River of waste 'visible for miles' dumped at mountain beauty spot
River of waste'visible for miles' dumped at mountain beauty spot A farmer says she is devastated by a disgusting river of fly-tipped waste dumped down the side of a mountain. Katie Davies, whose family has owned land on Bwlch Mountain in Treorchy for 90 years, said the clean up could cost thousands of pounds and could also harm her sheep which graze on the land. Travel blogger Nathan Dixon, who captured drone footage showing the scale of the discarded waste, said the mess could be seen from three to five miles away, adding that it sticks out like a sore thumb. Rhondda Cynon Taf council said it always took action to hold those responsible for fly-tipping to account, while Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said fly-tipping was a serious crime. Davies, who runs small family business Nantymoel farm which produces Welsh beef and lamb, said the mess keeps me up at night.

Each course is littered with boost pads, and there's a boost meter you can keep persistently charged by taking turns just right. Because this is what some may call a "video game-ass video game," you can also make your ship jump, skipping entire turns or launching into a fiery wreck in equal measure.

First UK phones to get satellite connectivity in signal blackspots announced
Virgin Media O2 is set to become the first mobile operator to offer UK customers automatic connectivity via satellite in places without mobile signal. O2 Satellite will be an optional service due to launch in the first half of 2026. The firm has not yet revealed how much it will cost, but it will be an additional fee to pay each month. O2 has partnered with Elon Musk's satellite business Starlink to offer the service. Enabled smartphones will automatically switch to satellite coverage in parts of the UK where there is no terrestrial signal available - for example in rural areas.

Mount Everest has a poo problem. Are drones the answer?
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For some adventurers, scaling Mount Everest represents the ultimate test of grit and determination: a visual signifier of humanity's epic struggle to overcome the elements. For others, the peak can seem more like a really tall trash can. Every year, around 600 climbers make the trek from the mountain's base camp to the summit. During their time on Everest, each person produces an estimated 18 pounds of waste, most of which is left behind.

Factual Inconsistencies in Multilingual Wikipedia Tables
Cappa, Silvia, Kong, Lingxiao, Peet, Pille-Riin, Wei, Fanfu, Zhou, Yuchen, Kalo, Jan-Christoph
Wikipedia serves as a globally accessible knowledge source with content in over 300 languages. Despite covering the same topics, the different versions of Wikipedia are written and updated independently. This leads to factual inconsistencies that can impact the neutrality and reliability of the encyclopedia and AI systems, which often rely on Wikipedia as a main training source. This study investigates cross-lingual inconsistencies in Wikipedia's structured content, with a focus on tabular data. We developed a methodology to collect, align, and analyze tables from Wikipedia multilingual articles, defining categories of inconsistency. We apply various quantitative and qualitative metrics to assess multilingual alignment using a sample dataset. These insights have implications for factual verification, multilingual knowledge interaction, and design for reliable AI systems leveraging Wikipedia content.

'Close to perfect': readers' favourite games of 2025 so far
Enshrouded is a beautiful combination of Minecraft, Skyrim and resource gathering that makes it at least three games in one. My daughter told me I would love it and I ignored her for too long. I've tackled Elden Ring, but much prefer the often gentler combat of Enshrouded. It sometimes makes me feel like an elite fighter, then other times kicks my arse in precisely the right measures. Its real joy is the flexibility to spend your time doing whatever tickles your fancy. I'll spend a few hours growing crops to make a cake or smelting metals for better armour, then knock off a few quests to unlock new materials and weapons.
