IRZ news, analysis and ideas about Tech.
Madrid's Gregorio Marañón hospital printed a tibia prosthesis whose structure imitates bone mechanics. A year on, the patient walks. The deeper story: a public hospital turned certified device manufacturer.
The Gen. 6+ is repairable module by module, but its US launch exposes another kind of closure: a phone can welcome your screwdriver and still be refused by a network.
AquaLink connects a Tiger-era iBook G4 to a modern SMB3 NAS through libsmb2 and a tiny local WebDAV server. What matters is the method: wiring an abandoned machine back in, kernel untouched.
An Emerson-sponsored essay about the "new era of test" survives fact-checking surprisingly well. Verification really has become engineering's bottleneck, just not for the reasons its Test & Measurement segment sells.
MNT Station turns a Reform laptop motherboard into a desktop or server. Its modularity matters most when it creates a real migration path for hardware that still works.
From 1962 to 1976, IBM's Harvest processed the NSA's most sensitive intercepts through a pipelined stream coprocessor and the world's first automated tape library.
Eden fractures rock with electrical pulses while Vema bets on hot water and catalysts. Both attack the same bottleneck: keeping enough fresh rock in contact with water to sustain useful hydrogen production.
Token relays can be legitimate. But when inference sells far below its cost, the bill has not vanished: it has often been shifted onto another account or product.
SELF packs an ELF program into a valid SQLite database, registers four bytes at offset 68 with binfmt_misc, and runs it. strip becomes a transaction, ldd a JOIN.
With 5.2 LTS, Blender moves hair and cloth into Geometry Nodes: an XPBD solver becomes a graph component, constraints become editable data, and a rigid-body engine borrowed from AAA games is on the horizon.
