Google is partnering with a UK nonprofit to fight non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). (You may know it better as revenge porn.) Over the coming months, the company will begin using StopNCII's hashes. These user-uploaded digital fingerprints can block individuals' unwanted intimate content from appearing in search results.

Tropical Storms Routinely Shredded Baby Pterosaurs, Fossil Evidence Suggests

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-08 01:15:24

The Solnhofen Limestone, a fossil hotspot in southern Germany, hosts a particularly rich array of baby pterosaur bones. That led paleontologists to believe that the animals flourished here—until an autopsy unveiled the broken, storm-tossed wings of two baby pterosaurs, painting a darker picture of how the bones got there. In a Current Biology paper published September 5, paleontologists at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom describe the tragic tale of Lucky and Lucky II, two baby

Sony RX1R III review: Waiting 10 years to be underwhelmed

The RX1R III is an incredible camera, capable of capturing stunning photos. However, for something Sony waited nearly a decade to update and is charging $5,100 for, it also feels like a missed opportunity. First, the RX1R III is nearly $2,000 more expensive than its predecessor. Plus, it’s missing a handful of features the company really should have included for it to hold its own against other high-end compact cameras, including Fujifilm’s X100VI and GFX100RF, as well as the Leica Q3 family.

With pocket camera popularity on the rise, Ricoh has announced the GR IV, an updated version of its excellent, diminutive (and quite old) GR III. It's a fixed-lens camera that can easily fit in a pocket, but inside is a big APS-C image sensor -- far larger than what you can get in a phone. Larger image sensors typically mean better image quality compared to smaller sensors. I really liked the GR III and picked it as the best point-and-shoot camera for travel.
