Philips Norelco i9000 Shaver Review (2025): A Close Shave

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-10-01 22:37:00

You never really expect your shaver to have an opinion about you. And yet here I was, receiving a failing grade from Philips Norelco’s new i9000 Prestige Ultra shaver, released this spring. According to a phone app paired to the device, I had apparently been using my shaver wrong. I'd pressed too daintily, whispering along my skin too lightly for an optimal shave. My stats were, in fact, downright abysmal. I had applied optimal pressure just 30 percent of the time. By extension, I had probably

Formatting code should be unnecessary and we knew this back in the 80s I had a (maybe slightly overqualified) computer science teacher back in highschool, Mr. Paige. He worked on the Ada compiler and has been programming since the early 80s. One day I complained about linter tooling that was driving me nuts. I said something to the effect of, "it's 2016, how are we still dealing with this sort of thing?" Turns out, that problem was solved four decades ago (well, three at that point). Back wh

Scientists Intrigued by Non-Human Skull Embedded in Cave Wall

Scientists believe they're close to solving an ancient mystery involving a strange hominin skull, neither Neanderthal nor human, that was found fused to a cave wall — with a stalagmite sticking out of the top, to complete the eerie scene — in Macedonia, Greece. In a new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, researchers from France's Institut de Paléontologie Humaine (or Human Paleontology Institute in English) claim they've been able to place an age on the "Petralona cranium," whic

Prehistoric Skull Found Fused to Cave Wall May Have Belonged to Mysterious Ancient Hominid

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-07 01:56:20

In 1960, a villager found something terrifyingly creepy in Greece’s Petralona cave—a humanoid cranium with a protrusion on its forehead, fused to the cave wall. Since then, researchers have been trying to date the strange specimen and understand how it got there, but these efforts so far have yielded only a frustratingly broad age range of between around 170,000 and 700,000 years. The skull’s ambiguous stratigraphic position is also less than helpful. So a team of researchers took a slightly di

Tesla’s ad spend on X has shrunk to almost nothing

Tesla spent $400,000 advertising on Elon Musk’s social media platform X in 2024, according to a new regulatory filing. But the automaker appears to be on track to spend just a fraction of that in 2025 as sales have struggled. In the first two months of 2025, Tesla spent $10,000 on X ads, putting it on track to spend only $60,000 annually unless it radically increases its advertising for the remainder of the year.
