When we reminisce about the glory days of the FPS, we tend to focus on the ‘90s. The original Doom. Half-Life. Quake. System Shock. These are the shooters that pioneered the genre, and defined the PC platform. But the boomer shooter trend is pushing forward, and the greatest FPS games of the early ‘00s are finally getting some attention. A combination of the original (and best) Prey, Monolith’s FEAR, Doom 3, and a little BioShock, a new shooter with a throwback feel is available to try now on Steam.

The first four Nerf N-Series blasters shipped to reviewers. When I was a kid, “It’s Nerf or nothing” meant you couldn’t find a better dart blaster. Starting today, it means you’ll have to buy Hasbro’s own overpriced darts if you buy Hasbro blasters for your kids. The company is revealing its new Nerf N-Series lineup today, and a new “N1” dart it’s calling “the future” of the Nerf brand — a future where Hasbro blasters for 8- to 14-year-olds only fire Hasbro darts that cost three to five times the competition. Lose a dart? That’ll be 25 cents, because only official darts have the patented nub that pushes a safety mechanism out of the way. Nerf says it literally built 1,000 different darts to get the range, accuracy, and safety it wanted. The integral nub... Continue reading…

China dominates global bike manufacturing, with imports accounting for 97 percent of bikes purchased in the US, according to one report. Indeed, China has captured some 86.3 percent of the US bike market. And now tariffs threaten that market. Congressman Earl Blumenauer sees an opportunity. The 75-year-old Democrat from bike-friendly Portland, Oregon, is introducing a new bill that aims to re-shore domestic bike manufacturing by stealing it back from China while also helping protect electric bikes from high tariffs that could put them out of reach for many Americans. China dominates... Continue reading…

Today, DuckDuckGo unveils its AI Chat, an anonymous way to access popular AI chatbots, such as Open AI's GPT 3.5 Turbo, Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku, and two open-source models (Meta Llama 3 and Mistral's Mixtral 8x7B). According to a press release, DuckDuckGo AI can be used for free within a daily limit and easily switched off. The privacy-first company says this allows users to have private chats while no AI training is performed during the conversations. The company says it created DuckDuckGo AI to continue its mission that protecting people's privacy online can be easy. "We believe people should be able to use the Internet and other digital tools without feeling like they need to sacrifice their privacy in the process. So, we meet people where they are, developing products that add a layer of privacy to the everyday things they do online. That’s been our approach across the board," says Nirzar Pangarkar, DuckDuckGo's lead designer. How to enjoy DuckDuck Go AI Chat? To access DuckDuckGo AI Chat, you can access duck.ai or duckduckgo.com/chat. Once you open these pages, you can pick your chat model and start using it just like any other chat interface. The company explains that just like searches on DuckDuckGo, "all chats are completely anonymous: they cannot be traced back to any one individual." DuckDuckGo also removes your IP address by using its own, making the platform think the requests are coming from the company, not from you. Using the Fire Button, you can clear the chat and start over. The company says it doesn't save or store chats. However, the underlying model's providers may temporarily store chats, but this doesn't create ties back to you since all metadata is removed. DuckDuckGo AI Chat is free within a daily limit, but the company plans to keep the current level of access free and explore a paid plan for access to higher limits and more advanced chat models.

Nestled between the Atlas Mountains and the Nile River, amidst wild beast and unforgiving terrain, Libya was a place of wonder and uniqueness in the ancient world. Many associate this land with the great Amazons, female warriors who proved formidable opponents to Greek armies. Although their legends are repeatedly dismissed as myth, there can be no debating that from the ancient’s perspective, this land was ruled entirely by women. Among the tales ancient historians and the like told of North Africa, stand two rather remarkable sister tribes: the Machlyes and Auses. Both situated along Lake Tritonis in the Northwest region of Libya, they were often described as having an ambiguous gender, both masculine and feminine characteristics. Gaius Plinius Secundus, otherwise known as Pliny the Elder, referred to the Machlyes specifically as “hermaphrodites.” …there have been found ordinary Hermaphrodites, called Androgyni, of a double nature, and resembling both sexes, male and female, who have carnal knowledge one of another interchangeably by turns.” (Pliny the Elder, VII, ii, 15) Essentially, as Pliny claimed, the people of the Machlyes tribe could function both as men and women, intersexually, possibly even going as far as asexual reproduction, but that is not clear in his writings. Pliny further elaborated that Aristotle had said their masculine and feminine sides were split right down the middle of their bodies, with a female breast on the left and a male breast on the right. Herodotus mentioned that they wore their hair long, cut and styled in such a way that for the Machlyes, it hung down their backs, and for the Auseans, down their front. Albeit that these descriptions are unusual; perhaps, to some extent, whether accurate or not, it may reflect a vague interpretation of a culture not well-understood.
