wired.com Tess Owen 2025-11-27 23:08:18

In a reel shared to Instagram on February 14, an account identifying itself with a group called The 13th Northeast Guerillas put out a call to prospective recruits in Vermont and New Hampshire. What they advertised was fairly benign on its surface: fitness, community, preparation, survivalist training. The video was set to the tune of Kendrick Lamar’s “TV Off” and featured a rapid succession of highly edited images showing armed men posing in the wilderness in tactical gear. They sometimes wore

Have a Headache? These Are the Best Foods to Help Relieve It

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-28 00:39:00

Headaches can be annoying and persistent, and taking aspirin or simply lying down may not always help. If that sounds like you, you may want to look at changing your plate of food for more relief. Of course, just changing what food you consume won't automatically cure headaches or migraines, but some foods may help ease them when they arrive -- in addition to hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management. Tracking those habits and symptoms over time can be easier with the right smartwatch. "

iPhone 17 Pro could redefine Apple’s Pro color strategy

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-28 16:08:06

After two years of titanium iPhone Pro models and many more years of stainless steel, Apple is rumored to be switching to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro. Titanium, instead, will be used on the ultra thin iPhone 17 Air. That may seem like a step away from premium materials for the Pro model. For anyone bored by variations of gray for Apple’s best iPhones, however, it appears to be good news. The reason comes down to color.

Great Myths #16: The Conflict Thesis

The “Conflict Thesis” forms a kind of underlying historial metamyth that informs and undergirds a substantial amount of historical assumptions by anti-theist polemicists. This is the assumed and unquestioned idea that Science and Religion have been perpetually at war down the ages. Also known as the Draper-White Thesis or Warfare Model, it is a conception of the history of science that presents religion as the perpetual and consistent enemy of science, technology and progress.

Apple Watch gets reformulated, non-patent-infringing blood oxygen monitoring

In early 2024, Apple removed a blood oxygen monitoring feature from its then-current Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches, following a ruling that the feature violated light-based pulse oximetry patents from a California-based company called Masimo.
