Image: SyFyIf you excitedly went to Peacock on Thursday to watch the latest episode of Chucky, only to find it was not yet available to stream—and then screamed with the wrong kind of horror—you are not alone among the killer doll’s legions of fans.Up until this week, episodes of Chucky were being released for streaming on Peacock the day after their initial airings on Syfy and USA. And the first episode of Don Mancini’s highly anticipated second half of season three, which paused shooting during the strikes last year, did indeed show up the day after its April 10 premiere, as cable cutter fans were used to. But starting with this week’s installment, and continuing with the remaining two episodes,...

Netflix plans to eventually phase out reporting subscriber data — and the move has investors a bit puzzled. Netflix stock closed down 9.1% on Friday, after the company reported its first quarter earnings on Thursday. The dip followed Netflix’s forecast that subscribers will be lower during the second quarter, which…Read more...

Image: Nintendo If you’re the kind of Mario Kart 8 player who cares about winning and not just playing their favorite characters (Daisy and Peach supremacy), choosing the best combination of driver, vehicle, and wheels gets tricky. Luckily, thanks to data science and 19th-century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, there’s a way to figure that out. Data scientist Antoine Mayerowitz applies one of Pareto’s principles, the Pareto front, to plot the best combination among the 703,560 possible decisions players must make in Mario Kart. Eurogamer helpfully explains that a Pareto front finds the best possible solution to a problem with different objectives. In a cool piece of data visualization you should...

Optimus Prime and Megatron in Transformers One.Image: ParamountTransformers is known for being “more than meets the eye.” But when it comes to the characters from Transformers One, it’s more than meets the eyes, nose, and mouth. The first trailer for the upcoming animated origin story landed this week and it revealed new looks for the iconic characters, as well as a decidedly goofy tone. Since the film is about two best friends becoming mortal enemies, we’re guessing that tone shifts a bit at some point. And the same is probably true for the looks of the characters—which, after seeing the trailer and some new character posters, feel much more human than we’re used to.In other iterations, the...

Kia’s lineup of electric vehicles are growing. | Image: Kia The Kia EV2, the automaker’s small, affordable electric crossover, has been spotted on the street in camouflage. It’s the first time the model has been seen in the wild, although the EV2 is not currently confirmed for the US.
The timing of the sighting is particularly significant given recent news that Tesla may have canned its plans for a $25,000 mass-market “Model 2” vehicle. Elon Musk reportedly mothballed the affordable EV in favor of going all in on the company’s plans for a fully autonomous robotaxi. No official price has been set for the Kia EV2, but Electrek says it could be 20 million won, or about $15,000. Other reports have it...

Image: Target Target is scaling back the presence of physical media in its stores. A spokesperson for Target tells IGN that the company is “transitioning the limited assortment of DVDs” it sells in stores to its website.
“Moving forward, we’ll offer select DVDs in stores when they are newly released or during key times throughout the year when they are more popular, like for gift giving during the holidays,” Target says. That will make Target’s physical DVD section even smaller and only available during specific times. You’ll still be able to buy “thousands” of DVDs on Target’s website, but I have to wonder how broad its selection will be. Reports about Target backing away from DVDs first...

Screenshot: ParamountStar Trek likes to imagine itself as a franchise that is largely above conflict, but it is defined by it: and how its most idealized heroes in Starfleet and the Federation react to, and become shaped by it. While Trek’s history is littered with devastating battles, few conflicts hold a mirror to Star Trek quite like the bloodiest of them all—Deep Space Nine’s Dominion War.As one of the most legendary moments in the conflict celebrated its anniversary earlier this week—marking the airing of “In the Pale Moonlight”, where Captain Sisko sells his soul to bring the Romulan Star Empire into the war on the Federation’s side—we’re taking a look back at the longest game a Star...

Under U.S. copyright law, Internet providers must terminate the accounts of repeat infringers “in appropriate circumstances.”
Many ISPs have been reluctant to take such drastic measures, which triggered a wave of copyright infringement lawsuits in recent years with WideOpenWest (WOW!) as one of the targets. The Colorado-based Internet provider was sued by a group of movie companies including Millennium Media and Voltage Pictures. The filmmakers accuse the ISP of failing to disconnect the accounts of subscribers who were repeatedly flagged for sharing copyrighted material via BitTorrent. The movie companies hold WOW! liable for these pirating activities, which could lead to millions of dollars in damages....

While Netanyahu and the Islamic Republic exchange ballistic “messages,” the question of Palestine demands the moral and strategic courage of actual statesmen.

Image: Supergiant Games Imagine the most perfect barbecue — a prolific spread of smoked meats, all the right sides, every pie, type of cookie or cake, and even your grandmother’s famous dinner rolls. But there’s a catch: most of the food is kept behind glass to be unlocked at a later date, and you are starving. That’s what it’s like playing the Hades 2 technical test.
Spoilers for the Hades 2 technical test.
Hades 2, like its predecessor, is a roguelike. You play as Melinoë, the long-lost daughter of Hades and sister of Zagreus, the first game’s protagonist. Unlike her brother, Melinoë isn’t trying to break out of hell. Instead, she’s trying to break into it as Chronos, Titan of Time, has...

The Etch-a-Sketch was a popular toy, but a polarizing one. You were either one of those kids that had the knack, or one of the kids that didn’t. [Micah] was pretty firmly in the latter group, so decided to roboticize the Etch-a-Sketch so a computer could draw for him instead.
The build uses a pair of stepper motors attached to the Etch-a-Sketch’s knobs via 3D-printed adapters. It took [Micah] a few revisions to get the right design and the right motors for the job, but it all came together. A Raspberry Pi is charged with driving the motors to draw the desired picture.
Beyond the mechanics, [Micah] also does a great job of explaining the challenges around drawing and the drive software. Namely, the...

Ouais, je sais, c’est pas vraiment le support sur lequel on s’attendait à retrouver notre hérisson bleu préféré, mais bon, pourquoi pas après tout ? C’est possible grâce au génialissime Grubby Coder qui s’est dit que la Ti-84+ CE, ce serait cool puisque cette vaillante machine embarque un processeur Zilog eZ80 cadencée à 48 Mhz. Hé, ça vous rappelle pas un truc ça ? Et ouais, c’est une vieille connaissance, le fameux Zilog Z80 puisqu’il équipait la Master System ! Enfin presque, le Z80 était en 16 bits, pas 8. Y’a pas de hasard… Mais attention, hein, c’était pas gagné pour autant...

Writer and photographer Austin Bush came to Thailand as a University of Oregon linguistics student. He stuck around and ended up living there for more than two decades . In 2018, he released The Food of Northern Thailand , a cookbook that aimed to broaden diners' horizons. But what about the rest of the country? In The Food of Southern Thailand , Bush once again expands his geographic and culinary horizons. If you were to start in Northern Thailand and travel south, the country narrows and becomes mountainous with coastline on either side. People speak a different dialect and the food changes. "It's a very distinct, palpable change," Bush says. "In Northern Thailand, they eat sticky rice and there's a lot of...

They say you can find anything on the internet. But when Karla Tatiana Vasquez went looking for Salvadoran recipes, she couldn't find many that satisfied her, nor a cookbook in English. So the writer, recipe developer, and food justice advocate decided to seek out and document them. She founded SalviSoul , initially as a way to preserve her family’s recipes . Since then, it has grown into so much more , expanding to document cultural memory and intergenerational connections among the Salvadoran diaspora. As part of that, she has just released The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes and the Women Who Preserve Them .

Los Angeles Times restaurant critic Bill Addison hails from the South so when he heard about Joyce , a globally-minded Southern restaurant, he was excited. It did not disappoint. Chef Sammy Monsour grew up in North Carolina where his parents ran a Lebanese restaurant. Here in LA, he was the chef at Preux and Proper, which closed during the pandemic . "Lunch in Los Angeles restaurants is more rare than it used to be," Addison says. "Either you specialize in lunch or you specialize in dinner." But Joyce does a good job with both meals. Long-simmered greens are another specialty at Joyce. Photo by Ziv Sade. At lunch, expect casual bites like a messy, spicy chicken sandwich with a pimento spread. For brunch,...

Standing at the Downtown Santa Monica Farmers Market , you can practically see Michael's , one of the restaurants in the vanguard of the farm-to-table ethos. When chef/owner Michael McCarty debuted it in 1979, he was only 25 years old and the farmers market hadn't yet launched. This week, the restaurant celebrates 45 years in business. "In those days, each major city had six or eight major restaurants," McCarty says. "I came here because my parents had moved to California. I got here in December of '75 and the weather was stunning. After [spending] the first half of the '70s in Paris, I said, 'This is it. This is what I'm going to do.'" Portrait of the artist as a young chef. Michael McCarty cut his teeth...

This year, KCRW's PieFest & Contest has not one but two apple pie categories — Apple Crumble and Apple Double Crust (which includes lattice). Nicole Rucker was the first baker to achieve multiple wins in our Pie Contest. She went on to win a first place ribbon at the American Pie Council's National Pie Championships . She now has two Fat + Flour pie shops — one in Grand Central Market and another in Culver City — and wrote Dappled , a cookbook devoted to fruit. Is there anyone more qualified to discuss apple pies? "Crumble is a lot of people's favorite, in terms of fruit pie topping," Rucker says. She makes two different types, a cream cheese-based crumble and an oat and brown sugar crumble. For the...

The Radio Silence film introduces a friends-to-enemies relationship you root for between Barrera—one of this generation’s best final girls, having left an indelible mark on the Scream franchise—Weir, a soon-to-be monster favorite (and, we’re hoping, Halloween-costume inspiration).io9 recently sat down with the stars of Abigail to talk about the most interesting relationship of the film and how it goes through a bloody battle to see who comes out on top. Sabina Graves, io9: Melissa, did you come on board during the development of the film?...

More than a year after a train derailment and chemical fire in Ohio that made international news, residents contend with lingering sickness, uncertainty, and, for some, a desire to just move on.

If you read the December 1970 issue of Mechanix Illustrated, you’d be treated to [Len Buckwalter]’s crystal radio build. He called out Modern Radio Labs as the supplier for parts. That company, run by [Elmer Osterhoudt], got so many inquiries that he produced a kit, the #74 crystal set. [Michael Simpson] found an unopened kit on eBay and — after a bidding war, took possession of the kit. The kit looked totally untouched. The crystal detector was still in the box, and there were period-appropriate newspaper wrappings.
The kit itself isn’t that remarkable, but it is a classic. An oatmeal box serves as a coil form. There’s a capacitor, a crystal detector, and headphones. The original cost of the parts...

Ça y est les amis, on a atteint le summum du bidouillage et de la miniaturisation avec le Short Stack, un mod complètement dingue de la Nintendo Wii qui arrive à faire tenir toute la puissance de la console dans un boîtier de la taille d’un paquet de cartes ! C’est juste ahurissant quand on y pense. Alors bien sûr, la Wii c’est pas la console la plus grosse à la base, mais quand même, passer de 157 x 60 x 197mm à un truc aussi compact, faut reconnaître que c’est quand même sacrément impressionnant. Et le plus fou dans tout ça, c’est que le moddeur n’a pas triché en passant par de l’émulation. Non non, le Short Stack embarque une vraie carte mère de Wii, juste super bien taillée et...

“Scientists have created a ‘digital twin’ of our planet that can be used to predict weather far faster than traditional services.

The intensive data-crunching system could also give us a more detailed view of the future effects of climate change and reveal clues about how to mitigate it.” From Live Science.

“In the 1970s, oil spills from tankers — container ships transporting oil — were common. Between 70 and 100 spills occurred per year. That’s one or two spills every week. This number has fallen by more than 90% since then. In the last decade, no year has had more than eight oil spills, as shown in the chart. The quantity of oil spilled from tankers has also fallen dramatically. Over the last decade, the average is less than 10,000 tonnes per year, compared to over 300,000 tonnes in the 1970s.” From Our World in Data.

“Net U.S. emissions increased by 1.3 percent in 2022 for a total of 5,489 million metric tons of carbon dioxide compared to the previous year, according to the EPA. The agency attributed the bulk of the increase to higher levels of fossil fuel combustion as the economic rebound and lifting of pandemic-related restrictions that began in 2021 continued. Despite the year-over-year increase, however, the EPA determined that net emissions fell 16.7 percent compared to 2005 levels between 1990 and 2022. This decrease was partly due to a decline in emissions from industry over the last decade, according to the EPA. The agency attributed this drop to several factors, including macroeconomic trends like the shift...

If you had a dime in 1900, you could buy a 1-ounce Hershey chocolate bar and a 6.5-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola. It sounds like those were happy days indeed. That is until you look at wages, which were around 14 cents an hour for blue-collar workers. At Walmart today, a 1.55-ounce Hershey bar costs $1.17 and a 1.25-liter bottle (42.27 ounces) of Coke is $1.52. Blue-collar workers earn closer to $36.15 an hour in compensation. We buy things with money but pay for them with our time. Money prices are expressed in dollars and cents, while time prices are expressed in hours and minutes. A time price is simply the money price divided by hourly income. In 1900, it took more than 21.4 minutes to earn an ounce of...

What were some of the best posts on Hackaday last week? Elliot Williams and Al Williams decided there were too many to choose from, but they did take a sampling of the ones that caught their attention. This week’s picks were an eclectic mix of everything from metal casting and plasma cutters to radio astronomy and space telescope budgets. In between? Some basic circuit design, 3D printing, games, dogs, and software tools. Sound confusing? It won’t be, after you listen to this week’s podcast.

It's not uncommon to have to remove a laptop's keyboard in order to perform other work on it. The Thinkpad x280 is actually a little different in that respect, because it only generally needs removing for replacement or because the motherboard needs removing for some reason.
Despite the relative rarity, Lenovo seem to have but some care into making the process much easier than it was with some older thinkpads.
This post details the process of removing the keyboard and fitting it back in.

La victoire importante, quoique relative, du parti conservateur HDZ et les complexes tractations postélectorales pour former un gouvernement sont les deux enseignements principaux des législatives croates du 17 avril. Pour compliquer le tout, deux jours plus tard, la Cour constitutionnelle a interdit au président de la République, Zoran Milanovic, de constituer une nouvelle majorité.

The Nintendo Wii was never a large console. Indeed, it was smaller than both the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and most consoles of previous generations, too. That’s not to say it couldn’t be smaller, though. [loopj] has built what is perhaps the smallest Wii yet, which measures roughly the same size as a deck of cards. The best bit? The housing is even to scale!
There’s no emulation jiggery-pokery here. This build uses an original Wii motherboard that’s been cut down to the bare basics. Measuring just 62 mm by 62 mm, it features the CPU, GPU, RAM, and flash memory, while most of the extraneous hardware has been eliminated. Power and data is provided to the board from a special Wii Power Strip PCB, while...

À Asheville, en Caroline du Nord, un petit groupe de personnes s’est saisi d’oursons cachés dans un arbre pour s’amuser avec eux et prendre des photos : un comportement à risque.
