December 6, 2025, 11:18 PM EST. During a cliff fall in Colorado, photographer Phong Le relied on his Apple Watch to reach help after the device began auto-calling 911. Le tapped the watch's button to connect with dispatchers, then used his still-working phone to coordinate rescue. He suffered lacerations, bruising, and two sprained wrists, but avoided broken bones. Experts warn fall detection tech can trigger false alarms-like ski injuries or tree impacts-but many rescues are saved by smartwatches. Boise County Sheriff Deputy David Gomez notes false alarms are common, while Apple Insider and other cases show similar alerts aiding divers and hikers. The incident spotlights valuable, if imperfect, wearable safety features.

December 6, 2025, 10:46 PM EST. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang spoke at Cambridge Union about leadership, strategy and sacrifice, arguing that strategy is not only what to pursue but what to leave behind. He recalled predicting Nvidia's evolution and urged students to manifest their beliefs deeply, stay committed through uncertainty, and gut-check assumptions daily. Huang emphasized unshakable principles-"We believe what we believe"-and highlighted course corrections driven by evidence rather than external pressure. He pointed to Nvidia's rise with the invention of the GPU and CUDA as catalysts of an AI revolution, and spoke of the CEO's role as a lifetime of sacrifice in service of the team. The talk touched adaptability, failure as learning, and the duty to create conditions for others to achieve their life's work.

December 6, 2025, 10:32 PM EST. China launched the Long March-8A rocket from the Hainan launch site, delivering the 14th group of low-orbit internet satellites into preset orbit. The mission lifted off at 3:53 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2025, marking the rocket's fifth flight and the Long March series' 612th launch. Developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the Long March-8A stands 50.5 meters tall and can carry up to 7 tonnes to a sun-synchronous orbit around 700 km. After its maiden flight in February, the vehicle moved into a high-density launch mode and, for the first time, switched its primary propellant from petroleum-based kerosene to coal-based kerosene, promoting a green power approach while maintaining stability and cost-effectiveness.

December 6, 2025, 10:30 PM EST. Holly Hill Police Chief Byron Williams warns that artificial intelligence is being used in disturbing ways by online predators, creating new investigative challenges. In June, 47-year-old David McKeown, a teacher, was sentenced to 135 years for using AI to generate child pornography-the first AI-linked case the department has seen. Officials say AI can produce thousands of images quickly, while suspects stay anonymous online, complicating tracing. Investigators rely on IP addresses, digital footprints, and partnerships with federal and state agencies to stay ahead. The chief stresses dangers like sextortion and manipulated images, regardless of whether content is AI-generated. Florida Gov. DeSantis has called for an AI Bill of Rights to protect minors, and authorities seek further equipment and collaboration.

December 6, 2025, 9:54 PM EST. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has released for the original Nintendo Switch and the newer Switch 2, and it also shines on PC via popular emulators like Ryubing, Eden, and Citron. Despite Nintendo's crackdown on some emulation projects, several capable forks remain active. A video shows the game running smoothly on these emulators, and the real standout is rendering the title in stereoscopic 3D using ReShade and playing through Virtual Desktop on a big screen. The guide notes selecting the Vulkan option, enabling Rendepth, and tuning depth, parallax, and Z-buffer settings to achieve a proper depth image. While no Switch 2 emulators exist yet, PC emulation offers another way to experience the game.
