Leica Camera AG has introduced the Leica SL3 Reporter, a rugged version of its SL3 full-frame mirrorless camera made for professionals who work in tough conditions.

The material also protects the body from abrasions and weather exposure. Over time, the trim develops a patina that gives each camera a unique look. The red Leica logo has been removed for a more low-profile appearance suited for field photography. Inside, the camera uses a 60-megapixel full-frame BSI CMOS sensor…

What’s the darkest place in the solar system and, on a grander scale, the universe?In short, the answer isn’t straightforward, and it depends on whom you ask, experts told Live Science.True darkness, the blackest black, is surprisingly rare and hard to pinpoint. This is because there is a lot of dust in the cosmos: Dust scatters light, making space glow far beyond stars, Marc Postman, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore,…
Ford, too, is creating a battery plant to make prismatic LFP cells for future EVs. The site in Marshall, Michigan, has attracted political opposition amid controversy over Ford’s decision to license intellectual property for those cells from CATL, China’s largest battery company. Ford pushed back on the criticism, arguing that America needs LFP batteries to lower EV costs and “reshore” a technology initially invented in the US. GM, meanwhile, says the IP in its LFP cells is fully owned by the two Ultium partners, LG and itself.So far, Hyundai-Kia has not said it will offer LFP cells in any of…

A common misconception about location spoofing on smartphones is that the best way to do it is by using a VPN. Reroute your connection through a server in Tokyo, and you’ll suddenly have access to exclusive anime available only in Japan. I’ve been playing with it these past few days, and it actually did a pretty good job at spoofing my location. In a matter of seconds, I appeared in different places across the US and Mexico. Even the phone’s time changed according to the corresponding time zone.Spoofing your location the smart wayLocaChange works by simulating your device’s GPS location…

Social commerce—or shopping through platforms like TikTok and Instagram—hasn’t been a smash hit in the US, in part due to ongoing distrust of tech giants among consumers and big retailers.

A 40,000-year-old juvenile woolly mammoth named Yuka is not only remarkable because she was uncovered nearly intact or her grisly cause of death.
