A gutsy motorist faced down a gun-toting carjacker in Maryland earlier this week and successfully fought back with his bare hands. Anne Arundel County Police said a male brandishing a firearm approached a 32-year-old man around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at a Marathon gas station in the 5700 block of Ritchie Highway in Brooklyn Park and demanded his car keys. Brooklyn Park is about 20 minutes south of Baltimore. 'Good. Fight back against thugs.' Police said the victim initially complied but then quickly rushed the suspect, causing him to fall backward, after which the suspect's gun discharged. The bullet struck the windshield of the victim’s vehicle, police said, adding that the suspect then fled the scene on the back of a black moped another unidentified person was driving. Officers conducted a search of the area but couldn't find the suspects, police said, adding that the victim did not report any injuries. Northern District detectives are investigating and request that those with information to contact 410-222-6135 or the Tip Line at 410-222-4700. How are observers reacting? Commenters underneath WMAR-TV's Facebook post about the incident seemed please with the motorist's actions: "Good job," one commenter said. "Tired of criminals terrorizing people." "Good," another user declared. "Fight back against thugs." "Outstanding," another user exclaimed. "The question is: WHY does the average citizen have to even deal with this level of crime???" another commenter wondered. "The wrong 'leaders' and legislators are in office," another user wrote. "The Constitution states that we have a right to protect ourselves, but we also have the right to feel reasonably safe. Maryland residents are being failed miserably and gaslighted." Like Blaze News?

As one of the best handheld gaming PC options available, Lenovo's first gaming handheld has long been a tempting option, with its detachable controllers, large 8.8-inch screen, and powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU.

Image: MKBHD Marques Brownlee published a video on Friday addressing the criticisms around Panels, his new wallpaper app, saying that he and the team “failed on the price front” at launch. The app received an outpour of criticism from fans, both on the MKBHD YouTube channel and across social platforms. Discussing the app, Brownlee admitted it needed work. “If I was reviewing this app, I would not have been very nice,” he said. One of the primary criticisms of the app was that the premium “Panels Plus” subscription cost $11.99 per month or $49.99 per year to remove ads and have full access to the available collections of wallpapers. To make things better, Brownlee and the team have been improving the free experience by getting rid of in-feed ads,... Continue reading…

The Thrustmaster T598 features a Direct Axial Drive powered by an axial flux electric motor. | Image: Thrustmaster Thrustmaster has announced a new steering wheel base that makes the company’s direct drive technology available on consoles for the first time. It also introduces a new electric motor design — already in use on high-end hybrid sports cars like the Ferrari SF90 — to the world of sim racing, improving realism while also shrinking the hardware.

Although it is compatible with both PCs and consoles, it’s limited for use with only the PlayStation 4 and 5.

Illustration: The Verge Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri is acknowledging recent mistakes in Meta’s moderation processes on Threads and Instagram. For example, Meta unexpectedly deleted my account this week because it thought I was underage, the company locked my colleague’s account because she joked about dying in a heatwave, and others have seen their posts disappear with no clear reason why. “Threads Moderation Failures” has been trending this week — putting more pressure on Meta’s moderation processes. Now Mosseri admits that Meta is having problems with those processes and has publicly posted that acknowledgment on Threads. He explains there’s a “tool” that broke, which apparently did not show human reviewers “sufficient context” before they made posts and... Continue reading…

Image: Imgur Memes on the image-hosting service Imgur “containing references to adult humor” will no longer be considered mature, the company announced in a post addressing changes to its content moderation policies. Imgur has been an important part of meme history, with its creator making the service in 2009 as a “gift to Reddit.” At that time, most platforms didn’t host their own images, so you had to upload them instead on third-party platforms. I remember seeing Imgur a lot on the Something Awful forums back in the day, too, though following other policy changes last year that led to the removal of inactive content and pornography, users scrambled to save old images. The changes announced this week could mean that you see spicier memes on the... Continue reading…
