The delicious, nutritious potato evolved from an ancestor of the tomato, one presumably just as slimy and pointless as the contemporary model. 'This wasn't obvious,' say the researchers who learned this. The divergence occured nearly 9 millions years ago, according to a...
Getting hardware to run AmigaOS 4.1 or MorphOS on isn’t always easy, cheap, or even possible in the first place. Luckily, there’s now an incredibly easy and straightforward way to emulate these two operating systems: Kyvos, developed by George Sokianos. Kyvos is a user-frien...
SilverBullet is a MIT-licensed note-taking application, designed to run as a self-hosted web server. Started in 2022, the project is approaching its 2.0 release, making this a good time to explore the features it offers. SilverBullet stores notes as plain Markdown files,...
Matthew Garrett has posted a detailed followup to our recent article on the coming expiration of Microsoft's Secure Boot signing key. The upshot is that nobody actually enforces these expiry dates - here's the reference code that disables it. In a year's time we'll have...

Cosmetic surgeons are seeing a new wave of patients seeking treatment for 'Ozempic face' — the sagging, hollow appearance that can result from rapid weight loss while using popular diabetes and weight-loss medications. Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, who...
London Underground stewards turned off power to the tracks after a man was seen walking along the Northern Line on May 19 last year and behaving oddly. After a fruitless police search in the dark and no sign of the man, they eventually turned the power back on and dispatched ...
For the second time this year, a U.S. military pilot was forced to eject from a $100-million F-35 fighter jet before it crashed and caught fire. The U.S. Navy pilot safely landed in rural Fresno County, California around 6:30 p.m. last night not far from his plane, which...
In case you missed it, Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for a good bit. It's an absolutely excellent 3D platformer by every metric, feeling a lot like Nintendo's answer to the equally excellent Astro Bot and serving as the killer app the Switch 2 has been missing, even if...
Welp, you know it's bad when you've even lost the QAnon Shaman. The buffalo-headdress-wearing conspiracy-theory-spewing January 6 darling Jacob Chansley, better known as 'QAnon Shaman,' was pardoned by Trump six months ago for taking part in the US Capitol riots. You'd think ...
Another week, another The Last of Us release. It truly boggles the mind just how many times Sony has returned to squeeze these two games for all they're worth, and they're evidently not quite finished yet. Open your wallets once again, because another rerelease of The Last...

Atari and Namco pitch the classic console in bright yellow, with a matching wireless controller and illuminated ghosts on the front panel. It comes with an 'all-new' Pac-Man game similar to the arcade original (quite necessary given how dreadful the original VCS/2600...
Even the most advanced AI models can easily be confounded by cats. Reasoning language models are large language models that are trained to break problems down into smaller chunks. They solve problems in steps and revisit and revise previous steps. This iterative process...
These are the droids you are looking for. Since 2003, Disney has been experimenting with animatronic robots that are not bolted down to a stage in a dark ride, but rather roam around the park interacting with guests. Recent entries to the field are small droids that roam...
The Great Nintendo Price Hike (I leave it to future historians to come up with a better name for this significant and extremely bizarre gaming industry moment) evidently hasn't been working out for everyone. Precious few actual $80 games have been announced or released thus...
Tractive sold internet-connected GPS pet trackers. Then it sold out to the pet food subsiary of candy giant Mars, and one of its product lines was remotely disabled. Scharon Harding reports on a corporate acquisition that disappeared a useful and well-liked gadget entirely....
As of this writing, just over 4,000 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline repository during the 6.17 merge window. When he announced the merge-window opening, Linus Torvalds let it be known that, due to a busy personal schedule, he was likely to pull...
