Как инженер подключил дисковод от флоппи к Tesla, а электрокар его распознал

В эпоху, когда данные летают по облакам со скоростью света, а накопители вмещают терабайты, порой случаются истории, которые возвращают нас в 90-е. Старые устройства, давно списанные в утиль, неожиданно оживают в окружении самых современных гаджетов. Такие моменты напоминают, насколько глубоко в коде и железе современных машин прячется наследие прошлых десятилетий.Но оставим ностальгию в стороне, ближе к сути. Так вот, один гик решил проверить границы совместимости ПО Tesla и старого железа... Read more

У меня сайт по поиску работы. Там куча джоб-бордов подключена — hh, SuperJob, Зарплата, ТрудВсем и ещё пара штук. Всё круто, вакансии тянутся, ИИ помогает резюме составлять.

AGC или как перестать подстраивать громкость вручную

Многие наверняка сталкивались с проблемой: смотришь по ТВ спокойный фильм, который прерывается резкой и громкой рекламой; или, например, при общении по ВКС всех собеседников слышно нормально, но у кого-нибудь одного микрофон будет шуметь так, будто он в данный момент находится рядом с двигателем самолета, готовящегося взлетать. Конечно, всегда можно подрегулировать громкость динамиков, но всегда ли это удобно и возможно? Читать далее Read more

The cruelest myth about self-discipline is that you have to feel ready – you don’t, you never will, and the people who figured that out earlier simply have more years of evidence that the feeling eventually follows the action

Nobody wakes up on a cold morning, alarm screaming, and thinks: yes, this is exactly the moment I’ve been waiting for.

Ностальгические игры: Homeworld

Homeworld — из тех игр, что запоминаются не только механиками или сюжетом, а каким-то трудноуловимым настроением. Не только из-за космоса, кораблей и впечатляющих битв, а из-за редкого для того времени ощущения настоящего масштаба. Она не старалась брать игрока напором, бесконечным экшеном или пёстрой зрелищностью, вместо этого перед тобой раскрывалась холодная и почти пугающая пустота космоса, по которой медленно шёл флот изгнанников. И именно на этом фоне особенно сильно звучала главная... Read more

Mars may be hostile, but it might not be entirely unlivable. In lab experiments, yeast cells survived simulated Martian shock waves and toxic perchlorate salts—two major environmental threats on the Red Planet. Their secret weapon was forming protective molecular clusters that shield critical cellular functions under stress. Without these defenses, survival plummeted, pointing to a potential universal strategy life could use beyond Earth. Read more

A major international effort has produced an ultra-precise measurement of the Universe’s expansion rate, confirming it’s faster than early-Universe models predict. By linking multiple distance-measuring techniques, scientists ruled out simple errors as the cause of the discrepancy. The persistent “Hubble tension” now looks more real than ever. It could mean our current model of the cosmos is incomplete. Read more

Does Ubuntu Now Require More RAM Than Windows 11?

"Canonical is no longer pretending that 4GB is enough," writes the blog How-to-Geek, noting Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "raises the baseline memory to 6GB, alongside a 2GHz dual-core processor, and 25GB of storage..." Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) set the floor at 1GB — a modest ask when it launched more than a decade ago in 2014. Then came the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) that pushed the number to 4GB,...

Crooks Behind $27M in 'Refund' Scams Busted By YouTube Pranksters After Being Lured to Fake Funeral

"Victims were in their 70s and 80s," reports the U.S. Attorney's office for California's southern district.
