This Raspberry Pi Zero camera instantly prints photos using thermal paper

We’re living in an age where digital photos reign supreme, but that hasn’t stopped maker and developer Spacerower, as they are known as over at Reddit, from creating a Raspberry Pi-powered camera that creates physical photos for you on the spot. This handheld Pi camera was made from the ground up from scratch and features a Raspberry Pi Zero as the main board powering the operation. According to Spacerower, the way it works is simple — although clearly the creation of the camera was far from it. To take a photo, just press the green button one time as a

Wild Video Shows Solar Winds Spiraling Millions of Miles From the Sun

Behold, the piping host particles of solar wind streaming from our Sun, caught in new footage from the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter. The video was captured by the orbiter’s Metis instrument, a coronagraph which blocks light directly from the Sun in order to see fainter phenomena in its outer atmosphere, or corona. New research describing the observations was published today in The Astrophysical Journal. “In this paper, we present observations by Metis during its perihelion passage of a striking helical radial structure that extended from 1.5 to 3 [solar radii] and lasted for more than 3 hr,” the team wrote. “To

I Saw the AI Future of Video Games: It Starts With a Character Hopping Over a Box

At its own GTC AI show in San Jose, California, earlier this month, graphics-chip maker Nvidia unveiled a plethora of partnerships and announcements for its generative AI products and platforms. At the same time, in San Francisco, Nvidia held behind-closed-doors showcases alongside the Game Developers Conference to show game-makers and media how its generative AI technology could augment the video games of the future.  Last year, Nvidia’s GDC 2024 showcase had hands-on demonstrations where I was able to speak with AI-powered nonplayable characters, or NPCs, in pseudo-conversations. They replied to things I typed out, with reasonably contextual responses (though not quite

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE: What we know so far

Foldables are expensive. While costs have dropped considerably since the original Samsung Galaxy Z Flip launched at $1,380 in 2020, the company’s latest model — the Galaxy Z Flip 6 — still starts at $1,099. Plenty of people have been waiting for a cheaper model to try, and Samsung may be about to grant that wish. After denying plans of a cheaper foldable back in 2023, it seems like the company may finally have something very soon indeed, with Samsung seemingly pushing code out to an unreleased model with the code number of SM-F761. This could well be the Samsung
