My 9 Favorite Pickleball Paddles From 3 Years of Testing (2025)

wired.com Martin Cizmar 2025-07-20 15:06:00

I was not sure what to expect from Diadem's new BluCore paddle, which is among a handful of new paddles that have replaced the standard honeycomb polymer core with closed-cell foam—they sent me a sample of the stuff, and it looks like you could make a gas station cooler out of it. That foam is substantially more durable—it has a lifetime warranty, in fact—over the long haul and is also not at risk of delaminating in extreme temperatures if, for example, you leave the paddle in the car on a scorc

This Is the Commodore Comeback Fans Have Waited for—but the Odds Are Still Against It

wired.com Craig Grannell 2025-07-20 15:00:00

In 1994, Commodore crashed and burned. Once a home computing giant across the US and Europe, the company was undone by mismanagement and misfires. The carcass was picked clean and the pieces resold so many times that it was hard to keep track, but with each new owner came the inevitable—an attempt to make a fast buck by slapping the famous C= logo on any old junk. Fans watched in horror as the brand appeared on the mediocre Web.it all-in-one PC, the bizarrely named Gravel in Pocket media player

When to make LODs: Understanding model costs

news.ycombinator.com Jason Booth 2025-07-17 23:56:35

When to make LODs Jason Booth 3 min read · Dec 26, 2021 -- Listen Share Understanding model costs I’m always amazed at how often I hear people talk about “poly counts” in modern rendering, as if that’s even a thing. But lore has a way of sticking around forever, far past its point of being useful. And quite frankly, I’m constantly seeing artwork created in substandard ways because of this lore. First, the cost of rendering something doesn’t really have much relation to how many polygons it ha

A Russian lawmaker who regulates the IT industry said WhatsApp should prepare to stop offering its services in the country.

The biggest original film to arrive on Netflix this July is undoubtedly Happy Gilmore 2.

Soundcore Boom 3i Review: A Seaworthy Bluetooth Speaker That Dunks on the Competition

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-22 19:00:05

2025 I love when gadgets have a schtick. Like Lenovo’s Tab Plus with an ungodly amount of JBL speakers, or Nothing’s Android phones with lights on the back. Schticks are great, and schticks that are practical and actually work are even better. For Soundcore’s $130 Boom 3i Bluetooth speaker, the schtick is all about throwing a speaker into water, which is unnatural for anyone familiar with how batteries work, but for the right person, might be kind of awesome.

Hackers Are Finding New Ways to Hide Malware in DNS Records

wired.com Dan Goodin 2025-07-25 04:30:00

Hackers are stashing malware in a place that’s largely out of the reach of most defenses—inside domain name system (DNS) records that map domain names to their corresponding numerical IP addresses. The practice allows malicious scripts and early-stage malware to fetch binary files without having to download them from suspicious sites or attach them to emails, where they frequently get quarantined by antivirus software. That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man

This Windows 11 tablet for field research is about as durable as a tablet can be

The choice of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors offers flexibility when buying the system. The tablet is big and rather chunky, far larger than a traditional iPad.

Intel's retreat is unlike anything it's done before in Oregon

Intel's campus in Aloha was the company's first Oregon site -- and its first manufacturing facility outside California -- when it opened in the 1970s. Mike Rogoway/The Oregonian Over the five decades Intel has operated in Oregon, its local footprint had moved in just one direction: Upward. From a single factory in Aloha that opened in 1976, the chipmaker grew into the state’s largest corporate employer and one of Oregon’s primary economic engines.

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is coming to the Mac this week, a few months after the port was announced as part of Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro introduction last fall. The good news for Mac gamers is that Cyberpunk will run on just about anything with Apple Silicon in it, going all the way back to the original M1 (though owners of the last few fading Intel Macs won’t be able to play it at all).

Razer is back with a new addition to its Core line of external graphics enclosures.

It uses a single Thunderbolt 5 cable to the host device; in its press materials, Razer claims this tech delivers up to twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 4.

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google started working to implement minimalistic app listings for system services in the Play Store. These listings do not include a review section nor allow users to rate the apps. Users are now starting to see this new format for system services roll out widely.

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.
