"We completely freaked out when we realized the orcas were hitting the boat." Pods of killer whales are once again attacking boats along the coast of Spain, striking fear into the hearts of local sailors. As Live Science reports, the orcas have been singling out sailboats and tearing off their rudders, again drawing attention to the large sea mammals' changing behavior, with experts suggesting that orcas are teaching each other how to take down sailing vessels.

Some people will tell you that no one wants to see pictures of your kids, but they’ve apparently never been on the Japanese marketplace app Mercari. According to SoraNews24, there was a surprisingly robust market for ultrasound photos on the e-commerce platform, which resulted in Mercari ultimately banning the sale of said images. Ultrasound images have landed on the list of “inappropriate items” that Mercari maintains, which are restricted from being sold on the platform. The ban will go into

Innovation at the End of the Valve Era The development of the Nuvistor in the late-1950s was probably the last major innovation in receiving valve technology, coming as it did towards the end of the era of thermionic device domination. Transistors at that time weren't the full answer to all problems in electronics, and so valves still had a lot to offer. The Nuvistor is often regarded as a last desperate effort by valve manufacturers to stem the flow of 'transistorisation' which was becoming a

Orcas Pretend to Drown Each Other in Rare Training Session Caught on Camera

Orcas are called “killer whales” (even though they’re technically dolphins) for good reason. They’re the ocean’s top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren’t born killers. It’s a skill they learn from their elders and, as new evidence suggests, practice on each other. Parenthood, a new five-part BBC wildlife series narrated by David Attenborough, includes the first known footage of orcas learning how to drown the

We already knew that Nintendo got off to a strong start with the Switch 2’s launch, and now that the console has been out for a bit, we’re getting a clearer picture on exactly how it performed. According to market research firm Circana, Nintendo’s new console “debuted as the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history,” selling 1.6 million units in June. That topped the previous launch month record held by the PS4, which moved 1.1 million units in November of 2023. Unsurprisingly,

Super Pocket Neo Geo Edition Review: Pocketable Fun

Once upon a time, if you wanted to play Neo Geo games, it took serious financial investment. The original Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console launched at $650 in 1991, equivalent to about $1,535 in 2025. Games would sell for around $200, around $472 today. The hook, for an emerging underground of gamers, was that the AES was identical at a hardware level to manufacturer SNK's MVS (Multi Video System) coin-op cabinets, meaning games played at home were indistinguishable from
