At a recent NYU lecture, former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé divulged on a conversation between himself and an Amazon executive. Meeting in the late 2000s, Fils-Aimé says the e-commerce giant attempted to pressure Nintendo to not just burn relationships with other retailers, but outright break the law. “Amazon was looking to get bigger into the video game space,” said Fils-Aimé. “Amazon’s mentality back then is they wanted to have the lowest price out in the marketplace, even lower than Walmart… Essentially what Amazon wanted (was an) obscene amount of support, financial support, so they could have the lowest…

“I would want to see full-scale testing that includes typical residential fires like furniture and mattress fires, cooking fires, electrical fires, and attic or exterior ember exposures,” he added. “It should also cover different conditions like open and closed doors, varying ceiling heights, crosswinds, obstructed fuel packages, and whether the fire comes back after the system shuts off.” Similarly, Michael Gollner, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert in fire dynamics, told Ars there’s simply not enough information yet to show that this technology works better than sprinklers. He pointed to a 2018…

Damelet, CNRS/CCJ Back in 2016, archaeologists discovered a shipwreck from the Roman Republic, the Ilovik–Paržine 1. The wreck has been the subject of much study of the actual ship, enabling scientists to determine it was constructed in what is now Brindisi on Italy’s south-eastern coast. Most recently, analysis of pollen trapped in the ship’s waterproofing layers have yielded insight into repairs made successively in other locations throughout the Adriatic Sea, according to a paper published in the journal…

A new meta-horror game from the creators of Home Safety Hotline is not only the most frightful solitaire yet, it’s the most forbidden. In Forbidden Solitaire, you’ve come into possession of some controversial ‘90s software. A gnarly, gory fantasy card game you recall spooking you as a kid, but never encountering beyond magazine ads. At first…

Whether you’re pro-Daylight Savings or pro-Standard Time, the science is clear: Switching between the two every year is terrible for human health. So why haven’t we stuck with one system all year? The answer is both scientific AND political. In January 1974, clocks across the United States sprang forward, with no intention of ever falling back. The policy was introduced by President Richard Nixon as an energy-saving response to the previous year’s oil crisis. Theoretically, later sunsets would help offset energy usage. A two-year…

Vibe coding just got a whole lot more adorable. OpenAI introduced AI-generated pets to the Codex app, its agentic tool that helps with coding. These “optional animated companions” don’t do any coding themselves, but serve as a floating overlay that can tell you what Codex is working on, notify you when Codex completes a task or whether it needs your input on something. The new feature lets developers see Codex’s active thread, without having to switch away from your current open app. Users can type “/pet” in to the Codex app to summon or dismiss…

For fifty-one weeks out of the year, I’m 100 percent not the CEO of Snap, the company behind Snapchat. That’s Evan Spiegel, the company’s billionaire cofounder. No one in their right mind would question that. But for one week out of the year, specifically last week, some people may have thought I was the social media firm’s top executive. If you looked on Wikipedia, it sure seemed like I was.Starting on Sunday, when you clicked on Spiegel’s Wikipedia page, there was a picture of me. The same thing happened if you ran a Google Search for Evan Spiegel or asked…

After years of announcements, litigation and conspiracies, The Onion has launched their takeover of Infowars. With new ownership, lead hothead Alex Jones has been replaced with comedian Tim Heidecker of Awesome Show, On Cinema and Us fame. While still not through all the legal weeds, The Onion collaborated with the Sandy Hook families to secure the omnipresent conspiracy hub for their own purposes. “I am wearing his (Alex Jones) skin,” said Heidecker in an impersonation that will absolutely ravage his throat over time. “I’ve been wearing his skin now for about two weeks. It is tough skin. It is Texas…

You may be familiar with the various memes detailing the fact that once you reach middle age, you’re automatically sorted, Harry Potter hat–style, into one of a handful of hobbies, such as sourdough bread making, gardening, or bird-watching. I can’t contradict this, since I’m a middle-aged person who got sorted into bird-watching. But I do know that enjoying birds and their various activities is fun for all ages. Birds are beautiful, interesting, and unpredictable, and it’s fascinating to keep a running life list of all the birds you’ve seen and hope to see in your lifetime.Whether someone you know is…
