What Creaky Knees Really Mean for Your Long-Term Health

Here’s some potential good news for runners or people fresh off knee surgery: Your creaking knees might not indicate deeper health issues. New research finds that knee creaking is not associated with a greater risk of arthritis in people recovering from surgery. Scientists at La Trobe University in Australia led the study, which examined the long-term outcomes of young patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Though people with knee creaking did experience more pa

Disney to pay $10M to settle claims it collected kids’ data on YouTube

Disney will pay $10 million to settle claims by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that it mislabeled videos for children on YouTube, which allowed the collection of kids' personal information without their consent or notification to their parents. This occurred after the entertainment giant failed to tag kid-directed videos on YouTube as "Made for Kids" (MFK), a label that instructs the video streaming platform to block personal data collection and stop serving personalized ads on correctly des

I used my iPhone 15 Pro Max for over a year: Here's how the battery life has changed

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways My iPhone is less than 18 months old. It now cannot make it through a day without a recharge. Nothing appears abnormal in the settings, so what gives? Rather than do my usual and upgrade my iPhone again last year with only about a year on the clock, I decided to try what most people end up having to do -- keep it going for a few years.

Sharing a mutable reference between Rust and Python

As part of my ongoing project to reimplement Django’s templating language in Rust, I have been adding support for custom template tags. The simplest custom tag will look something like: # time_tags.py from datetime import datetime from django import template register = template . Library() @register.simple_tag def time (format_string): now = datetime . now() return now . strftime(format_string) # time_tags.py from datetime import datetime from django import template register = template .

Abstract Machine Models Also: what Rust got particularly right

Ever since 2010, I have studied the “meta” of software, by studying (and thinking about) the continued dialogue between programming language designers, computer designers, and programmers. The following constitutes a snapshot of my current thinking. Epistemological context During the period 2008-2012, I was requested to help design&build programming tools for a proposed new microprocessor architecture. The details of said architecture do not matter here; what is interesting is that folk in tha

Today, I learned that eels are fish

Let’s dive right in: for most of history, we didn’t really know where eels come from. Which is strange, because they’re everywhere—rivers, lakes, oceans. Even now, we only have the faintest sense of where they spawn or how. Their lives remain partly hidden, and that blank space has always invited stories. Aristotle thought they slithered out of mud, giving the primordial ooze its first big break. Another tale claimed they rose from sea foam, like a grotesque remix of Aphrodite’s birth. Japa

New York’s ‘Big Bang Machine’ Passes Critical First Test

sPHENIX is a next-generation particle detector that probes the mysterious, soupy form of the early universe. We know very little about the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. We have theories, most of which we’re still double- and triple-checking to see if they actually make scientific sense. The research process can seem tedious at times, but a newcomer from Long Island offers promising advances in our quest to understand how our universe came to be. In a recent paper for the Journal o

AI Can't Dance. But It Says These Are the Catchiest Songs of All Time

Catchy songs have been around as long as there's been music, but it's still a mystery makes a song stick in our minds. I recently chaperoned the all-night graduation party at my daughter's high school. After hanging out at an all-games-and-rides-free arcade until 2 a.m., we took the graduates on chartered buses to a private all-ages nightclub in downtown Seattle. It boasted free unlimited fountain soda and snacks, a photo booth with props, a trivia contest, glow necklaces and, best of all, a da

Just one word in the Google antitrust ruling was worth $20B a year to Apple

For more than a year now, there have been debates about whether Google’s payment to Apple to be the default search engine in Safari would be outlawed. While it had seemed likely this would be the case, what we got was a compromise ruling. It turned out that the difference between Apple earning $20 billion a year and $0 hinged on a single word … It had seemed likely both companies would lose The ruling just over a year ago was very clear: Google’s deal with Apple to be the default search engin

No place in children's hands: <16s in UK to be banned from buying energy drinks

Under-16s in England will be banned from buying energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster because they fuel obesity, cause sleep problems and leave them unable to concentrate. Health experts, teaching unions and dentists welcomed the ban and said it would boost children and young people’s health. It fulfils a pledge Labour included in its manifesto for last year’s general election. “How can we expect children to do well at school if they have the equivalent of a double espresso in their syste

Smartphone Buyers Care Even Less About AI Than They Did Last Year, CNET Survey Finds

AI has become a staple of just about every new phone, but that doesn't mean it's a centerpiece of most people's lives. A CNET survey finds that just 11% of US smartphone owners choose to upgrade their devices because of AI features, a 7% drop from a similar survey last year. Further, about 3 in 10 people don't find mobile AI helpful and don't want to see more features added. Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews.
