    Texas Gunman Killed After Partygoers Threw Bricks as He Opened Fire
    Vanessa Etienne 16 mins ago


    A man who opened fire at a Texas party on Monday — killing one and injuring three others — is dead after partygoers chased him down with bricks, according to local authorities.

    Following a verbal altercation around 1 a.m., the attendee opened fire on the group. After shooting and injuring one person, several partygoers began chasing the suspect and fighting back.
    "A group picked up concrete landscaping bricks and started 'throwing them' at the shooter," the Fort Worth Police Department said in a statement, noting that shots continued being fired during the chase. "The shooter was struck multiple times with at least one landscaping brick and was pronounced dead at the scene."

    In addition to killing the gunman, the incident left one person dead and sent three others to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
    The shooter's handgun was later retrieved by local authorities.
    Police said they are investigating the incident and medical examiners will confirm the gunman's identity and determine the cause of death.

    Woman reveals clever way she caught her boyfriend cheating after seemingly innocent pic of him watching the Olympics

    A WOMAN has revealed the “genius” way she caught her boyfriend cheating after he sent a seemingly innocent snap of himself watching the Olympics.

    TikTok user shared a video of the photo her bloke had sent when she had asked him what he was up to.

    He responded saying, “watching the Olympics with the boys see u tomorrow”, but the photo he sent said otherwise.

    While at a glance it appeared to simply capture the TV set showing the Olympics, what the love rat had failed to notice was the mirrored television cabinet.

    In the reflection two sets of legs can be seen, his own and then a smoothly shaved pair of female pins.

    Megan also spotted several fashion themed coffee-table books - leading her to believe he was in a woman’s house.

    The video has since gone viral, amassing over 1.3million views and thousands of comments from viewers praising her detective work.

    One wrote: “He really thought that would work too… who gave men the audacity to be so painfully unaware of themselves.”

    “WHY do they send pics to incriminate themselves?” added another, while a third commented: “Maybe I do like being single.”

    In a follow up post, Megan shared the ‘live’ photo that her now ex had sent from his iPhone where a woman’s voice can also be heard.

    so.... if I understand the above post, this guy's GF noticed several fashion magazines so she suspected her BF might be at another woman's home...... so, the flower vase on the f'ing coffee table wasn't her first clue that her BF wasn't at his/their home??????? I don't know that very many straight guys that live alone are gonna have a vase full of flowers on their coffee table like that.....

    I won't even start on the mirrored cabinet

    So apparently you can't order certain new Dell computers in some US states? WTF?

    Dell is cancelling Alienware gaming PC shipments to several US states

    Orders placed in California, Hawaii, and four other states will not be honored because of power consumption regulations

    For the time being, Dell is no longer shipping certain Alienware Aurora R12 and R10 gaming PC configurations to half a dozen US states because those product lines potentially fall out of bounds of newly adopted energy efficiency requirements.

    When attempting to configure one of those systems, a warning message appears in bold red lettering to alert buyers that their order will not be honored if the destination resides in one of the affected states. This was first spotted by Marie Oakes, an independent content creator who highlighted the disclaimer on Twitter.

    "This product cannot be shipped to the states of California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, or Washington due to power consumption regulations adopted by those states. Any orders placed that are bound for those states will be canceled," the message states.

    The Aurora R12 and R10 are built around the latest generation processors from Intel and AMD, the former featuring 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake CPUs and the latter wielding Ryzen 5000 series chips based on Zen 3.

    Unfortunately for both Dell and buyers who reside in affected states, the majority of Aurora R12 and R10 configurations consume more power than local regulations allow. There are exceptions, though.

    On the Aurora R12 page, the second cheapest configuration ($1,156) outfitted with a Core i5 11400F, GeForce GTX 1650 Super, 8GB of single-channel DDR4-3200 RAM, and 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD "complies with CES power consumption regulations" and "ships to ALL states." The five other customizable starting points do not. Oddly enough, that includes a cheaper setup which drops the 256GB SSD from the mix, adding a thirstier hard drive, but is otherwise the same.
    There are seven customizable setups on the Aurora R10 product page, and once again, only the second cheapest config indicates it ships to all US states. It includes a Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon RX 5600, 8GB of single-channel DDR4-3200 RAM, and 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD.

    In a statement to The Register, Dell expanded on the shipment ban, as it relates to power requirements in California.

    "Yes, this was driven by the California Energy Commission (CEC) Tier 2 implementation that defined a mandatory energy efficiency standard for PCs – including desktops, AIOs and mobile gaming systems. This was put into effect on July 1, 2021. Select configurations of the Alienware Aurora R10 and R12 were the only impacted systems across Dell and Alienware," Dell said.

    In 2016, California became the first US state to approve energy efficiency standards for PCs and monitors. At the time, it was anticipated that the new standards would save 2.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year and significantly reduce carbon pollution arising from fossil fuel-fired power plants.

    More regulations are coming, too. On December 9, 2021, Tier 2 requirements will expand to "computers with high-speed networking capability, multi-screen notebooks, notebooks with cyclical behavior, and monitors with high refresh rates."

    The formulas used to determine which systems pass muster are outlined in a Title 20 Appliance Regulations document (PDF). In short, various annual energy consumption metrics apply to different PCs, the least stringent being 75 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, for certain systems manufactured after July 1, 2021.

    Going forward, there is a whole load of calculations system builders will need to make around PCs shipping from July 1, but with various 'adders' (like the GPU, networking cards, and other hardware) that can modify the final calculation. It's quite dizzying.

    It remains to be seen if other PC makers will halt shipments of certain PC configs as well, and how the new rules will affect upcoming models.
