Clint Butler was serving a 17-year sentence for various crimes, including robbery and offenses involving firearms. A sentence that was supposed to end in 2024. But he had escaped from prison around midnight since November 28, 2020 and has not been tracked since. Too bad that now they have arrested him again and the reason is paradoxical. The West Midlands police in fact surprised him (the county of Birmingham in England, to be clear) while he was wandering with a friend in full lockdown. You...

We don't always think about it but there are items we use on a daily basis that contain more germs than a public toilet. These are unsuspected smartphones that, during the day, we often use with dirty hands or in outdoor environments that are not exactly clean. In Japan they decided to solve the problem by creating the first washable smartphone. It's called Digno Rafre and was created by the Japanese company Kyocera Telecom. The phone is completely waterproof: to achieve this there are no...

Post on Facebook Share on Twitter Send on Whatsapp Send on Telegram People who collect objects or works of art are often willing to spend incredible sums in order to grab the last missing piece of their collection. There are many objects collected: stamps, paintings and even video games.

Certain images are so fixed and imprinted on everyone's mind that it is not difficult to mistake them for something that closely resembles them. Think for example of the iconography of Jesus Christ : the representations of the Christian Messiah are all quite similar and recurrent. A young man with a beard and long hair often leaves no room for doubt. With this certainty, Ryan, the American boy from Utah we're about to tell you about, has decided to play a joke on his parents for Christmas. The...

After eight long years of hype and anticipation, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally officially launched. As fans would expect of a game from CD Projekt Red, the studio behind The Witcher 3, it's a massive, complex game -- and a damn good one, too. It has a surprisingly compelling story and a gigantic open world to explore in Night City. I've spent over 40 hours with the game so far. That's a lot of hours, but I still feel like I've seen only a fraction of what Cyberpunk 2077 has to offer. Still, there...

Based on the rumors we've heard so far, here's how the iPhone 12 will compare to the iPhone 11 -- and if you should upgrade. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 12 at its Oct. 13 event (tomorrow), and ship the new phones sometime in October or even November. If you're thinking about upgrading from last year's iPhone 11 to the iPhone 12, you may be wondering: What exactly is the difference going to be? We won't know for sure until the new phones are revealed on Tuesday. But we've gathered the...

GEEP Canada was supposed to dismantle them, instead. Apple has filed a lawsuit against its former contractor GEEP Canada for allegedly reselling over 100,000 iPhones, iPads and Watches that were supposed to be disassembled and recycled. “At least 11,766 pounds of Apple devices left GEEP’s premises without being destroyed — a fact that GEEP itself confirmed,” the complaint reads, according to The Logic (via The Verge). The problem was discovered after Apple audited over 500,000 iPhones,...

It's not guaranteed to be used this way. Elon Musk said the driver-facing camera in Tesla cars was to monitor future robotaxi service, but a sleuth suggests the company might be open to checking human drivers as well. Code investigator Green says they’ve found (via Electrek) the in-cabin activities Tesla’s camera is looking for. They appear to revolve around signs of distracted driving, such as phone use or looking away from the road. It also appears to have special checks for sunglasses...

Negotiations to get Minecraft's Steve into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may have been ongoing for "at least" five years. Mojang co-founder Daniel Kaplan revealed the news on Twitter. Kaplan first asked his followers to guess when discussions started about the character coming to Nintendo's Smash Bros, which prompted many teasing replies. Eventually, he confirmed in a reply that talks started "at least five" years ago. In a follow-up, Kaplan added that he has "no idea when implementation started,"...

Epic Games, the video game developer behind the mega popular online game Fortnite, just posted a video criticizing Apple for removing the game from its App Store. Using imagery directly referencing Apple's own iconic "1984" ad, Epic Games's video (titled "Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite") positions Apple as a soulless corporate entity, shouting from a screen and demanding obedience from a black and white crowd. That is, until a woman in color shows up, and throws a Fortnite axe at the screen and...
