Researchers think they may have found a way to reverse “lazy eye,” even in adults who’ve typically had the condition since childhood.The technique has so far been tested only in animals, though, so it needs further study before it can be used in human patients.A lazy eye, or amblyopia, develops when the brain favors one eye over the other in early childhood, causing vision in the less-favored eye to decline. The standard treatment involves placing a patch over the stronger eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker one. However, this method is effective only during infancy and…

I was running around somewhere in Golden Ridge, The Outer Worlds 2’s second major location, when I dared to look up a question that had been tickling the back of my brain for several hours: Does The Outer Worlds 2 have an inventory carry capacity limit? I was afraid to learn the answer. The odds that it was what I wanted to hear were not in my favor. What I wanted is practically unheard of in Western-style action role-playing games. But there were encouraging signs from the first dozen or so hours of my initial playthrough that this time might…
Roskomnadzor, Russia’s federal agency for monitoring and censoring mass media, has blocked access to Snapchat and FaceTime in the country, Bloomberg reports, citing Russian news service Interfax. The bans were reportedly put in place because the platforms were used “to organize and carry out terrorist acts,” and commit fraud.It’s not clear if either service is still accessible by using a VPN, but banning Snapchat and FaceTime fits with Russia’s crackdown on communication and social platforms that started after the country’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Facebook and X were blocked in March of that year, and Instagram was added to…

You get into your modern car, close the door, and suddenly… Quiet. You can actually HEAR the silence—total tranquility. The entire world is quiet for you. You can barely hear the engine, and the cabin feels sealed off. The road under you might as well be wrapped in velvet. Then the speedometer brings you back into reality because it shows that you’re going way faster than you thought you were. Isn’t it weird? It’s like your senses are a step behind the car. You’re not careless, and you don’t have bad driving habits; this is just how modern cars are…

Amazon is reportedly considering discontinuing use of the US Postal Service and building out its own shipping network to rival it, according to The Washington Post. The e-commerce behemoth spends more than $6 billion a year on the public mail carrier, representing just shy of 8 percent of the service’s total revenues.

Amazon provided Engadget with the following statement regarding…
