Crankshaft Crossing, also known as Crankshaft Junction, is a site in the Death Valley backcountry featuring a collection of abandoned crankshafts and a custom-made metal signpost. Located at the intersection of the Death Valley-Big Pine road and a route toward Gold Point, Nevada, the crossing is accessible via the main road, though the side road to Gold Point requires four-wheel drive due to washouts. While the tradition of marking the site is decades old, its exact origins remain unknown.

Yifeng "Evan" Wang has released OpenStrike, an open-source, single-player FPS for the 2004 Sony PSP that utilizes GoldSrc-era map formats. Built on the Pocket runtime architecture, the game features a Rust-based engine for core mechanics and TypeScript and Solid.js for rules and UI. The project achieves a locked 60 FPS on the handheld's 333 MHz MIPS CPU and fixed-function GPU by using aggressive build-time 'baking,' including vertex-baked lighting, quantized positions, and CLUT8 textures. The game aims to demonstrate that JavaScript business logic can scale to real-time 3D environments on resource-constrained hardware.

Agility Robotics is establishing a 60,000-square-foot facility in Fremont, California, to train its humanoid robot, Digit, in environments mimicking real-world warehouse and manufacturing settings. While Tesla is concurrently developing its own humanoid robot, Optimus, in the same region, Agility highlights that its Digit robots are already deployed in commercial operations for customers such as Amazon, Toyota, and GXO. Led by CEO Peggy Johnson, Agility is preparing for a reverse-merger to become a public company. The firm currently emphasizes a practical approach to autonomy that separates safety-critical systems from generative AI, and it plans to continue focusing on industrial logistics rather than consumer in-home robotics.

This article from The Atlantic compares modern air quality issues caused by wildfires to the atmospheric conditions that followed the asteroid impact 66 million years ago. Scientists describe how the impact triggered global wildfires, blocked sunlight, and filled the atmosphere with dust and soot for years. Experts note that while current smoke levels in the United States are harmful, they are significantly less severe than the environmental conditions that contributed to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.

Three microsatellites for the Google-backed FireSat program successfully launched from California on July 7, 2026, marking the start of a constellation designed to detect wildfires. Developed by Muon Space with financial backing from Google and the Bezos Earth Fund, the satellites utilize multispectral imaging to identify fires as small as five by five meters through smoke and cloud cover. Following a three-month testing period, the program will begin providing data to fire agencies in regions including California, Colorado, Australia, and Portugal, with plans to expand global coverage to hourly intervals by 2029 and eventually every 20 minutes by the early 2030s.
