How to Work Out How Much to Feed Your Dog or Cat

Almost every feeding mistake starts with the weight you type in. Use the animal in front of you and the sum returns the calories that keep it exactly the size it is. Six steps, in order, from body condition through to what goes in the bowl — and what the one substitution is worth: on a Labrador carrying a fifth too much, about a cup and three quarters of food a day.

Anthropic Will Now Answer More of Your Biology Questions

Anthropic retrained the safety classifier that quietly routes biology questions away from Fable 5, cutting those fallbacks by about 85%. Virology, toxicology and molecular design still fall back — and the figure counts downgrades avoided, not answers improved.

Singpass Now Has Passkeys. Four in Five Scams Do Not Steal Your Password

Singpass began supporting passkeys on 1 July. They remove credential theft entirely — and 81.8 per cent of Singapore scams never touch a credential.

Same Body, Two Verdicts: What the Drink-Drive Limit Actually Depends On

At 0.058% blood alcohol you are under the limit in Singapore and over it in Johor Bahru. Malaysia cut its limit from 0.08% to 0.05% in 2020 and much of the internet still quotes the old number — including our own calculator, until this week. What the statutes say in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, and why a threshold without a date is one you cannot check.

RAM Went From $2.80 a Gigabyte to $12. Google's Next Phone Costs More and Carries Less of It

Google has confirmed price rises across the Pixel range, blaming memory costs. Leaked specifications point the other way on RAM, and the arithmetic behind both lands closer together than you would expect.

House Calculations for a Tropical Climate

Ask this site how much air-conditioning a Petaling Jaya bedroom needs and, until this week, you got two different answers — 5,000 BTU from one calculator and 9,000 from another. Settling that argument meant tracing the low number back to a US rule of thumb that assumes an insulated house in a temperate country, and finding it was about a third of what installers here actually fit. What a tropical room really needs, why an oversized unit leaves it cold and damp rather than comfortable, what a ceiling fan is worth in degrees, and why the 601st kilowatt-hour on a Malaysian bill costs RM32 against a headline rate of 44 sen.

Samsung's Galaxy Z8 Line-Up: the Fold8 Is Not the Fold7's Successor, and That Changes What You Pay

The Fold8 opens S$200 below last year's Fold7 — because it is a new shape, not the replacement. We put both generations side by side on Samsung's own Singapore and Malaysia pricing.

J&J Says the FDA Authorised Its OTTAVA Surgical Robot — Almost Nothing in the Announcement Can Be Checked Yet

The release never says "nine procedures". Both performance claims cite unpublished internal documentation. And the FDA database that would confirm any of it holds no record — normal at four days, and the reason to read carefully.

How a Luopan Actually Works: the Chinese Compass and Its 24 Mountains

An honestly-framed look at the Chinese geomantic compass as an instrument: the needle housing, the rotating plate, and the 24 Mountains ring of exactly 15 degrees each. Plus the technical honesty most feng shui writing skips — declination is near zero in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur but 3°17′ west in Hong Kong, enough to move a reading into the next sector, while a published field study put smartphone compass errors as high as 80°.

Feng Shui Kua Numbers and the Eight Mansions, Explained: One Formula, Eight Trigrams, Three New Years

An honestly-framed look at how Eight Mansions (八宅) is actually constructed: the Later Heaven trigram grid it runs on, the Kua number 命卦 derived from a birth year, and the eight "wandering-year stars" that a trigram line-change rule generates rather than decrees. Two beats do the work — the two rival Kua formulas circulating on practitioner sites are provably one formula for every year from 1900 to 2099, and the year boundary sits at the solar term Lichun, not 1 January and not Lunar New Year, which is where neighbouring systems in the same tradition quietly disagree. It explains the machinery of a cultural tradition, not fortune-telling.
