We believe that the washing machine is the hearth of the modern laundry room

I was going to try and edit in some more "AI"s but it’s already near saturated

They even changed their name to SoundHound AI?

The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

Ok now that’s cool. Since it’s often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)

I looked up “Parent AI”, and was disappointed

Key bit

“Unlike traditional heat pipes, pulsating heat pipes diffuse heat through the vibration and circulation of refrigerant inside ultra-thin tubes,” EV Magazine reported. “The method offers more than 10 times the heat transfer efficiency of standard aluminium, effectively moving heat from overheated battery cells to cooling blocks, even under the high demands of a moving vehicle.”

Since ultrafast charging superheats EV batteries, cooling the cells is critical. So, Hyundai’s tech places the heat pipes between cells, reducing the risk of overheating by keeping internal temperatures throughout the battery stable.

I found the screenshot order confusing at first, and it’s not OPs fault since the original article got the screenshots backwards too

From the article:

Synopsis Wes Winder, a Canadian software developer, is facing backlash after his controversial decision to replace his development team with Al backfired. Once a trending topic on Reddit and a source of widespread ridicule, Winder is now in an awkward position as he turns to Linkedln in search of web developers to hire.

I saw this thread which has some discussion

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/android-private-space-vs-work-profile/21101/4

Which to me sounds like ‘private spaces’ is made for this purpose, while shelter + work profile was a workaround for some time. Since it is new, it might take some time for FOSS apps to implement related features, like being able to launch those apps from your homescreen.

Hopefully someone else comes with better advice :)

Edit: these ones suggests that private spaces is better

Oh good, the thumbnail was a ferret

Handout images from the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital show before (top) and after images of the regrowth of teeth in a ferret (centre) and mice (R and L)

specifically the ARES group

Cool, it looks like it operates up here in Canada as well, thanks for sharing! I’ll check them out sometime

In the United States and Canada, the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is a corps of trained amateur radio operator volunteers organized to assist in public service and emergency communications. It is organized and sponsored by the American Radio Relay League and the Radio Amateurs of Canada.

None that I’m currently aware of

There is random.org which could work in the meantime

Some thoughts

• since there can be federation issues, having a bot confirm entries would be helpful. For example, replying to every comment, sending a DM, or having a public list of usernames somewhere

I used to get a lot of items from them, and recently got some more cables, but I have had issues with some things (ex. USB-c docks)

Since this was a bigger purchase, I wanted to be sure 😄

Wow 23 hours ago, perfect timing

Thanks!

Well, there are some things wrong with it though?

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

Wow you weren’t kidding, it’s very isolated. It would be cool to see it in person but that’s very far from everything.

I thought this was funny

Excellent access to freeways and major arteries, with a vast amount of parking nearby.

In all seriousness, this was the conclusion:

In conclusion, the electrospinning of wheat flour is possible from formic acid solutions, after ageing at 32 °C and cooling, forming mats of nanofibers with diameters of 372 (±138) nm. The formed mats are hydrophilic, and ideally positioned as a cheaper, greener replacement for starch in biodegradable, biosourced nanofiber applications, such as next generation bandaging, or carbonized supercapacitor electrodes. Additionally, as the newly developed material consists of fibers formed from the extrusion and drying of flour, it may be defined as pasta, dramatically undercutting the previous record for the thinnest pasta lunga by approximately a thousand times.

Too much for me, I’m out 🏳️

I think they should sell it to me.

Looking forward to it, 2026 feels like a long ways away but I imagine there is lots to do before then

Firefox should be used alone for the fact that it has superior addon support for ad blockers. That’s a real world difference and reason, not just some ideology (as it was it in the past for me).

Agreed! Up till now, it was on par with chrome for functionality / user experience. Moving forward it will be better because it will still have proper ad-blockers

I’m hoping this bit is what they meant

Maybe a collection of browsers, all supporting open web standards, with substantial, though not dominant marketshare is the answer.

Instead of having chrome replaced by some other browser and the cycle repeating, the author might want a fair balance of different browsers eating away at their market share?

I will still recommend Firefox to regular users, and Zen for users that want something new/different (Arc users for example)
