Typographic Portrait of Jean Sibelius Composed Entirely of Brass Rule In the dimly lit “printing cellar” of Media Museum and Archives Merkki is a remarkable and curious object. It’s a mosaic of tightly arranged brass rule and spacing material, made by a Finnish typographer Valto Malmiola in 1937. Note, it’s not a single piece of metal, and it’s neither engraved nor etched… it’s thousands of individual metal bits, pieced together by hand, and locked tightly into a frame for printing. Figure 1.

I'm laughing my butt off. I asked ChatGPT to make me into an action figure so I could ride the wave of the viral AI trend. And, wow, did it deliver. It turned me into a rock star figurine in skin-tight leather, suitable for ages 4 and up. The amusing action figure trend has expanded across social media in recent days. It's also called the "Barbie box" trend. It's tough to pinpoint the origin but you're probably seeing your friends, family and colleagues sharing images of themselves reimagined a

I’ve found a way to configure private, custom domains for web-apps I have running on my computer. So instead of having to remember and type “localhost:4333”, I can simply navigate to “appname.localhost”. I love it! Here’s how the system works: Each app is set up as a launchd daemon listening on a unique port. Here’s an example plist. I configure /etc/hosts to redirect traffic to these domains to 127.0.0.1 instead. I then run and configure Caddy to redirect traffic from 127.0.0.1 to the rig

Spain's police arrested six individuals behind a large-scale cryptocurrency investment scam that used AI tools to generate deepfake ads featuring popular public figures to lure people. The scam was very successful, defrauding 19 million Euros ($20.9M) from 208 victims worldwide. The police operation, codenamed "COINBLACK – WENDMINE," started two years ago following the submission of a victim's complaint. The action led to the arrests of six individuals aged between 34 and 57 in the regions of

Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man was a sensation; his Spider-Man 2 was a near-masterpiece. So Spider-Man 3 should have been the best one yet—and while it indeed raked in a ton of cash, the movie itself proved a head-scratching experience for fans, and still is even 18 years later. Hasbro knows you have a love-hate relationship with one of the oddest superhero movies of all time, and has just announced the most perfectly emo action figure to encapsulate all your feelings.

I can’t think of another time we’ve covered a collectible twice. Here on io9, we cover all manner of merch—toys, art, clothing, etc.—but once we cover it, it’s done. However, when it comes to the exclusive figure Hasbro is bringing to Star Wars Celebration Japan in April, our initial coverage wasn’t enough to showcase just how awesome this figure is, and so here we are. To recap, Hasbro will have an exclusive Black Series set of the Ronin and R5-D56 from Star Wars: Visions on sale at the conven

As io9 has pointed out previously, Star Trek is not your typical sci-fi franchise when it comes to toys. There have been some very weird releases over the years, made even more notable by the fact that Trek figures just aren’t as prolific as, say, the constant stream of merch that pours out of the galaxy far, far away. That means these new Nacelle figures, spotlighting less-obvious characters as well as beloved crew members in specific contexts, have been on the minds of fans and collectors sin

When the random $50 Amazon charge popped up on my credit card, I felt instant regret. Whenever that kind of thing happens, you know it’s because you pre-ordered something months ago that you totally forgot about—and now, finally, it’s getting ready to ship. So I looked back and, sure enough, back in May 2024 I preordered an Emperor Palpatine Star Wars Black Series figure. Ugh. Why did I do that? Did I even still want it? It’s been almost a year. The buyer’s remorse was real, but when the figure

Figure is planning to bring its humanoids into the home sooner than expected. CEO Brett Adcock confirmed on Thursday that the Bay Area robotics startup will begin “alpha testing” its Figure 02 robot in the home setting, starting later in 2025. The executive says the accelerated timeline is a product of the company’s “generalist” Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, called Helix. Adcock’s comments arrive one week after Figure announced the machine learning platform. Helix is designed to process b
