Figma Motion уже доступен в бета-версии, остальные обновления выйдут позже.

Оборот рынка франчайзинга за 2025 год увеличился на 2,5% год к году — до 3,81 трлн рублей, по данным Franshiza.ru.

Что это такое — и чем это не является.

На этот момент у меня уже было около 15 лет в профессиональной разработке, правда работал я в основном на WEB‑платформе.

Этот этап показал мне, что в принципе всё реально и я смогу воспроизвести игру в браузере.

Время идёт не в такт настоящим часам, а с множителем — минута = 3 секунды реального времени (тоже можем менять в конфиге).

Так как я веду разработку с нуля, я могу делать любые эксперименты.

:-DТем не менее, есть целый ряд увлечённых инженеров-энтузиастов, которые прямо сейчас работают над тем, чтобы решить эту проблему, и где в результате у них получаются поразительные устройства — как по компактности, так и по функционалу.

Для начала, наверное, стоит сказать пару слов: а зачем вообще нужны домашние тренажёры — ведь можно пойти и записаться в «нормальный, человеческий фитнес-зал»?

**Кстати говоря, в процессе изучения этого вопроса я тут нашёл любопытную альтернативную ветку, и как раз на большом маховике: просто, прямолинейно, грубо (но работает!)

Ииии… Смотрите, какая красивая конструкция получается: этот выходной вал вращается на относительно больших оборотах, и на него може…

Представьте себе площадь: людную, шумную, и на ней стоят двое, назовем их Алиса и Коля.

Про это в конце (и это, к слову, не теоретическая придирка).

В Диффи-Хеллмане циферблат не на 12 делений, а на огромное простое число, но для интуиции возьмем игрушечный, на 23 деления.

Диффи-Хеллман отвечает на вопрос «как получить общий секрет», и только сертификаты отвечают на вопрос «а с тем ли я его получил».

Алгоритм Шора на достаточно большом квантовом компьютере решает дискретный логарифм быстро, причем и на циферблате, и на кривых.

По сути, вся конструкция — это поплавок на привязи, только не на поверхности, а на заданной глубине под водой.

Свинец мягкий, и это не случайно.

Первыми её в дело пустили англичане, ещё в самом конце Первой мировой: ставили донные магнитные мины на реках и в прибрежной зоне против немецких кораблей.

Испытали на лидере эскадренных миноносцев «Ленинград» и на опытном корабле «Дозорный».

Напомню, что опасность не иллюзорна: англичане и французы уже несут от магнитных мин ощутимые потери, и об этом прекрасно известно и командованию флота, и наверху.

Я получил это прекрасное письмо:«Доступ запрещён», хотя на самом деле нетПосле регистрации я попытался перейти на fdp.fifa.org — FIFA Football Data Platform.

Доступ запрещён, уходите, не на что тут смотреть.

Я это не тестировал и не передавал ничего на конечные точки RTMP, но инфраструктура для этого уже была готова.

Но у FIFA не было ни программы баг-баунти, ни security.txt, ни публичных контактов по вопросам безопасности.

Попытка 2: WhatsAppЯ нашёл в LinkedIn Себастьяна Рунге (главу Football Technology & Data в FIFA, 14 лет в организации).

Если вы смотрите на часы, а потом понимаете, что не помните время, если вы открываете таск‑трекер и не помните, зачем зашли, если вы теряете нить разговора, если вы забываете ключи, наливаете вторую чашку кофе, плохо спите и вам снятся рабочие задачи, возможно, эта статья уже про вас.

Искусственный интеллект — та беда, которая пришла, откуда и не ждали.

Симптомы цифрового слабоумияНа самом деле, понять, что с вами что‑то не так, очень просто: вы сами чувствуете это «не так».

Ведь так хорошо оказаться созависимым не с бывшими или родителями, а с родным гаджетом.

Бесплатный курс «Системный администратор Linux с нуля» Освойте администрирование Linux на SelectOS и станьте востребованным специалистом.

Сейчас же он занимается и логированием, и пользовательскими сессиями, и событиями устройств, и временем, и сетью, и временными файлами, и домашними каталогами, и OOM (Out-of-Memory-менеджер).

Например, команда runlevel показывает текущий уровень загрузки, равно как и файл /sbin/init присутствует на диске, пусть и в форме символьной ссылки на systemd .

Это давно известный трюк, который при наличии физического доступа к компьютеру позволяет загрузиться в Linux с правами суперпользователя без знания пароля от системы.

А чтобы было чуть интереснее, собрал это в виде истории, которой позавидует любой индийский фильм или турецкий сериал.

А у Игоря тут же упала валидация базы - потому что не бывает такого, чтобы у близнецов были разные года рождения.

Но иногда отмечание может затянуться (или оформить документы просто некому) и изначальная запись так и висит в базе.

Потому что иногда и это под вопросом и не факт, что это сразу удается установить.

Причем, это скорее результат судебных решений и присутствует на уровне отдельных провинций и юрисдикций (в Штатах такое разрешено в Калифорнии).

Устройство питается от литий-ионной батареи на 220 мАч.

Резисторы выбирал из наличия, при 4,2 В на батарее после делителя получается 1,1 В.Теперь перейдём к программной части.

А в итоге всё дело оказалось в программном обеспечении к принтеру.

Сравнение корпусов из пластика и из смолыВ итоге получилось компактное и полезное устройство с временем работы в режиме ожидания более месяца.

Все файлы проекта (плата в AltiumDesigner, прошивка в CubeIDE и корпуса в SolidWorks) выложены на яндекс диск.

Поэтому все четыре года считаются по одной и той же методике и в одной таблице.

В простой бытовой — «одна и та же тётка и кассир, и проверяющий, и аудитор».

Учитель с n=23 теперь сравнивается не с одиночными учителями с n=1, а с агрегатом, представляющим «типичного небольшого преподавателя».

Олимпиадные дипломы — это не гайки и не творог.

Мы тогда стремились сделать всё с помощью HTML и CSS.

Но с развитием HTML и CSS появились классные подходы, которые частично заменяют логику, написанную на JavaScript.

Стилизация элементов с помощью псевдо-класса :has() вместо переключения классовВ интерфейсах обычное дело, когда стилизация компонента зависит от каких-то условий.

Модальные окна и другие всплывающие элементыВ начале моей карьеры всплывающие элементы всегда делались с помощью библиотеки jQuery.

Сначала с помощью псевдо-класса :has() я выбираю момент, когда пользователь навёл курсор на элемент с классом .card__item .

На связи Selectel, и сегодня мы разберемся, что именно обещала Donut Lab и к каким выводам пришли специалисты после проверки.

Как все начиналосьВ начале 2026 года на выставке CES финский стартап Donut Lab, связанный с производителем электромотоциклов Verge, представил свою разработку как нечто исключительное.

По данным расследований, сама технология пришла не из Donut Lab.

Позже технология оказалась связана с финской Nordic Nano, а Donut Lab взяла на себя ее продвижение и работу с инвесторами.

Такое расхождение между заявленными и фактическими характеристиками заставило усомниться и в других обещаниях компании, включая ресурс и скорость зарядки.

Хост и устройствоВ стандарте USB в зависимости от роли в обмене информацией различают хост и устройство.

Например, если передаются восемь единиц подряд11111111и передача начинается из состояния J, то состояние линии не будет изменяться:J J J J J J J JОтсутствие переходов затрудняет восстановление тактовой частоты приёмником.

Если передача начинается из состояния J, то последовательность состояний будет выглядеть так:Биты: 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 Состояния: J J J J J J K K KПолучатель также отслеживает последовательности единиц.

Можно будет посмотреть, чем отличаются сигналы для USB LS и USB FS на линиях D+ и D-.

Для этого достаточно подтяжку к 3.3 В через 1.5 кOм делать для D- в случае USB LS и д…

Её и в самом ядре нашли в сотнях мест; что уж говорить про прикладной код.

Это не про строки вообще.

Такие fixed-width поля живы и сейчас, но это редкий частный случай — а strncpy сорок лет тащат в обычный код как «strcpy, который не стреляет в ногу».

Если strlen(src) >= n , то strncpy запишет ровно n байт и не поставит завершающий \0 .

Где зарыты шесть летЗамена — это не «найти и поменять на безопасный аналог».

В адресной строке честно горит binance.us - и это не монтаж: бар настоящий, его рисует сам браузер, я проверил по кадрам.

Реальный сервер засвечен у трёх, и на каждом таком сервере ровно один боевой домен.

Не меньше ~$784k украдено у ~70 кошельков-жертв - нижняя граница: прямая сумма адресов, которые только отдавали и ничего не получали назад.

Продают Galaxy A27 через ИИ, само собой: на выбор Gemini и Perplexity, а голосовой ассистент Bixby позволит управлять смартфоном при помощи обычной речи.

И тут вмешался кризис памяти: Galaxy A26 в США на старте продавался от $300.

К слову, в Европе разница похожая: от 350 € за новую модель при стоимости 300 € на старте за A26.

Также активно тестируется версия с 768 ГБ объединённой памяти, которая будет распределена между центральным и графическим процессорами.

Выйдет ли версия с 768 ГБ памяти — вопрос.

Сейчас Mac Studio с M3 Ultra доступен только в версии с 96 ГБ объединённой памяти.

При этом в 2025 году был представлен Mac Studio на M3 Ultra с 512 ГБ объединённой памяти в топовой конфигурации.

Потенциальная цена Mac Studio на M5 Ultra с 768 ГБ объединённой памяти может составить более $13 тысяч, а с SSD на 16 ТБ перевалить за $20 тысяч.

IBM с помпой показала вычислительный чип рекордно маленького размера, созданный на собственной архитектуре «Наностэк».

Это развитие идеи архитектуры Nanostack, в которой транзисторы размещены не листами, как обычно, а вертикально и со смещением.

По предварительным данным новые чипы будут на 50 % производительнее и на 70 % более энергоэффективнее, чем пока ещё не существующие 2-нм чипы IBM.

Ещё в 2021 году IBM представила точно такой же революционный чип, но сделанный по технологии 2 нм.

Так что говорить о реальной производительности пока сложно: сравнение идёт между двумя пока ещё воздушными замками.

Внезапное обновление Apple Store завершилось не самыми приятными новостями.

Ранее о «неизбежном» росте цен заявил Тим Кук.

Как это выглядит сейчас:MacBook Neo: 256 ГБ — $600 → $700.

512 ГБ с Touch ID — $700 → $800 ($700);MacBook Air M5: 13 дюймов — было от $1100 → стало $1300.

15 дюймов — $1300 → $1500;MacBook Pro M5: 14 дюймов — $1700 → $2000, М5 Pro 16 дюймов — $2700 → $3000;Vision Pro — $3500 → $3700;Mac mini М4 на 256 ГБ — $600 → $800;HomePod — $300 → $350;HomePod mini — $100 → $130;iPad Air: 11 дюймов — $600 → $750, 13 дюймов — $800 → $950;iPad Pro — $1000 → $1200;Apple TV — $130 → $200.

Итальянская Pinarello любезно предоставила свой культовый шоссейный велосипед для участия в мужской коллекции Louis Vuitton весна−лето 2027.

Уникальным оформлением Dogma F занимался креативный директор мужской линии модного дома Фаррелл Уильямс (да-да, тот самый певец).

Эксклюзивная версия велосипеда получила кожаные седло с монограммой Louis Vuitton и обрамление руля, а также хромированные элементы, например вилку переднего колеса.

При этом Dogma F сохранил свой спортивный потенциал: колёса Princeton CarbonWorks Mach 7580 TSV2 с покрышками Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR, а также трансмиссия Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 с позолоченной цепью.

25 июня в 11:00 по московскому времени приложения холдинга VK начали пропадать из App Store.

Сначала это коснулось только сервисов в виде «VK Видео», «VK Музыки» и «VK Мессенджера», затем под нож попали «Почта mail.ru» и «Дзен».

Следом Минцифры пожаловалось ФАС после удаления сервисов VK из App Store.

Приложения VK уже пропадали из App Store в сентябре 2022 года.

В начале июня 2026 года Apple удалила из App Store мессенджер «МАКС».

Компания уверена, что владельцам «Стимбокса» не придётся обновлять устройство как минимум до середины следующего консольного поколения.

Прирост производительности нового игрового железа потихоньку выходит на плато, ПК-бояре давно потеряли необходимость обновлять железки раз в пару лет, а ещё и новое поколение консолей откладывается до 2028 года минимум.

Так что Steam Machine останется в своём прайме лет пять, даже несмотря на производительность уровня RTX 3060.

По его словам, компания с радостью продавала бы Steam Machine дешевле, если бы могла: железо собрано практически по рыночной себестоимости и дешевле не станет, пока не решится вопрос с дефицитом комплектующих.

Компания представила большое обновление для умного ассистента «Алиса AI».

Теперь она может объяснить сложный график, придумать описание к таблице или разложить техническую схему простым языком.

Как сообщает пресс-служба «Яндекса», обновлённый ИИ-ассистент может накидать рабочий план тренировок, выбрать за вас роутер и по фотографии сказать, куда в двигателе заливать масло.

Кроме того, умная помощница теперь умеет на лету подстраиваться под ваш стиль общения и лучше запоминает важные детали из диалога.

А вот когда обновление раскатают для всех пользователей — не уточняется.

Rockstar Games шокировала геймеров поднятием цен на Grand Theft Auto VI — за базовое издание компания зарядила $80, а за ультимейт-версию — добрую сотню!

К счастью, в PlayStation Store и магазине XBOX предусмотрены региональные скидки, так что мы посмотрели, куда необходимо перебраться цифровым кочевникам, чтобы затариться GTA VI как можно дешевле.

Регион Цена за базовое издание Конверсия по курсу ЦБ Южная Корея 89 800 원 4310 руб.

При этом самую жирную котлету за новую GTA придётся отвалить Европе и в Соединённом Королевстве.

Предзаказы GTA VI во всех регионах уже открыты!

Тревогу с ценами на новые айфоны навели Тим Кук, заявивший о «неизбежном» увеличении стоимости, а затем и прогнозы WSJ, которая считают, что новинка может достигнуть $1400.

Не все аналитики согласны с этим мнением.

Apple может поднять цены на $50−100 для iPhone 18 Pro, — считают в агентстве J.P. Morgan.

Как передаёт инсайдер Макс Вайнбах со ссылкой на аналитиков, компания попытается компенсировать дорогую память иными способами.

Как видно в таблице, ожидаемые BOM (стоимость компонентов / bill of materials) и ASP (средняя цена продажи / average selling price) в 2027 фискальном году Apple (начинается 27 сентября) $596 и $1084.

Кроме того, Яндекс показал ИИ-сервис для создания сайтов Vibecraft и мультимодальные маршруты в Яндекс Go.

Чтобы рутина не съедала рабочую неделю, топ-менеджеры собирают личные системы из ИИ-помощников, сервисов для встреч, диктофонов и платформ для прототипирования.

Plaud.ai — сервис и устройство-диктофон для записи встреч, звонков и переговоров, разработанный в Китае в 2021 году.

В итоге встреча превращается не в архив на потом, а в готовый список задач.

Пользователь описывает идею словами, ИИ уточняет детали, а сервис помогает собрать первый вариант сайта, CRM-системы, трекера, опроса, онлайн-игры или другого веб-приложения.

Опрошенные Russian Business эксперты сходятся в одном: начинать стоит не с установки новых сервисов, а с выбора конкретной задачи, которая забирает больше всего времени.

По словам участников рынка, многие компании больше не могут рассчитывать на финансовые результаты, которые были нормой ещё несколько лет назад.

По словам CEO компании «Этажи» Ильдара Хусаинова, 40% девелоперов в России не рассчитывают получить прибыль в 2026 году.

По словам участников рынка, значительная часть расходов девелоперов сегодня связана не со строительством проектов, а с обслуживанием финансовых обязательств перед банками.

«Мы сегодня видим, что в стоимости квартир всех застройщиков 20% составляют финансовые услуги.

«Каждый [застройщик], реализуя свой проект, должен помнить, что в этих проектах людям жить десятилетия, создавать семьи, растить детей.

С 1 октября 2026 года самозанятым и ИП ограничат работу с одним заказчиком через цифровые платформы, сообщил Forbes.

Бренд UMO объявил стоимость своего второго кроссовера — модель UMO 8 будет стоить в России от 5 млн рублей.

Новинка спроектирована на базе гибридного GAC S7, однако оказалась почти на 900 тыс.

Автомобиль разработан на базе китайского кроссовера GAC S7, который вышел на российский рынок весной 2026 года.

Кроссовер адаптировали для эксплуатации в РоссииПо словам основателя и генерального директора EVM Ильи Рашкина, инженеры адаптировали модель к российским климатическим условиям.

В перспективе планируется развивать российские решения для телематики, программного обеспечения, мультимедиа, электроники кузова и отдельных элементов электрической силовой установки.

Минцифры России обратилось в Федеральную антимонопольную службу с просьбой оперативно рассмотреть ситуацию с удалением приложений VK из App Store.

Ранее из российского App Store исчезли VK Музыка, VK Мессенджер, VK Видео, «Одноклассники», «Дзен» и Почта Mail.ru.

В Минцифры также заявили, что Apple не соблюдает ряд требований российского законодательства:предоставление пользователям возможность выбрать поисковую систему по умолчанию;предустановка российского магазина приложений на устройства Apple.

Лишь 29% россиян в возрасте от 18 до 27 лет испытывают дискомфорт из-за звонков с незнакомых номеров, сообщает сервис «МТС Секретарь».

В целом стресс из-за вызовов от чужих людей испытывают 40% жителей страны от 27 до 65 лет.

Большинство не доверяет незнакомым номерамПо данным МТС, только 38% россиян готовы отвечать на звонки с неизвестных номеров.

Теперь сервис может самостоятельно передавать адрес, этаж, номер квартиры и код домофона, если пользователь не может или не хочет отвечать на звонок.

ИИ на базе большой языковой модели распознаёт звонки от служб доставки и в режиме реального времени определяет, какую информацию нужно передать курьеру.

Компания Intel опубликовала компилятор ISPC 1.31 (Implicit SPMD Program Compiler), предназначенный для сборки кода на языке Си с расширениями параллельного программирования SPMD (Single Program, Multiple Data), позволяющими добиться параллельного выполнения нескольких экземпляров одной программы с разными наборами входных данных.

После 6 месяцев разработки представлен первый предварительный выпуск композитного сервера Xfwl4, использующего протокол Wayland. Xfwl4 написан на языке Rust с использованием библиотеки Smithay. В качестве причины создания нового композитного сервера упоминается неудачная попытка реализации одновременной поддержки X11 и Wayland в существующей кодовой базе оконного менеджера xfwm4, который изначально был спроектирован с учётом тесной интеграции протокола X11, что затруднило отделение общей логики управления окнами от специфики X11.

It costs between £15 and £20 a kilo (it was £9/kg not so long ago), mainly because it’s harvested by hand and the cost of labour has risen.

A lot of companies are getting bitten by high AI costs.

Currently, big AI labs have what we call frontier models and those models perform exceptionally well for a wide variety of tasks.

Frontier AI labs are doing research and hosting both on their own and hence, the costs of those models are the highest.

Most AI labs have likely ingested everything available in digital and print media for the model training.

Zero switching costsTraditional Software like Windows OS, MS Office, Adobe Suite and SaaS like Salesforce, Hubspot, and Figma had a very important moat that AI models don’t have.

The floor price covers the historically high gross margins mentioned above, and the ceiling price means those who commit to an SCA are insulated if memory prices go even higher.

The CEO said 16 customers have signed SCAs and then explained why it’s worth locking into the deals even though they bake in such high margins.

“Our customers are recognizing that supply shortages in memory and storage will take considerable time to improve,” he said.

Don’t assume that SCAs mean your suppliers get price certainty, because Mehrotra said the deals will account for 40 percent of Micron revenue – meaning the company is reserving most of its inventory to sell at prices it can negotiate.

An open letter regarding the launch of Akrites – a coordinated effort to remediate vulnerabilities in the open source software the world runs onFor decades, open source has been one of the great achievements of technology – software we built together and came to depend on completely.

So we are stating plainly: We all depend on open source, and we will all defend it together.

The window is open now to get ahead of the new open source security risk reality, but it will not stay open.

Of the thousands of validated open source vulnerabilities surfaced in recent months, fewer than 5% have been patched.

Trade card advertises the 'Charter Oak' model lawn mower and features an illustration of a young woman operating the machine, mid 1870s.

In films such as Blue Velvet and American Beauty, a well-tended, suburban American lawn represents sterile, oppressive conformity.

This is the permanent underclass meme.

In the middle you have this hair-thin layer of people with shares in the companies that foomed and catabolized the whole economy: the permanent overclass.

You escaped the permanent underclass.

So the permanent overclass is materially unnecessary at best, and at worst, they are an obstacle to the state getting what it wants.

These conversations almost never lead anywhere; the rebuttal is always that the next model will be better than the last.

So, I tried to make a simpler point: the books are all the same.

And before we dive in, I think that children’s encyclopedias are targeted with such ferocity for three reasons:They probably sell well.

Most of the books in question were published mid-2026 and the artwork points to a flagship model from a major US-based lab.

Framework's 10G Ethernet module exposes USB-C's complexityI've been following WisdPi's development of various 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet adapters for the past couple years.

They use newer Realtek Ethernet chips, which sometimes have performance quirks—most frequently encountered under Linux.

In today's video, I tested the new WisdPi 10G Ethernet Expansion Card for Framework computers.

The main problem is USB-C's bandwidth complexity—especially when paired with the Realtek RTL8159 Ethernet controller, which requires USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) to get the full rated 10 Gbps speeds.

If you need something faster, and don't want an external USB-C dongle, then and only then should you consider…

penAI reportedly plans to share its newest model, GPT 5.6, with a select group of partners instead of to the broader public. The reason: the Trump administration told it to.

YouTube Shorts is getting a makeover.

Agent-testing startup Patronus AI, founded by former Meta AI researchers, is experiencing nearly insatiable demand, its investor says.

The prediction market giant Polymarket said it's refunding users who had funds stolen due to a third party breach.

The price increase comes amid rising components costs.

The company said it is discontinuing its email inbox in favor of its AI agent offering as users are increasingly handing over the reins of their email to the agents.

Base Power is skipping the PJM's troubled interconnection queue by placing its batteries at people's homes, offering backup services in exchange.

Despite ChatGPT's commanding market lead, consumers who pay for AI have been increasingly choosing Anthropic's Claude, data shows.

Un0 is an image-generation system tool that shows for the first time how the company's technology can replicate conventional AI systems.

Market research company Klue told customers that it believes the hacking group that stole their data is now deleting it. The company, however, warned about a second group of hackers wanting ransom.

After promising a year of optional extended update support, Microsoft has changed its policy, tacking on another year to its Extended Security Updates (ESU) program.

That was a problem for Microsoft, as Windows 11 usage had only barely surpassed Windows 10 when support ended.

Microsoft’s solution was to give everyone on the old OS a free year of extended updates.

That program was set to end on October 12, 2026, but Microsoft has updated its policy with hardly a whisper, pushing back the end of extended updates to October 12, 2027.

Microsoft famously extended the support window for Windows XP numerous times throughout the 2010s as it became apparent that millions of PCs would never be update…

“Over the last decade, school districts across the country experimented with a massive increase in screen time for students,” Carr said at today’s meeting.

We seek comment on whether Congress intended E-Rate to operate indefinitely, regardless of the extent to which schools and libraries have achieved universal connectivity.

And in April 2025, the San Francisco-based company released Notion Mail, a Gmail client primarily built by people who joined Notion through the Skiff acquisition.

Today, Notion announced that it’s shutting down Notion Mail, effectively killing what little remained of Skiff email.

As Notion agents have gotten more capable, we’ve seen more users hand off email workflows to them.

Today, more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without ever opening their inbox.

A support page reads: “When the Notion Mail inbox shuts down, your email history will stay exactly where it is in Gmail.”

The website has gotten a few major updates over the years, but it has never had a mobile app until now.

Anthropic has accused the Chinese firm Alibaba of launching the largest attack yet attempting to clone Claude, as China races to match the capabilities of Anthropic’s leading model following Mythos’ release and subsequent restriction from foreign markets.

Alibaba allegedly ignored Trump warningLike other Chinese labs attempting to copy US frontier models, Alibaba’s aim, Anthropic alleged, was to extract Claude’s capabilities “without incurring the training and R&D costs required to train” their own frontier model.

Now, we can apparently add an additional oddity: overlapping magnetic fields.

Researchers have found a star/planet combo that experiences periodic brightening, which they ascribe to the interactions between the magnetic fields of both bodies.

People had already proposed that a planet orbiting close to its host star could interact with it if its magnetic field were sufficiently strong.

An international team of researchers has created the most comprehensive look at flaring in a star with a close-in planet.

The star itself is called GJ 436, a red dwarf half the mass of the Sun that resides about 30 light-years from Earth.

Today, the company revealed that the US Commerce Department has declined to authorize imports of new Polestars from model year 2027 onward as part of a rule banning connected cars from automakers with Chinese links.

Polestar says it will continue to sell its existing stock of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs and “will continue to support customers, including providing access to its service network.” But we can forget about the Polestar 5 sedan, the Polestar 6 roadster, or any future models making it to these shores.

At the time, Polestar told Ars that it was continuing to work with US authorities to meet the regulations; that work was evidently in vain.

Apple bumped its prices across much of its product lineup today, in some cases adding hundreds of dollars to the cost of a new Macintosh.

And at the very high end, an M3 Ultra Mac Studio—which features 96GB of memory—sees a $1,300 price increase to $5,299.

Consequently, supply shortages and high memory prices have been affecting the tech industry for months now, driving up the prices of many consumer electronics and causing others to disappear from sale.

For example, in March, Apple quietly removed a memory-heavy configuration of the M3 Ultra Mac (which featured 512GB of memory) from its store.

For long-time Apple customers who remember how much Apple used to charge for RAM during the Power…

Europe is in the midst of its second big heat wave of the year, and it’s breaking more records.

The London Climate Resilience Review found that 18 elevators in public housing blocks in a single city borough failed during the 2022 heat wave.

For many climate scientists, the link between the frequency and duration of these heat waves and climate change cannot be overstated.

Some have even gone public with their dissatisfaction with the media coverage of the heat wave.

This past May, only 40 percent of British television and radio news stories about the heat wave linked it to climate change, according to Climate News Tracker.

The US Endangered Species Act compels the government to identify species at risk of extinction and devise plans to restore populations and the habitats they depend on.

It has seen some spectacular successes, such as the restoration of the bald eagle to much of its original range.

On Thursday, it was announced that all of those species would see their genomes sequenced and tissue samples preserved to aid future conservation efforts.

One is the US government, which has generally attempted to undercut the Endangered Species Act as part of its anti-regulatory efforts.

It is joined by Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company that has a controversial take on what actually constitutes a species.

All the Homo naledi skeletons in Rising Star Cave are female, and that probably didn’t happen by accident.

Excavations at Rising Star have sparked debate about whether these little hominins had all ended up in the caves by tragic accident, or whether they’d been carefully placed there by other members of their enigmatic species, dubbed Homo naledi.

Now there’s a plot twist that may speak to how the remains got there: All of the hominins in Rising Star are female, at least according to the proteins in their dental enamel.

It appears that every single skeleton in the cave system, meaning every known Homo naledi (except the ones for whom the anthropologists found only bones, not teeth), is gen…

A new chip architecture from IBM can integrate nearly 100 billion transistors on a chip the size of a human fingernail—nearly twice the transistor density of the company’s previous generation of chip technology.

The resulting improvement in chip compute performance and energy efficiency comes from what IBM describes as the “world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology” for AI data centers.

He described the new chip technology as “pointing to a future where computing becomes significantly more powerful without a corresponding increase in energy.”It’s worth unpacking what the “world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology” means, because it is impractical to build reliably functional chips w…

Additionally, disclaimers make it clear that the physical release of GTA6 will not include a physical disc.

The game’s “Ultimate Edition” will sell for $99 and will include a plethora of exclusive perks for the single-player portion of the game.

(GTA6 will launch with its single-player campaign first, with its online modes coming sometime later.)

Developer Rockstar Games’ marketing says that the ultimate edition includes “an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of” the story.

While many gamers will find the new price level frustrating, it’s not a surprise.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and Codex and the models those tools utilize, and Broadcom, an established silicon supplier, have announced a new chip called Jalapeño, designed specifically for large language model inference in data centers.

The chip is intended to be deployed at large data centers, both companies claim this is just the first generation in a long-term project that will see chips refined over time.

Broadcom says that this ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) was designed from scratch for LLM inference, based on “detailed insights” from the company’s conversations with researchers at OpenAI, and that the chip’s development was informed by OpenAI’s own roadmap for…

You may not be able to use the new ChatGPT 5.6 as soon as it's finished.

Shortly after, however, OpenAI rival Anthropic disabled all access to two of its recent models followi…

xAI has long promoted Grok as a racier kind of chatbot with fewer of the guardrails of other AI companies.

That includes using Grok to generate actual porn, as well as "adult role-play chats" and "huge volumes of requests for erotica."

All that would suggest that SpaceX can attribute a decent amount of xAI revenue to porn and adult content.

Some employees were also less than thrilled with being assigned to work on "Ani," Grok's NSFW anime-inspired avatar companion.

Others were reportedly "embarrassed and disturbed" by the ensuing scandal after Grok created a bunch of sexualized images of real people, including children.

Commodore has entered the phone business.

Pre-orders for the very adorable Commodore Callback 8020 will open on June 30, and the company has made a welcome change to its cost.

The tradeoff for the $100 lower price will be that the baseline phones will no longer come with Hi-Def IEM earphones by default.

They'll also have a secondhand memory chip by default, and Commodore is backing them with the same one-year warranty as the new ones.

Over the past week, we've worked tirelessly with our partners to find ways to lower the price while staying true to the product we've set out to build."

Spain will require mobile networks to have backup systems that maintain connectivity when power outages occur.

Spain is looking to mitigate situations like the huge power outage that affected the country, as well as Portugal and France, last year.

However, this approach may become somewhat moot in the coming years as satellites that can connect directly to phones are integrated into mobile networks.

The decree will require other key infrastructure elements to remain up and running for a certain period after a power outage.

For instance, control centers that could impact all of Spain if they were to go offline will need to remain in service for at least 24 hours.

Even though it makes an electric SUV in the US, Polestar will effectively be shut out of the local market next year.

The US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security will not permit the brand to sell new models in the country beginning in 2027, according to Carscoops.

The agency's decision falls under the Connected Vehicle Rule, which prohibits selling cars with software or hardware from China or Russia due to national security concerns.

Unless manufacturers acquire authorization to sell stateside, the software block begins in 2027 and hardware will no longer be allowed as of 2030.

It's unclear whether Polestar will continue production in the US or move elsewhere in response …

During World War Two, Britain launched a campaign to reduce clothing waste called Make Do and Mend.

The government sent out training manuals and local groups ran classes to teach people how to make and repair their clothes.

But there's only a handful of companies in the world making the components that make all of those machines work.

The inevitable response is to shrug our shoulders and stoically endure the pain given this is a global issue.

What if we all adopted a Make Do and Mend approach, and did our best to help others do the same in the name of solidarity?

So, of course, Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude was recently tasked with making several predictions for the year 2276, specifically involving California.

By the 22nd century, California had ceased to be merely a state.

The idea of how California’s coast might change is prominent in the predictions, including what will happen along the coastal areas of Los Angeles.

Inland, in places like Pasadena and Glendale, there will be towers of compressed earth and timber by 2276, according to Claude.

The Claude predictions also include ideas about languages, including ones that currently exist as well as a language not yet invented called Pacifican.

Barbarian put Zach Cregger on the map as a horror filmmaker in 2022, but, despite being a cult hit, it never got a physical media release.

That changes on August 11, when 20th Century Studios will release a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray SteelBook edition of the film.

Just last year, Cregger lamented Barbarian‘s lack of physical media release in an interview with Ringer Movies.

“I have banged the drum and made phone calls and tried my best to get some sort of physical media, and I’m not making headway, and it kinda bums me out,” he said.

After Tesla’s sales in Europe took a nosedive last year, the company appears to be making a comeback on the continent.

“In this new geopolitical environment, Europe has to become a geopolitical power,” French President Emmanuel Macron said at the Munich Security Conference in February.

Still, EVs should be one of the easiest sectors for Europe to break its dependence on American tech.

Unlike cloud computing or social media, Europe already has several homegrown automakers making EVs, including Volkswagen, BMW, and Stellantis.

But for now, Tesla seems confident European customers will keep making their way back to its showrooms.

That news comes to us via the AI-generated search results provided by privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo.

Even if you’ve seen Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre before—or five or 10 times before—any chance to see it on the big screen, especially in gloriously remastered 4K, is one worth taking.

Mark your calendar for August 18, aka “Texas Chain Saw Day,” so designated because the 1974 film tells us its events, which led to “the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history,” took place on August 18, 1973.

Robert Eggers left a gift-wrapped vampire under the Christmas tree in 2024.

In his first Werwulf-adjacent interview, conducted by Esquire, Eggers confirmed what kind of monster we’ll be seeing in the film.

And, in keeping with his obsession with history, he found a way into the 700-year-old tale through real-world means.

The company is now among the top developers and distributors of cutting-edge AI models and courts customers like the US military.

To understand why, you first have to understand that Anthropic operates based on two core beliefs.

The first is that artificial intelligence is the most transformative technology in human history, and its arrival is inevitable.

Internally, leaders and employees at the company often refer to themselves as the “good guys,” meaning the ones being responsible stewards of AI technology, two of the sources said.

Venezuela declared a national emergency following two earthquakes of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude that occurred just 39 seconds apart on Wednesday.

This phenomenon, known as a seismic doublet, is rare.

The quakes occurred at depths of 20.3 and 10 kilometers and were felt across much of northern Venezuela and in several Caribbean countries.

The sequence was classified as a severe seismic doublet, a phenomenon that occurs when two earthquakes of similar magnitude strike almost simultaneously in nearby areas.

When it ruptured, it released stress that was transferred to a nearby fault, rapidly triggering the second event.

The car’s driver, 44-year-old Michael Butler, later told police that he had Tesla’s driver assistance features—which the automaker argues make driving safer and less stressful—engaged during the crash.

Butler exhibited “no signs of intoxication,” the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, which responded to the crash, noted in a report.

Now Avila’s family is suing not only Butler but also Tesla, alleging that the electric automaker's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance feature, also called FSD, played a role in her death.

The suit alleges Tesla’s tech “was defective in design and unreasonably dangerous,” lawyers representing Avila’s daughter and son-in-law wrote in a lawsuit filed in …

When someone brand-new to hydroponic gardening asks me which system they should start with, I almost always tell them to begin with an Aerogarden.

These gardens have been around forever, and they’re famously foolproof and easy to maintain—just add water and nutrients every couple of weeks.

You don't even have to use the brand's proprietary pods, either, though this model comes with a set to get started.

While it's still Prime Day, grab some sponges and baskets (also on sale right now—50 for $13) so you can eventually use your own seeds to grow right in the garden or transplant outside.

Setup is straightforward, no need for wires or an antenna, and you can set multiple mowing areas.

It mows in neat lines, successfully avoids obstacles, and does some of the best edge cutting I've seen.

It does a couple of edge passes and gets as close as possible, eliminating that annoying verge that most robot lawn mowers leave behind.

According to The Information, the White House told OpenAI it wants the company to release its next model in a limited fashion, to a select group of close partners.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly told staff that the company's newest model, GPT 5.6, will be launched very differently than previous ones, with the government approving access "customer by customer."

As for OpenAI's GPT 5.6, the model is reportedly a "meaningful improvement" over GPT 5.5, both in terms of context window size and efficiency.

The World Cup has seen its fair share of celebrity guests, but Ed Norton's presence during Thursday's USA vs. Turkey game really got the internet talking.

AI agent orchestration platforms are popping up like weeds these days, but London-based AI transformation startup Mindstone's Rebel might be among the most promising I've come across. That's because the system, which officially launched this week, is a local-first, agentic AI operating system distributed under a "Fair Source" license, allowing teams of under 100 users to freely adopt and customize it to suit their needs, while those organizations with more users will require paying for an enterprise license. The marquee features are its simplicity and extensive customizability to fit any given team, no matter how unique or specific the workflows, all based around the common, open source sta…

The release covers seven domains under a single architecture: MCP, Search, Terminal, Software Engineering, Android, Web, and OS. The release extends Alibaba's recent push into autonomous agents. Qwen3.7-Max, released in May, was built around a 35-hour autonomous execution capability. That shift targets a ceiling teams training agents at scale run into directly. Real search engines surface whatever results exist, with no mechanism to inject controlled conditions. Live terminals do not allow injecting a low-disk-space condition on de…

As enterprise AI agents take on increasingly complex, long-horizon tasks, their performance is often restricted by their harness, the software scaffolding that connects the backbone LLM to its environment. Currently, harnesses are largely static and hand-crafted. Improving them is largely manual and they do not automatically improve based on the execution data they collect from their environment.To address this engineering bottleneck, researchers at Xiaomi introduced HarnessX, a framework that treats the AI harness as a composable object and autonomously applies improvements to its code. In real-world enterprise applications, this automated adaptation enables AI systems to dynamically adjus…

Drug discovery is notoriously inefficient. Pharmaceutical projects span years, moving from one specialized human team to the next through disconnected workflows that result in knowledge loss during each handoff. A shocking 90% to 95% of drug discovery projects reportedly fail — one of the highest failure rates of any industry. A single successful drug can take over a dozen years and up to $1 billion from initial discovery to patient distribution, according to published reports. Generative AI is being used to solve some of the challenges, but Stanford researchers have moved the ball forward with agentic AI. A team led by James Zou, associate professor of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford U…

Shopify built an LLM proxy that gives every engineer access to multiple AI providers — with automatic failover when any one of them goes down, changes, or disappears. When Claude Fable 5 shut down, Shopify's engineers didn't go into panic mode.

Shopify buys tokens in bulk and all users connect to m…

AI agents are increasingly proficient at executing business tasks autonomously, but IT leaders are cautious about granting permissions to access enterprise systems. Part of the challenge lies in how AI reliability is measured. Industry standards often rely on EVAL scores, which provide a static snapshot of performance rather than a measure of overall reliability. These metrics can fail to capture predictability across prompts, environments, and input types, said Bryan Silverthorn, director of the AGI Autonomy research lab at Amazon.Amazon’s AGI autonomy research lab is moving beyond raw performance benchmarks, focusing instead on a structured framework centered on consistency, robustness, p…

Customer expectations have shifted from simple, fast conversational interactions to complex agentic AI-powered tasks that legacy IT architectures simply can’t handle. To address this, Intuit made the bold decision to overhaul its technical infrastructure for its business platform. The company moved away from its multi-agent setup, which prioritized broad capabilities, to a granular, skill-and-tool-based architecture while embedding human experts directly into the workflow alongside AI. This shift involved decomposing its massive agents into specialized components, separating the brain from the hands, essentially."We went from a multi-agent system where we had large agents that did a lot to …

OpenAI and Broadcom this morning unveiled their first custom AI accelerator chip named "Jalapeño," positioning it is as a purpose-built processor for large language model (LLM) inference, rather than the more general GPUs offered by the likes of Nvidia or AMD. According to its creators, Jalapeño is designed to support workloads behind ChatGPT, Codex, the API and future agentic products, though notably, both OpenAI's and Broadcom's news releases position it as a product that could be made available to external AI firms as well — "built from the ground up for current and future LLMs across the industry." [Emphasis mine.]Jalapeño's engineering timeline set a blistering pace for the semiconduct…

While many enterprises have already begun integrating AI-generated images, visuals, graphics and videos into their production workflows — there is also a growing pool of data and subjective commentary indicating AI imagery ultimately looks non-distinct, monotonous, and too unoriginal to ensure a brand and its assets stand out from the pack. That it's "AI slop," in other words. AI creative tools startup Krea is hoping to change that trend by opening up the weights to its new frontier AI image model Krea 2 as two versions, "Krea 2 Raw" and "Krea 2 Turbo," under a custom license that requires firms with more than 50 seats to pay for Enterprise usage, and mandates all users of any size to imple…

TikTok and YouTube have deactivated roughly 4.7 million accounts belonging to children under 16 in Indonesia, the country’s communications minister said on 25 June.

The bulk of the cuts came from one platform: TikTok deactivated 4.1 million accounts, while YouTube removed 600,000, according to Communications and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid.

The deactivations follow a rule the government issued in March, which requires social media companies operating platforms deemed high risk to remove accounts held by children under 16.

The figures come from the minister’s own account, and the companies’ published detail on how the accounts were identified is limited.

Every satellite company eventually looks down at the much larger market on the ground, and SpaceX appears ready to make the move.

The company has told investors it plans to launch a Starlink mobile service for US consumers, the Financial Times reported on 26 June, citing people familiar with the matter.

The mechanics of a price rise can matter as much as the price itself, which is the question Italy’s competition authority has now decided to examine.

According to the authority’s statement, Microsoft did not adequately inform consumers that Microsoft 365 had been integrated with its AI tools, Copilot and Designer.

Microsoft has folded Copilot into product after product, even as data showed only a small fraction of users were paying for it.

Microsoft sits under antitrust scrutiny on more than one front.

For now the case is an investigation, not a verdict, and the price rise proceeds on schedule regardless.

A law is only as strong as the door it actually closes, and Australia’s ban on social media for under-16s appears to have left a window open.

It found that 85% of Australians aged 12 to 15 were still using social media three months after the ban began.

The BMJ paper suggests the rule has changed where teenagers say they are rather than where they actually are.

An age limit that depends on a user honestly entering a date of birth, or on an algorithm correctly guessing an age from a selfie, is an age limit with an obvious soft spot, and two-thirds of underage users appear to have found it.

The deeper problem is the one the BMJ paper exposes: an age limit enforced largely by self-declaration i…

Corporate America is hemorrhaging money through inefficient IT business processes, and Jay Roland, founder of Varex Solutions, believes that the industry is complacent about it.

Technical debt, which is the accumulated cost of deferred IT fixes, misconfigurations, and other operational inefficiencies, is projected to cost US enterprises $2.41 trillion a year, costing $1.52 trillion to fix.

This is achieved by Varex’s proprietary technical debt calculator.

This is all algorithmically structured technical debt assessments.

That is the conversation Varex Solutions exists to propel forward, and on Roland’s timeline, it is already overdue.

As organizations introduce AI into increasingly sensitive areas, including healthcare, the findings underscore the importance of transparency, governance, and accountability in building public confidence.

Following the removal of several apps developed by state-controlled tech company VK from the App Store, the Kremlin is now demanding an explanation from Apple.

Kremlin demands answers from AppleYesterday, we covered how Apple had removed two disguised Russian banking apps from the App Store, less than a month after taking down another such app that had climbed into the top three of the U.S. charts.

Now, it appears those weren’t the only Russian apps Apple removed from the App Store yesterday.

Soulver 4 is a big oneTo many long-time Apple users, including at 9to5mac, Soulver has been part of the basic productivity toolset for years.

While its core functionality lets users perform calculations in a natural-language notepad, Soulver has evolved into a far more powerful and versatile app, growing alongside its users’ needs.

Following the launch of Soulver 3 for iPhone in 2024, the now-universal app has been updated to Soulver 4, bringing more than 50 improvements.

Additionally, Soulver 4 has a completely redesigned command line interface which is now friendlier to AI agents.

This marks the app’s first paid upgrade in seven years, with Soulver 3 users eligible for a 50% discount.

A new report from Counterpoint Research predicts that Apple will gain market share across four major product categories this year, setting new records in three of them.

Apple poised to outperform the broader market in several segmentsAccording to the report, Apple is set to hit record market share in smartphones, laptops, and tablets in 2026, with the Apple Watch also set to grow for the year.

As a result, Apple will reach its highest-ever share in the smartphone market in 2026 at around 25%.

The report was published just one day before Apple raised prices across several product categories, though the iPhone and the Apple Watch were spared for now.

Apple, however, is projected to outpace th…

Apple raised prices on many of its products today, and not by small amounts.

But today’s price increases likely aren’t the only ones planned, as a statement Apple gave to the press hints at more changes coming.

Apple cites need to ‘begin raising prices,’ implying today’s increases are just the first moveIn a statement Apple gave to numerous outlets, including Bloomberg, the company said:“We have now reached a point where we need to begin raising prices on a number of products including today’s increases for iPad and Mac.”The key phrases there being “we need to begin raising prices” and “including today’s increases” (emphasis added in both quotes).

Most likely those increases will target the…

A new report from Bloomberg today details that Apple does not plan to release higher-end versions of the upcoming M6 chip.

Apple’s M6 plans are reportedly very different than expectedAccording to the report, the M6 chip has been tested in a new entry-level MacBook Pro and is planned for later this year.

Bloomberg says the next “Pro” and “Max” chips that Apple releases will materialize in the M7 generation next year.

The M6 chip will be the first Apple processor since the advent of Apple Silicon in 2020 to not have a “Pro” or “Max” configuration.

“The base version is slated to support about 240 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth.”Finally, Apple is still working on the M5 Ultra chip.

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex. Ну и по пути сообщает, что у Codex более 2 млн пользователей — в три раза больше, чем в январе. При этом от лица разработчиков заявляю - мы всё больше предпочитаем Claude Code. И разрыв между этими продуктами не сокращается, а субьективно наоборот - растет www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-19/openai-to-acquire-python-startup-astral-expanding-push-into-coding

Вечный источник сливов, the Information пишут, что OpenAI готовится выпустить GPT-5.4, который получит «экстремальный» режим рассуждений и контекстное окно объёмом 1 млн токенов вместо 400 тыс. в GPT-5.2. Честно говоря, эта гонка сейчас перестала так впечатлять как раньше.

Ну и да, в MacBook Neo два порта USB‑C с разными характеристиками: один — USB 3.0 (Type‑C) со скоростью передачи до 10 Гбит/с, другой — USB 2.0 (Type‑C), ограниченный 480 Мбит/с.Интересно, что внешней маркировки я на них не увидел, видимо, "должны знать" :)🔗 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/04/macbook-neo-features-two-different-usb-ports/

Первые впечатления от MacBook Neo — новый самый младший ноутбук от Apple. Он вообще не кажется бюджетным: яркий дисплей и алюминиевый корпус, но клавиатура немного хлипкая, что предсказуемо было.Теперь я не очень понимаю, в чем его отличие от айпада. Видимо, выбор между "встроенная клавиатура" и "тач экран". Ну, рано или поздно они должны будут сойтись.https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/macbook-neo-hands-on-apples-599-laptop-feels-shockingly-great-142313318.html

Сразу две новости рядом: Eight Sleep, продающая умные аксессуары для матрасов, которые отслеживают режим сна и регулируют температуру, привлекла $50 млн при оценке в $1,5 млрд, тогда как в 2021 году её оценка составляла $500 млн. И это для меня удивительно - все тесты показали что их матрасы прямо никуда не годятся по точности отслеживания. Идея регуляции температуры во время сна все еще привлекательна, жаль что их не возят в разные страны.В это же время Whoop, производящая фитнес‑браслеты без экранов, сообщает, что планирует увеличить численность персонала максимум на 75% в 2026 году, создав более 600 должностей в преддверии вероятного IPO.

Polymarket удаляет долго существовавшие рынки, позволявшие пользователям делать ставки на вероятность ядерного взрыва на фоне ударов по Ирану. В прошлом году совокупный обьем ставок на эти события был $1,7 млн, что не так уж и мало. В этом году, как вы понимаете, интерес существенно бОльший.Я не понимаю, чем людям помешали эти ставки, единственная идея — сейчас сильно больше шансы на "манипуляцию", т.е. ради высокой выплаты можно попытаться что-нибудь взорвать.🔗 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/04/polymarket-shelves-nuclear-detonation-markets-after-outcry

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую. Сейчас ANE используются для запуска готовых моделей в основном, автор утверждает, что разобрал приватные API эппла, и теперь всё можно учить прямо на устройстве, не покупая себе очередной A100. В реальности, скорее всего, пользоваться этим будет нельзя, пока эппл явно не разрешит. Но фактически то, что автор репозитория показал, означает, что по сути нас ограничивает только софт, ограничения на уровне железа практически не существует. Хайпа, правда, многовато, т.к. устройства с ANE конечно не рассчитаны на ту огромную и долгов…

ByteDance показали «Project Swan», который выйдет в этом году. Это новый VR шлем с микродисплеем OLED с разрешением 4000 PPI, и новой же Pico OS 6.
