Oklahoma’s big “TV nudes” scandal was… a Jackie Chan movie on a Samsung streaming service

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 11:33:37

Since July, the state of Oklahoma has been consumed by important investigative questions, including: Why did naked women appear on a state-owned TV set during an official Board of Education meeting? Was someone in the room inadvertently streaming pornography from a personal device to the TV? Will anyone be prosecuted for what happened? Were the board members who complained about the video directed by the governor to "lie about me," as the state's pugnacious, hard-right Superintendent of Educat

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The latest Gboard beta includes references to features such as “flick keys to enter symbols,” which could mimic the iPad’s quick symbol access method. The “Password number row” feature could allow for dynamically displaying the number key, restricting it to only during password entry to preserve space on compact devices. Google could also be upgrading the upcoming Writing Tools feature to let users generate text within the keyboard app itself. Update

The best ergonomic keyboards for 2025

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-24 10:01:26

A simple experiment can tell you whether an ergonomic keyboard could be more comfortable for you: With your elbows hugged into your sides, bring your thumbs to touch in front of you. Now angle your elbows slightly outward and separate your hands. If the latter position feels better, you may appreciate the design of an ergonomic keyboard. These boards split, tilt and/or angle the keys in so your shoulders and chest feel more open and your forearms and wrists stay aligned. Some ergonomic keyboa

Report: Apple inches closer to releasing an OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro

At multiple points over many years, Apple executives have taken great pains to point out that they think touchscreen Macs are a silly idea. But it remains one of those persistent Mac rumors that crops up over and over again every couple of years, from sources that are reliable enough that they shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. Today’s contribution comes from supply chain analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, who usually has some insight into what Apple is testing and manufacturing. Kuo says that touchscreen

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

news.ycombinator.com Ivan Velichko 2025-09-24 15:37:52

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A

Wanted to spy on my dog, ended up spying on TP-Link I recently bought a cheap Tapo indoor camera to see what my dog gets up to when I am out of the house. What actually followed? I ended up reverse-engineering onboarding flows, decompiling an APK, MITMing TLS sessions, and writing cryptographic scripts.

Lava RGB

Although the power module includes a Saturn-style DIN connector, I don’t own a compatible cable, and prefer to use VGA cables. So for my install, I decided to add a SNES multiout port. Compared to the NESRGB, Lava RGB 2.0 is definitely a worthy contender. The palette switching OSD, and ability to easily update firmware, are improvements, and I wonder if future firmware updates might add more OSD-based options. However, one thing Lava RGB does not do is process and output audio like the NESRGB.

TED leader’s $300M ‘valley of death’ fund might be just what later-stage climate tech needs

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-15 11:42:26

Like many startups, climate tech companies often face a “valley of death” that lies between early stage funding and growth capital that helps proven technologies reach commercial scale. But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider. Financing a first-of-a-kind power plant or factory can cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, a new fund hopes to bridge this

It’s time for Apple to revive one of its discontinued iPad accessories

A few years ago, Apple used to have a much simpler iPad keyboard lineup. It just offered a Smart Keyboard for each of their iPad models, and they all essentially served as the same product. Nowadays, after the introduction of trackpad support in iPadOS and the Magic Keyboard, everything is unnecessarily convoluted – with each iPad model having a slightly different Magic Keyboard and varying features.
