engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-25 09:00:01

Dutch company Fairphone continues to lead the charge on consumer- and planet-friendly electronics, proving that a great phone doesn't have to be impossible to repair or environmentally unsustainable. The Fairphone 6 has just been released, coming two years after the last generation of the phone built to last. The folks over at iFixit wasted no time in conducting a teardown of this new entry to see how it stacks up against previous generations. The Fairphone 6 scored a perfect 10 out of 10, like

We're Not Innovating, We're Just Forgetting Slower

news.ycombinator.com About Brian Tristam Williams 2026-02-25 05:13:25

We’ve mistaken complexity for progress — and forgotten how things really work. A 41-year-old home computer still boots instantly, while today’s “smart” tech buckles under its own abstractions. My Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Home Computer still boots. Forty-one years after I first plugged it into our family’s wood-grain TV, it fires up in less than two seconds, ready to accept commands in TI BASIC. No updates required. No cloud connectivity.

What the Hell Just Happened to Spider-Gwen?

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-02-25 09:00:19

Marvel Comics is no stranger to a bit of brand synergy and consolidation. The more characters break out into the mainstream beyond the readership of comics, the more their comics counterparts are sanded down and chopped and changed to eventually better accommodate the potential for audiences who are aware of them through adaptation to go to the comics and find familiar fare. This has been especially true as the shadow of the MCU grew ever larger, reshaping characters and realigning destinies the

If you have a particular artificial intelligence tool that you tend to try first every time you're in need of an AI assist, you're not alone. According to a new survey, 91% of people who use AI have a favorite chatbot they try first, whether it's ChatGPT, Gemini, Alexa or something else. A Menlo Ventures survey of 5,000 adults found that this "default tool dynamic" means most people using AI have chosen a general AI tool they'll try first for every job, even if it's not necessarily the best too

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel

news.ycombinator.com Posted June 2026-02-25 10:32:10

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel The history of the bcachefs filesystem in the kernel has been turbulent, most recently with Linus Torvalds refusing a pull request for the 6.16-rc3 release. Torvalds has now pulled the code in question, but also said: I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window. You made it very clear that I can't even question any bug-fixes and I should just pull anything and everything. Honestly, at that point, I don't really feel comfortable being involved

For years, scientists have suspected that stars can meet their doom by a one-two punch of back-to-back explosions — but they've never seen visual evidence of this happening. That just changed. Astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile have taken the first-ever image of a star that died in a stellar "double-detonation," leaving behind a spectacular supernova remnant.

The U.S. House made it official Thursday, passing the so-called Big Beautiful Bill in a vote of 218-214. The bill, hailed by President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, is projected to strip at least 17 million people of health insurance over the next decade and add $3-4 trillion to the national debt.
