If you're using a friend or family member's free Prime shipping and you don't live in the same household, you might need to pay another monthly cost. According to Amazon's updated customer service page, first reported by The Verge, the retail giant is ending its Prime Invitee benefit-sharing program on Oct. 1. Amazon isn't the first company to prevent membership sharing between family and friends. The e-commerce giant is just the latest to follow Netflix's account-sharing crackdown. We also saw

Climate Experts Roast Joe Rogan After He Misinterprets Simple Graph to Claim Earth Is Cooling

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-13 17:27:47

Podcaster and former UFC commentator Joe Rogan isn’t exactly known for his scientific expertise, but Rogan’s recent claim that the Earth is cooling—ignoring decades of empirical evidence for global warming—is so egregious that climate experts are straight up roasting him for it. In several recent episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan has used a temperature graph in a Washington Post article in order to claim that global temperatures are actually plummeting. The graph in question comes fro

The Galaxy Tab S11 family is here, but should you upgrade from your older Galaxy tablet?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-14 17:00:20

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority While many of us still upgrade smartphones every 2–4 years on average, tablets tend to have a much longer shelf life. They’re typically used less often and for narrower purposes like video consumption or light productivity. With the arrival of the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra, you might be wondering whether now is finally the right time to replace your aging Galaxy tablet. The answer here isn’t so cut and dry.

Experimental Hook-and-Loop Attachment System for Walls and Floors

This ReCon Project, developed at Austria's Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), proposes a hook-and-loop fastening system for wall surfaces. While a true hook-and-loop arrangement (like that used in Velcro) isn't possible with rigid surfaces, the research team came up with a close approximation. Protrusions were cast into concrete, and a flexible sheet material was 3D printed with corresponding protrusions on one face, allowing the sheet to be non-permanently adhered to the concrete. "Such

Mangrove Restoration Frustration (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Katarina Zimmer 2025-10-12 04:13:14

If any single event was a watershed for conservation of the world's mangrove forests, it was the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. The day after Christmas that year, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake thundered along a fault line on the ocean floor with a force that sent waves — some a hundred feet high — surging toward the densely populated coasts encircling the Indian Ocean. The disaster took more than 225,000 lives. In the aftermath of the tsunami, some scientists reported that settlements behind swampy

Action was the best 8-bit programming language

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-10-15 20:25:54

There were many programming languages available for 8-bit computers, the most common being BASIC and Assembly Language, but there were also other lesser-used languages such as Logo, Forth, and Pilot. The languages that would go on to dominate 16-bit computing, C and Pascal, were also available but were usually severely limited. An 8-bit computer generally did not have enough horsepower to run those more complex language compilers. By 1983 Optimized Systems Software (OSS) was renown in the Atari

What’s the Story Behind ‘Tron: Ares?’ Our Report From the Set

“I have to ride a lightcycle.” That was my first thought last year when the invite arrived to visit the set of Disney’s new sequel, Tron: Ares. It seemed like a logical request. When you think of Tron, you think of lightcycles. They’re a huge part of both 2010’s Tron: Legacy and 1982’s Tron. And yet, I had to wonder, were there even lightcycles in this movie? What exactly WAS this movie? Coming out 15 years after the last one, with basically a whole new cast, it seemed any concept of what the fi

Canada Raids Compound of QAnon-Inspired Cult Leader, ‘Queen of Canada’

The cultural curse of QAnon may have largely dissipated in the U.S., but an alleged offshoot of the cult has been festering in a remote region of Canada. This week, police say they busted the group in a raid on a compound in a small village in southwest Saskatchewan. Authorities in Canada say they arrested 17 people in the village of Richmound on Wednesday. The arrests took place at a building where the group—which calls itself “The Kingdom of Canada”—had been living for approximately two years
