Astronomers have captured a spectacular image of a dead star moving across space, trailing a luminous bow shock that defies mathematical predictions. A white dwarf known as RXJ0528+2838 is located 730 light years away from us. It is a compact remnant that is what remains of a sun-type star after it has run out of fuel and lost its outer layers.

The ArcadeBoy is the realization of a childhood fantasy, or, more accurately, a full-fledged Nintendo Game Boy driving a proper arcade cabinet sitting on your desk. Chris Fletcher, an engineer, worked for years to make that notion a reality. It all began in 2019 when he was experimenting with early test circuits at his desk, lighting up an original Game Boy motherboard to send the visual signal through an FPGA and onto a larger screen.

The most obvious feature is a significant improvement to the Ingredients to Video tool.

US prisons currently use Android tablets granted by the correctional institution as an upgrade from the gloomy electronics offered in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. Back then, convicts had a limited number of options, including shared payphones, a small portable radio, or, if they were lucky and had a few dollars, a Walkman, and possibly a few tapes or CDs if their funds were sufficient. Tablets are now primarily supplied by two major providers: Securus Technologies (by its subsidiary JPay) and ViaPath Technologies (after GTL). Jpay models, such as the JP6S, are currently dominating a lot of states; these devices run a closed down version of Android, which is often Android 8.1 these days.
