Magical Systems Thinking

The systems that enable modern life share a common origin. The water supply, the internet, the international supply chains bringing us cheap goods: each began life as a simple, working system. The first electric grid was no more than a handful of electric lamps hooked up to a water wheel in Godalming, England, in 1881. It then took successive decades of tinkering and iteration by thousands of very smart people to scale these systems to the advanced state we enjoy today. At no point did a single

60 years after Gemini, newly processed images reveal incredible details

Six decades have now passed since some of the most iconic Project Gemini spaceflights. The 60th anniversary of Gemini 4, when Ed White conducted the first US spacewalk, came in June. The next mission, Gemini 5, ended just two weeks ago, in 1965. These missions are now forgotten by most Americans, as most of the people alive during that time are now deceased. However, during these early years of spaceflight, NASA engineers and astronauts cut their teeth on a variety of spaceflight firsts, flying

Big Businesses Are Doing Carbon Dioxide Removal All Wrong

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s foremost authority on the topic. But only some types of carbon removal are actually effective—and these are largely not the kind that major companies are investing in. A new report from the NewClimate Institute, a European think

Switching from iPhone to Pixel 10 feels like time travel into AI’s future

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Imagine the opening scene of a sci-fi movie. You swipe up to unlock your phone. The camera zooms into the screen, and suddenly you’re hurled through infinite space at light speed — stars, comets, and debris flashing past until you land in a dimension centuries ahead of what you left behind. That’s exactly how switching to the Pixel 10 felt after living with iPhone’s AI (non)efforts. Okay, maybe there’s a tiny bit of exaggeration there, but the sentiment is re

How to Watch the 77th Emmy Awards Without Cable

The Emmy Awards are nearly here, meaning your favorite TV shows from the past year may be taking home some well-deserved wins. I guess it's time to once again start the comedy-or-drama debate about The Bear. The Emmys eligibility rules say programs must have premiered new episodes between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025. This year's top contenders feature one from Netflix (the limited series Adolescence), two from Apple TV Plus (Severance and The Studio) and HBO's The Penguin. Presenters this y

Chatbox app is back on the US app store

Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO. We were the fir

Tips for installing Windows 98 in QEMU/UTM

Windows 98 runs surprisingly well in QEMU via UTM SE, but it requires some care in setting it up. It’s a great way to run old 90s Windows and DOS software on your iPad (and Mac too, though you have other options available to you, or an iPhone if you don’t mind the HID difficulties). This post provides some suggestions and tips for installing Windows and selecting the best emulated devices. The guidance is intended for UTM users on Apple platforms, but should apply to anything QEMU based (or QEM

I used standard Emacs extension-points to extend org-mode

Recently I read this beginners guide to extend Emacs. The guide is perfect for starting out with elisp and it shows a lot of care in teaching how to interact with Emacs. To me, the most important bit though is this one, from the section aptly named Emacs Wants You to Extend It. I haven’t written plugins for other editors extensively, but I can tell you this: emacs doesn’t just make deep customization available, but it actively encourages you to make an absolute customization messes masterpiece

Sharing Your YouTube Premium Plan? Your Service Could Be Paused

That popular workaround for sharing a YouTube Premium family plan with friends and relatives in different homes is now squarely in Google's crosshairs. A new wave of enforcement has begun, with subscribers reporting they've received emails warning that their account access will be suspended. The ultimatum is clear: confirm all members live at the same address within 15 days, or lose your premium perks. And now that's something you should watch out for, whether you plan to stream videos or listen

When Astronauts Enter Space, a "Dark Genome" Activates in Their DNA

Image by Getty / NASA / Futurism Studies Researchers have found that human stem cells are constantly under stress in the microgravity of space — activating hidden, ancient sections of DNA called the "dark genome." In a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell last week, a team of researchers led by Sanford Stem Cell Institute director Catriona Jamieson used a cellphone-sized device on board the International Space Station to watch how stem cells behave in space for the first time. They f

Amazon Prime Shared Free Shipping Faces Crackdown Next Month

If you're using someone else's Amazon Prime membership for their free shipping but you don't live in the same household, you might need to pay another monthly cost soon. According to Amazon's updated customer service page, the online retail giant is ending its Prime Invitee benefit-sharing program on Oct. 1. Amazon's Prime Invitee program is being replaced by Amazon Family, as reported earlier by The Verge, which includes many of the same benefits. However, Amazon Family only works for up to t

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port. He says he's "well and truly burned out." LocalThunk

Exxon Says It Invented a New Graphite That Could Boost EV Batteries

ExxonMobil, the country’s largest oil and gas company, says it has developed a more advanced form of graphite that could help extend the lifespan of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. CEO Darren Woods called the technology a “revolutionary step change in battery performance” at the University of Texas at Austin’s Energy Symposium on Friday. He said it’s already being tested by several EV manufacturers, Bloomberg reports. This new synthetic graphite is used on a battery’s anode, its negative elec

The Incredible Part of Meta's Next Smart Glasses Could Be on Your Wrist

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them. Meta's research in EMG -- electromyography, or sensing muscle impulses via electrical signals using wearable sensors -- is becoming a reality. I expect Meta to release that neural band as an accessory to a new

Mario, Metroid, Virtual Boy and more: all the biggest announcements from today's Nintendo Direct

Whenever there's a Nintendo Direct in September, you can be pretty sure that it'll be a major edition of the showcase. Given that Friday's one was scheduled to be about an hour long and that Nintendo has a whole new console to put games on, it was already likely that there was going to be a lot of news. Even then, it managed to be a jam-packed Direct. Let's take a look at all the biggest announcements from the showcase, including what's obviously the most important one: a Switch 2 version of Ov

The 6 Biggest Moments in the Shocking ‘Foundation’ Season 3 Finale

Foundation season three has come to an end, but it still feels like there’s so much story left to tell. Thank goodness Apple TV+ confirmed just yesterday that season four is on the way! But before we ponder what’s next, we must discuss the season finale. “The Darkness” was… well, a lot sure did happen, didn’t it? Here are the six most important takeaways from the Foundation season three finale. The first two are admittedly not too outrageous, but buckle up for the rest. The Foundation Finally

Pixel phones might soon stream emergencies in real-time just like iPhones (APK teardown)

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new feature that will allow you to share live video with emergency services. It appears the feature will work similarly to the Emergency SOS Live Video feature Apple introduced to iOS 18 last year. It’s unclear if this feature will be exclusive to Pixels or available for all Android devices. Pixel phones offer a range of features that can prove helpful in the case of an emergency. For example, there’s Car Crash Detection, Safety Che

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released on December 4 for Switch and Switch 2

The long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is coming on December 4 to both the original Switch and the recently-released Switch 2, as announced during today's Nintendo Direct livestream. The Switch 2 is getting a dedicated version with upscaled graphics and some other bells and whistles, just like the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A. We already knew the next Metroid would drop sometime in 2025, but it's nice to have an actual release date. We got a nifty trailer for the first-person adventure earli

FTC investigating ad sale practices at Google and Amazon

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether Amazon and Google misled advertisers regarding the pricing and terms for their ads. As first reported by Bloomberg , the investigation is being conducted by the agency's consumer protection unit, and centers around the auction-style sale of advertising space by the companies. Google sells ads using automated auctions that run after a user enters a search query. These auctions take place in less than a second. Amazon uses real-time auctions t

A beginner's guide to extending Emacs

With that prelude out of the way, let's begin. Inside of emacs you can call up a list of potential completions by using the keyboard shortcut M-. (that’s "hit the meta key along with period", where "meta" is the Alt key for me). This applies in a wide variety of scenarios, like when completing class names or variables. If we want to ask emacs to hand us a list of potential references, then the system we want to hook into is this completions system. (This is the only time I'll assume we know wh

This is the Most Effective Type of Creatine You Should Be Taking to See Results, According to Registered Dietitians

If you look in the supplement aisle at your local pharmacy, you'll likely find different forms of creatine in gummies, powders, capsules and even drink mixes. That's because creatine is a popular fitness supplement for those who want to gain strength and power while improving performance. It's also naturally made in our bodies and assists our muscles with energy production when we work out. Though creatine can be found in smaller quantities in foods like salmon, chicken, beef and pork, many peo
