This is a project about onions and math. Why? Because tens of millions of people are curious about how to properly dice an onion, according to YouTube. In 2021, chef and food writer J. Kenji López-Alt broke out some math to get optimal uniform piece sizes. But there is more than one way to dice an onion… This is an onion. (Well, a simplified cross-section of one.)

Microsoft Probing Whether Israel Used Its Cloud to Build Palestinian Surveillance System

For the past two years, Microsoft has been dogged by accusations—both within and outside the company—that its technology is aiding the Israeli war effort. Microsoft’s own employees have protested the firm’s contracts with Israel, and protesters have disrupted the company’s various talks and conferences. Even the company’s 50th anniversary was ruined by shouts from one of its own employees, who reportedly yelled “Shame on you” while calling the company’s head of AI a “war profiteer” who was “usin

TCL D2 Pro Review: This Fast Palm-Scanning Smart Lock Is No Jedi Mind Trick

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-11-19 21:00:08

I love and hate smart locks. On one hand, it’s an undeniable treat to be able to get into my house even when I’ve forgotten my keys or make sure things are locked up when I’m away. But on the other, dead batteries, buggy software, and finicky wireless connections can evaporate that convenience, leaving me stuck on my porch, impotently stabbing my finger at a dead fingerprint sensor or waving my phone over a smart lock whose NFC reader just won’t respond.

Earlier this year, Nintendo helped popularize the microSD Express standard by requiring it for the new Switch 2 console. Created in 2019, the specification had languished in relative obscurity for years because the cheap, plentiful non-Express microSD cards were generally fast enough for the things that people were using them for, and because most hardware didn't support microSD Express cards in the first place.

My main message was to relax a bit, as companies abuse the hype cycle to distort what is actually happening.
