Electron Apps Causing System-Wide Lag on Tahoe See: Fixed versions: 36.9.2 37.6.0 38.2.0 39.0.0 and all above 39 This script detects apps with not yet updated versions of Electron. Temporary workaround: Run launchctl setenv CHROME_HEADLESS 1 on every system start. The CHROME_HEADLESS flag has a side effect of disabling Electron app window shadows, which makes them ugly, but also stops triggering the issue. Example output (as of 1st oct 2025)

Electroflow promises to make LFP material for 40% less than Chinese producers

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-09 10:30:00

The battery world has fallen head over heals for lithium-iron-phosphate cells, a cheap, durable chemistry that can lower the price of a vehicle by thousands of dollars. Tariffs and anti-China regulations have complicated the picture for American automakers. “We think LFP is the missing ingredient for energy prosperity. The problem is it’s literally 99% made in China,” Eric McShane, co-founder and CEO of Electroflow, told TechCrunch. “If we want to have a chance of competing, we’ve got to flip t

Electromechanical Calculating Machines from the 1960's

The 1960's was a decade of transition. At the dawn of the decade, electronic desktop calculators were not yet available. By the end of the decade, there were almost no mechanical calculators left in production. During the intervening years, some of the most complex and capable machines of the mechanical era were introduced in a last ditch effort to stave off the electronic competition.

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-11-29 21:40:43

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge. New findings show a direct correlation between a spacecraft’s electric discharge and peaks in the flux of electrons in space, identifying hu

So far, most targeted efforts to recycle EV batteries have been expensive and chemically toxic—and they haven’t stuck. That could change soon, however, thanks to a promising breakthrough from MIT.

Scientists are building cyborg jellyfish to explore ocean depths

Climate change is warming ocean waters, making the environment more acidic thanks to the absorption of carbon monoxide from the atmosphere. This endangers various marine species, and monitoring those changes is vitally important. But it can be challenging to reach the deepest waters without the aid of very expensive equipment. Moon jellyfish can swim to those depths, however, making them a potential ally in the quest to study the deep ocean. That's why researchers at the University of Colorado

What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant, and they’re “fundamental” in the sense that we can't derive them theoretically, we can only measure them. We use these in solving physics problems all the time, so it’s easy to take them for granted. But why are there such numbers in nature, and why do they just happen to

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay.
