The ISS broadcasts its view live, including footage from cameras inside and outside the station. … While very cool, mishaps with the feed can happen, as evidenced on Wednesday when the public heard audio that sounded particularly concerning. In the audio, which was assumed to be ground control communicating with the ISS, you can hear a doctor advising on a medical emergency with one of the crew who was suffering from decompression sickness.” [// IFLScience »]( [/digital] [Squarespace - Build a website that *actually* looks good [Partner]]( [Build a website that *actually* looks good]( Let’s be honest: Most DIY websites look like they were built during a caffeine-fueled all-nighter.

They’re all screwy. But they don’t last forever. Some don’t really even get a chance to start. In many places both fun and funds run dry, leaving behind a unique kind of abandoned space, where you can almost hear the laughter and the screams in an uninhabited ruin. … From a forlorn waterpark baked by desert heat to a Western-themed attraction left to rot in Japan, here are some of our most interesting abandoned amusement parks.” [// Atlas Obscura »]( [/game] [New updates just made the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S a little better | Kotaku]( [New updates just made the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S a little better]( “The PlayStation 5 is finally getting direct Discord integration and other improvements, while the Xbox Series X/S address dynamic background and Wi-Fi password frustrations. This is the lowkey console UX war we love to see. … For Xbox Series X/S, the changes include an update for dynamic backgrounds … and the addition of 10 stored Wi-Fi connections. But my favorite new feature is the ability to manage your subscriptions directly from the settings menus.

Typically, the lifespan of one goes something like this: Someone gets bored with their feeds, so they create a new social media platform to fill a void. Then either: a) it falls flat, b) it's a good idea, and a larger social media platform buys it, takes the idea, and sells the rest for parts, or c) it's successful. … We haven't seen as many new apps this year, but plenty of apps have gained considerable popularity, worming their way into our collective consciousness and, worse, onto our phones.” [// Mashable »]( [/bites] [// Your Mac’s current PDF reader ain’t got nothing on this one.
