I don't like curved displays

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-30 15:24:24

I don't like curved displays The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared. A curved screen won't do that — straight lines are no longer straight!

Physicists Made a Time Crystal We Can Actually See

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-04 08:30:49

Of all the eccentricities of the quantum realm, time crystals—atomic arrangements that repeat certain motions over time—might be some of the weirdest. But they certainly exist, and to provide more solid proof, physicists have finally created a time crystal we can actually see. In a recent Nature Materials paper, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder presented a new time crystal design: a glass cell filled with liquid crystals—rod-shaped molecules stuck in strange limbo between solid

Participants at the presentation of new iPhone models from Apple try out the new thinner iPhone Air. Apple has postponed the launch of its new iPhone Air model in China due to regulatory issues surrounding its eSIM design, the company said. Wireless carriers in China need a special license from the government before they can sell a new device with an eSIM, and the carriers haven't secured that approval yet, Apple said.

The Chinese tech industry might be excited about the Nvidia chip flow resuming, but the government is allegedly not.

The best laptops under $1,000 of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

People tend to equate concepts like "budget" or "low-cost" with poor quality, but that's not true. You can find plenty of high-quality laptops that cost less than $1,000. I'm talking about well-crafted, powerful computers that can compete with the best laptops on the market when tackling productivity and entertainment workloads. It certainly helps that many budget laptops were former high-end devices. Apple, for example, frequently drops the price of older MacBooks whenever a new one comes out.
