Experimental Hook-and-Loop Attachment System for Walls and Floors

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-05 17:24:07

This ReCon Project, developed at Austria's Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), proposes a hook-and-loop fastening system for wall surfaces. While a true hook-and-loop arrangement (like that used in Velcro) isn't possible with rigid surfaces, the research team came up with a close approximation. Protrusions were cast into concrete, and a flexible sheet material was 3D printed with corresponding protrusions on one face, allowing the sheet to be non-permanently adhered to the concrete. "Such

What I look for in typeface licenses

Typeface licenses Process Journal I can’t remember the last time I undertook a design project where we didn’t use a commercial typeface. I often recommend these to clients because: The world of commercial typefaces is broad and it opens up a range of high-quality options for a project Using a commercial typeface is an easy way to level-up a design (though it won’t fix a bad design) Supporting independent foundries is important There’s no judgement on open source typefaces – I’m often pairi

UI vs. API. vs. UAI

news.ycombinator.com Josh Beckman 2025-11-23 16:11:50

First we built a user interface (UI) when the application was just going to be operated by humans. There’s a whole branch of study around good and bad patterns in that design practice, focusing on how we make things easily operable by humans. Then we added an application programmable interface (API) when we wanted the application to be operated by other applications - integrated programs. Similarly, there are whole conferences and books about what good design looks like for these interfaces, ai

Facer is back on Wear OS 6, and worth the reinstall

This New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands With the Same Side Up

wired.com Elise Cutts 2025-11-24 17:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 360 BC, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can p

Dental Floss Could Deliver Next-Gen Vaccines, No Needles Required

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-07 03:52:29

Flu shot season is around the corner, and while injections remain the most common form of vaccination, scientists are working hard to find other ways to deliver inoculations that don’t involve shoving a needle into your flesh. And in a new study, researchers think they might have found another novel approach: dental floss. In the new work, a team of scientists based in the U.S. demonstrated how this might work on lab mice, finding that vaccine delivery via dental floss was more effective at sti

I sideloaded Galaxy Watch Ultra faces to my Galaxy Watch 7, and here’s why I’m keeping them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-19 14:30:03

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I won’t lie — I haven’t touched my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 in a while. I liked it when I reviewed it and thought it was worth buying (it’s since been replaced by the Galaxy Watch 8), but it had a few omissions that made me long for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, squircle design and all. One of those major misses was that Samsung saved a few of its best, most complicated watch faces for its top model, leaving me behind with others that were just fine. Now, though, the ta

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR After Facer, watch face distribution apps Pujie and WatchMaker are extending support for Wear OS 6. The updated versions comply with Google’s mandate to switch to the new Watch Face Format. While Pujie is separating development into two apps (for new and old watches), WatchMaker is likely to continue using just one. With Wear OS 5, Google introduced a new standard to make watch faces more power-efficient. And, to ensure watch face designers and develo

TL;DR Galaxy Watch Ultra’s exclusive watch faces (Simple Ultra and Ultra Analog) can now be unofficially installed on non-Ultra Galaxy Watch models via APK sideloading. Recent One UI Watch versions had blocked the installation of these watch faces, but that limitation appears to have been removed recently. It’s unclear if this change would be permanent.

Google warns Wear OS users to install their favorite legacy watch faces before 2026

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-15 15:25:41

After Google introduced Watch Face Format (WFF) in 2023, WFF and non-WFF watch faces coexisted. This only lasted for a short time, however, as Google eventually made WFF mandatory. Since then, the company has been gradually phasing out support for non-WFF watch faces on Wear OS . Google has now announced the next step it will take to get to full adoption of WFF. If you’re a Wear OS user who cares about custom watch faces, then you may know that support for AndroidX and Wearable Support Library

watchOS 26: More Apple Watch faces using Series 10’s upgraded display

Apple Watch Series 10 features an upgraded display with a faster refresh rate. This enables select watch faces to display a ticking seconds indicator even in always-on mode. However, most watch faces don’t actually take advantage of the new hardware yet. The watchOS 26 software update coming this fall will change that.

watchOS 26 update removes five faces from Apple Watch

Apple Watch has nearly 60 faces, and watchOS 26 optimizes way more than before for Apple Watch Series 10. It’s not all good news with watchOS 26, however, as Apple continues to discontinue watch faces through software updates. Last year, Apple cut four watch faces with the watchOS 11 software update. The enhanced widgets view unsurprisingly replaced the Siri watch face, but Apple also removed analog Chronograph, Explorer, and Numerals watch faces. Since then, Apple has introduced Flux, Reflect

NOTE: I’ve intentionally left some obvious mistakes, like the faces on page 20 of Issue #1, to keep the raw, experimental feel of the project. As explained in the "the making of" section, this comic book was created with the aid of an AI model. I review and adjust each image, sometimes editing by hand to fix things like missing characters, extra fingers, or elements that don’t belong. Then I add the dialogue boxes. I understand that newer model versions may produce better results; however, repl
