engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-18 00:30:17

France is investigating whether X has manipulated its algorithm and engaged in "fraudulent data extraction." Prosecutors are looking into if the social media platform engaged in election interference. They launched the investigation on July 11, following reports in January. It has labelled X as an "organized gang."

I’m Revisiting All of the Naked Gun Movies Before the Reboot. Here’s How You Can, Too

Growing up, the Naked Gun series was a staple in my household. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year. These days, it’s easier to revisit old favorites through streaming services, but that box set still sits proudly in my media drawers. Even today, I find the straight-faced humor gut-bustlingly hilarious.

Google Maps just made controlling your music a navigation nightmare

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-18 11:58:33

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps v25.28 stable and v25.29 beta have removed in-app media playback controls. The removed feature allowed easy access to play, browse suggestions, or open the default music app. It’s unclear if the removal was intentional or just a bug, as the functionality still exists on iOS.

Log by Time, not by Count July 20, 2025 "How to Log" is a surprisingly deep topic in software engineering with many different viewpoints, and they're almost all valid in different situations. I'm going to argue that when processing lots of events, it's best to log every X seconds, rather than every X messages. This is a simple concept, but I've never seen it written down before.

New colors without shooting lasers into your eyes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-14 10:01:17

1. Your eyes sense color. They do this because you have three different kinds of cone cells on your retinas, which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. For whatever reason, evolution decided those wavelengths should be overlapping. For example, M cones are most sensitive to 535 nm light, while L cones are most sensitive to 560 nm light. But M cones are still stimulated quite a lot by 560 nm light—around 80% of maximum. This means you never (normally) get to experience having just o
