  • China Launches Long March-8A with 14th Internet Satellite Group from Hainan
    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.
  • Holly Hill Police Warn AI Is Creating Online Predator Opportunities; Calls for Safeguards
    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.
  • Metroid Prime 4 Runs on PC Emulators and Supports Stereoscopic 3D
    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.

  • Honor X80 rumored to pack a 10,000mAh battery after certification listing
    December 6, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Honor's mid-range X80 reportedly passed through China's certification database, hinting at a mammoth 10,000mAh battery. The listing mentions 5G and suggests a likely December launch. If real, the battery upgrade would be a major leap over the X70, echoing earlier chatter about bigger capacities for Honor's Magic flagships and X-series. July rumors pegged totals around 8,200-8,400mAh, far below the listing's claim by roughly 1,800mAh. The report also teases increased durability and potentially enhanced mobile gaming performance. Details beyond the battery remain scarce in the entry, so we'll wait for an official reveal to confirm X80 specs, launch timing, and whether the huge battery translates to real-world longevity.
