gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-10 22:00:42

When Foundation fans first met newlyweds Toran (Cody Fern) and Bayta (Synnøve Karlsen) Mallow, two things stood out: first, that last name, signifying Toran’s connection to season two hero Hober Mallow; second, the way their self-aware glamour made them very much resemble futuristic versions of the social media influencers we have today. But it was also apparent there was substance beneath the sparkle—and episode five, “Where Tyrants Spend Eternity,” explores that idea even more. io9 has an exc

Russia’s Colossal Earthquake May Have Ignited Multiple Volcanoes

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-11 03:55:09

The sixth strongest earthquake ever recorded struck Russia’s far east Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 and has seemingly triggered a string of nearby volcanoes. According to the United States Geological Survey, it’s not uncommon for large earthquakes to cause volcanic activity, though volcanoes will only erupt if they were already close to erupting on their own. Depending on its magnitude, the earthquake must also occur within a certain distance from the volcano. Klyuchevskaya, one of the highes

8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-12-11 08:22:00

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I like to read in bed before I nod off to sleep. Though I enjoy the feel and texture of a good, old-fashioned printed book, I typically turn to ebooks because they're easier on the eyes. And what do I use as a reader? No, not a Kindle, but my trusty iPad mini. Also: I finally found a tablet that can easily replace my iPad and Kindle (and is affordably priced) I've tried a couple of Kindles in the past, but didn't quite take to them.

Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

news.ycombinator.com Juha-Matti Santala 2025-12-11 08:36:01

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild. Whenever a software doesn’t offer direct file-based configuration, I feel sad because it means I need to take extra steps to keep my configuration across different devices in sync or when setting up a new machine.
