Scents From 3,500 Years Ago Recreated to Give Museum Visitors a Whiff of History
Scents from the past are being recreated using state of the art technology to give museum visitors a whiff of Egyptian history.

Fascinating bit of trivia about "My Sharona"
https://www.musicradar.com/artists/it-was-

“It was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat. I fell in love with her instantly. And when that happened, it sparked something”: The new wave classic and No.1 hit that was written in one hour and recorded in one take
“I still make a very good living off of that one song - easily over $100,000 a year"

Maybe ask them why they haven’t supported our work on the Small Web with a single euro cent all these years.
(It doesn’t matter. The Small Web launches to a wider audience this year regard…

Recent #Mastodon releases have introduced new features, at the cost of growing web UI clutter. I hate the additional clicks required for the most common actions, but perhaps it's an acceptable cost?

Weltraumteleskop James Webb: Neuer Rekord bei am weitesten entfernten Galaxien
Seit Jahren findet das Weltraumteleskop James Webb Überraschungen im frühen Kosmos. Nun hat es die Grenze des beobachtbaren Universums erneut verschoben.

Much lower energy fast chips:
"Scientists from the University of Warwick and the National Research Council of Canada have reported the highest "hole mobility" ever measured in a material that works within today's silicon-based semiconductor manufacturing...
This achievement also represents a significant accomplishment for Warwick's Semiconductors Research Group and highlights the UK's growing influence in advanced semiconductor materials research."…

A 1950s material just set a modern record for lightning-fast chips
Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible material to date. This record mobility could lead to chips that run cooler, faster, and with dramatically lower energy consumption. The discovery also enhances the prospects for silicon-based quantum devices.

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.
Try it out: #lifeLog #app #memoryAid

I think I’m more offended it attributes a metaphor to me that I can find no record of me saying or writing.

FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled
Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.
