Restricting pupils’ phone use in school didn’t lead to better grades or mental well-being, a UK study found.

Researchers followed 1,227 students in 30 high schools with different phone policies: They found that students in restrictive schools used their phones a little less during the school day, but the rules didn’t impact their overall use, or their sleep time, anxiety, depression, or wellbeing.

One author said the results suggested policymakers should “do more than focus on schools alone,” but another psychologist argued that “reducing phone/social media time is probably not helpful” and that perceived links between more phone use and poorer wellbeing in young people are likely just a correlation.

The Last Of Us is the rarest of things – a live action video game adaptation that doesn’t suck.

Released in 2023 to critical acclaim, HBO’s The Last Of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilisation has been destroyed. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they travel across America and depend on each other for survival.

James Howells, a British IT worker, mined over 7,500 Bitcoins back in 2009, when they were worth next to nothing. Now a single Bitcoin is worth nearly $100,000, valuing his stash at well over $700 million. Unfortunately, Howells accidentally threw the hard drive he stored the key on in the trash. He has a scheme to get that money back, according to The Guardian. He wants to buy the landfill where it could be buried and dig it up.

Howells doesn’t exactly know where the hard drive is, but has a solid guess based on when he tossed it in the trash. He has it narrowed down to a particular section of a South Wales landfill that houses 15,000 metric tons of waste. The landfill is approaching maximum capacity, so Howells wants to buy it off the city. Officials have warned that the hard drive is “buried under 25,000 cubic meters of waste and earth” as it has been there for almost 12 years.
