"A few developers found a way, for now, to turn a few of these increasingly mediocre Amazon Show devices into friendly, useful, open computers," writes the co-founder of the gaming/tech news site Aftermath. For under $50 each, he bought some used versions of the devices and tested their instructions, partly to escape the full-screen ads Amazon began showing late last year, and also to overwrite Amazon's locked down Android fork "Fire OS" (and "a similarly neutered version of Linux called Vega OS")

I always enjoy waking up to a social media post that begins "This is Miyamoto", and this morning was no exception. Earlier today, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto took over the company's X account to announce a new release date for the live-action Legend of Zelda film. Once scheduled for release on 7th May 2027, the Legend of Zelda film will now arrive on 30th April next year. "The team is working... Read more ›

28 февраля 2026 года через Ормузский пролив перестало проходить 20% мировой нефти. В один день. Цена нефти марки Brent улетела с $70 до $120. IEA назвало это крупнейшим нефтяным шоком в истории — больше, чем эмбарго 1973-го. Пока Трамп во всю забивает твитер постами о том, что все под контролем, нефть скоро подешевеет, война закончится и цены рухнут, да и вообще он так и все и задумывал, резервные хранилища Азиатских...

Порой на маркетплейсах можно найти довольно интересные и диковинные устройства от небольших производств в Китае. Ранее в блоге я часто рассказывал о такой диковинке, как игровые телефоны с аппаратными клонами Famicom, DIY-консоли формата "собери и напиши себе игры сам", а также о мелкосерийных игровых устройствах, выпущенных эксклюзивно для локального рынка Китая. Но недавно я увидел просто невероятную диковинку: консоль в стиле PlayStation 5 всего за 7.000 рублей... и моя гиковская... Read more ›

Продолжаем разговор о промышленном дизайне, который начали в предыдущей публикации, поговорив про эстетику и как дизайнерам удается создавать вещи, которые нам нравятся. Разговор в этот раз будет более предметным и пойдет о гражданских беспилотниках, дизайн которых — это не столько про их внешность, сколь про поиск формы, пригодной для производства и не вступающей в противоречия с фундаментальными ограничениями. Ее стандарты для беспилотных автономных систем (БАС) еще не «забронзовели», и у... Read more ›

Mirnotoriety shares a report from The Telegraph: Richard Dawkins has said chatbots should be considered conscious (source paywalled; alternative source) after spending two days interacting with the Claude AI engine. The evolutionary biologist said he had the "overwhelming feeling" of talking to a human during conversations with Claude, and said it was hard not to treat the program as "a genuine friend." In an essay for Unherd, Prof Dawkins released... Read more ›

Motherboard sales are sharply declining as AI demand drives shortages and price hikes for memory, storage, CPUs, and other PC components. "Because of this, users who don't have deep pockets are putting off upgrading their PCs and holding on to their current devices longer," reports Tom's Hardware. From the report: Asus, which sold 15 million motherboards in 2025, has only shipped a little more than 5 million in the first... Read more ›

A LinkedIn user in the EU is challenging Microsoft's refusal to provide a full list of profile visitors under GDPR Article 15, arguing that the data should be available for free because LinkedIn processes it and sells a more complete version to Premium users. Privacy group Noyb says the case could set a broader precedent over whether companies can monetize user-related data while denying access to the same data through... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Wearables have really come full circle. The early Fitbits didn't have screens, but the move to smartwatches put a screen on everyone's wrist. Now, devices like Whoop and Hume are designed as data trackers first and foremost without so much as a clock. Google's newest wearable jumps on that trend: The Fitbit Air doesn't have a screen, but it does have... Read more ›

Many firms say tariffs hurt earnings, but CFO survey results suggest companies applying for refunds are unlikely to pass savings back to consumers through lower prices. CNBC reports: Companies across Europe are flagging disruption from tariffs as a... Read more ›

In honor of World Password Day, Kaspersky researchers revisited their study on the crackability of real-world passwords and found that 60% of MD5-hashed passwords could be cracked in under an hour with a single Nvidia RTX 5090, and 48% could be cracked in under a minute. "The bottom line is that passwords protected only by fast hashing algorithms such as MD5 are no longer safe if attackers obtain them in... Read more ›

The IMF is warning that advanced AI-powered cyberattacks pose a serious threat to global financial stability. "IMF analysis suggests that extreme cyber-incident losses could trigger funding strains, raise solvency concerns, and disrupt broader markets," the lender warned in a new report. The report urged greater international cooperation and emphasized resilience, since breaches are "inevitable" -- particularly for emerging economies with weaker defenses. Agence France-Presse reports: The study's authors hi Read more ›
