Were it not for Neil Gaiman getting caught up in a sexual misconduct scandal, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Sandman comics could have run for much longer given how much source material there is to be pulled from.

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-16 11:22:00

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

“Have we no shame?“: Trump’s NIH grant cuts appallingly illegal, judge rules

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-16 11:19:05

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G. Young ruled from the bench that the cuts were “void and illegal,” saying it was his “duty” to immediately order funding restored. “I would be blind not to call it out,” Young said,

Reverse-engineered PlayStation 1 motherboard runs original chips without emulation

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2026-03-16 16:56:00

Why it matters: Preserving retro games and hardware becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass and essential components grow rarer. Reverse engineering allows modders and repair shops to create substitutes that function identically to the original parts. Now, a new project aims to bring that level of flexibility to the original PlayStation. Italian engineer Lorentio Brodesco recently became the first person to successfully reverse-engineer the original PlayStation's motherboard, creating

The Hamburger-Menu Icon Today: Is It Recognizable?

news.ycombinator.com Kate Kaplan 2026-03-16 16:01:16

Summary: Hamburger menus are a more familiar pattern today than 10 years ago, but the same old best practices for hidden navigation still apply. Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger. The hamburger menu — which earned its nickname because of its abstract, stacked, hamburger-like appearance — was originally embraced as a clever way to save space on small screens by hiding the main navigation behind a single button.

The default TV setting you should turn off immediately - and why experts recommend it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-16 23:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic. This is what's called the "soap opera effect." Also: How to disable ACR on your TV (and why doing so makes such a big difference) It's a perfectly descriptive metaphor that probably requ

Is documentation like pineapple on pizza?

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Idaszak 2026-03-16 23:38:17

Internal software documentation is often a controversial topic. Many developers avoid writing it and aim to produce just enough to get the project running. If you browse discussions on platforms like Reddit or Quora, most questions about documentation focus on why it's so poorly done or disliked by developers. On the other hand, avoiding documentation slows down the team. It creates friction, forcing knowledge transfers to happen in person or requiring developers to reverse-engineer the code ju
