Assuming it can turn its Project Orion augmented reality glasses into a real product people can buy, Meta apparently wants to get into robots next. That's according to Sources' Alex Heath, who spoke to Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth and reports that much like Apple, Google and Tesla, Meta is researching robotics. Unlike those other companies, though, Meta apparently isn't all that focused on competing in hardware. It has a "Metabot" in the works, but its real goal is to create software that other com

Targetting specific characters with CSS rules

You can't. There is no way to use CSS to apply a style to every letter "E". It simply can't be done. At least, that's what they want you to think… What if I told you there was a secret and forbidden way to target specific characters in text and apply some styles to them? As part of my experiments in creating a "drunk" CSS theme, I thought it would be useful to change the presentation of specific characters.

Android will soon run Linux apps better, and that’s great for Google’s PC plans

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-28 18:30:39

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working to improve the performance of graphical Linux apps on Android, which currently run slowly using inefficient CPU-based rendering. This will be achieved by implementing gfxstream, a technology that forwards graphics API calls to the host’s GPU for near-native performance. Evidence for this was found in a hidden “Graphics Acceleration” setting in the Terminal app that enables a new “GPU-accelerated renderer.” Earlier this year, Google i

How Amgen Lost the PCSK9 Patent War

Patent law rests on a simple covenant: inventors reveal their secrets, and society grants them temporary monopolies in return. But some companies want the monopoly without the showing. They want the treasure. They don’t want to draw the map. In 2014, Amgen had developed evolocumab—a protein comprising 1,328 amino acids arranged with such precision that changing even one could eliminate its function entirely.
