Gaslight-driven development Any person who has used a computer in the past ten years knows that doing meaningless tasks is just part of the experience. Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, dismiss notifications, solve captchas, reject cookies, and accept terms and conditions—not because they particularly want to or even need to. They do it because that’s what the computer told them to do. Like it or not, we are already serving the machines. Well, now there is a new way to serve

Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year’s oddest-looking smartphone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalo

Colossal Eruption Carves ‘Canyon of Fire’ Onto the Sun’s Surface

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large filament—cold, dense ribbons of gas suspended above the Sun’s surface—that they spotted days before the explosion.
