Hasta La Gadget!

Word on the street is that Canon has a new DSLR in the works in the form of the Canon EOS 6D MK II. We’ve heard some rumors about the camera, but the folks at Canon Rumors have since published a blog post in which additional details have been revealed, such as its specs and also potential pricing.

Starting with specs, what we’re looking at is a camera that will sport a 26MP CMOS sensor which will be powered by Canon’s DIGIC 7 image processor. We’re also talking about video capture features such as Full HD 1080p at 60fps, support for SD cards, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and a vari-angle 3-inch LCD touchscreen display.

The camera will also have a 45 AF point system that will be cross-type, and in terms of pricing, we’re looking at a price tag of $1,999 for the body-only. According to Canon Rumors, this is actually $100 cheaper than what the Canon EOS 6D cost when it first launched, which we guess is good news for would-be customers.

So far if everything sounds good, the report claims that the announcement of the camera should take place on the 29th of June, 2017, with a release and shipping set tentatively early August. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we should have the details soon.

With there being multiple choices when it comes to public transportation, sometimes there is usually more than one way you can get to your destination. One of those methods is trains which is a pretty common method of transportation in countries around the world, but over in France, the country wants to upgrade their existing systems.

In a report from FranceInfo (via Engadget), it has been reported that the country’s state-owned railway company SNCF is planning on deploying autonomous high-speed trains that will operate along its TGV lines by 2023. Initial trials are expected to begin some time in 2019, which means that there’s still quite a bit of waiting to do.

These autonomous trains will rely on a host of external sensors that will be used to automate braking when obstacles are detected on the tracks. SNCF is also hoping that with the use of autonomous trains, more tedious tasks such as hooking up various cars before departure can be done so more efficiently.

It is also said that with these autonomous trains, the time in between trains could even be cut down from 180 seconds to 108 seconds, which is pretty impressive. In France, the country’s subways in Paris are already automated, but as the adjoint director of the SNCF, Matthieu Chabanel told FranceInfo, it’s a different story when dealing with an open environment where other factors like trees, animals, and people have to be accounted for.

SEATTLE, June 19 (Reuters) – Two white Seattle police officers on Sunday fatally shot a 30-year-old black mother who had called them to investigate a burglary and whose family said had deteriorating mental health.

Both Seattle Police Department officers opened fire on the woman, named by family as Charleena Lyles, inside the apartment building after they said she confronted them brandishing a knife, police said. She died at the scene.

There were several children inside the apartment during Sunday’s incident, though they were uninjured, police said.

“There is no reason for her to be shot in front of her babies,” Monika Williams, the sister of the slain woman, told reporters outside the apartment building. “She had mental health issues that nobody is trying to address.”

The incident comes four days after Lyles was released from King County Jail following her arrest on June 5 for threatening police officers with large kitchen scissors inside her small and cluttered apartment, according to a police incident report filed in Seattle Municipal Court.

During a tense standoff with officers, two of whom had weapons drawn, the woman told police they were “devils and also members of the KKK,” a reference to the white-supremacy group, the police report said of the earlier incident. An officer was able to convince the woman to drop the scissors and she was arrested.

The report also said family members told police Lyles was experiencing a sudden decline in her mental health condition and had not behaved similarly in the past.

A police spokesman did not immediately respond to a e-mail asking whether the officers on June 5 were the same officers who shot Lyles on Sunday, or whether the officers had received training on how to properly handle a mental health or domestic crisis.

The police statement said two officers were required to respond because of “information pertaining to this address that presented an increased risk to officers.”

Both officers will be placed on paid administrative leave as the department investigates the shooting, police said.

The Seattle Police Department has been implementing court-ordered reforms since 2012 to address what a U.S. Justice Department investigation found to be a pattern of excessive force by officers that often arose during encounters with the mentally ill or drug-addled suspects.

Federal investigators also found evidence of biased policing.

Several mourners gathered outside the apartment complex early on Sunday evening for a vigil and memorial for Lyles, according to photos posted online by local media.

Photos of Lyles and her children were posted on black plastic chairs and people brought placards that read Black Lives Matter, a movement that grew out of protests against the police killings of unarmed black men in a number of cities across the United States.

Megyn Kelly challenged Alex Jones’ most inflammatory conspiracy theories in a much-anticipated interview that aired Sunday night on her new NBC News show, but Jones ducked even her toughest questions.

The 17-minute long interview had prompted a public furore when it was first announced last week, with critics accusing Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly of lending credence to the right-wing radio personality’s views by giving him a mainstream platform. Jones has in the past called the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a “hoax” and claimed that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was linked to a child sex ring.

“Some thought we shouldn’t broadcast this interview because his baseless allegations aren’t just offensive, they’re dangerous,” Kelly, a former Fox News anchor, said, “But here’s the thing. Alex Jones isn’t going away. Over the years his YouTube channel has racked up 1.3 billion views. He has millions of listeners and the ear of our current president.”

Kelly had used a similar line of reasoning last week in response to the overwhelming backlash to the Jones interview, claiming that her job as a journalist was to “shine a light” on the “influential” Jones, who despite his “outrageous conspiracy theories,” has the ear of President Trump.

Jones refused to take back his remarks about the Sandy Hook massacre, which led to a Florida woman harassing the parents of one of the twenty children killed in the 2012 attack.

“I do think there is cover-up and manipulation, that’s pretty much what I believed,” he said. “I was going into devil’s advocate but we know there are mass shootings and these things happen.”

“You’re trying to have it all ways,” Kelly shot back.

“No, I’m not,” Jones responded, later adding that he “didn’t create that story.” 

Kelly noted in a voiceover that Jones “never completely disavowed his previous statement.” The program also aired the reaction of Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son Jesse died in the shooting. 

“It’s disrespectful to me,” said Heslin, referring to Jones’ comments on the massacre. “I take that very personal.” 

Kelly questioned Jones about “Pizzagate,” the widely debunked story that Clinton staffers were running a child sex ring out of the a D.C. pizza restaurant. That hoax, which Jones promoted on his show, led to one man storming the restaurant with an assault rifle. 

She also grilled Jones on his reaction to the Manchester bombing last month, which left 22 people dead including many children. 

MEGYN KELLY: You said, “It was a bunch of liberal trendies who were killed, the same people who are promoting open borders, bringing Islamists in.

ALEX JONES: Yes.

MEGYN KELLY: In response to which, many people looked at the victims, many of whom were 15, 14. There was a little eight…

ALEX JONES: No. I’m sorry I didn’t blow ‘em up. I know. But I did something bad, though?

Kelly referred to Jones’ responses as “classic Alex Jones.”

“That pattern, reckless accusations followed by equivocation and excuses, is classic Alex Jones,” she said. 

The immediate reaction to the segment was mixed, with both Kelly and Jones supporters calling it a victory for their side. Many critics concluded that the much-hyped interview was neither as “dreadful” as had been feared nor as hard-hitting as it could have been. Far-right commentators panned the interview as a “hatchet job” and a “hit piece.” 

Others said the interview had been “unobjectionable” at best, with Kelly asking “tough questions” but not demanding “hard answers” in return.

Said Slate’s Will Oremus: “We already knew Jones was a liar and a poseur. We learned next to nothing new about the deeper question of how and why he rose to prominence, and what that says about America and the media today.”

Still others, however, retained the view that the segment had provided a mainstream platform to a fringe conspiracy theorist and his outlandish views.

Jones touted the interview as a huge win. Live-streaming his reaction to the segment, Jones ― who raged against Kelly, calling her a “liar” ― popped open a bottle of champagne and toasted his victory.

A scan of social media also shows the interview won Jones a few new fans.
