DETROIT (AP) — Majority-Black Detroit has become the largest U.S. city to challenge its figures from the 2020 census following a national head count in which the U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges that a higher percentage of African Americans were undercounted than last decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Leaders of Michigan's largest city, which is more than three-quarters Black, had questioned the results of the 2020 census since last December when they released a report suggesting that more than 8% of the occupied homes in 10 Detroit neighborhoods may have been undercounted. Detroit filed its challenge late last week, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. City officials didn't immediately offer comment or provide documentation on their appeal. The 2020 census data showed Detroit with 639,111 residents, while estimates from 2019 put the city’s po[CENSORED]tion at 670,052 residents. A drop of 31,000 residents would be “really implausible,” Jeffrey Morenoff, a University of Michigan sociology professor who helped conduct a study on the undercount for the city, said when the report was released in December. Detroit is no stranger to census challenges. Then-Mayor Coleman Young sued after the 1990 census, and the numbers were later adjusted. Even though the overall U.S. po[CENSORED]tion was missed by a small percentage, 0.24%, during a once-a-decade head count challenged by the pandemic, natural disasters and political interference from the Trump administration, some minority groups were overlooked at greater rates than the previous decade. The Black po[CENSORED]tion was undercounted by 3.3%, those who identified as some other race had a 4.3% undercount, almost 5% of the Hispanic po[CENSORED]tion was missed and more than 5.6% of American Indians living on reservations were undercounted. Detroit is among almost two dozen cities and counties that have challenged their census figures so far. States and municipalities have until the middle of next year to appeal their figures through the Census Bureau's County Question Resolution operation. Challenges are rarely successful, but the outcome could determine whether the cities and counties get their fair share when it comes to the distribution of $1.5 trillion in annual federal funding. The overwhelmingly majority of the municipalities challenging their census figures are small towns, with more than half of them coming from the rural South. About half a dozen have said in their challenges that prisons in their communities were overlooked during the count. Residents of prisons, nursing homes and college dorms — also known as group quarters —- were among the most difficult people to count during the 2020 census since students on campus were sent home when the pandemic began in the U.S. in March 2020, and prisons and nursing homes went into lockdowns against the spread of the coronavirus. Because of the difficulties in counting these residents, the Census Bureau last month created a separate program for challenges of group quarter counts. Leaders of municipalities making the challenges said an incorrect count could cost them state and federal grants. Mayor Joe Sparks of Bennett, Iowa, said he is worried that the town won't get money for two emergency power generators from the Federal Emergency Management Agency if its census numbers aren't corrected. The town's po[CENSORED]tion went from 405 in 2010 to 347 in 2020, “and that is very hard for me to believe," Sparks said. “The reduced po[CENSORED]tion numbers will affect Bennett residents adversely," he said. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/detroit-is-largest-city-to-challenge-2020-census-numbers/ar-AAVQYYh

Cool on paper, useful in practice? YouTube's latest social feature is letting users share videos to Snapchat as stickers. If you liked a video that a friend or family member might be interested in, you can immediately share it via Snapchat in the form of a sticker slapped onto the snap. The social feature, available on both iOS and Android smartphones, pulls up the Snapchat app when you select it from the 'Share' menu on a YouTube video. A handy box containing the video's thumbnail and title will appear on your snap. And after you've taken a photo, you can adjust the thumbnail's size, angle and location on the snap. Then, when you've sent your snap to a friend, they can open the YouTube video by simply tapping the link embedded in the thumbnail. The new sharing process eschews the need to directly copy a link from YouTube for pasting into Snapchat. Instead, one tap of that Share button is all you need to transfer the video to your snap, with all info and the link contained in one convenient snippet. Within the confines of Snapchat, this new YouTube video-sharing feature sounds great. It requires fewer taps and link management and means Snapchat doesn't have to rely on your clipboard for copied content. Being able to customize the embedded video's placement, size, and angle is nice, too. But are Snapchat users really going to be impressed by this feature, and more importantly, will people use it? You still have to create a snap to host the YouTube snippet. That in itself could be a decently lengthy process, depending on your own preferences and attention to detail when it comes to taking snaps. In this case, it would be much quicker and easier to simply share a YouTube link through more conventional social platforms, like Whatsapp, Discord, or even Twitter and Facebook depending on the group of contacts you wish to reach. It's still a win for avid Snapchat users, of course, especially those who use it as their primary social platform. We can even see there being some particularly creative uses of this YouTube video sharing feature. One example that comes to mind would be an online merchant taking a snap of their product and inserting a YouTube snippet that the user can open and learn more about the product. Therein lies what we feel is the biggest issue with this update. It's harmless, and definitely doesn't detract from the Snapchat experience. However, it's also very situational, will work better for some more than others, and isn't something we see a swathe of Snapchat users flocking to in order to share their favorite YouTube videos with friends. There are quicker ways of doing that, even if those methods aren't quite as fun or creative.

Lockdowns measures are now spreading to areas surrounding Shanghai. A report published business and financial publication Commercial Times in Taiwan today warns of a new spate of epidemic prevention measures in China having a big impact on laptop production. According to the site, laptop, TV and iPhone makers in Kunshan are going to have to alter their operations, which "may seriously damage the global electronics industry." Measures that the government introduced in Kunshan, which is located just outside of Shanghai, include controls on the movement of labor, implementing work from home where possible and other regulations and restrictions. The recent Covid outbreak in Shanghai has been a global story; last week it affected TSMC, ASE and Wafer Works employees. The latest spate of infections is seemingly more difficult for the government to keep under control, resulting in Kunshan joining the areas implementing epidemic prevention measures. USA Job from Home | Search AdsClick Here Trio of Major Contract Laptop Makers in Affected Town Kunshan is a major manufacturing hub for several Taiwanese computer companies, particularly the well known contract laptop manufacturers Compal, Pegatron and Wistron, as well as AUO (monitors) and Nanya (semiconductors including DRAM). There are also several PCB production factories in the area. Compal, Pegatron and Wistron might not exactly be household names, but those companies make and design products for many of the biggest laptop brands. For example Compal has made laptops for brands such as Apple, Acer, Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba, HP, and Fujitsu. Pegatron, founded by Asus, makes / has made laptops for companies like Asus, Apple, Lenovo and Microsoft. Wistron, spun off from Acer, is another contract device and has made laptops for Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer and Xiaomi. Other major laptop makers not mentioned in today's report include Quanta, Inventec and Foxconn. The affected companies have factories in multiple locations, so the warning of "serious damage," may be somewhat extreme. The extent of it will also depends on how long this wave of Covid infections lasts. The Commercial Times notes that the current round of measures will be revised on April 6 (they started on April 1). Earlier today 10,000 extra health workers and 2,000 from the military were sent into Shanghai to help with mass testing and other measures. The situation is developing, and we shall see if China can get back to 'zero-Covid'.

Enter the Dragon will feature more than 90 upcoming and released games from studios in China and Taiwan. A week-long showcase of PC games created by Chinese developers is headed to Steam later this month. Called Enter the Dragon, the online event will feature more than 90 games from studios in China and Taiwan, including both indie releases and "the latest blockbusters." Enter the Dragon was created primarily as a response to restrictions on international travel caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has made it more difficult for Chinese developers to introduce their games to global audiences. "A number of studios in Mainland China and Taiwan rely on getting their games in front of the global gaming community at events to build their fanbase, gain exposure and gather feedback early on," said Jeff Huang, head of publishing at Enter the Dragon organizer Pixmain. "Even after two years, there are still restrictions on travel and very few event opportunities. We’re hoping Enter the Dragon will fill a need by offering developers and publishers a chance to take their products to the virtual stage and gain visibility globally." Some of the games that will feature in Enter the Dragon, like the languid 2019 sandbox sim My Time At Portia, have been around for awhile, while other projects are upcoming—for instance, the sequel to that game, My Time At Sandrock. Other games appearing in the event that caught my eye include the lush city-builder Ballads of Hongye, the physics-based tactics game Extremely Realistic Siege Warfare Simulator, the "musician simulation" Concerto on White, and Detained: Too Good for School, a game about "a school girl who doesn't obey the rules" that I think deserves attention based solely on this slice of the description: Explore the open world, pick a fight with street mobs, work part-time in a club and then spend all your money in a jiffy, and enjoy a hot date. Your choices will eventually shape the future of the city. It's the last bit that really sells it for me—what the hell kind of city is this? Enter the Dragon will include an opening night show, publisher spotlights with "virtual stage spots," and appearances from Twitch streamers from around the world. Developers and publishers such as bilibili, Lightning Games, Yooreka Studio, Thermite Games, indienova, and "many more indie newcomers" will take part, and naturally there will be sales and bundles on all of the games featured in the event that have already been released. It's set to begin at 10 am Pacific on April 22 and runs until April 29, and will be livestreamed on Twitch and a dedicated Steam event page.

US Rep. Tim Ryan delivers his opening statement during Ohio's US Senate Democratic primary debate on March 28, 2022, at Central State University in Wilberforce. Wilberforce, Ohio (CNN)Desperate to prove Ohio isn't a lost cause, Democratic candidates for governor and an open Senate seat are attempting to steer clear of culture wars and tap into a vein of economic populism that has eluded them in the increasingly red state in recent decades. It hasn't been long since Democrats last won in Ohio. Former President Barack Obama won the state in both 2008 and 2012. And in 2018, Sen. Sherrod Brown won his third term. However, those high-profile victories obscured a much bleaker reality in the state for the Democratic Party. No other Democrat has won statewide office here since 2006. In 2020, Joe Biden became the first person to win the presidency without winning Ohio since 1960 -- effectively ending Ohio's bellwether status, though it had been clear for several election cycles that Ohio was no longer the tipping-point state that would push a presidential candidate over 270 electoral votes. Former President Donald Trump's 8-point victories in Ohio in 2016 and 2020 underscored just how far Democrats had slid, particularly in the state's White, rural areas. This year, the open-seat Senate race created by Republican Sen. Rob Portman's retirement, along with the gubernatorial race, will offer the latest test of whether Democrats can still win in the Buckeye State -- or whether Ohio's battleground status will continue to fade. Rep. Tim Ryan is the leading candidate to take on whoever emerges from a packed, acrimonious seven-person Republican Senate primary. Meanwhile, two former mayors are competing for the Democratic nomination for a governor's race that would likely pit the primary winner against incumbent Gov. Mike DeWine. Those candidates have largely honed in on a similar approach: Focus almost exclusively on jobs and wages. Defend workers and union rights, and hammer away at China and free trade deals. Stay out of the culture wars that are animating the Republican base. It's an economic message that carries unmistakable echoes of both Trump and Brown. "The Sherrod Brown model is the model to win in Ohio," said Aaron Pickrell, a veteran Ohio Democratic strategist and a leader of Obama's winning 2008 and 2012 efforts in the state. "I will not compare Sherrod Brown to Donald Trump. But tapping into economic anxiety to convey how you're going to help Ohioans address their economic anxiety is the way to win." But, strategists say, the appeal of Trump and Brown in Ohio isn't just their message. In their own ways, both strike voters as authentic figures. Brown has survived while other Midwestern Democrats have lost in part because, over decades in public life, he has cultivated a working-class-focused brand that's helped by his raspy voice and rumpled appearance. In 2018, he dramatically outperformed the rest of the Democratic statewide ticket: Brown won reelection by 7 percentage points, while DeWine won the governor's office and down-ballot Republicans won statewide offices by about 4 percentage points. "There's a lot of reasons that Sherrod wins, and one of them is similar to the reason Donald Trump won Ohio: In states like this where it's a competitive state that has begun to tilt one direction, voters value authenticity more than anything," said Justin Barasky, a Democratic strategist who managed Brown's 2018 campaign and is advising Ryan's gubernatorial bid. "They know every time they hear from Sherrod Brown that they're getting an authentic person," Barasky said. "They know why he's doing what he's doing, who he's fighting for, that he's in it for the right reasons. For better or worse, they believe it about Trump, too." 'Start cutting workers in on the deal' That brand is difficult to build in one election cycle. But Ryan, the 10-term congressman from Youngstown who in 2016 challenged Nancy Pelosi for the House speakership and launched a short-lived 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, is trying. Ryan, 48, was first elected to Congress in 2002. He's a frequent visitor in Ohio's union halls, and has made stories about his family's working-class roots a staple on the campaign trail. He pitches himself as a Democrat in Brown's mold, and tells crowds that while he disagreed with Trump on a number of issues, he supported the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. He has centered his campaign on an argument for policies that would force corporations to "start cutting workers in on the deal." "Ohio has to lead the way in bringing our supply chain back, taking on China, building the things that will build our future," he said in his opening remarks at a Monday debate at Central State University, a historically Black university in Wilberforce, Ohio, east of Dayton. Ryan is traveling to rural, heavily Republican areas of the state frequently ignored by Democrats, trying to stop the party's bleeding there after years of Republicans racking up enormous margins of victory in those counties. Ohio's urban areas favor Democrats, but cities like Cincinnati and Columbus don't provide the huge margins that the party's candidates receive in the urban counties in nearby Pennsylvania and Michigan, where Democrats have consistently won statewide contests in recent years. So chipping away at the GOP's dominance in Ohio's rural counties is critical, Democratic strategists said, to returning the state to competitive status. "Tim's learning what people care about, people are talking about him being there, he's talking to the press while he's there. Every corner of Ohio, people are going to know Tim's looking out for him," Pickrell said. Still, Ryan has a primary challenge to overcome in May before he can focus on the winner of a seven-way GOP primary. Morgan Harper, an attorney and former senior adviser to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has challenged Ryan from the left. In the debate Monday, Harper criticized Ryan for previously receiving an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association and for taking campaign money from defense contractors. She said Congress should cancel student loan debt and expand the Supreme Court -- positions Ryan did not embrace. Still, Ryan is the clear favorite, with a massive financial advantage: He ended 2021 with $5 million his campaign's bank account, more than 10 times what Harper had on hand. That allowed Ryan to launch a $3.3 million ad buy this week -- with his first 30-second spot focused solely on China. "It is us versus China, and instead of taking them on, Washington is wasting our time on stupid fights," Ryan says in the ad. Democrats seek to latch DeWine to social issues DeWine, the Republican governor who has been in office for nearly 40 years -- first as a local prosecutor and then state legislator, then as a member of the US House, then Ohio's lieutenant governor, then the US Senate, and finally back to Ohio as attorney general before being elected governor in 2018 -- faces GOP competition in his bid for a second term. DeWine emerged early in the coronavirus pandemic as among the leading governors advocating public health measures to slow the pandemic. But in his first television ad of the primary season this week, he pushed the other way, highlighting his efforts to re-open Cleveland schools in early 2021. It's a response to the pressure he faces from the right: Former US Rep. Jim Renacci and farmer and business owner Joe Blystone are campaigning on criticism of DeWine's handling of the pandemic, saying the measures he took to close schools and businesses early went too far. In a gubernatorial debate at Central State University the day after the Senate candidates debated, the two Democratic candidates vying to take on DeWine, former Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley and former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, focused on jobs, rather than DeWine's pandemic management. But they also offered a glimpse at a strategy that could help Democrats win the state's suburban regions, casting DeWine and Republicans as too extreme on social issues -- particularly hammering DeWine's decision to sign into law a measure passed by the Republican-led legislature that allows concealed carry of firearms without a license. Whaley pointed to DeWine's pledge to "do something" after a 2019 mass shooting left nine dead in Dayton. "Never in my worst nightmare did I think the thing he was going to do was to actually make it worse," she said. Lambasting Republicans in statehouses for overreaching on social issues is part of Democrats' strategy across the midterm map, with party operatives looking for ways to turn the GOP's focus on issues that animate a base still devoted to Trump against Republicans in the general election. "Among independents and suburban swing voters, people want the economy to be good and they don't want to live in this really conservative state that is focused on social issues that don't affect their day to day life that much," Pickrell said. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/03/politics/ohio-democrats-midterms-economic-message/index.html

A hidden camera is streaming live images of a white-tailed sea eagle nest at a secret location in the Cairngorms. Sea eagles are the UK's largest bird of prey and have a wingspan of up to 2.4m (8ft). Live images of eagles Shona and Finn, who are incubating two eggs, are being fed to RSPB Scotland's Loch Garten Nature Centre at Abernethy. The project has been described as a UK first because of the quality of the camera involved. It forms part of the work being carried out by Cairngorms Connect, a conservation partnership set up to enhance habitats over the next 200 years. The camera is hidden in trees 3m (10ft) from the nest site. It was installed under licence in autumn to avoid disturbing the eagle's breeding season. Jess Tomes, of RSPB Scotland, said: "This is an enormously exciting addition to the visitor offer at the Loch Garten Nature Centre. "The images we're getting live from the nest are phenomenal and our visitors will get a very rare and extremely privileged peek at the domestic life of a breeding, white-tailed eagle pair." She added: "Already we're noticing little personality traits in them - the male is very attentive to his mate and to tidying the nest - it's fascinating to watch." The eggs could hatch around the second week of April. The exact location of the nest is not being revealed to the public to avoid the risk of the birds being disturbed. White-tailed eagles were driven to extinction in Scotland by 1918. The species was later reintroduced to Scotland, with the first birds being taken from Scandinavia and released on the Isle of Rum in 1975. Subsequent reintroductions and the birds' natural dispersal means there are now po[CENSORED]tions spread as far as Fife, Orkney and the north west Highlands. The UK's oldest white-tailed sea eagle, Skye, was identified on the Isle of Mull after being spotted in film shot for BBC Winterwatch earlier this year. Skye's mate of 25 years, Frisa, would be older at 30 years old, if ornithologists can confirm she is still alive. Frisa hatched on Mull in 1992. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-60952972

Urs Lesse's expertise is in the field of political science, but he also has a more hands-on interest. Every four weeks he gives up his time to help people fix their phones, in his home city of Aachen in the west of Germany. But he can't help you with any make of phone - just one brand called Fairphone. For the past eight years Mr Lesse has been an active member of an unpaid skills-sharing network of dedicated Fairphone users. He organises local community meetings and helps with repairs. "I don't repair phones if I don't have to, but I have always been strongly motivated to encourage people to try to fix their own Fairphones by themselves," he says. "It has always been a matter of passing on information and taking the inhibition away from the people to dare and open their phones," he explains. With a modular design, Fairphone devices allow components such as the display screen, battery, USB ports and cameras to easily be exchanged, repaired and customised by their owners. "The Fairphone 2 could be taken apart in under two minutes," says Mr Lesse. "There were models where you didn't even need tools to take the display off in order to replace it yourself." Fairphone customers range from programmers who have been drawn to the software possibilities of the phones, to consumers in search of a more sustainable product. The firm started in 2013 and follows four principles: sourcing raw materials from non-conflict mining areas, and making products that are recyclable, long-lasting and repairable. According to United Nations figures, a record 53.6m tonnes of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019 - up 21% in just five year - with mobile phones making up a significant part of this. What's more, only 17% of electronic waste was recycled. Fairphone argues that by making phones easy to fix they can have a longer working life, generating less waste and so having a positive impact on the environment. "We know that by increasing the lifespan of a phone by at least two years, you get a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions," says Fairphone co-founder Miquel Ballester. So far, the Dutch firm has sold some 400,000 devices - which means it is a very small player in the smartphone market. "Fairphone is still a niche product, which can't be found in many stores, which is why the community network is important," says Mr Lesse. Yet Fairphone has created waves within the industry, particularly in Germany, where it has earned a significant body of support. Germany has presented Fairphone with numerous certifications and awards, most notably in 2016 the German Environmental Award, the most lucrative environmental prize in Europe. Mr Ballester believes this government acclaim, as opposed to industry market recommendations, is one of the reasons Fairphone has gained such a sizeable following in Germany in comparison to other European markets. Germans tend to be less attached to the status of big brands and are therefore more experimental with trying smaller European ones, the company says. In Hamburg, Ingo Strauch, who also volunteers to help fellow users, says that many people mention data privacy and the easy use of the phone over its environmental benefits. The firm's po[CENSORED]rity in Germany could also be due to Germany's individual purchasing power. "Germany is a wealthy country. The willingness to reach deeper into your pocket for a seemingly fair product is therefore also higher," says Mr Lesse. Fairphone says its priority is not just growth, it wants to change the way the industry works. "We don't want to necessarily become the biggest of the industry, but we want to become the most influential and make sure other manufacturers mirror some of the initiatives that we have," says Mr Ballester. There is some evidence of a preference shift in wider society, says Prof Sigrid Kannengiesser, who specialises in media practices and sustainability at Bremen university. She points to the rise of repair cafés in western Europe and North America, and also to the recent announcement by the European Commission establishing a right to repair, "Consumers, politicians but also some actors in the economy understand that our societies and the way of living of many people must become more sustainable," says Prof Kannengiesser. The big players in the industry have been taking note. Last year Apple launched its "self service repair" initiative, giving customers access to Apple parts and tools. "Self Service Repair is intended for individual technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices," says the firm. So how does Fairphone's latest model, the Fairphone 4, compare with other mobiles? Chris Hall, of gadgets website Pocket-lint.com, is broadly positive: "The Fairphone 4 is a solid mid-range device, but it's unique selling point is sustainability, rather than stand-out performance in any other area. "It's impressive that it offers some water resistance, but it's not protected to the same extent as flagship phones. That's a minor downside considering that this is a mid-range device. "As such, while it offers reasonable performance, it's never going to be a power house and when it comes to sheer performance." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60374806

Removing @Vinicius™ from the Team. Reason : Inactive.

A suburban avenue in Bucha became one of the first graveyards for Russia's hopes of encircling and entering Kyiv and then deposing the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky. The moment came two or three days after the first Russian forces crossed into Ukraine on 24 February, when Ukrainian forces destroyed a column of Russian tanks and armoured personnel carriers moving through the town of Bucha to the city of Kyiv. The convoy was destroyed in one of the first of many Ukrainian ambushes that stopped the Russian advance dead. Our BBC team was able to get to Bucha because during Friday the final Russian soldiers pulled out, as part of what the Kremlin has presented as a calm and rational decision to concentrate on the war in eastern Ukraine. Moscow says, without proof or any reliability, that its war aims in central Ukraine have been achieved, and they never included capturing Kyiv. The truth is that unexpectedly fierce and well organised Ukrainian resistance stopped them outside the capital, and the evidence includes the rusting and twisted wreckage of the column that still lies where it was destroyed on that suburban street. Two or three weeks into the war the Russian invaders ran out of momentum. On the street in Bucha you can see why. Elite troops from Russia's airborne forces rode into the town in armoured vehicles light enough to be carried by aircraft. They came from Hostomel airport, a few miles away, which had been attacked and seized by Russian paratroopers landed by helicopter on the first day of the invasion. Even then, there was fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces. When the column moved through Bucha on the way to Kyiv, they had a harsh awakening. The road is narrow and straight, an ideal place for an ambush. Witnesses said the Ukrainians attacked the convoy with Bayraktar attack drones bought from Turkey. Other neighbours said Ukrainian territorial defence volunteers were also in the area. However they did it, the lead vehicles and the ones bringing up the rear were knocked out and imprisoned the others. The wreckage has not been touched. Belts of 30mm cannon shells lie on the grass verge, along with many pieces of dangerous and damaged abandoned ordnance. Young conscripts ran away, begging, local people said, not to be turned over to Ukrainian territorial defence. A man of around 70 who called himself uncle Hrysha, said: "I felt sorry for them. They were so young, 18 to 20, with their whole lives ahead of them." It looks as if Russians, as they prepared to pull out of Bucha, had no such pity. At least 20 dead men were lying in the street as Ukrainian troops entered the town. Some of them had their hands tied behind their backs. The mayor said they had buried 280 people in mass graves. A few civilians who stayed said they had tried to avoid the Russians. They set up wood fires outside their Khrushchev-era flats, cooking on them outdoors because their gas, power and water were cut. Volunteers are bringing supplies in from Lviv in western Ukraine, and from countries far from the war, geographically at least. "This is the first bread we've had in 38 days," said a woman called Maria, looking at a plastic bag with some modest looking buns inside. Her daughter Larysa showed me round the Soviet-built apartment building. Many of the people who had left for safer areas, or abroad, had bolted shut security doors. The Russians removed them by ripping out the concrete lintels and door posts. A few miles away, the trail of devastation leads to Hostomel airport. Russian airborne troops tried to use it as a base for a push into Kyiv. The world's largest transport plane was destroyed early on. The roof of the enormous hangar built for it was so riddled with a constellation of shrapnel holes. The plane itself, known by the Ukrainian word for dream (Mriya), lies there broken-backed, big chunks of fuselage and engine in places around it. Its fate is a parable of what is happening to Ukraine. An enormous amount of national pride was invested in the aircraft, as a symbol of Ukraine's ability to make big projects all round the world. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60970818

More assistive writing features coming to Google Docs Google is rolling out an upgrade for Docs that could help users improve the quality of their writing. As explained in its latest blog post, the company is adding a number of new “assistive writing features” to the word processing software, including synonym and sentence structure suggestions. The service will also flag up any “inappropriate” language, as well as instances in which the writer would be better served by using the active rather than passive voice. Google Docs update In the form of the Smart Compose feature, which offers autocomplete suggestions as the user types, Google Docs has long been equipped with a measure of intelligence. However, the company has recently ramped up efforts to introduce artificial intelligence-powered functionality to its Workspace suite, with the goal of boosting user productivity and the quality of work. In addition to this latest update, Google recently announced that Docs is now capable of summarizing the most salient information in any document, eliminating the need to wade through lengthy reports. Separately, an update for Google Drive allows the cloud storage service to intuit which documents a user may want to work on at which time of day, cutting the time spent hunting for specific files. The arrival of further recommendation features for Docs is another step in the campaign to make the company’s product suite more intelligent. “Suggestions will appear as you type and help guide you when there are opportunities to avoid repeated or unnecessary words, helping diversify your writing and ensuring you’re using the most effective word for the situation,” Google explained. “We hope this will help elevate your writing style and make more dynamic, clear, inclusive, and concise documents.” When the tools are active, suggestions will be underlined in purple. Selecting the underline will bring up a small pop up that prompts the user to accept or decline the change. These suggestions will be switched on by default, but can be deactivated under the Tools menu at the top of the page. The new Google Docs features are currently in the process of rolling out and should take effect for all premium business customers by the end of the month. The updates will not be available to Workspace Essentials, Business Starter, nor Enterprise Essentials customers. https://www.techradar.com/news/google-docs-will-now-practically-do-the-writing-for-you

Intel's Special Edition hits 5.5 GHz with ease. Intel's Core i9-12900K arrived last year as the fastest gaming CPU we've ever tested, but the new Special Edition Core i9-12900KS pushes the Alder Lake family up to a blistering 5.5 GHz, a record high for PCs, making it the fastest desktop PC chip in all categories. The 12900KS comes to market on April 5, but we snagged a chip to put it to the test ahead of the final launch. But that isn't the final word yet: AMD has its $449 Ryzen 7 5800X3D waiting in the wings. The 5800X3D comes with the first 3D-stacked SRAM for desktop PCs, granting the chip a whopping 96MB of L3 cache that AMD says will take back the crown of the best CPU for gaming when it arrives on April 20. Make no mistake, Intel's goal with the 12900KS is to cement itself atop the performance charts to cut off the 5800X3D before it even arrives on the market. Intel aims to accomplish this feat by leveraging the 12900K's existing 16-core 24-thread design, but with a higher binning that supports speeds up to 5.5 GHz on two cores and up to 5.2 GHz for all-core boosts, both enabled by adding in Intel's most advanced boosting tech. That comes at the cost of extra power, though: The Core i9-12900KS comes with a 150W processor base power (PBP), a record for a mainstream desktop processor. As we'll show below, it's an understatement to say the 12900KS runs hot, so it requires the beefiest of cooling solutions. However, as we'll detail, some of that tendency to run hot is by design and it enables a new level of performance for desktop PCs. The speedy 12900KS is sure to satisfy deep-pocketed performance addicts, and it comes with the same overall feature set as the 12900K, like support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 on the desktop. AMD can't match that type of connectivity until its 5nm Ryzen 7000 ‘Raphael’ Zen 4 CPUs arrive later this year. The 12900KS also comes with Alder Lake's new hybrid x86 design that combines eight big and fast Performance cores (P-cores) with two four-core clusters of small and powerful Efficiency cores (E-cores) that chew through background processes. Intel's Core i9-12900K catapulted the company back to the top of the performance and value charts after the beating it took at the hands of AMD's Ryzen 5000 family, but AMD is finally firing back with seven new chips of its own that will come to market this month. Intel's Core i9-12900KS is Intel's brazen 'power and price be damned' attempt at keeping the performance crown at all costs, just like we saw with Intel's only other 'Special Edition' chip, the Core i9-9900KS. All of this means that while Intel's 12900KS delivers strong performance that leads our CPU benchmark hierarchy, its hefty $739 premium might not be as good of a buy for gaming as AMD's $449 5800X3D. However, the eight-core 5800X3D won't be able to keep pace in any other type of work, as the 16-core Core i9-12900KS has a core count and frequency advantage. Here's how Intel's latest Special Edition stacks up. Intel Alder Lake-S Core i9-12900KS Specifications and Pricing The Core i9-12900KS is a Special Edition chip, but Intel hasn't said if it will only produce a limited number as it did for the 'Limited Edition' Core i7-8086K. However, we do know that the 12900K's thousand-unit price (effectively the wholesale MSRP) lands at $739, so we can expect to see these chips at retail for around $775 to $800 at launch. That's a surprising premium over the 16-core 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X that now retails for around $600, and it's also much more expensive than the $449 Ryzen 7 5800X3D that AMD says will be faster at games. This means there's a good chance we could see the Core i9-12900KS sell for lower than its suggested pricing after the initial demand is satisfied. The Core i9-12900KS is functionally the same as the Core i9-12900K, which you can read much more about here. We also have deep-dive coverage of the Alder Lake SoC design and core microarchitectures here, along with a broader overview in our Alder Lake all we know article. The 12900KS has eight P-cores just like the 'K' version, but they now boost up to 5.5 GHz (300 MHz increase) if certain conditions are met. The chip also features eight E-cores that also receive an extra 100 MHz of clock speed. Intel has a total of five boost technologies (deeper explanation here), but the standard Core i9-12900K only supports two of them. The 12900KS supports all five to deliver higher clock speeds. Intel's single-core Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) tech allows the two fastest favored cores to boost to 5.5 GHz if they are below 70C, while the all-core TVB supports 'up to' the frequencies in the table above. The 12900KS also has Adaptive Boost Technology, allowing dynamic all-core turbo frequency adjustments when four or more cores are active. This feature doesn't have a guaranteed boost threshold — it will vary based on chip quality, your cooler, and power delivery. Think of Intel's Adaptive Boost Technology (ABT) much like a dynamic auto-overclocking feature that applies to all-core boosts, but using it doesn't void the warranty. These higher clock speeds require more power. As a result, Intel has increased the Processor Base Power (PBP) to 150W, an increase of 25W over the Core i9-12900K. However, the Maximum Turbo Power (MTP) value, which represents the highest power level during boost activity, remains the same at 241W. Naturally, all bets are off when you remove the power limits, which happens by default on most high-end motherboards. All Alder Lake chips support DDR4-3200 or up to DDR5-4800 memory, but caveats apply. Alder Lake chips expose up to 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0 (technically for storage and graphics only, no networking devices) and an additional four lanes of PCIe 4.0 from the chip for M.2 storage. The 12900KS also comes armed with the UHD Graphics 770 engine with 32 EUs that run at a 300/1550 MHz base/boost, just like the standard 12900K. However, there is no graphics-less F-series variant. Test Setup We tested the 12900KS's boosting, power and thermal characteristics extensively, finding that the chip easily and frequently boosts to 5.5 GHz. It also sustains up to a 5.2 GHz boost clock on all P-cores, though not under all conditions. The peak 305W of power consumption we recorded has an impact on thermals, which regularly stay at 100C under heavy multi-core loads. That's because Intel's auto-overclocking ABT feature is designed to extract the full performance available within the spec'd temperature range. You can find that testing after the game and application benchmarks below. Alder Lake's Thread Director technology steers threads to the correct type of cores. This tech works best with Windows 11, so we use that for testing. It's important that you know that these chips can suffer in very few multi-threaded workloads in Windows 10. You can correct those issues either via command-line utilities or third-party software, like Process Lasso, and receive the full expected performance. Aside from a few errant programs, the overall trends between Windows 10 and 11 are similar. As such, we're not going to post the redundant Windows 10 benchmarks in this article. We also stuck with DDR4 for this round of testing, as overall performance trends are generally the same between DDR4 and DDR5. We have a deeper dive into what that looks like in our initial 12900K review. We tested in the following two configurations: Core i9-12900KS NoPL DDR4: Corsair H115i 280mm water cooler, power limits removed, memory at DDR4-3200 in Gear 1 mode Core i9-12900KS StockPL DDR4: Corsair H115i 280mm water cooler, Intel recommended stock power limits (150/241W), Stock DDR4-3200 in Gear 1 Core i9-12900K: Corsair H115i 280mm water cooler, power limits removed, memory at DDR4-3200 in Gear 1 mode Intel Core i9-12900KS Gaming Benchmarks — The TLDR As usual, we're testing with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 to reduce GPU-imposed bottlenecks as much as possible, and differences between test subjects will shrink with lesser cards or higher resolutions. Because most of the titles below show little meaningful differentiation at higher resolutions, we only tested four of the seven titles at 1440p. The Core i9-12900KS is now the fastest gaming chip in the world, but only by a slight 2.7% gain over the vanilla 12900K in our cumulative 1080p performance measurement. However, we do see a larger 6.9% gain in the 99th percentile framerates, implying a smoother gaming experience. It is noteworthy that a few of our tested titles are approaching a GPU bottleneck at 1080p, so we might see larger performance deltas when new, more powerful GPUs arrive later this year. However, due to the GPU bottleneck, the difference between the two chips is imperceivable at QHD. It's noteworthy that we typically test with the power limits fully removed for our standard measurements, so the 12900K in the above charts is running beyond Intel's 'recommended' power settings but remains within warranty. The 12900KS's 5.5 GHz boost frequently engages in any configuration, contributing to a dead tie between the two KS configurations in our cumulative measurement of performance at 1080p. Moving over to 1440p brings a GPU bottleneck into the equation, so the performance deltas between the chips shrink tremendously. However, those results provide good perspective if you game at higher resolutions and don't plan to upgrade your GPU before buying your next CPU. Flipping through the 99th percentile charts for both resolutions also shows larger deltas, but we have to view those with caution as Windows 11 is still young and suffers from more framerate variability than our Windows 10 test platform. This could result from yet-to-be-updated game code, the relatively new graphics drivers for Windows 11, or some other combination of factors that could be smoothed out in the future. The Core i9-12900KS carves out a win in our game testing, but that 2.7% of extra performance at 1080p comes with a 25% price increase. The 12900KS also can't circumvent the general laws of the universe and make the GPU any faster, so you won't see any noticeable gain at higher resolutions or with games that are already bottlenecked by the GPU. That lack of improvement is disappointing, given that most folks that purchase this expensive chip won't be gaming at lower resolutions. The competition between Intel and AMD is much closer now, so it's best to make an informed decision based on the types of titles you play frequently. Be sure to check out the individual tests below. 3DMark, VRMark, Chess Engines on Intel Core i9-12900KS Synthetic benchmarks don't tend to translate well to real-world gaming, but they do show us the raw amount of compute power exposed to game engines. It's too bad most games don't fully exploit it. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-core-i9-12900ks-cpu-review

Ultraboy's mod is "ridiculously well-made" Katsuhiro Harada has asked people to "plz stop it" after an Elden Ring-themed Tekken 7 mod was too good. The director of the Tekken series took to Twitter to share his thoughts about a Tekken 7 mod which looks so good in the trailer that it feasibly could have been an official crossover. The mod is ridiculously impressive, so much so, Harada seems a little hesitant about people taking it a little too seriously. As reported by VGC, Harada quote retweeted a trailer of a Tekken 7 mod made by Ultraboy showing off the character models included in the pack. The trailer, no word of a lie, looks official. If you showed this to me without any context I would think it had been leaked from an upcoming collaboration as both Tekken and Elden Ring are under the Bandai Namco flag. But no, it's just a dedicated fan doing an incredible job of recreating these characters in the fighting game. The mod by Ultraboy can be downloaded for your own enjoyment, and includes models of Melina, Malenia, the Prisoner Tarnished, Alexander the pot, Radahn, Ranni and a giant lobster. The trailer shows off the models, not only in in-game cinematics, but also how they fight too. And they look just as good, if not better, when punching their enemies. The trailer and the mod is so impressive it prompted Katsuhiro Harada, the current director and a producer of the Tekken series, to respond. The dev said on Twitter: "Um... Sure, Elden is a Bandai Namco-funded title, and I was the production general manager in charge of Elden, so it's not irrelevant... it's ridiculously well-made mod but plz stop it lol". So now we know that this isn't an official crossover. However, it kind of should be, don't you think? Sorry Harada. The mod is just too good. https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/elden-ring-tekken-mod-is-too-good-director-asks-players-to-plz-stop/
