Russia’s throttling of Cloudflare makes sites inaccessible

Starting June 9, 2025, Russian internet service providers (ISPs) began throttling access to websites and services protected by Cloudflare, making sites inaccessible from the country. The throttling is so aggressive, reportedly only allowing users to download the first 16 KB of any web asset, that it effectively breaks most Cloudflare-backed sites for Russian netizens. Cloudflare maintains that it has not received formal communication about this from the Russian state but considers this action

These premium outdoor speakers impressed me in more ways than Bluetooth can - here's why

ZDNET's key takeaways The Polk Audio Atrium 5 speakers are available for $325 a pair, offering a sleek and weatherproof design. These speakers have a crisp, detailed, and surprisingly deep sound profile.

My Lights Run on Bash – Tomasz Kramkowski

My Lights Run on Bash Among the many hobbies that modern nerds pick up, one has recently become incredibly popular: making everything in your house dangerously unreliable by inserting a bunch of software where previously simple wires had sufficed. In this post, I describe how I replaced the wires between my lights and my light switches with some Bash. Bash as critical infrastructure? Am I alright? Do I need to see a psychiatrist? These are all good questions, but let's leave them for another p

Weird Expressions in Rust

Rust has a very powerful type system, but as a result it has some quirks, some would say cursed expressions. There’s a test file, weird-expr.rs , in the rust repository that tests for some of these and makes sure there consistent between updates. So I wanted to go over each of these and explain how it’s valid rust. Note that these are not bugs, but rather extreme cases of rust features like loops, expressions, coercion and so on. Strange fn strange () -> bool { let _x : bool = return true ;}

This Action Camera Is Practically Free Compared to GoPro for Amazon Early Prime Day, Stock Is Limited

Whether you’ve got kids, pets, or just friends who are more than a little extroverted, it can be nice to have a really solid action camera. Not every camera can handle capturing action as it happens, let alone when things go underwater or especially quickly. That’s where a good action camera really shines, but they can also be really expensive. They don’t have to be though. See at Amazon Today, you can pick up the Akaso EK7000 Action Camera for just $53. That’s 34% off the usual price of $80,

Supreme Court Says Age Verification Laws for Porn Sites Are Constitutional

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that states with laws requiring age verification for porn sites is constitutional. The case, known as Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton (Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas), was decided 6-3 with the court’s three liberal justices dissenting. The Texas law, which requires age verification using a credit card or a government-issued ID document, went into effect in 2023 and Pornhub started blocking access to the site in the Lone Star State in protest.

Nothing’s Phone 3 Hasn’t Even Launched and It’s Already Pissing People Off

Nothing’s Phone 3 hasn’t officially launched yet, but thanks to what looks like a major leak from Android Headlines, the internet—as it often does—is having some discourse. Just like with Nothing’s incoming Headphone 1, leaks suggest that the company is taking a pretty big swing on the design for its flagship phone, and I’m not sure if that swing is quite connecting. Name a bigger downgrade pic.twitter.com/f3k2SBl69b — Noah Cat (@Cartidise) June 26, 2025 One of the biggest changes is that the

Mortgage Rate Predictions: Will Military Conflict, Tariffs and the Fed Keep Rates High?

Buyers should keep an eye on the possibility of rate cuts in the next few months. Tharon Green/CNET The housing market is hardly immune to political and economic volatility, yet mortgage rates have been eerily calm over the last period. Since the spring, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has moved in a mostly narrow range around 6.8% and 7%. Mortgage rates were expected to gradually improve in 2025. However, the Trump administration's inflationary tariffs, deficit spending and geop

Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data

With Comcast trying to figure out how to stop losing broadband customers, the cable firm yesterday announced new plans that are available nationwide and do not have data caps. Comcast said it is offering "four simple national Internet tiers that include unlimited data and the advanced Xfinity WiFi Gateway for one low monthly price." Customers whose current plans have data caps won't automatically get unlimited data and would have to switch to a new plan to remove that annoying limit from their

Space Elevators Could Totally Work—if Earth Days Were Much Shorter

Suppose you could speed up Earth’s rotation so that a day was only half as long? What would happen? Well, for starters we’d have to make new clocks that only have hours 1 to 6 for am and pm. If you had tickets to an 8 o’clock concert, you’d be out of luck: 8 o’clock no longer exists. But maybe a more germane question is, why do physicists ask nutty questions like this? It’s never going to happen—just move on, right? Well, here’s the deal. Thinking about counterfactual scenarios gives us insight

The Personalized Learning Revolution: An EdTech Insider’s Perspective

Back in the 90s, when I was in school, education was like a uniform everyone had to wear—the same textbooks, the same blackboard, and the same hurried lessons for all. If you fell behind, your only lifeline was to awkwardly raise your hand in the middle of class or spend hours in the library after school, rifling through reference books. Fast forward 30 years, and it’s fascinating how far we’ve come. Today, thanks to AI/ML, we have adaptive learning systems—tailored to each student based on thei

As Tesla sales fall, Elon Musk fires top manufacturing executive

What just happened? What is a CEO to do when a company's sales continue to fall? If you're Elon Musk, the answer is to fire your vice president of manufacturing and operations in North America and Europe. Omead Afshar was promoted to the role in 2024, having joined the company in 2017 and spending years working in "the office of the CEO." After Bloomberg reported that Afshar had left the EV giant, Forbes wrote that he had been fired by Musk. The billionaire had previously praised Afshar for lea
