Over 30 years later, a rare LaserDisc game console gets its first PC emulator

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-20 06:57:19

Here in the year 2025, it's not every day that a classic gaming console from the 20th century becomes playable via emulation for the first time. But that's just what happened last week with the release of Ares v146 and its first-of-its-kind support for Mega LD titles designed for the Pioneer LaserActive. Even retro console superfans would be forgiven for not knowing about the LaserActive, a pricey LaserDisc player released in 1994 alongside swappable hardware modules that could add support for

Is three better than two? Apparently, we're about to find out again. Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on Sept. 29 in its third Unpacked event of 2025. At the same time, the company will introduce its Project Moohan mixed reality headset and AI smart glasses. If Samsung does indeed unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold later this month, it would be the second triple-screen phone in existence. Huawei last year rolled out its Mate XT in China, and we kinda sorta liked it.

Quirks of Common Lisp Types

By Colin on 2025-08-30 "But I need types," he told me. Humans have a tendency toward binary thinking (pardon the pun). If it's not A, it's B. Perhaps because Lisps have REPLs, they are often thought of from the outside as being dynamic, interpreted languages. Our years of Python have taught us that such languages don't really have strong typing - it's all a wild guess until the interpreter calls foo on a and b and we find out who everyone really is.

Hungry Worms Could Help Solve Plastic Pollution

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-21 15:30:00

Plastics that support modern life are inexpensive, strong, and versatile, but are difficult to dispose of and have a serious impact when released into the environment. Polyethylene, in particular, is the most widely produced plastic in the world, with more than 100 million tons distributed annually. Since it can take decades to decompose—and along the way can harm wildlife and degrade into harmful microplastics—its disposal is an urgent issue for mankind. In 2017, European researchers discovere

These three features would make Apple’s rumored AI smart glasses a huge winner

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-22 10:17:01

Apple is reportedly launching its own AI smart glasses next year, per a Bloomberg report. While Apple is very much so late to the category, I do think there are a number of great value adds Apple could bring to the table – which I’ll be outlining here. I bought a pair of Meta Ray-Bans during Black Friday last year, and I’ve got to say – they’re a lot cooler than I expected them to be. They’re excellent for taking quick photos and videos without needing to pull out your phone, asking quick quest

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo
