After my last WiFi-enabled smart scale broke and refused to connect to the Internet anymore, I sought something simpler and cheaper to replace it. The old scale had all sorts of fancy service integrations that I never used. I just wanted something that would track my weight and report the measurements to the Health app on my iPhone. The Eufy C20 smart scale is what I landed on and I’m very happy with it — and it’s pretty cheap too. Here’s how it works … Firstly, the scale works completely inde

French City of Lyon Kicks Out Microsoft

European countries have been growing increasingly wary of relying on Microsoft for critical government and public sector services. Concerns about data privacy, digital sovereignty, and potential governmental surveillance have led many to question the viability of depending on an American tech giant for sensitive infrastructure. Many worry that dependence on Microsoft could leave them vulnerable to sudden service interruptions or the risk of sensitive data being accessed without consent. This g

Tech companies from across the world, including giants like Alphabet, Meta, Mistral AI and ASML have been urging the European Commission to delay rolling out the AI Act, saying it will hurt Europe’s chances to compete in the fast-evolving AI arena. “I’ve seen, indeed, a lo

There are around 11,000 satellites orbiting Earth, and it is estimated that at least 50,000 more will be launched in the next decade. There are also exploration instruments, resupply vessels, and complexes like the International Space Station. But who regulates all this activity in space? In the absence of clear regulations, the European Union has proposed the Space Act, a set of measures that seeks to make the European space sector a cleaner, safer, and more competitive environment, both domest

New Research Debunks Myth That Brain Cells Stop Growing After Childhood

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-08-13 04:00:50

You’ve probably heard the old canard that new brain cells simply stop forming as we become adults. But research out today is the latest to show that this isn’t really true. Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in the hippocampus of adult brains. The findings reveal more about the human brain as we get older, the researchers say, and also hint at potential new ways to treat neurological disorders. “We’ve found

The ‘Neuromancer’ Show Welcomes You Into Its Neon-Lit Dystopia

This is very much an early look—no actors, no plot teases, just a glimpse of a certain key location in William Gibson‘s cyberpunk tale Neuromancer. But “near-future dystopia by way of 1984” is captured correctly here, and that bodes very well for the Apple TV+ series that is, as the tin advertises, currently in production. And this isn’t just a random drop to increase hype for the show, which does not yet have a release date. Neuromancer was published July 1, 1984. Happy anniversary to Gibson a

The allure and terror of transferring your consciousness to a computer has long been fodder for cyberpunk novels and billionaire-backed immortality startups.
