What? Where does it say at all in the article that these woman were racist to the guys before being attacked?

Not quite a gun but close.

...Luckey said he turned to a more rudimentary but no less horrifying method of three explosive charges he usually uses “for a different project” (which he did not elaborate on) attached to the headset essentially like gun barrels. The charges are connected to a photo sensor that detects when the headset’s screen flashes red at a certain frequency during a “game over” display. Once that happens, “the charges fire, instantly destroying the brain of the user.”

The visuals remind me of that homemade suicide helmet that used a bunch of shotgun shells. That thing creeps me out from the amount of conscious effort the person put into building a device to end their life, it wasn't a spur of the moment thing.

Word of warning, DO NOT use regular Nair down there unless you are fine with potential chemical burns on your nuts for a week. It's not fun, really really not fun. I'm not even sure I would use sensitive area Nair anymore, it just doesn't seem designed for coarse pubic hair. I use a Philips Oneblade now with the body groom attachment, I've caught the skin once or twice but I've found it's way better than any other electric razor I've tried in the past and does a good job. The gap inbetween the blade and stationary bit of the razor is smaller and harder to pinch your skin in.

What you can't see in this is the guy from the Men in Black with a leaf blower.

Can prisoners deny work placements? Like do they get any say in this? I'm guessing there would be some sort of retaliation which is why they accept them, that or there's a promise of a shorter sentance or something.

Wouldn’t it be good to have the truth during investigations?

Well, yeah, but the mind is fallible. That's why eye witness testimony usually only gets a case so far, people tend to forget specifics and fill in the gaps without realizing they did.

In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

...So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

Greed is the reason, because they can. People need housing. Same way grocery stores are getting away with charging so much, people need food. The working market theoretically should fix this in time, but so far it isn't. New houses and competing grocery stores don't appear overnight. I fully agree with you, rentals have their place and there can be many benefits, but without proper oversight and rent control this was always going to be the outcome - squeeze as much cash out of people until you literally can't anymore. I don't think there is some secret collusion going on between landlords (at least in most cases), there's really no need. Just watch rental prices, then when the area average becomes higher than you charge for your unit, you raise yours slightly above that. By doing that you've now ever so slightly increased that area's average, now other landlords will raise their prices slighy higher, causing other landlords to raise their prices slightly higher, rinse and repeat. Note that I might be completely off the mark here but this lines up with my experiences at least.

If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don't own a Roku now.
