With newcomers such as Arena Breakout Infinite, Level Zero Extraction, and Delta Forc all shaping up as challengers to the mighty Escape From Tarkov, the tactical FPS space feels rather busy. Yet with a million copies sold and a greater focus on a persistent, PvE-led experience, Gray Zone Warfare is here to stay. Fresh off its early success, the team is preparing to deliver a game-changing overhaul with the introduction of a day/night cycle. At Gamescom, I sat down with Madfinger PR director Rick Lagnese and community manager Corey ‘TheDevilDogGamer’ Smith for an extended look at the new update.

The Press Finally Notice Kamala Harris Is Playing Them for Fools

The Politics of Emotional Manipulation: Kamala Harris Is More of a Drug Dealer Than a Political Candidate

Midea is delivering some of the first cordless kitchen appliances with its new Celestial Flex Series collection. | Image: Midea Days after the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced it had finalized its Ki wireless power transfer standard, Midea has debuted its first line of cordless kitchen appliances that wirelessly draw all the power they need using the Ki induction technology. Cooktops that use electromagnetic induction to heat pots and pans have been available in kitchens for years, but Midea is one of the first companies to leverage that technology to wirelessly deliver power to appliances. Its new Celestial Flex Series includes a blender, steamer, and kettle that simply need to be placed on top of an induction plate to run. Midea is a member of the WPC and participated in the development of the Ki standard, so it makes sense that it would be one of the... Continue reading…

Image: Laura Normand / The Verge Former President Donald Trump says that if reelected, he’ll create a government efficiency task force — and that Elon Musk has already agreed to lead it. During a speech in New York on Thursday, Trump said the new efficiency commission would conduct a “complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make recommendations for “drastic reforms.” Musk’s companies are recipients of government spending, with records showing Tesla has received nearly 13 percent of the EV charging awards granted as part of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure law, according to Politico. Meanwhile, SpaceX has received billions in federal funding since its inception. As we noted after Musk endorsed Trump in July, that came despite... Continue reading…

Image: Instagram Instagram is adding a handful of new features to direct messages, including photo editing capabilities and stickers. Users will be able to edit photos by drawing on them or adding stickers before sending them via DM, similar to editing features that already exist for Instagram Stories. The company also said users will be able to make their own custom stickers from existing photos and use them in DMs. Put together, the photo editing tools in chats are expanding to be closer to Stories. Instagram is also adding new chat themes that change the look and design of DMs, like a fall theme or one promoting a new album by pop star Sabrina Carpenter. Users can also now add a birthday cake icon to Notes, the away status-like blurb that is visible... Continue reading…

I told you recently that the absence of iPhone 16 price leaks is good news for buyers. Unlike the previous two iPhone cycles, there haven't been any reports to suggest Apple would increase prices across the board. The iPhone 16 Pro is the only exception, as some reports said this model might get the same "price hike" treatment as the iPhone 15 Pro Max did last year. I put price hike in quotes because it wasn't technically a price increase. The cheapest iPhone 15 Pro Max costs $1,199, which is $100 more than the cheapest iPhone 14 Pro Max from the prior year. But instead of increasing prices, Apple just removed the 128GB storage option from its lineup. Instead, the 256GB version became the base model, and its price remained unchanged. A last-minute iPhone 16 specs leak suggests the same thing will happen with the iPhone 16 Pro this year. Apple's typical $999 price point might be replaced by a $1,099 entry price because Apple will bump the storage of the base iPhone 16 Pro to 2565GB. Continue reading...

Archaeologists have uncovered ten ancient burial mounds, known as kurgans, in Kazakhstan's Ulytau region, with some displaying distinctive "mustaches." These kurgans, which likely date back to the Early and Medieval Nomadic periods, were found by a team led by Zhanbolat Utubaev from the Margulan Institute of Archaeology. Three of the kurgans are unique in that they feature two ridges of stones that extend outward, giving them the appearance of mustaches, said Zhanbolat Utubaev, an archaeologist at the Margulan Institute of Archaeology in an email response to Live Science. This distinctive feature has led to their classification as "mustached kurgans," a type of burial mound that is fairly common in central Kazakhstan. More than 400 such structures have been documented across the region. The sizes of these mounds vary significantly, ranging from about 10 to 50 feet (3 to 15 meters) in diameter, Utubaev explained.

Two presidential election models suggesting different results indicate one common message: The upcoming debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris could be pivotal.

The 14-year-old suspect in a shooting at a Georgia high school that killed four people and his father will both stay in custody following back-to-back court hearings Friday morning where their lawyers declined to seek bail.
