Got one for my kid, as well as a neon bright case so it would stand out. He's on his second case and third screen protector. The case cracked and chipped on the corners, and all protectors ended up with spiderweb cracks. He's due for another protector.

The phone is still fine.

Have had good luck with electronic traps. Caught mice and a couple of rats that were hanging around our driveway and chewing up car cables.

I got one with wifi that sends a message when it caught something. Good for out of the way spots. Trap with peanut butter. For deterrence, ended up spraying the area with capsicum pepper spray.

Given that 50% of the time, the generated code is unworkable garbage, having an AI automatically write code to create new training models will either solve all problems, or spontaneously combust into a pile of ash.

My money's on the latter.

La Femme Nikita (original French), Alien, and Terminator 2 all had seriously kick-ass female leads.

Fragments of a rare Merlin manuscript from c. 1300 have been discovered and digitised in a ground-breaking three-year project at Cambridge University Library

A fragile 13th century manuscript fragment, hidden in plain sight as the binding of a 16th-century archival register, has been discovered in Cambridge and revealed to contain rare medieval stories of Merlin and King Arthur.

...

What followed the discovery has been a ground-breaking collaborative project, showcasing the work of the University Library’s Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory (CHIL) and combining historical scholarship with cutting-edge digital techniques, to unlock the manuscript's long-held secrets - without damaging the unique document.

...

To achieve this, the team undertook:

Multispectral Imaging (MSI)

This technique used in CHIL involved capturing the fragment in various wavelengths of light, from ultraviolet to infrared.

...

Computed Tomography (CT) scanning

Conducted with equipment and expertise from the University’s Zoology department, the team used a powerful X-ray scanner—typically used for scanning fossils or skeletons—to virtually penetrate the layers of parchment and uncover hidden structures in the binding.

...

3D modelling

Industrial scanning techniques created highly detailed virtual models of the fragment, allowing researchers to study its creases, stitching, and folds in remarkable detail.

...

The digital results of the project are now available for everyone to explore online via the
Cambridge Digital Library.
