Burials that date to just after the fall of the Roman Empire are revealing the secrets of people who lived on the Roman frontier in what is now southern Germany.A new DNA analysis of more than 200 skeletons in these cemeteries uncovered clues about the people who lived on the Roman frontier between 400 and 700. For example, many people engaged in lifelong monogamy, and nearly one-quarter of children lost at least one parent by age 10, the researchers wrote in the study, which was published Wednesday (April 29) in the journal Nature.They also found that, after the Roman Empire…

Earlier this month, a competitive Pokémon Go player was stripped of his win at an Orlando tournament for what was deemed “unsportsmanlike” behavior when he popped off after his competition-winning match. After weeks of blowback from the community, The Pokémon Company confirmed it would not be reverting its judges’ decision. Now, Firestar73 is telling his full side of the story. Firestar posted a six-page Google Doc write-up recounting his entire experience at the Orlando Regional Championships, in which he says he had been dealing with stress and nerves throughout the event’s second day, which manifested in physical reactions, such as…

Chris Nager AI chatbots can answer random questions, create travel itineraries, write code and even “date” users. But can they run Doom? Apparently, yes, yes they can. Software engineer Chris Nager made a playable Doom app that can launch inline within AI clients like ChatGPT and Claude. In his demo, he was able to play within the chatbots simply by typing “play Doom.” If the game can’t launch inline in a certain client, the app he built still provides a URL you can launch to play the classic shooter. Fans…
In an order denying Sam Bankman-Fried’s request for a new trial, a judge accused the disgraced FTX founder of wasting precious court resources on wild conspiracies. To the judge, the motion seemed like a last-ditch attempt to give himself a MAGA makeover that the Trump administration absolutely wasn’t buying. Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024 for “masterminding one of the largest financial frauds in American history,” US District Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in his order. He was convicted on all charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, commodities fraud, and money laundering. There is…
Winter 2026 roared to an end in southern Alaska as parts of the coast saw below-normal temperatures and bouts of moderate to heavy snow. Viewed from above, the region’s atmospheric instability was apparent in the striking display of cloud formations just offshore.

According to a NOAA weather briefing, low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska that day combined with high pressure over eastern Russia and northern Alaska, causing cold Arctic air to pour southeast over the Alaska Peninsula. The setup led…
People are still asking Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick about how much Grand Theft Auto VI will cost, and he’s still responding elusively to avoid saying an exact price. Both of these tactics are understandable. Zelnick is not going to say nor hint at how much GTA 6 is going to be until the price is formally revealed. But anyone interviewing him looks ridiculous if they don’t ask. So here we are. IGN was present at iicon and reported on Zelnick’s response to a question about GTA 6 pricing during an on-stage interview. As expected, Zelnick stayed far away from confirming…
YouTube TV has rolled out custom multiview for subscribers. This has long been a key selling point for sports, but now the feature will work across all channels. Subscribers can even mix-and-match across packages, which includes stuff like NFL Sunday Ticket. That means users can set up their own fully customizable screens that display whatever they want, from football games to the weather and that latest episode of a CBS procedural. The company began testing this a few years back, so we’ve been waiting a while for a true multiview option on the platform…
