Meteor Rumbles Over Houston, as Six-Pound Fragment Crashes Into a Texas Home

"It is the talk of the town today — the loud boom, the flash of light in the sky experienced by a lot of folks across the Houston area this afternoon," says a local Texas newscaster. "And then there was this — a home in northwest Harris county hit by something that crashed through their roof."

Travelling at very high speed, the six-pound meteorite crashed through their roof and through their attic, crashing again through the ceiling oF the floor below. It then bounced off the floor, hit the ceiling again.

Самая дешёвая RTX видеокарта от NVIDIA — 50 Вт, один слот и много разочарований

Nvidia RTX A400 — эту видеокарту сейчас можно купить по цене от 14 до 19 тысяч рублей. Приписка RTX говорит нам о том, что эта видеокарта поддерживает трассировку лучей, что выглядит как подарок при такой смешной цене. Потребление карты тоже радует: всего 50 ватт прямо от PCIE слота без дополнительных проводов. А самое интересное — это, конечно же, исполнение. Видеокарта занимает всего один слот и имеет Low Profile высоту. Но... Read more

How Iran out-shitposted the White House

In the early days of the war on Iran, while the White House was busy posting Call of Duty memes and AI slop of dancing bowling pins, the Iranian regime's state media was flooding the zone with video after video of what was happening on the ground: Explosions over Tehran.

Рынок производства электроники сейчас нестабилен: цены на компоненты нового поколения растут, а сами эти элементы в дефиците. В итоге платформы, списанные со счетов еще несколько лет назад, неожиданно получают новый шанс. Именно так обстоят дела с материнскими платами, использующими память DDR3: те самые решения, которые многие считали музейными экспонатами, вдруг вернулись в продажу у целого ряда производителей.

'Cognitive Surrender' Leads AI Users To Abandon Logical Thinking, Research Finds

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: When it comes to large language model-powered tools, there are generally two broad categories of users. On one side are those who treat AI as a powerful but sometimes faulty service that needs careful human oversight and review to detect reasoning or factual flaws in responses. On the other side are those who routinely outsource their critical thinking to what they... Read more

The Document Foundation Removes Dozens of Collabora Developers

Long-time GNOME/OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice contributor Michael Meeks is now general manager of Collabora Productivity. And earlier this month he complained when LibreOffice decided to bring back its LibreOffice Online project, as reported by Neowin, which had been inactive since 2022. After the original project went dormant — to which Collabora was a major contributor — they forked the code and created their own product, Collabora Online. But this week Meeks blogged about...

No, AMD Is Not Buying Intel

"The April 1st timing should have been your first clue," writes Gadget Review. TechSpot's false story was just an April Fool's prank — although Gadget Review thinks it's still funny how "something about this particular piece of satire felt uncomfortably plausible." Maybe it's because AMD stock sits around $196 while Intel hovers near $41, or perhaps it's the poetic justice of the underdog finally eating the giant. The semiconductor world... Read more

Are Employers Using Your Data To Figure Out the Lowest Salary You'll Accept?

MarketWatch looks at "surveillance wages," pay rates "based not on an employee's performance or seniority, but on formulas that use their personal data, often collected without employees' knowledge." According to Nina DiSalvo, policy director at labor advocacy group Towards Justice, some systems use signals associated with financial vulnerability — including data on whether a prospective employee has taken out a payday loan or has a high credit-card balance — to...

Before Webcomics: Selling Political Cartoons On BBSes In 1992

Slashdot reader Kirkman14 writes: A year before the Web opened to the public, Texas entrepreneur Don Lokke was trying to syndicate weekly political cartoons to bulletin board systems. His "telecomics," as he called them, represent an overlooked early experiment in online comics.

America's CIA Recruited Iran's Nuclear Scientists - By Threatening To Kill Them

A former U.S. spy spoke to The New Yorker about "years of clandestine work for the C.I.A. — which, he said, had 'prevented Iran from getting a nuke'." [Kevin] Chalker told me that, as he understood it, the Pentagon had suggested running commando operations to kill key Iranian scientists, as Israel subsequently did. But the C.I.A. proposed recruiting those scientists to defect, as U.S. spies had once courted Soviet physicists.... Read more

Microsoft Pulls Then Re-Issues Windows 11 Preview Update.  Also Begins Force-Updating Windows 11

Nine days ago Microsoft released a non-security "preview" update for Windows 11 — not mandatory for the average Windows user, notes ZDNet, "but rather as optional, more for IT admins and power users who want to test them." TechRepublic adds that the update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services."
