Kulagin and his business partner, Pavel Zhovner, first came up with the idea for Flipper Zero in 2019. Since then, their company has sold 150,000 devices and they’ve grown their team to nearly 50 people. But as they’ve grown, they’ve encountered some resistance. This summer, payments of more than $1.3 million were held up by PayPal, and in September, US Customs and Border Patrol seized a shipment of devices. According to Kulagin, CBP released the shipment after a month but has yet to tell the company why it held the shipment. CBP declined WIRED’s request to comment about the seized Flipper…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Staying Broken (Single Dads Club)? All of my books come from me so the stories ALWAYS have bits of actual events that I have been a part of sprinkled throughout. I have a lot of friends and many of them happen to be single parents or have been single parents for a time. I thought it would be fun to write a series about a Single Dads Group who kind of help each other navigate that world. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your…
The trend of canceling projects in production continues to haunt fans of content providers in the U.S. According to Variety, the embattled AMC has canceled 61st Street Season 2 and Invitation to a Bonfire. The cancellations come as AMC is in belt-tightening mode, much like several other companies. The news for 61st Street comes after production on the second season is completed, which is even more aggravating for fans of the series who invested time in the first season. As you will likely recall, the drama series was picked up for two seasons when it landed a formal order in…
Wearable fitness devices offer new insights into the relationship between physical activity and type 2 diabetes, according to a new analysis of the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program data published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, affecting 90% to 95% of people with diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the body is resistant to the action of insulin, meaning it cannot use insulin properly, so it cannot carry sugar into the cells. Type 2 diabetes most often develops in people over age…

Scientists once thought bigger brains made smarter animals. But birds fly in the face of that logic: with a brain smaller than a walnut, they can develop sophisticated tools and remember where they hid food. Now research published in Current Biology suggests birds can pull this off because their brain neurons use less energy than those of mammals, letting their bodies support a higher proportion of these cells. A 2016 study showed that avian brains are denser than those of many other animals. For example, a macaw’s 20-gram brain holds as many neurons as a squirrel monkey’s 30-gram brain. But…
Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday said that over 97 percent of mobile phones used in India are made in the country itself. The minister made the remarks while speaking at the event CyFY 2022, organised by Observer Research Foundation (ORF).”In 2014, over 92 percent of mobile phones used in India were imported, today over 97 percent of mobile phones used in India are made in India. Today we export electronic devices worth $12 billion (roughly Rs. 98,800 crore),” Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.He further said that the new data protection bill will be “very simple…

It’s the top-grossing movie of 2022, both in the U.S. and worldwide. It’s on our list of the best movies of the year. It’s Top Gun: Maverick, the shockingly successful sequel to the era defining action film of the 1980s.Much of Top Gun: Maverick’s success this year is due to the fact that it was billed as a theatrical event. The movie’s mind-boggling visuals were shot for the big screen, and best appreciated there. The box-office numbers ($718 million in the United States and $1.48 billion worldwide) prove that audiences agreed.But now, finally, Top Gun: Maverick is available on streaming, specifically on Paramount+. How…
Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting — who both starred in 1968’s Romeo and Juliet when they were 15 and 16, respectively — have sued Paramount Pictures for more than $500 million. The suit, filed Tuesday in the L.A. County Superior Court, alleges sexual abuse, harassment, and fraud. It comes as a result of the circumstances surrounding the film’s nude scene. Initially, director Franco Zeffirelli told the two teen stars they’d only be required to wear flesh-toned underwear for the scene, but the underwear changed to body makeup, and then finally to a promise that the camera would be positioned in…
New York construction sites are dangerous, especially in the Law & Order universe. Law & Order Season 22 Episode 10 offered an investigation into a homeless man’s death that led to a major cover-up on a construction site — and it wasn’t even the same construction site death that Stabler has been investigating on Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 3! It’s a shame the writers skipped this crossover opportunity, but the story they did tell was compelling despite a somewhat predictable ending. This story touched upon the class war between the rich and powerful and the homeless community, but…
By Grace Wade Alzheimer’s disease may be caused by the accumulation of protein plaques and tangles in the brainAndrew Brookes A drug called lecanemab is the first treatment that has been shown to slow cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer’s disease. It also decreases plaques and tangles in the brain that are thought to drive the condition’s progression. While it may sound promising, some question whether these effects are substantial enough to have a meaningful impact on Alzheimer’s symptoms. Potential concerns have also been raised about the drug’s safety. During an 18-month study made up of almost 1800 people…
MONTH OF JanuaryYou may be the steady Bull of the zodiac, but you always start the year eager to charge headlong into your visionary goals and dreams. That’s because January is Capricorn season, when the Sun is traveling through your inspired ninth house of growth, risk and expansion. Instead of being methodical, you get swept up in starry-eyed “sky’s the limit” energy—and we love to see you like this, Taurus!This year, however, this lucky solar cycle (which lasts until January 20) will be speed-checked by communication planet Mercury, who’s in a signal-scrambling retrograde until January 18. Capture all of those…
For a few weeks this summer, the world worried that monkeypox might become the next global pandemic. At the peak in early August the US was recording 600 cases a day, and the health authorities’ fumbling response echoed the early days of Covid-19. Vaccines were slow to arrive and in short supply for most of the fall. Testing was bottlenecked. Antiviral drugs, though they existed, were almost unobtainable because they hadn’t been federally authorized for the disease. While most cases were among gay and bisexual men, there were fears that the rarely fatal but often extremely painful infection, which can can take…
Rock legend Elton John has announced that he will no longer use Twitter because of the social media service’s “change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.”Since business magnate Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October, hate speech has seen an unprecedented rise on the platform, according to The New York Times. But John’s statement seems to reference a more recent change to Twitter — as of Nov. 23, the website said it would no longer enforce its COVID-19 disinformation policy, according to Fox News.”All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together,” John tweeted on Friday (Dec. 9).…
Some fans believe that Thor: Love and Thunder was the movie that broke Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We here at ScreenCrush wouldn’t go that far. (Come on, guys, let’s be honest: Eternals did that!) But we would definitely agree that it was one of the weaker Marvel films of this run, and that it was way less successful than Thor: Ragnarok, which was made by the same writer/director, and had much the same cast.So what went wrong? To answer that question, look to an unexpected source: The Muppet Christmas Carol. This holiday favorite is very different from Thor: Love and Thunder, but…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Few Murders in My Neighborhood? I’ve made a wonderful living in Hollywood as a screenwriter/producer. Yet when my favorite (and most optioned) screenplay A Few Murders in the Neighborhood never became a film — I decided to take the bull by the horns and wrestle it into a NOVEL. Wasn’t easy but I’d had a little practice with my very first screenplay, which did become a film, A Different Story, and Ballantine Books asked me to turn it into a novel. If you had to pick theme songs…
Nothing is more disappointing than when a show we used to hold in such high regard diminishes in quality and appeal. Unfortunately, plenty of series fit the bill in 2022; if nothing else, they gave us something to complain about and discuss.

And we’ve compiled a list of series that fell from grace in 2022. Check out this potentially controversial list and share your thoughts below! The Flight Attendant – HBO Max It’s an…
Superconductivity, fractional charges and magnetic vortices are just some of the weird quantum phenomena lurking in materials like graphene when they get skewed Physics 30 November 2022 , updated 1 December 2022 By Philip Ball Marcus Marritt IT WAS March 2018. The atmosphere at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the Los Angeles Convention Center was highly charged.

The modern world has ruined my brain. I’m in constant need of stimulation, watching TV and scrolling TikTok at the same time, or playing Tetris while mentally adding all of Jenna Ortega’s outfits in Wednesday to my cart. I know. I need help. I’m not quite the adult equivalent of an iPad kid. At least, I can still put my phone away while in the presence of other people. But couple my phone addiction with a job spent writing on a computer screen, and my skull and eyes have started to revolt. I’m plagued by eye fatigue and pounding headaches, the…
Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin are back to celebrate the fifth night of Hanukkah, and this time around, they’ve teamed up with Beck to perform his 2005 track “E-Pro.” The performance was recorded in front of a live audience at the Largo in Los Angeles earlier this month for the third annual edition of Grohl and Kurstin’s The Hanukkah Sessions, which celebrates the religious festival with covers of songs by Jewish musicians.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer has opened up about the status of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, which is one of his most successful movie franchises. He revealed that they’re still developing two Pirates of the Caribbean movies: one of which is a project involving a younger cast, while the other one is the Margot Robbie-led project that was previously thought to be canceled. “We have a very good script,” Bruckheimer shared. “We developed two of them — the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one…
The first global analysis of larval orientation studies found that millimeter-size fish babies consistently use external cues to find their way in the open ocean. There are many external cues available to marine fish including the Sun, Earth’s magnetic field, and sounds. The new study, led by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science offers important insight into understanding this perilous phase of marine fish. Understanding the mechanisms that fish larvae use during their pelagic journey is critical for scientists to better predict their dispersal, the connectivity of marine protected areas, and the…
Brené Brown, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and Dare to Lead, has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy as a research professor at the University of Houston. And now she has entered into a new endeavor, “Unlocking Us,” a podcast featuring “conversations that unlock the deeply human part of who we are, so we can live, love, parent, and lead with more courage and heart.” Brown’s message is one of self-acceptance and authenticity, living and being unapologetically in the world.

Sometimes people develop ailments so mysterious they baffle doctors. These medical cases can make scientists question everything they thought they knew about the human body and the diseases that afflict it. These 10 reports published in 2022 chronicle a variety of odd — and often disconcerting — medical cases so unique that doctors felt compelled to share them with the medical field at large. 1.
