• Why flat-Earthers are a clear and present threat to an AI-powered society

  29-10-2021 23:57
  
  “Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me – you can’t get fooled again.” Former US President George W Bush. It’s easy to laugh at someone who believes the Earth is flat. Dunking on pro-diseasers (AKA: antivaxxers) has become one of the internet’s favorite sports. And it’s pretty posh by social media standards to ridicule anyone who questions whether the climate-crisis is real. There’s always going to be a small, vocal contingency of peo

  29-10-2021 15:35
  
  A seismic shift has rocked the world: Facebook changed its name to Meta. We’re truly blessed to live in such historical times. While Facebook’s identity and branding switcheroo will get headlines (especially as it’s a way to avoid its heap of problems), this is obscuring the real human story. Yes, I’m talking about the thousands upon thousands of people who now have a tattoo of Meta’s logo. Zuck and his brave new world (which apparently doesn’t include e

  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. This makes it ideal for building small media servers, pet monitors, or any number of similar development projects. Before we talk about how it compares with the Zero W, let’s take a look at its specifications. Specifications Broadcom BCM2710A1, quad-core 64-bit SoC (Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1GHz)

• An exhaustive investigation into Mark Zuckerberg’s saucy bookshelves

  29-10-2021 13:00
  
  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, nay, a public service to do. And do i

  29-10-2021 11:03
  
  The CSIRO’s 64-metre Parkes Radio Telescope was commissioned on October 31, 1961. At the time it was the most advanced radio telescope in the world, incorporating many innovative features that have since become standard in all large-dish antennas. Through its early discoveries, it quickly became the leading instrument of its kind. Today, 60 years later, it is still arguably the finest single-dish radio telescope in the world.

  There’s a new version of Android on the way, and no, it’s not time for Android 13 yet. Instead, Google recently revealed Android ’12L,’ which is essentially a tweaked version of its smartphone OS with a user interface optimized for larger-screen devices — say, tablets and folding phones. It is essentially what iPadOS 15 is to iOS 15. Naturally, much of the new features revolve around multi-tasking and optimizing apps for the larger displays of its intended host dev
