This simple (yet very effective) tool allows you to add documents, move the documents (to organize them), search them (by title or even within the body), export them, add keywords and labels to documents, view document properties, search by keyword(s), and change the document view. //

The Paperwork feature list includes scanner support, PDF support, auto-detection of page orientation, OCR, document labels, auto-guessing of labels to apply to new documents, search, keyword suggestions, and quick scan edits.

Paperwork is free and can be installed on any Linux distribution and even Windows.

From extra engines to wild-looking fuselages to gigantic radar dishes, here are ten of the strangest Boeings ever made.

If reading this has you deciding to try using Windows 11 without transparency effects as well, you can disable them either by going to Settings > Personalization > Colors and turning off the Transparency effects toggle, or by visiting Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects, where you can disable the same toggle. //

To disable animations, go to Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects. There you'll find the Animation effects toggle, which you can turn off. If you want to keep some animations while disabling others, you can also search for Advanced System Settings in Windows Search and click the appropriate result—Windows being Windows, there are now two Advanced System Settings menus—then open Performance settings and deactivate only the animations you want in the Visual Effects tab. //

In the summer of 1962, a 23-year-old French geologist spent 63 days alone in a glacier cave with no clock and no sun. When his team called him up on 14 September, he insisted it was still 20 August. The gap opened a new field of biology.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is preparing to change a foundational rule designed to minimize radiation exposure. The update is part of President Trump's expansive changes to nuclear oversight, as his administration seeks to revive nuclear energy to power data centers for artificial intelligence.

Under a new proposed rule, the agency is eliminating a 50-year-old standard known as "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA), which requires the nuclear industry to drive radiation exposure for workers and the public below the stated limits where possible. The new rule also creates a carveout for some workers to get higher exposures to radiation in special circumstances. //

For some, the elimination of ALARA is overdue. "Keeping doses as low as reasonably achievable was a fair idea," said Emily Caffrey, a radiation health physicist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. But in practice, the standard forced companies to take increasingly stringent radiation protection measures. It also created ambiguity, Caffrey said, "because what's 'reasonable' to one person isn't reasonable to another person."

But others warn that the change could lay the groundwork for higher radiation exposures.

"Removing it would remove that incentive for these companies to continue to maintain the practices that protected their workers and the public," said Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a watchdog group.

The public comment period for the new rule ends Aug. 31. It could go into effect early next year. //

The NRC decided not to change its scientific model of radiation risk, known as the Linear No Threshold model, but it has proposed eliminating ALARA.

Speaking this week on the Federal News Network, NRC Chairman Ho Nieh said that ALARA is no longer working. //

The proposed NRC rule doesn't change its other regulatory limits, but it does create some carve-outs. In particular, the industry would now be able to ask for a "planned occupational dose limit extension," which would allow workers to receive 10 rem instead of 5 in any given year, providing their overall exposure doesn't pass 25 rem in a five-year period. //

But Lyman, with the Union of Concerned Scientists, thinks that ALARA should stay. He said while it may be imperfect, its net effect has been to reduce radiation exposure to very low levels. The harms of low-dose radiation exposure are difficult to see, but Lyman says NRC's own models suggest those harms exist.

In his opinion, the revised rule ignores that risk and is designed to desensitize the public to the dangers of radiation. "It's trying to devalue and deemphasize the harm of ionizing radiation exposure," he warned.

AB 1856 excludes open-source operating systems from the upcoming Digital Age Assurance Act.//

These amendments redefine the term “operating system provider” to exclude any person or entity that distributes an OS or application “under license terms that permit a recipient to copy, redistribute, and modify the software.” Any software distributed under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses satisfies that test, which removes the likes of Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, and the BSD family from AB 1856’s scope.

Are you tired of renting digital books from tech giants who change the rules whenever they like? Building a personal library takes some effort, but owning your files feels right. Here are the best websites where you can buy modern DRM-free ebooks and keep them on your drive.

Replacing a widebody jet on a premier long-haul corridor with a single-aisle aircraft sounds like a masterclass in fuel efficiency, but Air Canada quietly abandoned that exact strategy before the first passenger even boarded. When schedule filings initially showed the carrier deploying its brand-new Airbus A321XLR on AC852 between Toronto Pearson(YYZ) and London Heathrow(LHR), it appeared to begin the evolution with which North American network carriers would manage top-tier transatlantic trunk routes. Within months, however, Air Canada pulled the narrowbody from the schedule, restoring twin-aisle Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamlinerservice to protect high-density seat inventory and premium belly-freight capacity.
