These 7 Great Gaming Laptop Deals Are Still Available

Among the products still available at discounted prices are gaming laptops, with seven laptops in particular standing out of the pack. Some of these laptops may not be considered “gaming” laptops in the traditional sense, but they would still work for lower-end gaming and would still be able to play many modern titles, just not at higher settings.

These Nasa Tools Let You Explore Mars In 3D Track Perseverance Rover

Perseverance touched down on the red planet in February this year, landing in the 28-mile-wide Jezero Crater. The first interactive experience—called “Explore with Perseverance”—is a 3D simulation of the Martian surface that enables you to view what the rover sees as it travels around the red planet. While the rover explores Mars, the images it takes are mapped onto the virtual terrain of the simulation to fill in the landscape of the Jezero Crater landing site....

They Re Back

A splendid political gambit: emotional, self-defining and a deft swat at the hapless baby boomers now running the show. And who knows? It may even be true – although it certainly didn’t sound true the way he delivered it, diffident and constricted, swallowing the emotion, shying away from the rhetoric. It sounded like Bob Dole trying to sound like a new man, the sort of guy who has epiphanies. Then again, his lack of conviction probably didn’t hurt him much: he was among the believers....

Thieves Steal More Than 1 Billion From Largest Treasure Hoard In Europe

Thieves are believed to have stolen jewels worth upwards of a billion dollars from Dresden’s historic Grünes Gewölbe museum, which translates to the “Green Vault,” although it has yet to be confirmed exactly what was taken. According to Bild, perpetrators are thought to have ignited a fire at a nearby power distributor at 5 a.m. to cut the museum’s electricity supply, which in turn disabled alarms. Thieves are then said to have bent iron bars on a ground-floor window to break into the historic museum....

Thinking Of Using Icloud Backups On Your Iphone Read This First

What Happened? Sparling, on Twitter, said he backed up his iPad to iCloud and erased it late in 2020, so that a family member could use this iPad for teaching. He then bought a new iPad more than six months later and tried to restore the iCloud backup. This is when he realized that his iCloud backup was gone and that there was no way for him to regain access to years of data that wasn’t saved anywhere else....

Third Test England Slip To 156 7 At Lunch Against India

Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who opened the proceedings for the hosts with pacer Umesh Yadav, struck twice to give India the upper hand. Jadeja in his very first over of the day, trapped night-watchman Gareth Batty (0) plumb in front before dismissing make-shift opener Joe Root (78) just before the lunch break. Off-spinner Jayant Yadav then piled on England’s misery by dismissing danger-man Jos Buttler (18). At lunch, regular opener Haseeb Hameed (13), who came at No....

Thirsting U.S.A. A Mixology Baedeker

New York sophisticates are knocking back Cosmopolitans: lemon-vodka martinis with a jot of cranberry juice. Like politics, the homemade ate at Slick Willie’s bar in Washington, D.C., makes strange bedfellows. Chicago’s top toddy is the Red Hot (pepper vodka and cinnamon schnapps). Soigne Miami Beach pioneers now suffering tourist throngs seek relief in a Hollywood-vodka, raspberry-liqueur and cranberry-juice shooters. Pals in Atlanta sip Gator Bites: fishbowls of lemonade, vodka and blue Curacao....

This Activity Can Help Employees Find Their Shared Values

However, when you mix groups of people who have different core values, conflicts are going to happen. For example, the people who value emotional strength may clash with those who value qualities that support professional growth and ROI. This can lead to opposing approaches to tasks and team goals. Because such values are such a deep part of people’s day-to-day lives, such conflicts may seem irresolvable. But if several members of your team—or people across multiple teams—frequently lock horns because of these differences, there’s an exercise that might help them find common ground....

This Borderlands 3 Glitch Is The Fastest Way To Farm Legendaries

To note, this Borderlands 3 exploit requires the use of Amara the Siren. While having access to this Borderlands 3 Vault Hunter will preclude many players from being able to immediately enact the glitch, the sheer number of BL3 legendaries that fans can farm using this method may actually make leveling up a Siren worth it. That said, it is likely that Gearbox Software will patch this Borderlands 3 glitch in short order, and players are thus advised to act on it quickly....

This Brilliant Comedic Take On Star Trek Is More Relevant Than Ever

In Galaxy Quest, the cast of a short-lived sci-fi show that has achieved cult status find themselves stuck running the fan convention circuit and doing commercials, unable to escape the shadow of their long since canceled show. They’re doing yet another fan gathering when a group of aliens, believing the show to be a historical record instead of pulp sci-fi, recruit the actors to aid them in fighting off a very real interstellar menace....

This Doom Mod Makes The Game Play And Feel Like An Aliens Inspired Shooter

As spotted by PCGamesN, a modder called Dithered Output has been working for around two years on a new add-on for Doom called “Siren.” Releasing a trailer back in 2020, with a demo being available to play on the creator’s Itch.io page. What makes this mod stand out is that it changes the game to such an extent that it almost doesn’t look like a standard Doom game. In fact, it looks almost like something fans would see in an Aliens adaptation, which includes rooms full of Xenomorph-style eggs....

This Goodbye Is A Bad Buy

First, a rhetorical question: don’t these Broadway big shots have any common sense or critical self-perception? Making a musical out of Simon’s 1977 movie was, if not an immediately lousy idea, certainly a perilous one. Things change fast in this kaleidoscope culture, including our neuroses: the collision of two unstable showbiz personalities in the New York cyclotron worked OK 15 years ago, but it needed updating badly. It hasn’t gotten it....

This Horror Film Is Going Viral For An Eerie True Crime Connection

The body of 21 year old Elisa Lam was found at the infamous Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles on February 19, 2013. She had been missing for close to 2 weeks and was discovered in the water tank atop the hotel after guests had been complaining about the water. Ultimately, the case was ruled an accident, but the circumstances are kind of strange and some remain suspicious. She was found nude, with her belongings and clothes in the tank with her, and the last time she was seen before her death was some very odd elevator security videos....

This Is The Xbox Series X Logo

It probably won’t come as too much of a surprise that the bulk of the logo is taken up by a big ‘X’. The word ‘series’ is in there too, which checks out. It comes in black-and-white, with no sign of the trademark Xbox green, but there’s still time yet. Microsoft has in a sense been surprisingly late to reveal the logo. It was the first thing that Sony teased of its console design, back at CES in January, taking to the stage to unveil… the PS4 logo, but with a 5....

This Is What Christopher Nolan S Recent Films Have Been Missing

Nolan’s Dunkirk and Tenet demonstrate once again that he is the master of surpassing boundaries by creating immersive worlds full of intricate ideas and practical sets that are able to grasp audiences’ attention. One being a World War II epic that depicts the historic Dunkirk evacuation while the other is a mind-bending espionage thriller dealing with concepts of inversion, both films provide the exhilarating tension and action many expect from the director but lack in a different area: engaging characters....

This Is Why Forza 5 Features No Weather Effects Or Night Racing

While the game is beautiful and features the exciting new AI Drivatars (NPC-controlled opponents based on profiles of other actual players, including you friends list), it’s been labelled a grind by critics, mainly due to the lack of tracks. Adding to that issue is the lack of variety in the available courses, since despite being a visual-focused title, features no weather effects and no time-of-day options on tracks. Want to play at night in the rain on the latest and greatest?...

This Is Why Google Didn T Acquire Twitch

So what happened? Why did this rumored Google deal fall through? Did the rumors have it all wrong? That isn’t to say Google didn’t try to strike a deal amidst antitrust concerns; they just couldn’t come up with a suitable “breakup deal” if the government found the union unlawful. Who would get what if the acquisition fell apart shortly after its announcement? Obviously, those antitrust concerns stemmed from the fact that Google also happens to own YouTube, Twitch’s major competitor in the online streaming space....

James was always considered the smartest of the six Murdoch kids. After a rough start with News Corp. at 15 (as an intern at the Sydney Mirror, he was snapped napping at a press conference by a rival paper), he studied film and history at Harvard. He left without graduating in 1995 to cofound Rawkus Records, a hip-hop label. James and his partners then sold Rawkus. The buyer? News Corp....
