Scientists Detect Strange Signal in Gravitational Waves

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The international team of researchers measured the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, allowing them to get unprecedented insights into the turbulent dynamics of two black holes crashing into each other. The team analyzed data collected by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitatio

OpenAI's Teen Safety Features Will Walk a Thin Line

OpenAI announced new teen safety features for ChatGPT on Tuesday as part of an ongoing effort to respond to concerns about how minors engage with chatbots. The company is building an age-prediction system that identifies if a user is under 18 years old and routes them to an “age-appropriate” system that blocks graphic sexual content. If the system detects that the user is considering suicide or self-harm, it will contact the user’s parents. In cases of imminent danger, if a user's parents are un

I just want an 80×25 console, but that's no longer possible

news.ycombinator.com John Goerzen 2025-09-23 15:26:02

Somehow along the way, a feature that I’ve had across DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, and Linux — and has been present on PCs for more than 40 years — is gone. That feature, of course, is the 80×25 text console. Linux has, for awhile now, rendered its text console using graphic modes. You can read all about it here. This has been necessary because only PCs really had the 80×25 text mode (Raspberry Pis, for instance, never did), and even they don’t have it when booted with UEFI. I’ve lately been annoyed t

Sony is rolling out a PlayStation parental controls mobile app

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-03 12:50:03

Sony is finally catching up to something Nintendo and Microsoft have had for years. The new PlayStation Family app mainly serves as a mobile extension of on-console parental controls. However, parents also get a few extra perks in the mobile version. The app includes a "thoughtfully guided" onboarding process. (I imagine many people will prefer their phone or tablet over the console for that.) Once things are set up, parents can do everything they already could on the console. This includes set

How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world.

Philips Norelco i9000 Shaver Review (2025): A Close Shave

According to a phone app paired to the device, I had apparently been using my shaver wrong. I'd pressed too daintily, whispering along my skin too lightly for an optimal shave. My stats were, in fact, downright abysmal. I had applied optimal pressure just 30 percent of the time. By extension, I had probably
