Numbers (sort of) and some punctuation marks are included. You can probably read this, even if you wish you couldn't. It tends to be easier to read at smaller sizes. Try it out below, or download it (under CC BY-SA license, so you can use it commercially but you have to give credit).

After Ukrainian testing, drone-detection radar doubles range with simple software patch

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces. Many of these drones are Shahed/Geran types built with technology imported from

Formatting code should be unnecessary

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

TIFF 2025: Frankenstein, Knives Out 3, and all the biggest movies from Toronto

The Toronto International Film Festival is almost like a preview of the movie slate for the next few months — and this year I’m watching as much as possible to give you all the scoop on what’s ahead. To do that, I’ll be writing a dispatch covering every movie I’ve seen that day, which will run daily throughout most of the festival. That includes bigger movies you probably already know about, like Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man and Frankenstein, along with hopefully some great new films you maybe wer

Porsche and Audi's EVs can now recharge on any Tesla Supercharger in North America

Starting September 9, Porsche and Audi will be the latest non-Tesla brands to utilize the Supercharger network. The two automakers announced that some of their owners will get adapters that allow them to charge via the NACS port, which Tesla developed and opened up to other automakers. The rollout comes after the Volkswagen Group, which owns both Porsche and Audi, announced that it would implement NACS compatibility for Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Scout Motors in December 2023.

‘Witch Hat Atelier’ Anime Gets Delayed Into 2026

Bad news for anyone looking forward to watching the anime adaptation of Witch Hat Atelier: it’s leaving 2026 and coming sometime next year. Animation studio Bug Films announced the delay on Twitter, explaining it needed more time to “deliver the charm of the work with even higher quality. All staff are working hard on the production, and we sincerely apologize for this disappointing news to everyone who has been looking forward to the broadcast.” Before now, Bug was pretty quiet about it since

Canada Raids Compound of QAnon-Inspired Cult Leader, ‘Queen of Canada’

The cultural curse of QAnon may have largely dissipated in the U.S., but an alleged offshoot of the cult has been festering in a remote region of Canada. This week, police say they busted the group in a raid on a compound in a small village in southwest Saskatchewan. Authorities in Canada say they arrested 17 people in the village of Richmound on Wednesday. The arrests took place at a building where the group—which calls itself “The Kingdom of Canada”—had been living for approximately two years

Trump’s New History Exhibit Features Fake Quotes From AI-Generated Founding Fathers

The White House recently commissioned a new history exhibit in Washington, D.C. created by the far-right “education” group PragerU. The exhibit features 82 paintings and 40 AI videos, presenting a rather distorted view of America’s founding. The AI-generated videos even include fake quotes from the founding fathers, including one that seems like a joke. But the folks at PragerU are serious about their mission, even if the intention is to own the libs. What kind of quotes are we talking about?

Introduction to Ada: a project-based exploration with rosettas

Context This practical walkthrough, designed as a short tutorial, was created upon joining AdaCore as a Field Engineer. In this new role, I’ll be working directly with customers to help them succeed with Ada.

I tried Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds' AI noise cancelling, and can't go back to regular ANC

Jada Jones/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Bose's second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2 debut with one major AI-powered upgrade.

It’s surprisingly easy to remove Google’s digital AI watermark on the Pixel 10

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Like the Samsung Galaxy S25, Google’s new Pixel 10 series is adopting C2PA metadata for digital media authenticity. Anytime the phones take a photo or edit it, they embed a watermark in the final image that traces its origin and any changes made to it. Google, like Samsung, is following this standard to help combat all inevitable confusion around an image’s provenance and veracity on the internet. Is this photo real or AI? Or is it real with AI embellishments?

This New iOS 26 Battery Feature Could Extend Your iPhone's Daily Power

I don't know anyone who's satisfied with their phone's battery life. We always want more power so we don't wind up with a tapped-out phone at the end of the day or the need to carry a portable charger everywhere. So I'm very curious to see how Adaptive Power affects iPhone battery life when iOS 26 is released, likely soon after the iPhone 17 is announced at Apple's Sept. 9 fall event. Currently, the iPhone uses as much power as it needs to perform its tasks. You can extend the battery life by d

Lego Will No Longer Ship Individual Pieces Thanks to Trump Tariffs

The aftershocks of President Trump’s tariffs are hitting major retailers around the world. As global shipping is set to get more expensive, most industries, including the toy industry, are already feeling the financial impact. Unfortunately for the toy consumer, particularly the Lego fanatic, things are about to get more complicated. According to 404 Media, Lego will now stop shipping individual pieces. What used to be an easy way to replace random lost or missing bricks is now going to be a wo

Parents sue OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly encouraged teenage son's suicide, company announces safety changes

What just happened? The parents of a 16-year-old who killed himself after ChatGPT advised him on methods and helped draft his suicide note are suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman.

GM’s new adapters reflect the increasingly confused reality of EV charging

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Look, I sympathize.

Get ready, EV owners: Here come the dongles

Nearly a year ago, GM began selling an adapter to allow existing electric vehicles use the North American Charging Standard plugs at Tesla Supercharger stalls. EV owners rejoiced in their newfound freedom. Now, GM is announcing three more adapters. The additional adapters, which help GM customers access EV chargers with different charging rates and standards, is a win for flexibility, but at the cost of simplicity. It’s entirely possible that two-EV households could own four different adapters.

Apple Watch helps user discover life-changing brain tumor

The Apple Watch’s health features have once again played a part in flagging a potential health problem. A 57-year-old woman from Brighton, East Sussex says her Apple Watch alerted her to an issue that ultimately led doctors to uncover a brain tumor. Sam Adams told The Sun that her Apple Watch repeatedly flagged an unusually low heart rate after she returned from a trip to Costa Rica. At the time, she was recovering from personal losses including losing a parent, a pet, and her marriage. Adams b
