Apple wrapped it its ‘Awe dropping’ launch event for the new iPhone models, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3 yesterday. While the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are much more interesting – I think the base model iPhone 17 will actually end up being a sleeper hit.

AMD Turin PSP binaries analysis from open-source firmware perspective

However, we faced various obstacles and problems. Despite AMD publishing a set of blobs required for the Turin system initialization, they turned out to be not enough to release the CPU from reset by PSP.

When you write tests against a web page, you need to refer to elements within that web page in order to click links and determine what's displayed. However, if you write tests that manipulate the HTML elements directly your tests will be brittle to changes in the UI. A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML. The basic rule of thumb for a page object is that it should allow a softw

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

news.ycombinator.com Stephen Follows 2025-10-04 01:43:26

Colour is one of the quickest ways a poster can tell you what kind of film it’s selling. Before you’ve read the title or registered the actors, your brain has already clocked the palette and filed it against a lifetime of genre expectations. Over the past century, marketing teams have shifted from painterly illustration to photography and from saturated Technicolor hues to today’s more controlled, strategic colour use.
