E-paper display reaches the realm of LCD screens

news.ycombinator.com Matthew S. Smith 2025-10-08 21:57:35

E-paper displays are prized for their readability and low power use, but they’ve long been dismissed as too slow for everyday computing. Modos, a two-person startup with open-hardware roots, thinks it has cracked part of that problem with a development kit capable of driving an e-paper display at refresh rates up to a record 75 hertz. The Modos Paper Monitor and Dev Kit, now available for crowdfunding on Crowd Supply, combines standard e-paper panels with an open source FPGA-based display cont

The biggest Apple Watch Ultra 3 display news is that it has the biggest Ultra display yet. However, there’s a smaller Ultra 3 display change that is a welcome arrival too. Last year, Apple Watch Series 10 introduced a new display feature that required updated hardware. For the first time, Apple Watch faces could display ticking seconds in always-on mode.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown quasi-moon that’s been shadowing Earth’s orbit for decades, undetected, and will likely remain there for a few decades more. The quasi-moon, named 2025 PN7, is one of around seven quasi-satellites that share Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii spotted the quasi-moon on August 2, according to a paper published in Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society.

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks. Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks.
