A 19yo French man who attempted to "bullet climb" Mt. Fuji (climbing overnight w/o resting) had to be rescued. Shizuoka Prefecture requires overnight Fuji climbers to rent huts; the man & his brother booked one, but broke the rules with a 10pm night climb.
We've also written about the general dangers of "bullet climbing" Mt. Fuji and why people do it here:
The next iPad Pro might add a new camera.
In Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, he notes that iOS 26’s public beta is expected next week, and a possible tweak for upcoming M5-powered iPad Pros..
The M4 iPad Pro that launched last year switched the orientation of its front-facing camera for use in landscape mode since many people use it like that or in a laptop-like stand, but the new model could also include a portrait-oriented camera, so video calls look fine no matter which way you’re holding it.

Apple iPad Pro (2024) review: the best kind of overkill
With an M4 chip, a new OLED screen, a thinner and lighter body, and new accessories like the Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard, Apple’s latest tablet is a winner. But iPadOS still holds it back.David Pierce (The Verge)
"Trump's conspiratorial base are hugely and reliably animated by stories about impunity for elite sex predators. As well they should be! Elite sex predators get away with all kinds of crimes -- not just Epstein, but the whole universe of powerful men, from Harvey Weinstein to Donald Trump, who systematically abused women for decades and got away with it -- bragged about it, even!
"But despite these very real abusers, the conspiracists in the Trump base are mostly concerned with _imaginary_ abusers -- Qanon's shadowy cabal of adrenochrome-guzzling pedophiles, tirelessly freighting trafficked children from one nonexistent pizza parlor basement to the next, packed inside of very mid Wayfair home furnishings.… "

Reversing into a no-entry zone to access the parking area
Hi everyone, there's something I often do and I’d like to get your opinion. I see a ‘no entry’ sign, then I move to the right as shown by the red arrow, andBYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
A friend told me about these a while ago and I have finally tracked them down. Fried egg flavoured potato chips!
They really do taste of fried eggs. Eggstrodinary!
Ok so we don't have flying cars in 2025 but this feels like the future.
That was an innocent mistake. As I explained to the people from the RSPCA, I'd heard sunflower seeds were good for treating haemorrhoids and in my discomfort had somehow forgotten to close Mr snuffles cage.
He was completely unharmed (though he never used the tunnel in his cage again).
I thought Jellyfin didn't bring anything new or improve my media center, but wow... Along with a couple of plugins it has become indispensable. Once again, open source software is making its way into people's daily lives.
What are your favourites aspects of jellyfin and fave plugins ?
@frox I have a very large database and I tend to forget what I have, jewels of cinema and tv. Jellyfin helps to prevent that from happening. Plus their interface makes navigation obvious even to my parents and now they can watch what they want and when they want without my help.
