Real-time crime centers are transforming policing. Here’s why they’re controversial

In 2021, a driver in Albuquerque, New Mexico, ran a red light, striking and killing a 7-year-old and injuring his father. The suspect fled the scene and eventually escaped to Mexico.

iMovie for everyone: This free video editor runs in your browser

A good private video editor is hard to find—especially when you want it to work across all of your devices. Yes, there are lots of decent video editors, including Microsoft’s Clipchamp tool and Apple’s iMovie app. But Clipchamp is one of many modern video-editing tools that requires you to sign in with an account and upload your videos to a company’s servers. And iMovie, of course, is limited to working only on Apple’s own products.

The Google TV Streamer makes Apple TV look dated

I’ve long been a fan of the Apple TV (Apple’s digital media player set-top, box–not to be confused with the Apple TV Plus streaming service or the frustrating Apple TV app). Thanks in large part to the set-top box’s operating system, tvOS, the Apple TV has, in my opinion, always

Napínavý výzkum paměti: Mozek si ukládá tři kopie každé vzpomínky

Švýcarští neurovědci sledovali mozky laboratorních myší, v němž se utvářely nové vzpomínky. Jak se zdá, při ukládání každé vzpomínky se nezávisle zapojují tři skupiny neuronů, které vznikají v různou dobu zárodečného vývoje. Povaha těchto tří kopií se navzájem liší. Jak to asi funguje u lidí? http://www.osel.cz/13615-napinavy-vyzkum-pameti-mozek-si-uklada-tri-kopie-kazde-vzpominky.html

This TikTok creator is showing that opting out of TSA face scans isn’t always easy

When you show your ID to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) worker at airport security, there’s a good chance a camera will automatically photograph your face to match it with the picture on your ID. But travelers trade away their privacy in exchange for a little less time at security, tech privacy activists say. The TSA says opting out of the face scan is easy, but one TikTok creator has shown that’s not always the case.
