What Are Your Partner's Grossest Habits?
We all have some gross personal habits, if we’re honest enough to admit them. We may smack our gum, or belch when (we think) no one’s listening; we may even dig for nasal gold once in a while when the winter crusties are upon us and a tissue just won’t cut it. But nothing—nothing—can come close to the gross habits of…

Make the Twisty TikTok Bacon in Your Air Fryer
I have never believed there is a “best way” to cook any particular food. I have my favorites, and recognize that some techniques are more effective than others, but there is no one, perfect way to fry an egg. (There are at least eight.)

PS4 and PS5 users can show Discord friends what they're playing
Starting today, PS4 and PS5 players can connect their PSN account to Discord. At the outset, that means you’ll be able to display your PlayStation game activity on your Discord profile and let friends there see what you’re playing — something Xbox players have been able to do since 2018. If you like, you can display your PSN ID on your Discord profile to make it easy for folks to add you as a friend there.
To get started, open the Discord app or website on PC or mobile, then go to the Connections section of the User Settings. If you can connect your PSN account, you’ll see a PlayStation icon. Discord is gradually rolling out the feature to everyone, starting with folks in the US, so you might not have access right away.
These are useful features, especially with crossplay becoming more commonplace and friends playing games together on different platforms. If you’re an Xbox owner, for instance, you’d be able to hop on Discord and see if your friends are playing Destiny 2 or Rainbow Six Extraction on PC or PlayStation, and hop in to play with them.
Discord
We’re starting to see the results of a partnership Sony and Discord announced last May. “Our goal is to bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile starting early next year, allowing friends, groups, and communities to hang out, have fun, and communicate more easily while playing games together,” Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said at the time. SIE also made a minority investment in the messaging and voice and video chat platform.
Microsoft was previously said to be in talks to buy Discord for at least $10 billion. Though other potential suitors were reportedly interested, Discord remains an independent company. Still, with so many enormousgamingdeals being agreed already this year, who knows what the future holds?
In the meantime, Discord and Sony are looking at other ways to collaborate. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with PlayStation and explore how we can collectively create great shared experiences for your friends and communities,” Discord wrote in a blog post.

Astrophysicists Found 1,000 Magnetic Milky Way ‘Strands’
A new mosaic image taken by the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa has revealed nearly 1,000 multi-light-year-long electron strands at the center of the Milky Way. The strands are huge streaks of cosmic ray particles; though they were discovered nearly 40 years ago, researchers never knew there were so many.

How to determine OS of the remote host
When performing digital reconnaissance or penetrating testing, it’s important to fingerprint a network by understanding what operating system is used on a remote a host. Nmap is a great tool for this job. Although normally associated with the cybersecurity field and penetration testing, Nmap can also be used for benevolent purposes, such as a system administrator taking an inventory of what operating systems all the systems on his network are running.

Surprise eruptions are Earth’s overlooked threat
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai erupted on January 15 in one of the largest volcanic events in decades, and research in recent years indicates that the volcano produces similar violent eruptions about once every millennium. But some of the deadliest and most explosive eruptions in the last two centuries have come from volcanoes with no historical record of eruption. Now, scientists are taking a fresh look at surprise eruptions and seemingly quiet volcanoes.
Several smaller eruptions have happened at Tonga over the last century, providing some clues for what to expect. But forecasting volcanoes that have been dormant for hundreds or thousands of years is especially challenging. Mount Lamington in Papua New Guinea, for example, killed nearly 3,000 people and displaced thousands more when it erupted for the first time in recorded history in 1951.
“If this were to happen right now, in a region that is highly populated, like, for example, Indonesia or the Philippines, where millions of people live around volcanoes, the consequences for life would be really high,” said Vanesa Burgos, a PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Ampere Is Big But NVIDIA's GH100 Hopper Could Be The Biggest GPU Ever By Far
NVIDIA sells a huge parallel processor called A100. This is based on a gigantic Ampere-architecture processor called GA100, an 826 mm² chip. That makes it expensive to manufacture and power-thirsty to operate, but by all accounts it delivers on performance. It’s actually the second of such massive monolithic processors from the company, with

A Reminder Why George Lucas Loved the Star Wars Special Editions
Even after it became the highest-grossing film of all time, George Lucas still wasn’t completely satisfied with Star Wars. Sure, the filmmaker obviously was happy with much of what’s on screen, but the visuals and scope he had in his mind in when he made the movie in the 1970s didn’t line up with the final product. He…
