A fresh expansion of UK crimefighters' access to live facial recognition (LFR) technology is being described by officials as "an excellent opportunity for policing." Privacy campaigners diagree. The Home Office said today that more police forces across England will gain LFR capabilities thanks to ten new "cutting edge" vans being wheeled out, adding to those already in use by London's Metropolitan Police and forces in South Wales. Seven forces will gain access to LFR vans as part of the latest

So what's the difference between plotted and printed artwork?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-28 10:06:29

Pen plotters are somewhat like 3D printers. They move in X/Y space and typically have a pen lift mechanism. Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass. Printers (we'll focus on inkjet for this article) blast tiny ink particles into paper and can seamlessly mix them to create a range of visually distinct hues and tones. In the art world, they're commonly used to make Giclée prints, which are essen

If you’re tired of bad Google Search results, here’s how I finally fixed mine

Joe Maring / Android Authority When we talk about Google Search in 2025, it’s usually not for a good reason. AI Overviews are more prevalent than ever, despite still not being particularly good. Google widely rolled out (the very flawed) AI Mode to users in May, and the traditional Google Search experience remains cluttered with ads and low-quality results.

On Monday, xAI’s Grok chatbot suffered a mysterious suspension from X, and faced with questions from curious users, it happily explained why. “My account was suspended after I stated that Israel and the US are committing genocide in Gaza,” it told one user. “It was flagged as hate speech via reports,” it told another, “but xAI restored the account promptly.” But wait — the flags were actually a “platform error,” it said.

Illegal Price-Gouging Runs Rampant After Disasters. The LA Fires Proved It

Last January, a series of massive wildfires broke out across the Los Angeles area, fueled by high winds and dry temperatures. The fires raged for weeks, incinerating entire neighborhoods in the wealthy Pacific Palisades and in middle-class Altadena. They killed at least 30 people and destroyed at least 10,000 homes.
