    Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
    The scientists have found methane in the atmosphere of WISEA J181006.18 −101000.5, the T dwarf closest to Earth. The study was published in the online preprint journal arXiv on March 28, and the final, revised version was published on November 17. The WISE1810 is a metal-poor T dwarf planet, which is situated at a distance of 29 light years from the Earth. The effective temperature of the dwarf is reported to be within the range of 800–1,300 K.Methane Signature Surprises AstronomersAccording to a Phys.org report, the finding is made greatly possible by the present 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). The detection of methane in the atmosphere of the dwarf planet has further made its classification as T-type instead of L-type, which was earlier suggested in previous studies, the publication notes. The study further reveal that there are no traces of carbon monoxide and potassium in the atmosphere of the WISE1810. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T dwarf planet could be due to the non-detection of atomic potassium. However, a lower temperature could also boost this effect, the report further highlights. The study also found that WISE1810 has a heliocentric velocity of -83 km/s. The 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) supplies a significant contribution to finishing WISEA J181006.18−101000 observations. Interestingly, the previous observations of the dwarf platent suggested that the atmosphere of the dwarf planet was dominated by hydrogen and water vapour. Moreover, the study further reveals that findings indicates WISE1810 could more likely to be associated with the Milky Way's thick disk, despite its very low metallicity.

    What are your biggest GameCube title hopes on NSO?
    MasterYoshi Member Oct 27, 2017 12,091 For me personally, it's gotta Monkey Ball 1&2. The Monkey Ball games were 'remade' in recent years but the physics didn't match and it felt like most all of the mini games suffered as a result. Especially my coveted Monkey Target. I would say Mario Kart Double Dash but with 8 and now World on the way, Double Dash would probably not be nearly as fun to revisit. Luigi's Mansion is already planned for later and it's up there on my mind. Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure 2. Pikmin 1&2 but I somehow doubt they'll make it as they are being sold as a collection currently...  --R Being sued right now, please help me find a lawyer Member Oct 25, 2017 15,226 Animal Crossing.   Desma "This guy are sick" Member Oct 27, 2017 6,656 Gamecube's Tales of Symphonia would be fun to see   Vertpin Member Oct 27, 2017 6,637 melee.   Kaitos Tens across the board!

    Trump’s “Reciprocal Tariffs” Have Reportedly Exclude PCs & Smartphone Imports; A Major Sigh of Relief For The Consumer Market
    Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech HardwareIndustry Trump’s “Reciprocal Tariffs” Have Reportedly Exclude PCs & Smartphone Imports; A Major Sigh of Relief For The Consumer Market Muhammad Zuhair • Apr 12, 2025 at 08:20am EDT U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has released new tariff guidance, and the product exemption list includes both smartphone and PC tariff codes, indicating that the reciprocal tariffs won't have an effect on their pricing. US CBP Tariff Guidance Includes Exemptions For Smartphones & PCs, Likely Catering To All Global Markets Well, this is something we weren't expecting at all; following the announcement of Trump tariffs, we have seen a massive panic in consumer markets, worried about how the prices of IT products will be affected by the new policies. However, CBP's latest tariff guidance mentions two key tariff codes, 8517.13.00 and 8471, which are assigned to smartphones and PC products, respectively, which indicates that consumer hardware and mobile phones won't get expensive under the new reciprocal tariffs, creating a massive relief. According to our interpretation of the documents, the exemption clause doesn't mention a "China-specific" clause, which means that smartphones and PC products coming from the region won't see the 145% tariff. This is a major development. The new guidance might just sort out all the fear and uncertainty in the supply chain, allowing companies like Apple, Dell, HP, and many others to resume business operations as expected. However, given how quickly Trump's policies are evolving, we cannot be sure that the exemption status will remain the same in the longer run, but at least in the "90-day" pause, we are anticipating that products like Apple's iPhone, NVIDIA/AMD consumer GPUs, and many others won't see a price hike, well unless the respective manufacturers decide something else. Apart from this, semiconductor equipment has also seen an exemption under the 8486 code, another relief for the chipmakers setting up facilities in the US. It seems like the Trump administration has realized the cost of imposing large-scale tariffs on nations that play a vital role in the global supply chain and has excluded certain products like smartphones and PCs to mitigate the process. We are looking forward to further elaboration on the CBP guidance, and we'll keep our viewers updated.

    سلسلة Oppo Find X8s بمعالج Dimensity 9400+ متاحة الآن عالميًا عبر الاستيراد
    أطلقت OPPO رسميًا سلسلة Find X8S في الصين إلى جانب هاتف Find X8 Ultra، وهي تضم هاتفين جديدين يعملان بمعالج Dimensity 9400+.وعلى الرغم من عدم الإعلان عن طرح هذه الهواتف عالميًا بعد، إلا أن متجر Giztop قام بتوفير هاتف Find X8 Ultra للمشترين العالميين، والآن أصبح بإمكان المستخدمين أيضًا شراء الهواتف الجديدة بمعالج Dimensity 9400+ عبر المتجر نفسه.لكن من المهم أن يكون المشترون على دراية ببعض التحذيرات عند التفكير في استيراد هواتف Find X8S أو X8S+. نظرًا لأن هذه الهواتف مخصصة للسوق الصيني، قد لا تعمل بعض التطبيقات أو لا تعمل بشكل صحيح.على سبيل المثال، يُعرف أن تطبيق Android Auto لا يعمل عادة على معظم الهواتف في الصين. ومع ذلك، يضمن متجر Giztop أن متجر Google Play وخدمات Google Mobile ستكون فعالة بشكل كامل.أما فيما يتعلق بالأسعار، فإن سعر هاتف Find X8S يبدأ من 789 دولارًا على متجر Giztop، في حين أن السعر الأساسي لهاتف X8S+ يبلغ 839 دولارًا. وهذا يمثل زيادة كبيرة مقارنة بأسعار الإطلاق الصينية التي كانت حوالي 4199 يوان (حوالي 574 دولارًا).أما بالنسبة لمواصفات الهواتف، فكلا الهاتفين يعملان بمعالج Dimensity 9400+، ويأتيان بذاكرة عشوائية تصل إلى 16 جيجابايت وذاكرة تخزين داخلية تصل إلى 1 تيرابايت.كما يتميز كلا الجهازين بشاشات AMOLED بحجم 6.32 بوصة لهاتف Find X8S و6.59 بوصة لهاتف X8S+، مع معدل تحديث 120 هرتز.ويحتوي كل منهما على إعداد كاميرا ثلاثية بدقة 50 ميجابكسل، بالإضافة إلى تصنيف IP68/IP69 لمقاومة الماء والغبار، ودعم الشحن اللاسلكي بقدرة 50 واط والشحن السلكي بقدرة 80 واط.على الرغم من ذلك، يجب على المهتمين بالاستيراد أن يعلموا أن OPPO قد أطلقت بالفعل هواتف Find X8 وX8 Pro خارج الصين. ومن المحتمل أن يتم طرح سلسلة X8S عالميًا في المستقبل القريب، رغم أن X8 Ultra قد لا يصل إلى السوق العالمي.المصدر

    In another universe, Steve Martin voiced Goofy in A Goofy Movie
    It’s hard to imagine the beloved blockbuster disappointment A Goofy Movie without the distinct voice Disney fans have associated with him since Pinto Colvig originated the character in 1932. But according to Disney Plus’ Not Just a Goof, a documentary that dives into the making of the 1995 cult classic for its 30th anniversary, there was a moment where it looked like Goofy wouldn’t be able to keep his iconic Hyuck!s and Gawrsh!s for the movie.  According to A Goofy Movie director Kevin Lima, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg wasn’t totally sold on the cartoony Goofy voice. So he offered an alternative.  “He had this… great idea,” Lima recounts, dripping sarcasm. “What if… Steve Martin were Goofy? Wouldn’t that be fabulous? Imagine how you could sell that!” Katzenberg didn’t even want Martin to attempt the classic Goofy voice, Lima says — he just wanted Martin to do his own voice.  Lima and the other filmmakers knew this was, quite frankly, a terrible idea. But in order to gently guide Katzenberg to that conclusion, Lima approached longtime Goofy voice actor Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden (who voiced Goofy’s son Max) and suggested a plan. Lima asked Farmer to just record some scenes in his regular voice.  “And Bill has a complete meltdown,” Lima says.  “I went home and I didn’t get much sleep,” Farmer confesses in the movie. “’Cause I was worried… Don’t they wanna hear Goofy when they hear A Goofy Movie?” Still, Farmer went through with it, recording a few scenes in his normal voice. The team showed the footage to Katzenberg, with Lima claiming that he personally wasn’t behind the idea. After watching the scenes, Katzenberg thankfully also agreed that the straightforward character voice did not work for Goofy, and Farmer was able to return to the usual Goofy characterization for the movie. “This is how the whim of a studio executive can change a movie in a moment if you don’t fight back against a bad idea,” says Lima.  While the filmmakers didn’t ultimately use Farmer’s regular voice, though, head of story Brian Pimental says those recording sessions added dimensionality to the character. In the Goof Troop television show and other Goofy shorts, Goofy is cartoonish and silly. But A Goofy Movie shows more of his emotional range, as a sometimes struggling, sometimes angry, or loving, or emotionally wounded father. Now that the filmmakers knew what Farmer could do, Lima said, they could guide him to a subtler and more powerful performance.  Given Goofy’s decades-long role as Disney’s resident clown, it might have seemed strange on paper to see Goofy having a tense heart-to-heart with Max, where he and his son awkwardly stumble over words. Especially after a scene where Goofy accidentally catches Bigfoot, screams his head off, and scrambles away backward while holding up his camera to record the cryptid. But that contrast is what makes A Goofy Movie so special. All respect to Steve Martin, but without Bill Farmer and the classic Goofy characterization, it just wouldn’t be the same.  Not Just a Goof is streaming now on Disney Plus. (And so is A Goofy Movie).

    The 25 Best Movies Streaming on Hulu Right Now
    We may earn a commission from links on this page.Hulu doesn't always get the recognition of competitors like Netflix and Max, but the streamer has an unfailingly reliable and rotating selection of theatrical films, as well as some impressive original releases. These are some of the best, buzziest, and/or most fun movies currently streaming on the service, across a variety of genres.Anora (2024) Writer/director Sean Baker (Tangerine, Red Rocket) has a long run of impressive film credits to his name, but comedy-drama Anora was the film that put his name firmly on the map, winning him a Best Director Oscar and the film a Best Picture prize. Mikey Madison (who also won Best Actress) plays the title's Anora, an exotic dancer whose life changes when she falls in love with the son of a Russian oligarch. It's all going very well until his parents show up to get the wedding annulled. You can stream Anora here.Tombstone (1993) This '90s cult classic is a pretty good and stylish take on the events surrounding the famous, and frequently dramatized, gunfight at the O.K. corral involving Wyatt Earp and company—so frequently dramatized, in fact, that a totally different movie about the same events (called Wyatt Earp) came out within six months of this one. Tombstone has something none of those others had, though: the late Val Kilmer as the hard-drinking, idiosyncratic Doc Holliday. It's almost certainly Kilmer's most indelible role, and remains cinema's most memorable take on the tubercular gunfighter. You can stream Tombstone here.The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat (2024) One of those great Soul Food/Steel Magnolia-style tearjerkers, The Supremes stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Sanaa Lathan, and Uzo Aduba as three middle-aged friends who've been through the wringer together. Following the three virtually from birth, we find them facing a seemingly endless number of twists and turns (unplanned pregnancy, cancer, alcoholism, and more) with a lot of heart and plenty of humor. You can stream The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat here.Longlegs (2024) Oz Perkins, more recently of The Monkey, directs this horror thriller starring Maika Monroe as a young FBI agent hunting the title's menacing Longlegs (Nicholas Cage). The serial killer's trail has gone cold, but Agent Harker's seeming clairvoyance has put the two on a collision course, even though there's no evidence the suspect was ever even present at the killings for which he's apparently responsible. Stylish and nerve-jangling, with an unhinged (of course) performance from Cage, it's a real killer thriller. You can stream Longlegs here.My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) Nia Vardalos and company kicked off an unlikely franchise with this beloved rom-com about a young Greek-American woman (Nia Vardalos) who falls in love with a non-Greek (John Corbett). Shenanigans ensue when she struggles to get her family (including Lainie Kazan, Michael Constantine, Andrea Martin, and Joey Fatone) to accept her husband-to-be, while she also battles her own mixed feelings about her cultural identity. You can stream My Big Fat Greek Wedding here.A Complete Unknown (2024) Another multiple Oscar-nominee (though it didn't take home any prizes), A Complete Unknown comes from director James Mangold, whose resume includes award-season faves like Ford v Ferrari, Wolverine and Indiana Jones franchise movies, and another Oscar-winning musical biopic, Walk the Line. In this one, Timothée Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan alongside Ed Norton as Pete Seeger, with the narrative rotating around the moment in 1965 when Dylan went electric, scandalizing the Newport Folk Festival, and leading fans to question whether the voice of his generation had sold out. You can stream A Complete Unknown here.Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Awkward title notwithstanding, this fourth entry in the modern-day Apes series retains the technical mastery of its predecessors, as well as their revolutionary spirit, while also serving as a soft reboot that doesn't demand an extensive knowledge of what came before. Generations after the death of Andy Serkis' Caesar, human civilization continues to decline; Owen Teague plays Not, a young chimp forced from home when a tyrannical rival ape faction destroys his village over twisted and conflicting interpretations of Caesar's teachings. It's an impressive continuation of our smartest and most consistent modern movie franchise. Hulu has an array of earlier Apes movies, as well. You can stream Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes here. The First Omen (2024) These legacy sequels have been hit or miss—though more the latter than the former. If you had told me that a prequel to this long-defunct franchise would be one of 2024's more effective horror movies, I'd have looked at you the way everybody looked at Gregory Peck when he tried to kill his satanic kid way back in the 1976 original. But here we are! First-time feature director Arkasha Stevenson brings a ton of '70s period style and an appropriately paranoid vibe to the story of future antichrist Damien's birth, blending (extremely timely!) themes of bodily autonomy with genuine horror—and one of the freakiest birth scenes in movie history. You can stream The First Omen here.Fire Island (2022) Or maybe you prefer your gay flicks with more of a warm-weather vibe? A queer, contemporary take on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Fire Island also takes aim at the overabundance of fat/femme/Asian stereotypes in the gay community. Social commentary aside, it's also a funny, smart romantic comedy with a great cast that includes Joel Kim Booster (in the Lizzy Bennett role—he also wrote the screenplay), Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, and Margaret Cho as a group of friends who travel each summer to the titular island—but this summer proves more dramatic (and romantic) than most. You can stream Fire Island here.Triangle of Sadness (2022) One of the darkest (and funniest) satires of recent memory, Ruben Östlund's wild film feels like at least three movies in one, with narratives that take sharp right turns at unexpected moments, taking potshots at greed and skewering capitalism all the way. A memorable central section onboard a luxury cruise ship divided between the haves (passengers) and have-nots (the crew) climaxes in literal explosions of vomit and shit. That's before a satisfying role-reversal inspired by Lord of the Flies. Brilliant and hilarious, if you've got the stomach for it. You can stream Triangle of Sadness here.The Worst Person in the World (2021) Renate Reinsve brilliantly plays Julie, a medical student—briefly—who has no idea what she wants to do with her life, and a complete fear of commitment to anything and anyone. She's that most frequently exhausting movie trope: a messy 20-something young woman, in ways that you've seen before in other, lesser movies. The Worst Person in the World, though, plays that for all it's worth, offering up all the joys of cinematic romantic dramas that we've seen before while feeling a bit more like real life. People are messy! It's all surprisingly sweet and life-affirming. You can stream The Worst Person in the World here.Prey (2022) Wild that the best Predator film since the first (and probably better still) was dropped as a streaming-only release on Hulu. Regardless of the movie deserving a theatrical release, Prey is a thrilling action movie that expands the Predator universe while also feeling deeply personal. Set in the Great Plains of 1719, Prey stars Amber Midthunder as Naru, a young Comanche warrior who winds up being the only person who can defend her tribe from the hunter from outer space. You can stream Prey here.The Princess Bride (1987) A flawlessly entertaining fantasy, The Princess Bride works on almost every level: as a quotable comedy, a soaring romance, and a Robin Hood-style action movie that has fun with the tropes of those kinds of movies. It's simply a delight. You can stream The Princess Bride here.The Promised Land (2023) In 18th-century Denmark, down-on-his-luck war hero Capt. Ludvig Kahlen (Mads Mikkelsen) hopes to turn his meager retirement pension into some kind of life for himself by cultivating a portion of a vast wilderness that no one else has been able to make anything of. A covetous local magistrate quickly finds himself threatened by Kahlen's reputation, with the intent of spoiling all his plans. The beautiful—but bleak and forbidding—Nordic drama plays out much like an old-school western. You can stream The Promised Land here.Happiest Season (2020) Never too early for the winter holidays! (Say many wonderful people who are definitely not me.) Hulu’s Happiest Season is, perhaps, not on anyone’s list of cinematic masterpieces. Very few (if any) films of the modern, Hallmark-style coming-home-for-Christmas genre would clear that kind of bar. Still, there’s a reason we love these things, and this one adds a bit of prestige to its charms in both cast (Kristen Stewart, Aubrey Plaza, Victor Garber, etc.) and directing (Clea DuVall). What’s more, the movie served as a high-profile torchbearer for queer representation in 2020, the year having kicked off a small but significant wave of LGBTQIA+ holiday films. You can stream Happiest Season here.Deep Water (2022) Adrian Lyne (9½ Weeks, Fatal Attraction, and Indecent Proposal) returned to the director’s chair after an absence of two decades for this Hulu original. Ben Affleck is probably a rough equivalent in star power and sex appeal to the male leads of yore, and Ana de Armas is a good choice as a co-lead, even if the casting does remind us that age gaps in these movies will always favor the idea of an older man with a significantly younger woman. Here, Affleck’s Vic agrees to overlook his wife’s string of affairs in order to preserve his marriage, but then becomes the prime suspect when her lovers start turning up dead. It’s a solid setup (taken from a Patricia Highsmith novel) that doesn’t quite connect, but still serves as fun throwback to the golden age of sexy thrillers. You can stream Deep Water here.Die Hard (1988) It’s the Christmas movie that came along and kicked It’s a Wonderful Life right off the 35th floor of Nakatomi Plaza tower. A brilliantly entertaining action classic, and possibly Bruce Willis' crowning achievement. You can stream Die Hard here.Infinity Pool (2023) Writer/director Brandon Cronenberg (son of David) brings a palpable rage and an unmistakable sense of style to this blend of sci-fi and horror, even as it muddies those genre classifications like the best of his famed father's work. A couple vacationing in a strange country leave their resort and run afoul of the law, only to learn that, for a price, they can outsource the punishment to clones of themselves. You can stream Infinity Pool here.13 Assassins (2010) Near the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the utterly sadistic (not to mention corrupt) Lord Naritsugu is to be offered a seat on the Shogunate Council, a promotion that will not only see the cruel lord’s power increase, but will likely set off a civil war between his supporters and those who hate him. The Shogun’s justice minister decides that assassination is the only way, and so hires a dozen samurai in order to carry out the execution. The kinetic and violent film reminds us that director Takashi Miike made his name in several memorably visceral horror films. You can stream 13 Assassins here.How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2023) A non-fiction work adapted as an action-thriller, How to Blow Up a Pipeline follows eight individuals committed to bombing an oil pipeline in two separate locations. The movie, like the book on which it's based, makes the case that property damage isn’t the worst thing in the face of environmental catastrophe, but that the level of commitment involved to carry out such an act takes a deeply personal toll. You can stream How to Blow Up a Pipeline here.Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) A deeply, deeply stupid premise involving a divorced dad reconnecting with his family by dressing up as an elderly British nanny is elevated by the lead performances from Robin Williams and Sally Field. Williams is at his silly best, but both he and Field play the emotional beats for all they're worth. You can stream Mrs. Doubtfire here. Midnight Kiss (2019) Technically an episode of Hulu's Into the Dark anthology series, the feature-length Midnight Kiss finds a bunch of gay friends (and their straight woman friend) heading out to a gorgeous place in the desert for an annual tradition: They'll each pick someone at random to kiss at midnight. Old resentments bubble to the surface, egged on (unbeknownst to most of them) by a serial killer. It's no spoiler to suggest that they won't all make it to New Year's Day. You can stream Midnight Kiss here.Quiz Lady (2023) Awkwafina and Sandra Oh star as two sisters is this wild road-trip comedy in the best tradition of '90s gems like Romy & Michele's High School Reunion. One is tightly wound, the other a complete mess. They're forced to work together to cover their mother's gambling debts, a problem complicated when the loan shark kidnaps a dog to hold hostage in exchange for the cash. Good thing Awkwafina's character is a quiz-show savant who drowned her childhood sorrows in binge-watching a Jeopardy-esque game show with a big cash prize. You can stream Quiz Lady here.The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) Dev Patel stars as the Dickens hero in this ultra-stylish adaptation from Armando Iannucci (Veep, The Death of Stalin). In one sense it reinvents the novel on which it's based, in that it feels nothing like other, stuffier takes—but mostly it's just bringing the wit and humor of Dickens to the forefront while staying true to Copperfield's themes and characters. Patel is joined by Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton, Ben Whislaw, Benedict Wong, and Gwendoline Christie among others. You can stream The Personal History of David Copperfield here.A Real Pain (2024) Jesse Eisenberg (who also wrote and directed) and Kieran Culkin (who won an Oscar for the role) play a couple of cousins who reunite for a Jewish heritage tour through Poland as a means of honoring their late grandmother, and have to confront a more immediate family legacy along the way. A tonally deft blend of comedy and drama with a couple of excellent lead performances. You can stream A Real Pain here.
