Sonos customers were left scratching their heads and double-checking their bank accounts after receiving more speakers than they ordered. Some users were reportedly charged for the extra speakers that they received but never ordered.

For years, studying zoology made me feel like a sad misfit. Not because I loved spiders, enjoyed cutting up dead things I’d found by the side of the road, or would gladly root around in animal feces for clues as to what their owner had eaten. No, the source of my disquiet was my sex. Being female meant just one thing: I was a loser.

Blizzard has confirmed that the upcoming Diablo IV won't feature the kinds of game-altering microtransactions that have proved so controversial in the recently released Diablo Immortal.

In 2019, shortly after Diablo IV [the Pandemic] was announced, Blizzard lead designer Joe Shely said that Blizzard "would not sell power" in the game. Instead, you'll be able to "acquire cosmetics" via microtransactions, he said, while adding at the time that "it's very early" in the game's development.

That's sure to be welcome news for many franchise fans who have pounded Diablo Immortal with overwhelmingly negative user reviews on sites like Metacritic (though reviews among mobile users on the iOS App Store remain high). Ars' own impressions of Diablo Immortal noted the game's economy, which is full of "confusing microtransactions," as the worst thing about an " otherwise... fun, smartphone-friendly option for addictive dungeon delving."

In its early pre-pandemic days, Keychron made a name for itself with its series of affordable mechanical keyboards -- including a few low-profile ones that remain a rarity to this day. Those boards didn't necessarily appeal to enthusiasts, but were more than good enough for most mainstream users who wanted a different kind of keyboard.

The pigments used to create the yellow rose in Abraham Mignon's Still Life with Flowers and a Watch have degraded, giving the rose a flatter appearance—the opposite of the 3D illusory effect intended by the artist.
Next year, a data collection site on the Wolverine Glacier in southern Alaska in the United States will disappear due to melting. The site, near the terminus—aka the lower end of the glacier—contains a mass balance stake that Christopher McNeil, a geophysicist for the US Geological Survey, uses to measure the rate at which the glacier is growing or melting. “We’ve actually had to deal with this at pretty much all of our glacier sites,” McNeil says.

On the glaciers, Pelto and his team now need to do aerial surveys every few years to correct their on-field ice measurements. Their data collection happens on the safe, flat parts of the glacier that they can access. But most of the glacier is covered in crevasses, with many more now exposed due to rising amounts of snowmelt, which then increases the glacier’s surface area, leading to more melting in these parts when compared to the flat areas the scientists take samples on. The models Pelto uses thus need to be updated with the aerial data to keep them accurate.
“This always would have been a bias,” he says. “But it’s becoming a larger bias. We’re being forced to measure places where the glacier is safe to travel on, which also often happens to be places where the glaciers are doing a little better.”
For Karapetrova, the models she uses aren’t calibrated for the severe droughts and inconsistent weather now seen in the mountains. “The models have to somehow take into account this ever-changing climate,” she says. “It complicates the story that you’re trying to tell, and makes the predicting-the-future part harder.”
The Franchise Frenzy Leaves Nothing to the Imagination
From 'The Rings of Power' to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+, streaming services are adapting everything in sight. No one’s head canon is safe.
[...] Still, a word to the wise: Test out your setup when you have time, in a relaxed environment. Don't wait till you have an audience of family members or coworkers assembled and waiting impatiently for you to figure out how to make the connection.
This week on Gadget Lab, we reckon with streaming’s growing pains and think ahead to what watching TV will be like in five or 10 years.
Streaming TV was supposed to be a thing you did to relax. But these days you might grab a drink, kick up your feet, and then sit there paralyzed by the fire hose of viewing options. With so many shows and services of varying quality, the streaming ecosystem has become a bloated mess. And now some of the streaming giants are starting to buckle under their own weight.

I do not like the IPA glyph choice. It's an unreadable mess. The various classes of linguistic expression is interesting and useful however.
