Image via Jasper Ellens DJI may be about to upend the world of aerial photography yet again — by introducing a drone with drastically improved battery life and two cameras instead of one. DroneDJ and leaker Jasper Ellens are both independently reporting that the Mavic 3 Pro is real, coming this November, and it sounds like it’ll have some significant improvements over the three-year-old Mavic 2 Pro and even the Mavic Air 2S introduced earlier this year. While DJI’s standard-sized drones have typically topped out at just half an hour in the air before requiring a battery swap or recharge, DroneDJ’s source says we’re now looking at up to 46 minutes of flight time. And that’s despite the additional...

Update 12:25PM ET, September 23rd: Walmart’s console restock didn’t get off to a good start.

Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) is a man with a plan.Image: Apple TV+In 1966, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy was voted the best science fiction series of all time at the Hugo Awards. Other series have certainly surpassed it since then, although it’s still considered the work that codified the genre. Despite its fame, because the series is an epic on a galactic level told over the course of 500 years or so, with dozens of characters, conflicts, and stories, no one’s figured out how to bring Foundation into live-action. Apple TV+’s new Foundation series hasn’t figured it out either.Foundation the TV series is not Foundation the book series. There are a few bones of the original story in there, sure,...

Since that is tomorrow, technically that means if you stay up until (ahem) midnight PT, you can start watching it tonight. And if there’s any scenario in which staying up all night on a school night to binge all seven episodes of a new Netflix series feels acceptable—Midnight Mass just might be it. But even if you’re not going for the first-night binge, we’re setting up the spoiler zone so that fans can come back to this post to talk about the mysteries, the...

Valve promised it would work with anti-cheat software makers EAC and BattlEye to ensure some of the most popular games will run on its upcoming Steam Deck Linux-based gaming handheld, and one of those companies is now officially on board — Epic Games announced today that its Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) now supports Linux and Mac. Not only that, it’s specifically set up to work with the Proton and Wine compatibility layers that Valve’s relying on to bring Windows games to the Deck. While developers would still need to patch their games, this immediately means some of the most popular games on Steam are now theoretically within reach, including Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight and War Thunder, which are all among...

Andy Shauf “Spanish on the Beach”
The character in “Spanish on the Beach” is a guy looking back on a vacation with his ex-girlfriend with enough hindsight to see exactly how the events of that trip foreshadowed the impending end of their relationship, but also a wistful nostalgia – “I wished it could be permanent.” Andy Shauf’s lyrics are plainspoken and economical as they glide along his melodies but they convey volumes of subtext about this guy and these fairly banal anecdotes. The third verse, in which he recalls fantasizing about a purposefully obnoxious public wedding proposal, is funny but also clever in sliding right by a crucial detail: “if I had bought the ring.” It does a lot to...

On the 19th floor of the Intercontinental Los Angeles Hotel, one possible version of the city’s future is playing out.
In a dark room with speakers behind every surface, on a big screen, a simulation of a flying car comes in for a landing above a busy street. You can hear the hum of the simulated motors all around. You can feel this imaginary thing passing through the air overhead. 
This is where the design and engineering firm Arup is working with LA’s Department of Transportation and NASA to model the sound of urban air vehicles — flying cars. All this math, physics, audio calculations of  soon-to-be-made engines are all in service to one question:
Will these things drive us nuts?

West Hollywood is poised to have the strictest COVID-19 vaccine mandates in LA. Starting October 7, LA County will require proof of vaccination to enter indoor bars, breweries, wineries, and nightclubs. Starting October 11, West Hollywood will add indoor restaurants, gyms, yoga studios, nail salons, and more to that list.

Durant deux heures sur BFM-TV, le candidat de La France insoumise et le polémiste d’extrême droite ont étalé leurs désaccords. Eric Zemmour laisse planer le doute sur une éventuelle candidature à la présidentielle.

Bon, pour commencer, rappel : pour tout ce qui est du social, je suis sur la même ligne exactement que Jean-Luc Melenchon. L’État-Providence obèse d’Éric Zemmour, ce n’est pas ma vision.
JLM et EZ se sont bien battus : le débat était très équilibré. Sauf vers la fin où EZ a gagné de plus en plus de terrain, JLM reconnaissant de plus en plus souvent qu’EZ avait raison, et sur un ton de plus en plus bon enfant, de moins en moins combatif. Apparaissait de plus en plus clairement chez JLM qu’ils se donnent du “tu” dans la vie de tous les jours, mais ça n’apparaissait pas chez EZ, ce qui lui donnait un avantage .
Pourquoi ce recul chez JLM ? Parce qu’EZ marquait de points en soulignant...

Over the past two decades, online piracy has proven a massive challenge for the entertainment industries.
Some copyright holders have tried to go after individual pirates in court but, increasingly, third-party intermediaries are targeted as well. There are several lawsuits pending in US Courts, where rightsholders accused Internet providers of not doing enough to stop piracy. One of the main allegations is that ISPs fail to terminate accounts of repeat infringers in ‘appropriate circumstances’, as is required under the DMCA. These lawsuits were pioneered by music companies, which had some success on this front, including a $1 billion verdict against Cox. More recently, however, a group of filmmakers...

Benjamin Franklin is quoted as having once said: “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” While the attribution may be apocryphal, there’s a degree of truth in the statement. Because while making you wiser may be beyond the purview of an earlier wake up time, there are definitely health and career benefits to waking up earlier.  There’s just one problem with it all: if you’re not a morning person, waking up early sucks. The body’s internal clock is not always your friend, and trying to get your circadian rhythm in tune with your life can be a challenge. However, there is good news! Once you get used to it, waking up early can actually be amazing! To wake up early...

Daniel Foote, the U.S. special envoy to Haiti has resigned, condemning the Biden administration’s decision to fly thousands of Haitian migrants back to their home country. He said he would “not be associated with the United States’ inhumane and counterproductive decision'' to return people to a country ravaged by an earthquake last month and political instability tied to the assassination of Haiti’s president in July.
Since their recent arrival to the U.S., thousands of Haitians have been flown back to the island country. Some migrants have been admitted into the country, but others are still waiting in a squalid encampment outside of Del Rio, Texas. Social media has been outraged by images of border...

Daniel Foote says US policy on Haiti is "flawed" and sending migrants back is "counterproductive".

Even as US presidents have set the tone for the US’s action on climate change policy, much of the action happens in the states. What are these politicians doing to help—or hinder—climate policy?The average American isn’t paying much attention. Fewer than 20% of US citizens can name their state legislators, while one-third don’t know their governor, according to a study by John Hopkins University. But state senators and representatives are often the ones making decisions about land use, extractive industries, energy efficiency, and more with the most immediate impact on constituents’ quality of life.While opinion polls consistently show a majority of Americans believe that climate change is a...

Chalk this up to another side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.In its latest bulletin, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reports that 4,385 unruly-passenger incidents have occurred on flights since January, with 85% of the altercations involving face masks. The agency has launched formal investigations into 789 cases, which is more than quadruple the number of incidents in 2020.One reason for the spike in investigations is that the FAA established a zero-tolerance policy in January, substituting warnings and counseling with legal action and fines of up to $37,000 per incident against any traveler who assaults, threatens, intimidates, or interferes with an airline crew member.Read the rest of this...

"Mélenchon contre Zemmour, l’affiche est alléchante. Car les deux hommes sont cultivés et maîtrisent les codes de la télévision. Pour le reste, tout les oppose. Mais s’agit-il d’un événement politique ou simplement d’un choc médiatique ?"

The first thing to understand about overcoming depression is that no matter how impossible it seems, or how far gone you feel, it is possible. Every choice you make matters and can have an impact on how your life unfolds. We all know the stories of famous people such as Kurt Cobain and Avicii who succumbed to this illness, but the truth is that YOU CAN overcome depression. Because depression is complex, presenting with a wide range of symptoms and severity levels, it affects everyone differently. For this reason, it makes sense that there is no cure-all formula. That said, fortunately there is a ton of research on lifestyle choices and treatment options that can help in relieving depression symptoms or or...

These days, it almost feels like life's the full-time grind while work is the escape. Her everyday struggle Angel, an employee at Modell's sporting goods store will tell you that. While training a new associate named Joey during the filming of a documentary, she confided to him about her struggles. "I love this job... but it hasn't always been this way," Angel confesses. When Angel turned 25, she became pregnant and lost her old job as restaurant manager. We've been homeless for a long time.

To accomplish her goals took years of perseverance and hard work. She spent her days in Smoky Mountain When Sophy Ron was a child, she spent 8 years essentially living in a notorious Cambodian garbage dump called Steng Meanchey, also known as "Smoky Mountain." Every day, Ron would join thousands of people picking through the garbage amidst toxic fumes in hopes of finding food and recyclables to sell. In a day's work, she'd earn about 0.50 cents a day, enough for a few cups of rice to share with her parents and six siblings.

Trips in ride-share cars are more damaging to the climate, and impose a greater cost to society in terms of traffic congestion and public safety, than journeys in private vehicles, according to a new study from engineering and public policy researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.The researchers gathered public data on rides with Uber, Lyft, and other services in Austin, Chicago, New York, and cities in California. Using a computer model to simulate 100,000 trips, they painted a representative picture of journey lengths, the time spent in between rides (known as “deadheading”), and the types of vehicles used by drivers.What is deadheading?Read the rest of this story on qz.com.
