UC Davis, and her parents allowed her to commute to Berkeley on Tuesdays and Thursdays. By the spring, she was going five days a week and taking several more classes. She recalls it as a time in her life when she began to feel full of possibility. “I had started making friends, and I was feeling good,” she said. After the spring semester

gizmodo.com Alan Dykes 2025-12-18 02:55:52

The earthquake near the east coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia on July 30, 2025, generated tsunami waves that have reached Hawaii and coastal areas of the U.S. mainland.

Handwave lends a hand to retailers with its European alternative to Amazon’s palm payments

Paying with a handwave once sounded like science fiction, but contactless palm recognition service Amazon One has already been used more than 8 million times, according to the company. That’s Amazon, though, which explains why it has been deployed in Amazon stores and more than 500 Whole Foods Market stores in the U.S., but only 150 third-party locations. Meanwhile, fintech startups like Latvia’s Handwave are stepping onto the field, aiming to provide third-party retailers with a similar but in

The Legacy of ‘Scavengers Reign’ Lives on Through Video Games

gizmodo.com Toussaint Egan 2025-12-19 16:15:57

It’s been little over a year since Scavengers Reign was canceled. Co-created by animator-producers Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, Scavengers Reign garnered a modest yet passionate fanbase and went on to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite this, however, HBO Max—and by extension Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company—chose not to renew the show for a second season, effectively canceling the series. Set in the distant future, the animated sci-fi drama
