This new $15 Raspberry Pi is like mana for at-home programming projects

Raspberry Pi has released a new board called the Zero 2 W — and, excitingly, it costs just $15. It has more than five times more power than its predecessor, thanks to a new quad-core CPU.

An exhaustive investigation into Mark Zuckerberg’s saucy bookshelves

There are an infinite number of articles we could write about Facebook, sorry, Meta’s performance at its Connect event. The whole thing was a trainwreck. It’s a situation where I feel stuck between laughter (“man, Zuckerberg really has no self-awareness”) and abject horror (“he really wants to control the future of the internet”). But I cannot let my journalistic powers be weighed down by such concerns. I have a job,... Read more

NASA wants to control the conversation around the search for ET

A team of US government scientists working with NASA recently published a science article outlining a new “framework” for reporting scientific findings in the search for extraterrestrial life.
