cnbc.com Tanaya Macheel 2025-11-06 20:28:39

Ether rose to a new record over the weekend, after hitting an all-time high Friday for the first time since 2021. The price of the second largest cryptocurrency rose as high as $4,954.81 on Sunday afternoon. It was last higher by less than 1% at $4,776.46.

A Physicist Wants to Turn Jupiter’s Largest Moon Into a Gigantic Dark Matter Detector

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-06 14:00:14

When searching for the unknown, classic physics wisdom holds that a bigger detector boosts the chances of discovery. A physicist is taking that advice to heart, advancing a bold plan to use none other than Ganymede—Jupiter’s largest moon—as a dark matter detector on an astronomical scale. Dark matter refers to the “invisible” mass that supposedly constitutes 85% of the universe. There’s considerable evidence that dark matter exists, but it’s “dark,” meaning it doesn’t respond to light and very

Taking a look at my old Palm IIIx – by Paul Lefebvre

We’ve been doing some cleaning and purging here at Chez Lefebvre and stumbled across a relic. While cleaning, my wife was going through a box of what she thought contained old folders and notebooks, but hidden inside an old Franklin Covey Planner (also a relic and popular in the 90s) was my original Palm IIIx! This particular planner actually had a slot inside to contain the Palm itself, which is why it got lost for so long! As I recall, I bought this Palm IIIx in September 1999 and I feel like

From laptops to phones to wireless Bluetooth speakers, earbuds and more, USB-C connections have become the de facto standard for charging and data transfer of devices. While USB-C is just about everywhere now, including longstanding holdout Apple since the iPhone 15, not all ports or cables are the same. They look identical, sure, and have some interoperability, but there are ratings for different charging and data speeds. That can make choosing a USB-C cable more complicated than it should be.
