White funnel-and-bag devices in forests are pheromone traps — leave them alone

White funnel-shaped devices attached to bags and fixed to trees in Polish forests are pheromone traps used by foresters to monitor and combat insect pests. Despite looking like litter blown by the wind, they are deliberately placed tools that play an important role in forest protection. Walkers are urged not to touch or remove them, as doing so undermines pest-control efforts.

Greek Shipowners Earned $3.8bn Transporting Russian Oil Since 2023

Greek shipowners have earned at least $3.8 billion transporting Russian oil since mid-2023, according to a Financial Times analysis. The operations are legal under G7 price-cap rules and the companies say they comply fully with the law, but the profits have drawn criticism from Kyiv. The revelations come as Western nations plan to tighten sanctions against Russia.

Should the West ban Greek shipowners from transporting Russian oil?

Vivo X Fold 6 Proves Foldables Don't Have to Sacrifice Battery Life

The new vivo X Fold 6 challenges the long-held assumption that booklet foldables must accept smaller batteries, throttled performance and weaker cameras compared to traditional flagship smartphones. The device delivers impressive battery life and strong specs that rival — or beat — ultra-premium non-folding phones costing $500 less than a typical $1,700 foldable. The phone highlights a growing gap between US foldable offerings and Asian competitors.

Are foldable smartphones worth their premium price?

Dermatologist: Collagen Creams and Powders Don't Magically Rejuvenate Skin

A dermatologist explains that collagen applied topically in creams and masks cannot penetrate the skin barrier in active form — the molecules are too large. Oral collagen supplements may supply amino acids, but there is no guarantee they will reach the skin specifically. Sun protection, adequate hydration and a healthy lifestyle are the most decisive factors for skin condition.

Do collagen supplements genuinely improve skin condition?

Two traders sue Polymarket over wrongly resolved Strategy bitcoin sale market

Two traders have filed a lawsuit against prediction market platform Polymarket, alleging it wrongly resolved a market concerning Strategy's sale of bitcoin as "No." The plaintiffs argue that Strategy's SEC filing clearly disclosed the sale of 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31, making the "No" resolution incorrect. The case raises broader questions about dispute resolution on decentralised prediction markets.

Should Polymarket reverse the resolution of the Strategy bitcoin sale market?
