I Taught Rats to Drive. They Taught Me to Enjoy the Ride | Kelly Lambert | TED
What can happy rats teach us about human joy? Behavioral neuroscientist Kelly Lambert describes how her team trained rats to drive tiny cars to earn treats — and noticed something surprising about how effort and anticipation affect the brain. The experiment opens new questions about how reward, agency and “behaviorceuticals” might help build resilience and…

First Truckload of Antimatter Unlocks New Sci-Fi Possibilities
The BASE experiment at CERN, on the France-Switzerland border, is celebrating the first successful transport of antimatter by truck. The newfound ability to transport antimatter offsite will empower scientists to study it in greater detail without interference from the giant magnets that power CERN’s antimatter factory, possibly unlocking hidden truths about the nature of the…

She is not 100% accurate. Physical media is actually making a comeback. I’m glad I kept all of mine that I own. Own nothing, and you will be owned by these streaming services people. I have never heard of most of these products anyway. And I do not feel as though I am missing out on much.

Should be noted the AppleWatch Blood O2 sensor is only disabled in the United States due to the court case with Masimo. If you buy an Apple Watch anywhere else in the world it still has a fully functional Blood 02 sensor.

Who needs to rip CDs anymore? I do. I literally just got a CD drive this Christmas (yesterday). I used it to rip my CDs that I got at Goodwill and can’t find anywhere online. I then uploaded one of albums to YouTube so that others can hear them, too.

I hate that just about every tech item is obsolete in a year or two. I don’t get updates to the latest iPad o/s on one of mine, and my iPad Air won’t be able to use the Apple AI because it doesn’t have an M cpu. Of course pc’s are obsolete a year after you buy one. Some phones get updates for quite some time, but they are still old hat in a short time. I’m just trying to keep my old iPod Touch 2nd gen that’s almost two decades old going because I love a game app that’s not available anymore. The battery doesn’t last long anymore, but usually long enough for me. Ahhhh…the good old days when you bought a game or app and you owned it, and didn’t have to keep sinking more more money to pay to play, or get extra features in an app. I’m tired of software subscriptions also.

Just this morning I was looking at my Facebook memories, six years ago my mother bought me a Fossil Explorist Q watch, I’m vision impaired so I needed to use the screen reader function on the watch to use it properly. Imagine my anger and frustration when I discovered that Google TalkBack, at the time, only officially worked on a very small number of WearOS devices, the Explorist Q was NOT one of them. I was so disappointed. I did wonder whether Apple had released a version of the TV app for Windows. I’ve just downloaded the Apple Devices and Apple Music apps for Windows as I am an iPhone user.
