This is hardly the first piece of Jack fan art that Mass Effect fans have shared. In fact, one great image was posted by Jack’s voice actress Courtenay Taylor back in February. Focusing on how the character might look if she was thrust into the world of Cyberpunk 2077, it gave Jack a Judy Alvarez-like hairstyle. Twitter user @WildCardHoney continues this trend of longer hair with their own Jack design, making Jack’s hair more reminiscent of Miranda’s....

The Wrentham Police began investigating Jacob Guerrero, 23, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, in August when a customer at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets in Massachusetts called in about a man sneaking into a women’s bathroom. Guerrero allegedly donned a blonde wig, snuck into the restroom, and used a pen camera attached to a shoe to film girls between the ages of 12 and 15, Boston 25 News reported. “Pen cameras are easily concealed surveillance cameras that have the ability to record video and photos on Micro SD cards contained within the pen,” the department explained in a statement....

The second-gen true-wireless headphones have a new, smaller design, a more conventional charging case and an upgrade to ‘proper’ active noise cancelling, as opposed to the Bose noise reduction in the first-generation Echo Buds. Audio quality isn’t the best around still, but it is also better than before and the big attraction compared to other true wireless earbuds is, of course, hands-free Alexa. Features & design Active noise cancellingHands-free AlexaBlack and white colour options...

The Echo Plus is the most expensive Echo without a screen, but why should you buy it instead of the Echo 2 or Echo Dot? The main reason is for its in-built ‘smart hub’ which other Echos lack. It effectively replaces other hubs, such as Philips’ Hue Bridge and those which use the ZigBee wireless standard. The Echo Plus has now been replaced with a new model, as of September 2018....

The white finish makes a return (it was available on the 2015 model) but this time there’s a white screen bezel to go with it which does a lot to improve the aesthetic. It still doesn’t look like a premium device and if you don’t like white you can still get it in black or the Twilight Blue and Plum hues which match the colours available on the 2019 version of the smaller Fire 7 tablet....

At this point, I almost just gave up and left the account open. Before long, I felt the tidal pull of convenience luring me back into regular shopping. This same logic characterizes other collective-action problems – such as climate change or political reform – that require mass participation. But if everyone embraced apathy, progress in these domains would be literally impossible, and we know that political, social, and environmental reform does happen....

The central U.S. has been hit by a wild winter storm, and freezing weather is expected to continue over the Christmas weekend. And while many animals migrate south to wait out the colder months, others have developed strategies to withstand the snow and ice. “Alligators deal with cold weather mainly through brumation, which is sort of the reptile version of hibernation,” Adam Rosenblatt, an ecologist and alligator expert at the University of North Florida, told Newsweek....

The two-time world champion is splitting his time this year between his duties with McLaren and racing in the World Endurance Championship, where he competes for Toyota. Alonso, who skipped last year’s Monaco Grand Prix to race the Indy 500, triumphed at the Six Hours of Spa last weekend to record his first race victory since 2013. However, the Spaniard has struggled to compete with the leading contenders in F1 this season, leaving him “sad” at the state of the sport as he contemplates his next career move....

Alpine’s CEO Laurent Rossi has played down their chances in the 2021 season. He said that the team is already looking forward to the new regulations in 2022. The team made its ambitions clear after signing two-time world champion Fernando Alonso this season. Rossi will hope Alpine can deliver a car with which the Spaniard can be competitive. Rossi admitted that the A521 is almost at its full potential, and cannot be upgraded much further....

We all know that the trouble starts early, with bored, unsupervised kids hanging out after school–the time when most crimes by young people are committed. Nearly 600,000 black males are currently serving time in prison, while only 40,000 will earn a college degree. Murders committed by black male teenagers are up 52 percent since 2002, which doesn’t take us back to the bad old days of crack in the 1990s, but is scary all the same....

The senator’s timing seems off in a way that might be admirable if it weren’t so politically clumsy. McCain trashed President Bush when he was popular—and now champions him when he’s down. The trashing angered many Republicans, who could never fully trust McCain again after his apostasy on tax cuts, torture and a dozen other issues where he always seemed to be highlighting his independence from Bush on TV. And promoting success in Iraq seems at odds with the facts on the ground: the “significant progress” McCain said he saw came when the average daily death toll of Iraqis was higher in March than in February....

The Warriors are the very reason that Gentry has the blues he’s had these last few weeks — or, heck, the last two years. When Gentry joined the Pelicans following that championship 18 months ago, he brought with him the promise of a full transformation of the way things had been done in New Orleans, the promise of a high-scoring Warriors-style offense and a versatile, switch-heavy Golden State defense that would vault the Pelicans from a happy-to-be-here playoff team into the West’s elite....

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only who … … thought Ronda Rousey’s promo was the highlight of the show? Based on Rousey’s previous performances on the mic, I would’ve said there was a better chance of Curt Hawkins winning the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. However, Rousey’s scathing promo on the Bellas felt real, both in her intensity and the way she delivered her lines. The Bellas, by the way, did a nice job on the mic as well....

She will answer questions from readers of the weekly publication Westside Seattle, which is owned by the family of her husband Christopher Robinson. Also available online, the paper is circulated in the Washington state city she is from, as well as neighboring towns, The Seattle Times reported. In 2009, Knox, now 32, and her then boyfriend, Rafaele Sollecito, were convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher two years previously in the Italian town of Perugia where she was studying....

I’d imagine playing someone currently in the news is daunting. What inspired you to take this role? I’m a mimic. I’m never gonna be her. But the trick is always to get the audience to believe that you are her very soon into the show, then they forget about what she really looks like. But oh, God, it was so much fun. In the first episode, I got to do the deposition stuff....

Design & Build The PowerBuds arrive in a nice compact, pebble-smooth charging case. The egg-sized housing feels slightly weighted (69g), which keeps it from feeling cheap and flimsy. This includes the weight of the ear-hooks and the 6g earphones, which offer IP55 waterproofing. The buds themselves nestled into my ears comfortably, but did slip out on a couple occasions. I would recommend wearing the ear-hooks, especially if you’re running. You’ll find these nested inside the case’s lid....

Truth be told, smartwatch tech does not hurtle forward at the same pace as other consumer tech, so it all still feels pretty new. The more recent Amazfit GTR does benefit from significantly longer battery life, a slimmer design, a larger, higher-resolution AMOLED display (with no black bar at the bottom) and Bluetooth 5.0, but this Stratos one-ups it with additional tracking modes and training features and, of course, easier availability – and that last point may be key....

[HTML1] Although it was released eight years ago, the first BioShock game is still considered by many gamers as one of the best (if not the best) game made for last-gen consoles. From its thrilling storyline, to its disturbing twists and revelations, BioShock had a way of sticking in a gamer’s mind long after they finish the final sequence. It’s no surprise then that one BioShock fan decided to take a swing at remaking the game’s opening sequence using an updated engine....
