Residents of Grassy Park—a suburban neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa—sheltered in place on Sunday while a hippopotamus roamed the quiet streets. The massive beast was on the lam from the nearby Rondevlei Nature Reserve. 'My 74-year-old mom watched from inside the ...
No, not the US state, but I could imagine that too. Lawmakers in the Eastern European country of Georgia enjoyed an exciting session of Parliament when member Mamuka Mdinaradze of the ruling Georgian Dream party socked oppositional MP Aleko Elisashvili right in the kisser...
Michael Larabel reports via Phoronix: Within yesterday's Linux 6.9-rc4 release is an interesting little nugget by Linus Torvalds to battle Kconfig parsers that can't correctly handle tabs but rather just assume spaces for whitespace for this kernel configuration format. Due...
Over the weekend I was talking to an out-of-town relative who is in her 20s about music from Japan's Studio Ghibli films — specifically, about the anime studio's music composer, Joe Hisaishi, who will be playing some of his popular scores at the Hollywood Bowl in August. —...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Dropout's Dungeons & Dragons actual play show, Dimension 20, is getting pretty close to selling out a 19,000-seat venue just hours after ticket sales opened to the general public. To the uninitiated, it may seem absurd to...
PaintCam is an armed home/office security camera that uses AI to spot trespassers and fires paintballs or tear gas projectiles at them. The company's promotional video looks like a parody but apparently this 'vigilant guardian that doesn't sleep, blink, or miss a beat' is a...
All weekend, I’ve been mulling over a recent blog post by Fedora Project Leader Matthew Miller, which he wrote and published on behalf of the Fedora Council. Fedora (the KDE version) is my distribution of choice, I love using it, and I consider it the best distribution for de...
TL;DR: Performance and style meet with the 10.1-inch Android Tablet, which comes with a 5G chipset, 4GB of RAM, and more for only $119.99 (reg. $249)! Yes, yes, we love our phones and laptops. While both are great, sometimes you need just a little more screen real estate for...

Anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist RFK Jr claims he has rejected an offer to be Donald Trump's Vice-President. As Trump's last Vice-President almost became the victim of a violent, Trump-inspired mob, you'd think no one would be interested in the job. While people like...
The U.S. government is warning that smart locks securing entry to an estimated 50,000 dwellings nationwide contain hard-coded credentials that can be used to remotely open any of the locks. Krebs on SecurityL: The lock's maker Chirp Systems remains unresponsive, even though...
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the ROCK 5 ITX coming soon and since then, samples of the Rockchip RK3588-based Radxa ROCK 5 ITX have been landing on doorsteps (or service points, screw you, UPS) of a lucky group of people and somehow I was one of those, so here’s a...

'Obtaining genuine consent for training data collection is especially challenging' industry sages say The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) has issued its seventh annual AI Index Report, which reports a thriving industry facing growing...
It’s time for another audio-first social network with a long wait list and vague moderation policies. What could go wrong?
Top takeaways from Stanford's new AI Index Report [PDF]: 1. AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all. AI has surpassed human performance on several benchmarks, including some in image classification, visual reasoning, and English understanding. Yet it trails behind on...
In what could be straight out of a Freaky Friday style body-swap movie, a man gives off silly-doggo vibes when he plays a goofy joke on his golden retriever. Meanwhile, the pooch — named Marley — reacts with a hilarious 'Are you serious?' — Read the rest The post...
In Southern California's Riverside County, a driver was racing down a residential street when they lost control and the car launched into the air. It flew across a home's front lawn, over a pick-up truck in the driveway, and right into the garage. — Read the rest The post I...
