Hi, how to check if One-Click-Hoster download links are online/offline without jdownloader? Any tool or website?

Thanks for any help 😀

I wish they linked a source on this, but overall seems like a breakthrough.

Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke filled labs with a way to stop chips from going pear-shaped during manufacture by literally freezing the process mid-flow.

According to researchers at Peking University, Tsinghua, and HKU, the new method can slash lithography defects by a 99 per cent.

One of the trickiest bits of making semiconductors is photolithography, where light is used to “print” circuits onto silicon wafers. It’s rather like developing a microscopic photograph, except it costs billions and breaks more often.

The process involves spreading a photoresist, a light-sensitive goo, over the wafer. Ultraviolet light then shines through a mask that carries the circuit pattern, and the exposed material is chemically developed so some bits dissolve while others stay put. What remains forms the stencil for the later steps, like etching the metal or silicon layers.

That’s all well and good until the photoresist starts misbehaving. During development, dissolved material sometimes clumps together into microscopic particles that can stick back onto the wafer. At five-nanometre or smaller nodes, even a 30-nanometre blob can ruin a circuit.

This month, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine archived its trillionth webpage, and the nonprofit invited its more than 1,200 library partners and 800,000 daily users to join a celebration of the moment. To honor “three decades of safeguarding the world’s online heritage,” the city of San Francisco declared October 22 to be “Internet Archive Day.” The Archive was also recently designated a federal depository library by Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who proclaimed the organization a “perfect fit” to expand “access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape.”

The Internet Archive might sound like a thriving organization, but it only recently emerged from years of bruising copyright battles that threatened to bankrupt the beloved library project. In the end, the fight led to more than 500,000 books being removed from the Archive’s “Open Library.”

“We survived,” Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle told Ars. “But it wiped out the Library.”

An Internet Archive spokesperson confirmed to Ars that the archive currently faces no major lawsuits and no active threats to its collections. Kahle thinks “the world became stupider” when the Open Library was gutted—but he’s moving forward with new ideas.

Hello 3d printing community! I'm a complete newb and I am planning on doing a lot of 3d printing in the coming months.

I wanted to get into 3d printing with the intention of designing a lot of models and printing them for use around the house. So, I wanted to ask what people typically use for designing their own models to print?

Ideally the software would support both Windows and Mac as that's what I typically use these days. Let me know, thanks!

You may be disappointed if you go looking for Google’s open Gemma AI model in AI Studio today. Google announced late on Friday that it was pulling Gemma from the platform, but it was vague about the reasoning. The abrupt change appears to be tied to a letter from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who claims the Gemma model generated false accusations of sexual misconduct against her.

Blackburn published her letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday, just hours before the company announced the change to Gemma availability. She demanded Google explain how the model could fail in this way, tying the situation to ongoing hearings that accuse Google and others of creating bots that defame conservatives.

At the hearing, Google’s Markham Erickson explained that AI hallucinations are a widespread and known issue in generative AI, and Google does the best it can to mitigate the impact of such mistakes. Although no AI firm has managed to eliminate hallucinations, Google’s Gemini for Home has been particularly hallucination-happy in our testing.

Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in a cash and stock deal worth about $48.7 billion, creating a massive consumer health goods company.

Shareholders of Kimberly-Clark will own about 54% of the combined company. Kenvue shareholders will own about 46% in what is one of the largest corporate takeovers this year.

The combined company will have a huge stable of household brands under one roof, putting Kenvue’s Listerine mouthwash and Band-Aid side-by-side with Kimberly-Clark’s Cottonelle toilet paper, Huggies and Kleenex tissues...

Steven Palmer, who had worked at the bureau since 1998, was fired as head of the FBI’s critical incident response group which is responsible for handling major security threats as well as overseeing the agency’s fleet of jets. He was the third head of the unit to be dismissed since Patel became the second Trump administration’s FBI director in February.

Bloomberg Law, which broke the story, said that three unnamed sources had expressed astonishment at the sacking given that Patel’s flight schedules were fully public and trackable on websites. A day after her performance, Patel himself had reposted photos showing him together with his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, on his X account.

According to Bloomberg, Patel had become furious over stories published after the event about his use of the FBI jet to go on the date with Wilkins. Soon after, Palmer had been told he could resign instantly or be fired.

The dismissal was made official on Friday.

Human-rights attorneys in Chicago say they cannot account for more than 3,000 people arrested during a federal immigration crackdown known as "Operation Midway Blitz," raising concerns about due process, transparency, and possible coerced departures.

Immigration and Border Patrol officers have arrested more than 3,000 people who authorities say were in the U.S. illegally and in some cases wanted for serious crimes, all in the seven weeks since feds intensified their efforts in the state.

Attorneys consulted by NBC Chicago, however, say federal authorities have refused — or are unable — to disclose where many of those detainees are being held or whether they have already been deported.

"It is quite dire," said Mark Fleming of the National Immigrant Justice Center, which is suing federal authorities. "These are folks that have been here for decades, have long standing ties to the community, family members, employment, businesses that are all being torn apart."

Genitori, dal 2012 a oggi è cambiato molto: i baby food hanno limiti più severi su pesticidi, metalli e micotossine, controlli costanti e standard vicini allo “zero analitico”. Ma una cosa non è cambiata: il marketing confonde. Il nostro vademecum serve a scegliere senza paura né sprechi.

Cosa guardare? Non il packaging, ma l’etichetta: cercate la dicitura “Alimento per la prima infanzia” o “specificamente formulato per… mesi/anni”. Solo così scattano le norme più rigide. Verificate la fascia d’età, ingredienti semplici, zuccheri aggiunti assenti o minimi, sale basso, niente aromi superflui. Diffidate dei “per tutta la famiglia” quando servono a bimbi di 6–12 mesi.

E il fatto in casa? Resta un alleato: materie prime di qualità, sapori veri, meno sale e zucchero. L’industriale oggi è più sicuro, ma non sostituisce educazione al gusto e buon senso.
