FCC moves to retroactively ban DJI gadgets sold through front companies

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is preparing to use its retroactive ban powers for the first time, targeting suspected "DJI front companies" that allegedly circumvented import restrictions by disguising the Chinese origin of their products. The FCC granted itself these retroactive powers in October last year. The move would revoke import and sales approval for devices already on the US market.

Should the FCC have the power to retroactively ban already-approved gadgets?

Banks win 80% of free-credit-sanction cases following TSUE ruling

Since the EU Court of Justice (TSUE) ruling in April, around 6,600 complaints related to the free credit sanction (SKD) have been filed against banks in Poland. Courts have issued roughly 1,500 verdicts, with nearly 80% favouring the banking sector, according to Polish Bank Association deputy president Agnieszka Wachnicka. Banks will nonetheless need to adjust their interest income as contracts are brought in line with the TSUE interpretation.

Are banks right to win the majority of free-credit-sanction disputes?

Fan converted a Mazda MX-5 into a Cyberpunk 2077 car – complete with cyberdeck inside

A Cyberpunk 2077 fan converted a Mazda MX-5 into a real-world car inspired by the game's Night City aesthetic. The vehicle features neon details and a cyberpunk-themed exterior, while the interior includes a prop styled as an in-game "cyberdeck." The build was documented in a series of videos and quickly attracted online attention.

Do fan builds like this enrich gaming culture?

Endurance sports can make you a better researcher, scientists say

A piece published in Nature outlines seven lessons from endurance sports that can improve a researcher's work in the lab. One key tip is the "24-hour rule" — waiting a full day before reacting to a setback or failure. The author argues that mental strategies honed through sport translate directly into better scientific practice.

Should endurance sports be part of scientific researcher training?

Heavy TV watching in midlife linked to smaller brain regions decades later

A study of around 1,700 adults found that frequent TV viewers in midlife later showed smaller brain regions linked to memory, decision-making and visual processing, as well as greater white matter damage. Crucially, sedentary behaviour alone was not the main driver — people who sat for long hours in mentally engaging jobs showed healthier brain patterns. The findings suggest it is passive, mentally unstimulating screen time that poses the greatest risk.

Should limiting TV in midlife become an official public health recommendation?

Polish tourists on all-inclusive holidays: "They thought they'd bought the staff"

Agnieszka, who worked as an entertainer at five-star hotels in Turkey, Egypt and Greece, describes the behaviour of Polish tourists on all-inclusive holidays. Some arrived drunk, queued for free alcohol before even getting their room key, and treated staff as though they had purchased them. The phenomenon was notable among wealthier guests who felt entitled to everything included in their package.

Ukraine in political crisis as protests over defence minister Fedorov's dismissal enter day five

Street protests continued for a fifth consecutive day in Ukraine on July 19, following the dismissal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. The 35-year-old minister, credited by many young Ukrainians with innovative drone tactics that boosted battlefield performance, was fired after repeated clashes with Army chief General Oleksandr Syrsky. President Volodymyr Zelensky is now working to defuse the political crisis and restore unity to the military.

Was Zelensky right to dismiss Defence Minister Fedorov?

Aztec upgrades to V5, adding private execution to decentralised Ethereum L2

Aztec Network has released its V5 alpha upgrade, centred on "client-side proving" — enabling computationally intensive zero-knowledge proofs to run on everyday devices like phones and laptops. The update adds a full private execution environment to Aztec's decentralised Ethereum Layer 2 network. The move aims to bring stronger transaction privacy without relying on centralised infrastructure.

Will private execution environments on L2 networks genuinely improve crypto user security?

Sabbatical leave: the middle-class dream that comes with real sacrifices

A growing number of Polish middle-class workers are taking sabbaticals — multi-month breaks from work to rest and rethink their careers. Anna took one after 14 years of intense work, despite her family's bewilderment. Those who have done it say the break demands real financial and social sacrifices.

Is taking a multi-month sabbatical a good career decision?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Can Wolfram's computational theory explain the origin of the universe?
