One of China’s Largest Tech Companies Just Copied Apple’s Biggest Flop

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-16 08:30:17

Apple has had some misses in the past (looking at you, G4 Cube), but in recent times, arguably no piece of hardware has been a bigger flop than the Vision Pro. But just because sales for Apple’s $3,500 face computer have been tepid at best hasn’t stopped competitors from conjuring up their own lookalikes. That includes Samsung and its upcoming Project Moohan headset running Android XR, and now, an almost laughably close lookalike out of China from smartphone maker Vivo. If Project Moohan takes

If the songbirds in your neighborhood are waking you up earlier and chirping well into the evening, blame light pollution. Artificial light touches nearly every corner of Earth’s surface, and a new study shows that it’s messing with birds’ biological clocks. Researchers analyzed a global acoustic dataset of more than 60 million recorded birdsongs representing more than 580 diurnal bird species.

An Interactive Guide to SVG Paths

news.ycombinator.com Josh W. Comeau 2025-11-13 00:19:05

Introduction The SVG <path> element is notoriously tricky. When I first encountered it, I found it totally inscrutable. Its syntax isn’t quite as bad as Regex, but it has the same sort of “what on earth?” vibes. At the same time, <path> elements are also incredibly useful. They’re the only way to create curved shapes in SVG, beyond full ellipses. And once you get the hang of it, they’re actually quite a lot of fun to use!
