  Don't lick that cold metal pole in winter—if you do, don't panic

  (Ars Technica / 2026-03-11 12:31)

  A graduate student investigated the science behind "tundra tongue," the phenomenon of a tongue sticking to cold metal, after experiencing it himself. His research team reviewed historical cases and published two scientific papers on the topic.

  The study identified 113 unique cases in Scandinavia, with the earliest recorded incident dating back to 1845. That historical case resulted in injury when the person pulled their tongue free, highlighting the potential for damage.

  The main topics covered are the scientific investigation of "tundra tongue," its historical prevalence and documented cases, and the potential risks and injuries associated with the phenomenon.

  Grab this speedy 4TB Crucial P310 SSD, the cheapest on sale right now, for just £299.99 — nearly £90 price drop is as good as it gets for high-capacity PC storage as the AI crunch continues to bite

  (Latest from Tom's Hardware / 2026-03-11 12:29)

  A 4TB Crucial P310 NVMe SSD is on sale for £299.99 on Amazon UK, representing a significant price drop of up to £86. This deal is notable because rising NAND flash prices, driven by AI industry demand, have made high-capacity SSDs more expensive overall.

  The drive offers PCIe 4.0 speeds with sequential read/write rates of 7,100/6,000 MB/s, positioning it as a capable mid-tier performer rather than the absolute fastest. The article concludes that, given current market conditions where low prices are unlikely to return soon, this offer provides strong value for a high-capacity Gen 4 SSD.

  Main Topics: SSD sale/deal, product specifications and performance, market context of rising storage prices.

  Projeto ‘Antifacção’ quer prender todo mundo, menos os criminosos de verdade

  (Brasil de Fato / 2026-03-11 12:28)

  O Projeto de Lei 5582/2025, chamado "PL Antifacção", criminaliza atos cotidianos de sobrevivência e solidariedade nas periferias, como avisar vizinhos sobre operações policiais ou alugar um quarto, com penas que podem chegar a 40 anos de prisão. O texto é criticado por ser vago e direcionado à população pobre, enquanto ignora o combate ao crime organizado de alto escalão e à lavagem de dinheiro no sistema financeiro. Especialistas alertam que a proposta pode agravar o encarceramento em massa e a violência, desviando o foco das verdadeiras causas da insegurança e da necessidade de políticas públicas de direitos sociais.

  Oracle rallies as strong revenue forecast eases concerns over massive AI bets

  (Tech-Economic Times / 2026-03-11 12:25)

  Oracle's stock surged after the company issued an upbeat revenue forecast, raising its fiscal 2027 target to $90 billion. A key indicator of future revenue, its remaining performance obligations, soared 325% year-over-year, signaling strong demand for its AI infrastructure investments.

  The company is making a massive bet on AI by building data centers for partners like OpenAI while using AI tools internally to develop software more efficiently. Analysts describe Oracle as a direct, though leveraged and higher-risk, play on the AI infrastructure buildout.

  Executive Chairman Larry Ellison addressed concerns that AI tools threaten its software business, stating Oracle is embracing them to create new SaaS products. However, some analysts note persistent investor worries about execution risks and financial pressures within its cloud division.

  ‘Siren economy’: Why tactical wins fail to bring Israel strategic safety

  (Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera / 2026-03-11 12:21)

  Summary: The article argues that despite tactical successes like high-profile assassinations, Israel is experiencing a "security achievement gap" where it cannot translate these operations into daily security or strategic stability. Instead, it faces a sustained war of attrition characterized by frequent, disruptive drone and rocket alerts that target its economic heartland, particularly the Tel Aviv area. This has shattered the psychological sense of safety previously provided by systems like the Iron Dome, paralyzing daily life and the economy.

  Main Topics Covered: 1. The failure of tactical military actions (like assassinations) to provide long-term strategic security for Israel. 2. The shift to a sustained war of attrition using low-cost drones and rockets, which disrupt daily life and the economy. 3. The targeted attacks on Israel's central economic region, undermining the psychological contract between the state and its citizens.

  G7 welcomes potential record release of oil reserves as prices surge

  (BBC News / 2026-03-11 12:07)

  Summary: The G7 nations have expressed support for a coordinated release of strategic oil reserves to address surging prices caused by disruptions from the US-Israel war with Iran. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is reportedly preparing its largest-ever market intervention, potentially releasing 300-400 million barrels, though analysts note this would only cover a few days of global supply and is a short-term measure. The release involves making existing commercial stocks available to refineries, not a physical flood of new oil, and depletes reserves that cannot be immediately replenished.

  Main Topics Covered: 1. The G7's support for releasing strategic oil reserves to curb high prices. 2. The market disruption and supply slump caused by conflict in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz. 3. The scale and limitations of the proposed IEA intervention. 4. The mechanics and constraints of using strategic oil reserves.
