The internet is home to many of skilled people. From woodworkers and jewelers to comics artists  and beyond, it's the platform to show off what you've been practicing and connect with audiences from all over the world.

But with so much content, we need someone to curate it. Luckily, the subreddit 'Top Talent' is on a mission to showcase the best of the best. It has 2.9 million members collecting footage of the coolest things humans can do, inspiring awe and admiration for everyone who visits them.

Continue scrolling to explore it all, including our conversation with Manhattan psychotherapist and performance coach Jonathan Alpert. You'll find it nestled in between the images.

In recent years, talks about personal accomplishments have been increasingly echoing the term growth mindset. According to the idea, it's the constant, incremental improvement that leads to success.

In other words, if you focus on perfecting the process instead of chasing results, the latter will naturally follow as a byproduct of your dedication.

So if you started working on a new project with expensive materials and little room for mistakes, it could be helpful to break down the task into smaller, manageable steps, providing yourself with opportunities to learn and improve along the way.

"All too often people when preparing for an event or performance think about all that could go wrong," psychotherapist and performance coach Jonathan Alpert told Bored Panda. "That only muddies their mindset, interfering with focus, and distracts them."

"Instead, focus on strengths — what do you bring to the event or performance? — that is the many weeks or even years of preparation, and the desire to achieve success, and expertise," the author of 'Be Fearless: Change Your Life in 28 Days' added.

Alpert, who works with many elite performers and leaders, suggests to "play it out in your mind and visualize the steps you will take on your big day."

"When you start to doubt yourself that only destabilizes your belief in yourself. Think of your belief as a table top with four legs. When you feel doubtful it is the equivalent of going over that table, grabbing a leg, and shaking it — it will make that table top (belief) less strong and less stable because you introduce negative thoughts into your mindset," he explained.

However, it's not just the preparation for and your performance that matter. You can also incorporate rituals or practices after you're done with it to improve further.

"It's not a bad idea to review your performance and try to understand what went well and what areas to work on," Alpert said.

"A performance can be diagnostic in some ways as it reveals what can be done to improve your game. Don't see any area of deficiency as a weakness, but rather as an opportunity for improvement that will make you stronger."

For centuries, people have been getting up and commuting, or retreating to a room to work. Some of the earliest evidence of humans laboring away in “offices” dates back to 16th-century paintings.

For some, this may come naturally. However, many employees struggle with motivation while confined between four walls for eight hours a day, five days a week. 

Perhaps today is one of those days when you just don’t feel like working and need a brief break from being a girl boss or a hustle bro. If so, Bored Panda has you covered with some of the most relatable and chucklesome memes the Facebook group “Work Meme Of The Day” has to offer. So kick back and scroll down, because most likely that email isn’t going anywhere!

While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with organizational psychologist and career counselor Dr. Sylvia Broetje and Melissa Doman, organizational psychologist and author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work, who kindly agreed to tell us more about lack of motivation at work.

Organizational psychologist Mellisa Doman tells us that many things can contribute to a lack of motivation at work. She says, “It can range from having high-stress levels that push you into 'bare minimum; I'm in auto-pilot mode to survive', to a lack of connection to the purpose and mission of your organization, to not enjoying your work itself, to feeling demotivated by bad leadership or not being recognized for your value."

Feeling unmotivated at work can come from so many different reasons because every situation and individual is unique.”

Meanwhile, organizational psychologist and career counselor Dr. Sylvia Broetje mentions several additional factors, one of them being unclear or unrealistic goals. A person might feel confused about where to start and which tasks to work on because the course of action is unclear or there’s too much to do, this way demotivating them. 

She also indicates the lack of control and autonomy. “It's difficult to feel ownership over your tasks if you are being micro-managed, you feel like you aren't being trusted, and you can't organize how to do your own work.”

Additionally, lack of recognition can also affect motivation levels, as one may feel that their efforts or results aren’t valued. The negative work environment also contributes to this, as Broetje explains, ”It's hard to do good work if you don't feel accepted and supported by your colleagues and supervisors. As humans, we are social animals, and we need good relationships in order to do well.”

Doman emphasizes that if a person feels unmotivated at work, it’s important to find out the reasons why. Otherwise, unmanaged feelings can potentially grow and unwantedly impact other areas of work or life.

“Feeling unmotivated may seem ‘harmless', but just because something isn't in your face to the point where it shocks you to address it doesn't mean it's not doing some potential damage to your self-esteem, self-efficacy, resilience, or professional drive in the background,” she adds.

Meanwhile, Broetje believes that pushing through and keeping working when a person is lacking motivation can be beneficial in the short term. “I would even say that motivation often kicks in AFTER you start working. The important thing is to get started.”

She even kindly shares a strategy that might get you going in moments when you don’t want to. “If you find yourself procrastinating a lot, the Pomodoro technique can be really helpful. Set a timer for 25 minutes of work, followed by a 5-minute break. Most tasks are bearable when you only have to do them for 25 minutes. Repeat. What often happens is that after two or three cycles of this, you have found your stride and don't even want to take the 5-minute break anymore.”

If you’re interested in more ways to up your productivity levels, she has created the "Good Work" worksheet, which you can check out on her website.

However, she agrees that it’s best to find the root of the problem when a lack of motivation overstays its welcome. “Some questions to consider are: Was the work originally motivating? What changed? Are you lacking motivation overall or only at work? What makes you excited? What could be draining your energy? The tasks? The people you work with? Overwork? Also, see the demotivators above.”

She also mentions that journaling and talking to friends, families, or trusted colleagues can be helpful in such moments, as can the support of a professional, like a career counselor, who aids in managing the current situation, identifying opportunities for change, or exploring whether the career or job is right for you.

During times when motivation levels are low, it’s important to remember that everyone struggles from time to time. Doman comforts us by saying, “It's so common and normal! If you feel that way, the last thing you need to do is be hard on yourself.”

In addition, Broetje advises acknowledging such a difficult time. “Set yourself smaller, realistic goals and reward yourself with little things when you've accomplished them, e.g., make yourself a cup of tea after two hours of good work. Take regular breaks that allow you to switch off from work. This is really critical for recovery. If you work a desk job, do something very different to recharge. For example, go for a walk, lie on the sofa and listen to music, cook, etc."

It also might be a good idea to take a look at your overall lifestyle. “Are you getting enough sleep? Eating well? Getting some exercise? This might not be the time to make major lifestyle changes but try to practice good self-care. Getting support from family, friends, or a professional can also help you navigate this time,” she concludes.

Windows are great for a lot of reasons. They allow us to take in light and, as a bonus, it warms our homes. They can be opened ever so slightly so that fresh air can enter in case your brother is gassy. Best of all, it provides us with a glimpse into what life is like outside the box of an apartment. Life we can’t help but admire.

But then you get lucky.

There are folks who struck gold and snapped a picture of a one-of-a-kind view through their window. And then they shared it with the rest of the world. And now you’re here, so scroll on and take a second to admire the view.

While this incarnation doesn’t deal with a particular source of view admirers and their content, there’s definitely a handful of places to seek out dedicated views through the window.

And those places can be quite numerous. One of the original view appreciation groups on Facebook has a community of 2.1 million members. So, yeah, it’s a big deal.

#6 This Window In A Local Library That Goes Into A Creek

But, what’s the big deal? It’s just a view, right?

Blasphemy.

A view provides something that both the romantic as well as the pragmatic can certainly get behind. And that is… well… a view. But in one sense, it’s pleasant aesthetics and in another, it’s higher property value.

In the most general sense, having a visually appealing environment means having a visually obvious bump in property value.

Potential buyers might have sentimental or emotional ties with certain areas or natural archetypes that might just sway them into buying it without needing to actually sell it to them. As such, it can justify the increased price tag.

#12 This Window That Makes My Back Yard Look Like It’s In 4 Different Seasons

However, a view does not equal another view and views can differ wildly. Among them, the likes of coastal properties, hillside homes and houses overlooking bodies of water (e.g. lakes or rivers) are often in high demand. If not for the beauty, then for the peace and quiet that often comes with it. And since there aren’t that many properties with such… properties, then the price grows exponentially higher.

#15 Aurora Borealis Seen Outside Of A Plane Window

Today’s trends suggest that the most sought out properties are mostly natural landscapes, such as sea views, mountain ranges, and park or green spaces. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to some city skylines are just as good. Just imagine, tall skyscrapers and urban aesthetics showing off the achievements of human civilization, lighting up the night sky (and creating light pollution along the way). Glorious.

#18 This Funky Little Ribbon Cloud Outside My Plane Window

So, how much in demand are views among people? The PurpleBricks estate agency suggests that 4 of 5 people (82%) would be willing to throw an extra $88,000 for a property that would include a view. So, long story short, a view is worth nearly $90K.

But we’re not done yet.

For those who don’t see money as an obstacle, 1 in 10 of them would gladly pay upwards of $250,000 for a dream view. That’s actually enough to buy a proper home in some states.

#20 The Clouds Outside My Plane Window Look Like An Alien Landscape

#21 Saw An Albino Squirrel Out My Window

And there’s also a gender bias involved in it. On average, men were willing to spend around $95,100 for a property with a dream view whereas women maxed out at nearly $89,000. So, an average of $6,000 difference.

The lowest folks went with paying extra for a view roughly $6,300 (15% of potential buyers) and nearly a fifth (18%) said they wouldn’t pay anything extra for it.

Ultimately, it boils down to personal choice. While houses are more than just bricks and mortar with a view. Each sees something for themselves in it—whether it’s the tranquility of the solitude of a location, or the ability to see the waves crash in the distance. The view is a personal thing, and so there is no objective number one could place on the price tag. It’s the buyer who determines how much all of this is worth to them. But in most cases, it’s worth a lot.

We took a trip to the Absolute Units subreddit and gathered some of their most astonishing pics. Enjoy scrolling through these photos that might make you feel miniscule in comparison, and be sure to upvote your favorite gigantic things!

As a Texan, I’m definitely familiar with the idea of things being unnecessarily large. As they say, everything’s bigger in Texas! And my partner made it very clear to me that was absolutely true during his first trip there. Wide roads, massive trucks, large houses, gigantic portions of food served at diners and more. But no matter how many times I’ve seen abnormally large things, I will never be desensitized to them. The Absolute Units subreddit still finds a way to surprise me.

This online group is dedicated to featuring the biggest versions of anything and everything. And clearly, many people do believe that bigger is better, as the group has amassed an impressive 1.7 million followers. That’s an absolute unit of a subreddit! Here, you can find anything from gigantic cars to monkeys who could probably stand to lose 40 pounds. As long as it’s big, it’s welcome here!

For some reason, many of us find it incredibly amusing to see something that’s not the size we expect it to be. The internet loves videos of people cooking in teeny tiny kitchens and extremely small versions of well, anything and everything. They’re adorable, entertaining and unexpected. But clearly, there are plenty of people who love the opposite as well: absolute units of things.

According to Clever, comically large objects actually make for great home decor as well. You can cover your floor with a huge piano rug that actually plays music when you step on it, or place a giant Rubik's cube in the corner to function as a side table. Massive heat-resistant pieces of pasta can be used on hot pot handles, and huge boxes shaped like Lego bricks can be used to store all of your children’s Lego pieces.

Some people actually turn absolute units into pieces of art. Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen worked together to create a series of sculptures that turned small, regular items into massive, eye-catching pieces of artwork. These include a massive shuttlecock, a huge sprinkler hose, a giant bow and arrow, bowling pins and a bowling ball that could easily crush a person, a saw large enough to slice through a street and more.

“We feel free to use all the approaches that come naturally to our non-monumental works: variations in scale, similes, transformations, a wide range of materials, and, of course, our use of familiar objects,” Oldenburg told My Modern Met.

Bruggen also opened up about what it was like to create these absolute units of sculptures with Oldenburg. “Working together supposes an almost complete understanding of the other, an impossibility in any case, so instead we choose a unity of opposites, a convergence of our different dynamics, of symmetry and asymmetry, of acceleration or implied speed and stillness, of a polychrome and monochrome palette, gravity and lightness — all interrelating and interchangeable elements to be used by either one of us,” she shared.

Not every absolute unit is to be enjoyed forever, though. Some bring us fleeting moments of joy, such as edible absolute units. If you’ve ever been to a restaurant that advertised a challenge to eat a huge plate of chicken fingers, a gigantic pancake, a mountain of nachos or an entire pizza in one sitting, you were likely surprised (and possibly disgusted). But it turns out that plenty of people love these absolute units of food. There are even entire blogs dedicated to finding these food challenges and conquering them.

FoodChallenges.com, which is run by Randy Santel, features a directory of challenges from all over the world, reviews of challenges that Randy or other “food fighters” have attempted or completed, and tips for those creating or participating in food challenges. It’s safe to say that every challenge featured on the site would be considered an absolute unit. And you can find anything from sweet challenges with waffles and milkshakes to barbecue feasts with various meats.

If competing in a food challenge grosses you out, don’t worry. You can still enjoy absolute units of food without worrying about getting it all down by yourself or in a certain amount of time. There are plenty of places that sell gigantic slices of pizza, croissants, cookies and more. But these are perfect for sharing with your friends and family! If you’re throwing a party, it might actually be worth it to get a pizza that’s longer than your dining room table. You’ll certainly have enough for everyone!

Ça y est, les émulateurs de jeux rétro débarquent enfin sur l’App Store ! C’est la grande nouvelle annoncée par Apple ce vendredi. Les règles de l’App Store de la firme à la pomme s’assouplissent pour accueillir ces applications tant attendues par les fans de jeux rétro.

Jusqu’à présent, les émulateurs étaient persona non grata sur iOS, laissant les possesseurs d’iPhone dans l’obligation de passer par des solutions de contournement comme le jailbreak ou des magasins d’apps alternatifs. Mais ça, c’était avant ! Avec ce revirement, Apple ouvre grand les portes aux émulateurs déjà présents sur Android (enfin, ceux qui ont survécu aux assauts de Nintendo). Une décision qui pourrait bien couper l’herbe sous le pied des app stores tiers désormais autorisés dans l’Union Européenne.

Mais attention, pas question pour autant de faire n’importe quoi. Les jeux proposés devront respecter « toutes les lois en vigueur« , sous-entendu pas de place pour le piratage. Comme ça, les développeurs sont prévenus !

En parallèle, la firme de Cupertino a également clarifié sa position sur les « super apps » type WeChat. Mini-jeux et mini-apps devront se contenter donc se contenter d’HTML5 et n’auront pas le droit à leur app native.

Ces changements interviennent alors qu’Apple est dans le collimateur de la justice américaine. Le géant est accusé de vouloir étouffer la concurrence des apps de cloud gaming et des super apps. Une plainte qu’Apple semble avoir anticipée en autorisant récemment les services comme le Xbox Cloud Gaming ou GeForce Now.

Et ici, c’est la Commission Européenne qui met la pression. Résultat, Apple autorise désormais les apps de streaming musical à inclure des liens et des infos sur les abonnements hors App Store. Spotify peut dire merci à Bruxelles ! Mais tout n’est pas encore réglé. Malgré l’injonction de la commissaire européenne Margrethe Vestager de laisser les apps communiquer « librement » avec leurs utilisateurs, Apple compte bien continuer à prélever sa dîme sur les achats via les fameux liens. De quoi faire grincer des dents chez Spotify.

« Suivre la loi n’est pas optionnel, mais Apple continue de défier cette décision« , s’agace un porte-parole. « À partir du 6 avril, la Commission pourra lancer des procédures pour non-conformité et imposer des amendes quotidiennes. Il est temps d’agir de manière décisive pour donner une fois pour toutes un véritable choix aux consommateurs.« 

Bref, vous l’aurez compris, c’est un petit pas pour les émulateurs, un grand pas pour l’ouverture de l’App Store. Mais le chemin est encore long avant d’arriver à un véritable marché ouvert et concurrentiel sur iOS. En attendant, sortez vos manettes et préparez-vous à replonger dans la nostalgie du rétrogaming directement sur votre iPhone !

British actress and singer Suki Waterhouse, 32, recently stepped into an exciting new role — that of a mother. She took a moment on Thursday, April 4, to introduce her newborn baby to her fans on Instagram with a picture showing her bundle of joy in her arms.

Suki reportedly shares the infant child with none other than Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson, 37, who is also Suki’s fiancé.

In the adorable snapshot that Suki posted on Instagram, the new momma was captured lovingly holding her infant, who was swaddled in a blanket adorned with hearts. However, the couple are still keeping their fans guessing, as they haven’t revealed the name or gender of the little one yet.

“Welcome to the world angel,” Suki captioned the post.

Celebrities who stumbled upon Suki’s picture while scrolling through their feed paused and took a moment to congratulate the couple as they entered parenthood.

“Congratulations love! So happy for you both!” fellow celebrity mum Paris Hilton wrote

“Now the fun really begins,” actress Alyssa Milano quipped, while singer Halsey commented, “ROCKSTAR MOM.”

Actress Nina Dobrev left a slew of hearts in her comment, along with a “Congratulations” on Suki’s post.

Fans were also elated to catch a glimpse of the little one and the proud momma.

“That child hit the genetic lottery,” read a comment that has garnered more than 10,500 likes so far.

“This baby has no idea who their parents are,” said a second comment, while another said, “That child gonna be the most beautiful baby.”

A loyal Twilight fan said, “The real baby renesmee.”

News about Suki and Robert welcoming their first child together came last month after photos of the couple pushing a beige pram with their newborn were shared by the Daily Mail.

The couple, who have kept their love life away from the limelight, were first romantically linked together in 2018.

Suki confirmed that she was pregnant while on stage in front of a cheering crowd at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City last November.

“I thought I’d wear something sparkly today to distract you from something else I’ve got going on,” she said, revealing her baby bump to the crowd.

“I’m not sure if it’s working,” she jokingly added before serving the audience with a musical performance.

Singer Lizzo penned a deeply enigmatic essay that delved into the trauma of burying one’s feelings. The cryptic message came in the shadow of her recent “I quit” declaration that sent shock waves through her fan base.

The Grammy-winner, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, appeared to give a peek behind the Lizzo persona and showed fans a glimpse of Melissa in her raw and deeply personal essay.

Lizzo wrote in the essay about a girl named Melissa who spent a lifetime policing her emotions and sticking to a set of internal rules she made for herself.

From a young age, the Melissa in Lizzo’s essay was described as the mediator of her family when fights erupted. She imposed three rules—”1. Don’t cry, 2. Stay neutral; deescalate, and 3. Don’t take anything personal. This isn’t about you”—for herself so she could maintain the role of a peacemaker during turbulent times.

“Humans tend to collect traumas like pebbles on a long hike. We toss them into our backpacks and keep moving forward. Some hikers would falter, but Melissa was built for this. She’d carried the stones of her family’s traumas uphill for years. She was strong,” Lizzo wrote in the essay.

“When men began to befriend and reject her, saying ‘you’re too good for me’ but not too good to make them feel good. She carried that,” she went on to say. “When childhood friends began to cut off the strings of her heart, saying ‘We can’t be friends anymore’. She carried that. When her family separated like dandelion seeds, it seemed like they’d never be together again. Melissa slept on so many couches, floors and car seats sometimes she didn’t know if she’d see them again. She carried that.”

For the longest time, Melissa didn’t break the self-imposed three rules, but deep down, she “wanted to break them boldly and loudly and annoyingly and honestly and sloppily like every one else gets to do,” Lizzo wrote.

Lizzo wrote in the essay that Melissa eventually learned how to break the rules and cry, escalate, and take things personally

“It was in that moment, tucked in a thin jacket inside of an 8-foot high instrument cubby in the inky darkness—it hit her,” she went on to say. “‘Is my suffering for a high purpose? Or is my suffering trying to kill me?’”

“She cried.

“She escalated.

“She took it personal.

“But it wasn’t enough. She wanted to scream in a microphone in a sea of shadowy faces. She drank whiskey and wove her pain into rock music,” Lizzo wrote.

The singer went on to write about how Melissa began to “fall for her feelings”

As the “pebble-laden hike became lighter with time,” Melissa eventually decided that rules were meant to be “built and broken,” the About Damn Time singer said.

She then went on to list out how Melissa broke the rules that she had made for herself.

“So… She broke rule number 1 on stage while singing a beautiful song…,” read the essay. “Rule number 2 was broken when she grew older and saw the injustices of the world. Marching with hundreds in protest she realized not everything needs to be pacified. And one day when she finally fell in love, she broke rule number 3. No matter how much training she’d done she couldn’t help but take every thing her lover said and did personal. But it was ok. Because in all her resistance she realized breaking rules was her power.”

“Melissa began to fall for her feelings. Her feelings gave life purpose. They weren’t always logical, as feelings seldom are. They were sloppy and embarrassing and rude and so fucking uncomfortable. But they were hers. And they were real,” Lizzo added.

Lizzo’s essay comes days after she posted a video clarifying what she meant by her “I Quit” declaration

The essay came days after Lizzo clarified that she was not going to quit making music, which she described as “the joy of [her] life.” When she made the “I Quit” statement, Lizzo said she meant she was going to stop “giving any negative energy attention.”

After posting the recent essay on Tumblr, fans had mixed reactions, with many supporting her for putting pen to paper and exposing her feelings, while others were critical and accused her of trying to gain attention.

Some fans cheered the singer on and said, “Writing is extremely healing”

A Mississippi mother decided to turn her two teenage sons in to the police after learning they were being searched for after firing shots at an officer.

A Holly Springs police officer said on Tuesday (April 2) that he attempted to pull over a red Kia Forte driving erratically with no headlights on Interstate 22 towards Memphis.

According to the police, at least two shots were fired from the suspects’ vehicle after a brief pursuit.

“It was dangerous for the officers and any other pedestrians and anyone that was on that interstate at the time. That was a very dangerous situation,” Holly Springs Police Chief Darryl Bowens said.

A Marshall County sheriff’s deputy spotted the vehicle where the suspects ran into the woods, WMC reports.

Following the incident, officers put in an alert with photos of the two men, aged 17 and 18, hoping someone would recognize them.

The person who knew them the most eventually did. It took less than 24 hours for the mother to turn her teenage sons in to the police after seeing them on the news.

“I was like, ‘Are you serious? Oh, hell no.’ I got up, and I asked questions,” the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, said.

“I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time,” she said

She added: “I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time— Plain and simple.”

She also described seeing her children associated with a crime as “very shocking.”

“My child does not get in trouble. He don’t bother nobody. They don’t do nothing. All they do is play games. This is very new. This is very shocking.”

Her sons reportedly insisted that they were innocent.

Both of them have been charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. Their names were not released by the Holly Springs Police Department.

Furthermore, an additional person of interest in the case has reportedly been questioned but not charged.

People congratulated the mother for her integrity

Thieves broke into the vault of a money storage facility in the San Fernando Valley, stealing around $30 million in one of the largest cash heists in the history of Los Angeles.

The crime reportedly took place on the night of Easter Sunday (March 31) when the burglars entered the GardaWorld money storage facility in Sylmar, LAPD revealed on Wednesday (April 3).

GardaWorld is “one of the largest privately owned integrated security and risk” companies internationally, and it partners with private companies, governments, humanitarian organizations, and multinationals, according to the company’s website.

The burglars were able to breach the building and the safe where the money was stored, according to L.A. Police Department Cmdr. Elaine Morales.

Nobody noticed the money was gone until the following day when employees opened the vault.

The LAPD is currently working with the FBI on the case.

“It’s just mind-blowing that you would never suspect it,” he said. “$30 million in the Valley, gone. How? Why? I’m still trying to process it,” an employee who works at GardaWorld told ABC7.

“Was it an inside job? Was it just one person? Was it a group? You know, there’s a lot of questions.”

The burglars are thought to have broken through the roof of the facility, but a law enforcement source revealed that there was also an effort to breach the side of the building.

It remains unclear how they gained access to the vault without triggering the alarm system.

A video shared by ABC shows a large cut on the side of the facility covered by a piece of plywood with rubble around it. It hasn’t been confirmed whether this was related to the break-in.

Scott Andrew Selby, co-author of “Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History,” told the L.A. Times that the crime has “all the markings of a really well-thought-out job” that was done by a “professional crew.”

Despite this, he believes the thieves might not ultimately get away with the sophisticated heist.

“As technology progresses and the world gets small, there are a lot of ways you can mess up and get caught,” Selby said. 

“With touch DNA, the slightest mistake can expose the identity of a member of the crew, leading authorities to eventually identify their associates.”

Another mysterious aspect of the theft is that very few people reportedly knew that there were large sums of cash in that safe, according to law enforcement sources.

Anyone with information about the crime is being asked to contact the FBI at 1 800 CALL-FBI (225-5324) or online at tips.fbi.gov.

Bored Panda has contacted the Los Angeles Police Department for comment.

The burglars managed to avoid the facility’s alarm system

The previous biggest cash robbery in Los Angeles was the Dunbar Armored robbery in September 1997, in which six men stole $18.9 million from the former site of the Dunbar Armored building—a similar facility to GardaWorld— on Mateo Street.

The GardaWorld crime comes two years after thieves stole $100 million in jewels and valuables from a Brink’s big rig at a Southern California truck stop. 

On that occasion, burglars used a 27-minute time window where one driver slept in the vehicle’s sleeper berth while another ate a meal at a truck stop. The criminal or criminals still haven’t been caught.

Multiple people believe the crime was an “inside job” carried out by someone familiar with the building

Ça y est, après 6 mois de travail acharné, le développeur Maurice Heumann a réussi un sacré tour de force : craquer la protection Denuvo du jeu Hogwarts Legacy ! Il n’a évidemment pas fait ça pour pirater le jeu contrairement à d’autres qui ont réussi avant lui, puisque son but était d’en décortiquer les mécanismes pour comprendre comment ça fonctionnait dans les entrailles de la bête Denuvo. Ils sont donc 3 à ce jour à avoir réussi.

Du coup, il est resté assez vague sur les détails techniques pour éviter que ça parte en vrille. Mais ce que je peux vous dire, c’est que Denuvo c’est du costaud. Ce DRM utilise tout un tas d’astuces pour vérifier que vous avez bien acheté le jeu en créant une sorte « d’empreinte digitale » de votre PC. Ensuite, un petit ticket Steam est envoyé pour prouver que vous possédez bien le jeu. Ce ticket part direct sur les serveurs de Steam qui vérifient alors que tout est en règle. Une fois validé, un jeton Denuvo est généré, mais attention, il ne marche que sur le PC avec la bonne empreinte !

Et c’est pas fini puisque pendant que vous jouez, le jeu va régulièrement vérifier cette empreinte pour s’assurer que vous n’êtes pas en train de tricher. Notre ami Maurice en sa qualité de Gryffondor (ou un Serpentard, on ne sait pas trop) a donc réussi à détourner le système après des mois de reverse engineering pour identifier la plupart des vérifications d’empreinte, sans compter sur un coup de bol incroyable qui lui a permis de trouver le dernier déclencheur. Résultat des courses : avec environ 2000 rustines maison, il a pu lancer le jeu sur son laptop en utilisant un jeton généré sur son PC fixe.

Il a aussi voulu tester si Denuvo ralentissait vraiment les performances, comme beaucoup le pensent. Alors certes, il n’a pas pu faire des benchmarks dans les règles de l’art mais il a regardé à quelle fréquence Denuvo faisait ses petites vérifications.

Et surprise : les bouts de code Denuvo ne s’exécutent qu’une fois toutes les quelques secondes, ou lors des chargements. Donc pas de quoi fouetter un chat niveau performances. Ça rejoint d’ailleurs ce que Denuvo avait déclaré officiellement. Alors bien sûr, le crack de Maurice n’est pas parfait puisque le jeu plante encore de temps en temps mais son but c’était surtout d’arriver à lancer le jeu et atteindre le menu principal. L’idée une fois encore c’était de comprendre comment ce fameux DRM fonctionnait et il a réussi son coup ! Par contre, ne comptez pas sur lui pour vous donner tous les détails techniques… Un magicien sait garder ses secrets ^^.

Bianca Censori, the latest Mrs. West, has certainly not shied away from the spotlight since tying the knot with rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.

Her recent choice of outfit to dine out with her 46-year-old husband was essentially just her underwear—a busty black bra and flesh-colored lace tights. Some fans were underwhelmed at the fashion choice and said the 29-year-old Australian architect and model is running out of creative fuel for her outfits.

Ye and Bianca stepped out for dinner together at Gigi’s in Los Angeles on April 3, and for their date night, Bianca’s ensemble was daringly scant on fabric. The outfit marked yet another instance in Bianca’s growing catalog of risqué public appearances.

It seemed as though Bianca chose to forgo wearing underwear beneath her lace tights. But she strategically placed a black purse to cover her privates while walking down the streets of LA.

Meanwhile, Ye hid behind black sunglasses, even though it was nighttime, and he strolled by his wife’s side in his all-black outfit. The rapper had his hood up as well.

Instead of gasps of awe or shock, social media users collectively shrugged, as they are growing tired of seeing Bianca’s repetitive and unimaginative attempts at gaining attention.

“Everything Bianca Censori wears is ugly. Like, be so for real. Put an actual outfit on, please,” one critic wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Every time I see a video of Kanye and Bianca Censori out and about I get major Sims waiting for directions vibes from her.”

“If she looked confident, it’d be a different story, but maybe this is just a shot of her looking meek, timid, and uncomfortable,” a second comment said, while a third added, “She always looks so scared and uncomfortable idk maybe it’s just me.”

Bianca’s recent string of barely-anything outfits sparked speculation among fans about whether she’s in a controlling relationship, where Ye is parading her around in outfits of his choosing.

Recent reports cited sources and claimed Bianca is starting to feel used by her husband ahead of the release of his ‘Vultures 2’ album.

“She needs a break and needs to step back,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She loved the attention but it is getting overwhelming and Kanye keeps pushing and pushing for more, more, more leading up to the release of Vultures 2.”

The source claimed that Bianca feels like Ye is using her as a “marketing tool” to get as many eyeballs as possible and remain in the limelight. Moreover, the source noted that Bianca is interested in starting a family and having children after her husband’s album is out.

“She feels like he is using her as a free marketing tool – as does everyone else,” the source told the outlet. “These past couple of months have been an experience, but she really wants to focus on having children after the album drops. She knows she is overexposed.”

Recent reports further claimed that Bianca’s family had an issue with her recent outfits. However, her sister, Angelina Censori, dispelled the rumors and said her family supports Ye.

“We all support him. We support his new album. We support his new clothes he’s dropping,” Angelina was quoted telling the Herald Sun last month.

Angelina also said that claims about their father wanting to have a sit-down with Ye about his marriage with his daughter are “all just bulls—t.”

“My dad never talks,” she added. “Nothing’s true.”

Ye and Bianca’s Wednesday date night comes amid the news of a new lawsuit that the rapper is at the center of.

The music mogul was accused by a former employee of harassing his employees at Donda Academy, a school that Ye founded and named after his mother.

The employee, Trevor Phillips, also accused Ye of wanting to put kids in cages in the now-shuttered school.

“In front of the schoolchildren, Kanye continued his dangerous rhetoric. Kanye started to openly discuss how he only likes to date White women,” the lawsuit stated. “Then addressing the two school children, Kanye told them that he wanted them to shave their heads and that he intended to put a jail at the school — and that they could be locked in cages. The staff quickly distracted the children, and escorted them out of the room.”

Trevor, a Black man, further accused the rapper of treating his Black employees “palpably worse than white employees.”

The ex-employee claimed that Ye, on one occasion, ordered a Black campus security guard to have his dreads shaved off if he wanted to keep his job.

Trevor said in legal documents that Ye would openly make antisemitic comments and derogatory remarks against the LGBTQIA+ community.

“… He could not resist indulging in his favorite topic: ‘The Jews are GREEDY and they keep trying to take MY MONEY,'” read the lawsuit. “In addition to other repeated attacks on Jewish people, Kanye then began threatening the LGBTQ community. ‘Yeah I am going for the Gays! FIRST the Jews, THEN the Gays.'”

“Gay people are not true Christians,” the rapper was quoted saying in legal documents. “And Gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don’t have children for population control.”

Ye and artist Ty Dolla $ign were meant to hold “listening” parties for the Vultures 1 & 2 albums this month in arenas in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Charlotte, and Washington, D.C. However, just a day or two after the announcement was made, reports said the large-scale listening sessions were canceled, according to Variety.

“We regret to report that due to the time constraints for Ye and Ty Dolla $ign to curate production and meet logistic requirements, the upcoming dates for the VULTURES 1&2 listening experience will need to be revisited at a later date,” said a post from Amalie Arena last week.

Her outfits no longer make fans gasp in awe or shock. Social media users are now yawning at her outfits instead

Vous pourrez lancer la lecture d’un album, écouter la radio, taguer vos morceaux, accéder à des partages de fichiers via SMB et NFS, balancer le son en AirPlay ou avec Spotify Connect, faire du multiroom synchronisé et profiter de fonctionnalités audiophiles comme le support des formats hi-res, un égaliseur paramétrique, et divers algorithmes de rééchantillonnage. Pour les devs, y a même une API REST pour faire mumuse.

Et si vous avez besoin d’aide ou que vous voulez causer son entre passionnés, le forum moOde est là pour vous. Les devs sont ultra réactifs et la communauté est au taquet. Vous pouvez même choper les dernières news sur le développement du player.

Côté technique, si vous voulez mettre les mains dans le cambouis, un guide du développeur est dispo. Vous pourrez gérer les paquets et générer vos propres images.

Ah et j’allais oublier, les gars de moOde vous ont même concocté un petit DAC NOS (Non-Oversampling) à monter vous-même : le ProtoDAC. Il paraît que le son est d’enfer, surtout si vous utilisez des composants de qualité. Les plans et le guide sont dispos, vous avez juste à commander vos PCB et sortir votre fer à souder.

Bref, vous l’aurez compris, moOde c’est que du bon fait par des pro du son pour les audiophiles geeks qui aiment faire les choses eux-mêmes. Alors, n’attendez plus, foncez sur le site, chopez l’img et transformez votre Raspberry Pi en un lecteur audio de compèt’ !

Merci à François pour le partage !

Figurez-vous que notre cher Google Books s’est mis à indexer des livres générés par IA, et autant vous dire que niveau qualité, on est plus proche du papier toilette que du prix Goncourt ! 🧻

En farfouillant un peu, on peut tomber sur ces fameux bouquins en cherchant des phrases typiques des réponses de ChatGPT, genre « Désolé, en tant que modèle de langage…« . Et là, surprise ! On tombe sur des dizaines de livres qui contiennent cette phrase, mais qui n’ont rien à voir avec le sujet de l’IA.

Prenez par exemple ce chef-d’œuvre. Ça se la joue guide ultime pour les débutants en trading, mais en vrai, c’est juste du blabla généré par ChatGPT avec une analyse superficielle digne de Wikipédia. Autant apprendre la bourse avec Picsou Magazine ! Et que dire de celui-ci, publié en mars 2024 ? Ce bouquin est tellement has been qu’il parle encore de Twitter alors qu’Elon Musk a transformé ce truc en X depuis belle lurette. C’est comme sortir un guide sur comment utiliser Lycos ou Caramail en 2024 !

Le pire, c’est que ces bouquins générés par IA risquent de se retrouver dans le Google Ngram Viewer, un outil hyper important utilisé par les chercheurs pour suivre l’évolution de la langue à travers les bouquins scannés par Google. Si ces machins se mettent à polluer les résultats, ça va devenir le bordel intersidéral.

Bref, Google a intérêt à se bouger le fondement pour filtrer tout ce contenu généré par IA, sinon on court droit à la catastrophe. Mais les connaissant, ils vont sûrement nous sortir un truc bullshit du genre « On travaille sur une approche innovante basée sur l’IA pour évaluer la qualité des livres de manière disruptive et révolutionnaire, t’inquiète » et on en verra jamais la couleur.

En attendant, méfiez-vous des bouquins chelous sur Google Books et Amazon, parce que y’a de grandes chances que ce soit juste du caca pondu par une IA pas très futée et sans relecture humaine derrière. Et si vous voulez en savoir plus sur ce sujet passionnant (ou pas), jetez un œil à cet article.
