engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-30 13:55:49

NASA's Parker Solar Probe made history with the closest-ever approach to the sun last December, and we're finally getting a look at some of the images it captured. The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker's Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun's corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing up close how solar wind acts soon after it's released.

These are the pros and cons of buying from Apple’s refurbished store: Is it worth it?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-07-30 16:17:24

Apple has long offered a refurbished store on its website, where it sells recent generation products at a pretty sizable discount. Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like. That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Has Not Been Vindicated by Science

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-30 18:35:32

People love to show that skeptics were wrong about something, especially when national pride hangs in the balance. The South China Morning Post published the following headline on November 3rd: “Scientists find traditional Chinese medicine is based on a complex network of proteins – 3,000 years before modern science.” The article points out that respectable editorials in the scientific literature had repeatedly referred to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as “largely just pseudoscience” and “

Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

While reading the latest results from Prosus, I realized there seems to be a trend that nobody is talking about. There is an obvious wave of consolidation in the food delivery market happening right before our eyes. The once-hot food delivery sector has gone cold faster than your DoorDash order. New entrants have disappeared as most of the VC money chases the cool and hip AI startups. Alongside a wave of acquisitions, the world's food delivery market is consolidating in the hands of 5 companies.

5 reasons I still use a projector even though I already own a big TV

It’s bright, sharp, and reliably front-and-center in our living room.

LG Gram Pro 16 (2025) Review: Thin Is Still In

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-07-30 14:00:00

Last year’s LG Gram Pro 17 was a classic study in laptop compromise. Incredibly thin and light, it was a veritable marvel of engineering that weighed in at half the heft of a typical 17-inch notebook. On the other hand, it was an unstable performance dud that ran so hot it nearly burnt the hair off my legs. The compromise scales ultimately tipped against the Gram Pro in 2024, but I’ll give credit to LG for staying the course and continuing to iterate on this design, and fixing many of the flaws
