How to beat extreme summer heat without air conditioning, per heat researcher

A heat researcher who grew up in a hot, air-conditioning-free environment shares practical advice for coping with extreme summer temperatures. Key tips include keeping curtains and blinds closed during the day, ventilating rooms at night, applying wet cloths to wrists and neck, avoiding physical activity at peak heat, and staying well hydrated. Cooling the bedroom before sleep and using a fan with cold water can also help significantly.

Should air conditioning be a standard feature in every home?

Who are the Brood and how do they connect to Wolverine in X-Men '97?

Episode 5 of X-Men '97, titled "Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs", follows Wolverine as he leads a team of former Weapon X test subjects to a facility to kill Doctor Cornelius, the scientist who gave him his adamantium skeleton. Instead, the group encounters something even more dangerous — the Brood. The episode follows a cliffhanger in Episode 4 where Captain America and Black Widow hand Wolverine a file on the Weapon X programme.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor coming to Steam and GOG after 25 years

Publisher SNEG is bringing classic PC RPGs back to modern storefronts, including Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, a 2001 title that competed with Baldur's Gate 2. The game was notorious not only for its gameplay but for a catastrophic uninstaller bug that could damage the Windows operating system. It is heading to Steam and GOG after 25 years.

Do classic early-2000s RPGs deserve a comeback on modern platforms?

Giant orbital mirrors could beam sunlight to Earth at night

Scientists and engineers are exploring the idea of placing giant mirrors in Earth's orbit to reflect sunlight onto specific locations on the planet — even in the middle of the night. Potential applications include illuminating cities or disaster-struck areas. The concept is currently still at a conceptual stage, with no confirmed launch plans.

Is illuminating Earth at night with orbital mirrors a good idea?

Binance builds a financial super-app as crypto venues evolve into operating systems

Major crypto exchanges, led by Binance, are evolving beyond trading platforms into comprehensive financial ecosystems modelled on super-apps. Core trading metrics — pricing, market depth, latency and fees — are converging across the top platforms, making it harder to differentiate on execution alone. Binance and its rivals are therefore expanding their service ecosystems to retain and attract users.

Is turning crypto exchanges into financial super-apps good for the industry?
