Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 review: The new ChromeOS sweet spot

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-14 00:00:14

In the last few years, I’ve felt like Chromebooks have hit a plateau. ChromeOS is a quirky but mature platform at this point, and Google has continued to add smart and useful features on a regular basis. But the hardware has felt pretty stagnant, with a few exceptions. Most Chromebooks at this point are utilitarian devices that get the job done but inspire little excitement, and I’ve found most Intel-based Chromebooks don’t get me through a day of work before the battery dies. But earlier this

Physics of badminton's new killer spin serve

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-25 23:11:00

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.

For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-25 03:06:25

When a Spinosaurus attacked a T. rex in Jurassic Park III, both giant carnivores tried to finish the fight with one powerful bite of their bone-crushing jaws. The Spinosaurus won, because when the movie was being made back in the early 2000s, fossil discoveries suggested it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But new research provides evidence that size and weight didn’t always create a powerful bite. “The Spinosaurus and the T. rex didn’t live at the same time at the same con

We Almost Lived in a Timeline Where ‘Morbius’ Was Made by ‘Midsommar’ Director Ari Aster

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-01-06 03:03:29

Marvel’s perpetually delayed Blade movie, which took on new life as the costuming for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, may never see the light of day. But it’s worth remembering we did already get a vampire movie centered on a Marvel character: a certain Dr. Michael Morbius. Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster has now confirmed that at one point, he was asked to direct the Spider-Man spin-off movie, and the mind reels at what might have been. In a recent interview on Semafor’s Mixed Signals podc

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-12 15:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

I was leaving a blissful session with my massage therapist when she pointed out something unexpected: I was developing an ever-so-slight neck “hump.” Of course, nobody wants to hear that—it sounds unsightly—but it also raised some alarm bells. Recently, an orthopedic spine surgeon told me that he’s seen increasing cases of arthritis in young, healthy individuals, likely due to posture issues caused by constant screen use.
