The iPhone 17 brings many long-awaited features, like an always-on display. Abrar Al-Heeti/ Zooey Liao/CNET It's easy to overlook the iPhone 17, especially in a year when the ultraslim iPhone Air has stolen the spotlight -- and the bright orange iPhone 17 Pro is hulking next to it. But subtle upgrades to Apple's baseline model add up to notable improvement

Pope Slams Elon Musk for Obscene Greed

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-22 11:16:50

In the months following the 2025 conclave that elected him, Pope Leo XIV warned that the astronomical and still widening gap between the rich and the poor means that "we're in big trouble." In remarks to Catholic newspaper Crux in July, which were published over the weekend, the Pope reflected on the "continuously wider gap between the income levels of the working class and the money that the wealthiest receive."

Formally verifying a floating-point division routine with Gappa – part 1

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-27 20:35:41

We have recently released a set of optimized assembly-language routines for basic floating-point arithmetic, in Arm Optimized Routines, under an open-source license. These functions perform the same operations as hardware floating point instructions, for example addition, multiplication, and division. However, they are implemented using only integer 32-bit Arm instructions, for Arm CPUs without hardware floating point. Existing open-source libraries such as libgcc and compiler-rt offer similar

Tesla revamps the Megapack in attempt to reverse its declining storage business

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-03 20:10:55

Tesla is updating its utility-scale Megapack batteries as it seeks to stem the decline of its lucrative energy storage business. The new battery product known as Megapack 3, which Tesla revealed late Monday, are a bid to lure utilities and data center developers that are desperate for power. Megapack 3 stores around 1 megawatt-hour more electricity than Tesla’s largest existing offering and promises a longer lifespan.

Google's new Pixel 10 phones are here, and they boast a handful of spec upgrades over their predecessors, as well as more AI features. The three models look very similar to last year's Pixel 9 phones. There's a standard Pixel 10, a higher-spec Pixel 10 Pro and a large Pixel 10 Pro XL. There are still some differentiators between the baseline and Pro models, but that lead is shrinking with more top-level features trickling down.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE ‘Fan Edition’ Is a Cut-Down S25+ For $350 Less

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-11 11:30:42

You already know what to expect when you see the letter FE following a Samsung product name. Short for “Fan Edition,” FE devices are a Frankenstein of components packaged together and sold for less. In the case of the Galaxy S25 FE announced at IFA 2025, the $650 Android phone has the same size 6.7-inch display as the $1,000 Galaxy S25+, while costing less than the $800 Galaxy S25. Yeah, it doesn’t quite fit perfectly on a side-by-side chart comparing Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series phones, does it?

Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-22 04:30:22

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

VHS, VCDs, and Laserdiscs in Southeast Asia

One of those factoids you often hear about Southeast Asia is that VCDs and Laserdiscs were more popular than VHS tapes. The cited reason is usually mould, on account of their tropical climates. But there was more to it. For starters, what are VCDs and Laserdiscs? One of them is an initialism, and the other one is a word that sometimes employs camelCase.

Air-gapped systems, commonly deployed in mission-critical environments such as government facilities, weapons platforms, and nuclear power plants, are physically isolated from external networks to prevent malware infections and data theft.

To borrow a phrase from the automotive world, however, "there's no replacement for displacement" – meaning capacity is still king.
