Tesla co-founder JB Straubel is using old EV batteries to power AI data centers

As demand for energy skyrockets amid the rise of AI, one of Tesla 's co-founders is betting on a new solution: giving old electric vehicle batteries a second-life.

More than two hard disks in DOS

news.ycombinator.com Posted On 2025-12-23 11:19:27

Investigating the rather odd behavior of the Microsoft OS/2 1.21 disk driver led me to Compaq and their EXTDISK.SYS driver. While experimenting with various setups, I realized that DOS versions older than 5.0 do not support more than two hard disks exposed by the system’s BIOS, and will in fact quite likely hang early during boot-up if there are “too many” hard disks. This seems to have been one of the many things that “everyone knew” back in the day, similar to the fact that DOS versions older

Was Jesus Really Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin? 3D Study Says Probably Not

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-23 14:50:26

The Shroud of Turin is an ancient linen cloth with the subtle impression of the front and back of a crucified man. While many believe it was the burial shroud in which Jesus was wrapped when he died in the 30s CE, scientific research has dated it to between 1260 and 1390 CE, suggesting it’s a medieval artifact. An ingenious new approach using 3D scans is now adding further credence to the suggestion that Jesus’s body—or any body for that matter—never touched this famous fabric. Cicero Moraes, a
