Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.
Not a guess. Not a theory.
A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.
Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.
Even when you're just using it as a monitor.
Here's how to turn it off for every brand:
An engineer in Mumbai started building an ebook manager in 2006. Twenty years later, almost 3 million people across 236 countries open it every two months.
His name is Kovid Goyal. The software is called Calibre. He still maintains it as principal developer. The last release shipped a week ago.
It is free. It is GPL-3.0 open source. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Here is what it does in plain words.
You drag an ebook into it. It reads almost every format on Earth. EPUB. MOBI. AZW. AZW3. KFX. PDF. Comics in CBR and CBZ. Word documents. Text files.
You can convert any of those into any other format with two clicks. So the book you bought on Kindle can be read on a Kobo. The PDF your professor sent can be read as an EPUB on your phone. The comic in CBR can be turned into an EPUB.
You can edit the metadata, fix the cover, add tags, organize a library of ten thousand books.
You can send the book to your Kindle, your Kobo, your Tolino, your phone, your tablet straight from the app.
You can run a small content server on your own laptop and read your books on any browser in your house.
24,978 stars on GitHub. 2.9 million active installs in the last 60 days. United States is the biggest user base at 14.8 percent, India is in the top 20, every country on the map has it running somewhere.
This is what your personal library was supposed to look like. A folder of files you own. Not a device that locks you in.

Central Railway’s most prestigious train the Mumbai-Pune Deccan Queen Express completes 96 years on Monday, June 1. Having braved monsoons, carried generations, and outlived empires, the Queen shows no signs of abdicating her throne.

Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.
Water scarcity has long been one of India’s greatest vulnerabilities, and the warning signs are flashing again.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has cautioned about the possibility of drought-like conditions this year, with seasonal rainfall projected at just 90% of the long-period average. More worrying is the 60% probability of deficient rainfall — less than 90% of normal — raising concerns over crop losses, shrinking reservoir levels and potential water shortages in several regions.
As we await the monsoon, this is a reminder that every drop counts. Use water responsibly, avoid wastage, and make conservation a daily habit. What seems abundant today could become scarce tomorrow.

It used to take about 25 seconds to generate a 5-second video on 8 Blackwell GPUs. The legends at @haoailab brought that down to just 4.2 seconds on a single Blackwell GPU… and then open sourced the tech behind it.
