Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...
I bought a portable music player (HiBy R3 II) a couple months ago.
Physical buttons, a headphone jack, good audio quality, local storage.
I bought albums on Bandcamp, and downloaded the files.
This is awesome. I missed this.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!
This fern is a monster!
I found that my writing burnout went away when I stopped caring about turning it into a career and largely stopped worrying about what other people thought of my work, about which of their sacred rules my books violated.
It's very freeing.

Baltimore is not playing around with their street art. Straight to the point.
B-more is not a game. Don't play with that city, remember...Tupac's mom left Baltimore for the projects...for a better life.
Each month I'm buying a classic single

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

A hazy industrial riverscape, rendered in soft, muted tones: factory buildings and tall chimneys rise through a veil of smoke and mist, their edges softened and indistinct. Warm lights glow faintly through the haze, reflecting in the still water below, where the scene dissolves into blurred, shimmering forms. A small cluster of pipes or vents near the waterline emits pale plumes, adding to the layered atmosphere. The overall effect is quiet and atmospheric—heavy with industry, yet strangely calm, with light and reflection gently breaking through the gloom.

Martin Parr, always made the ordinary extraordinary.
and if you’re a touring or local /underground musician if you can somehow find a way to sell a vinyl record for under $25 i’m guaranteed to buy that at a show versus buying a CD kinda feels like i’m buying a tiny poster more than something i’ll actually go through the trouble of listening to
