Werewolf dongles let you power old gadgets via USB-C without any modifications

A small tech company called Werewolf makes programmable dongles that allow legacy electronics to be powered through USB-C connections. The adapters work with devices that predate USB technology, such as the original Nintendo Super Famicom released in 1990. No hardware modification or internal surgery is required — the dongle simply connects to the device's existing power port. The reviewer tested the product on a 27-inch monitor, a retro gaming console, and an old external hard drive, powering all of them from a USB battery pack. Impressed by the results, the reviewer purchased a second kit as a birthday gift for a friend.

World's Largest Solar Telescope Captures Long-Predicted Vortexes on Sun's Surface

The world's largest solar telescope has successfully imaged vortexes on the Sun's surface for the first time. These swirling structures had long been theorized by scientists but were previously too small to detect with existing instruments. The breakthrough was made possible by the superior resolution capabilities of the telescope, which surpasses earlier solar observation technology. The discovery confirms predictions about solar surface dynamics and is expected to advance our understanding of the Sun's complex physical processes.
