One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite can track real-time changes across Earth’s surface from orbit, unhindered by clouds or vegetation that impede optical sensors and higher-frequency radars. Home to some 20 million people, the Mexico City area is built atop an aquifer. Extensive groundwater pumping, combined with the weight of urban development, has resulted in the compaction of the ancient lakebed beneath the city for…

The weight-management drug Wegovy has become widely used and now comes in a convenient pill form — but recently, a study flagged that the popular medication may carry a risk of “eye stroke,” also called ischemic optic neuropathy (ION), which can cause rapid vision loss.But Wegovy users shouldn’t panic, experts told Live Science. For now, the link between the drug and eye stroke is far from confirmed and the overall rate of the condition is extremely low. In the study, published in March in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, ION occurred in less than 1% of patients who reported experiencing…

Let Someone Else Beta Test Windows Update Patches Microsoft are improving your Windows Update experience in four ways, unfortunately none of them are improved testing to ensure they don’t regularly release updates which bork your PC. Instead they will add a new option to the Windows Update screen which lets you pause the installation of Windows Updates to a specific date in the future. This should hopefully ensure that any bad updates are fixed before that date, though one hopes the user can’t just pick a date in 2099 to prevent any updates from ever installing. In addition to pausing Windows…
