Is it possible that it was a leaking gas line that caused the explosion? I don't want to draw conclusions that someone intended to do this on purpose until evidence is shown.

No, there have been a couple of confirmed reports of 2 packages on the sidewalk. Actually in one of the videos you can see someone approach the packages right before it explodes, but they edited the video already. Also there are so many cameras around this area, whoever did it will be caught.

I think all news should be treated as rumor so far. Let's not spread panic. :(

Boston Police are telling people to stay away from trash cans. I think it is safe to say that confirms this was deliberate. By definition, if a bomb was left in trash cans, this is a terrorist attack.

Just saw this on Reddit. Don't know how legit it is but...

From radio scanner (most recent first):

"police are going to use a water cannon on boylson, you're gonna hear a loud controlled explosion of remaining bags by ground zero momentarily"

"all detectives on boylson make sure you have your tape recorders with you"

"Another possible incendiary device at UMass Library. Get it out on social media that people should get away from the area as soon as possible"

"At this time all victims are off the street"

"Stay off boylson until it has been swept"

"several suspect packages still up on boylson street"

"Plan: we're gonna get the victims out, sweep the street for other devices, then get people out of restaurants and bars"

To anyone now who thinks this was just a gas pipe I now believe you are wrong and it was indeed a bombing.

Pretty much.

Police have found an exploded device and will have a controlled explosion within one minute near 600 Boylston across from the Boston Public Library.

Do you believe it is the Taliban or another group? Is that info avalible yet?

Edit: Just throwing this out there: North Korea?

Judging by the scale, I'd say this was the work of someone else, and not a sanctioned attack by those groups. North Korea would never stoop to a terrorist attack. It's too small of an attack for something North Korea to do.

oi vey.. its not north korea

Yeah, for North Korea... but it's stupid to speculate it was North Korea... this is likely the act of a loan person or a couple of persons.

I guess you guys are right. We need to wait for more information.

Apparently the Death Toll is now at 12.... This is horrifying.

I'm surprised at how quickly the death toll has risen, as it didn't look that serious from the initial coverage.

As for suspects, North Korea isn't even slightly credible and it's concerning that anyone would even suspect them. The most likely groups would be white supremacists or religious extremists (either Christian or Muslim), though we really should wait for more information.

A water cannot wouldn't cause an explosion, unless it was being directed at a bomb.. so that was likely a third device.

Agreed. As sick as this incident is, it's too small of a terror act for intention of starting a war.

Let's all keep our cool until we know all the details.

That could just be a precautionary measure, warn people to clear the area and stay away from more potential bomb containers. Police will often give such warnings while an investigation is ongoing.

I think its a bit early to say with any certainty that NK is NOT involved, or do you have some special source of information on the investigation that no one else has perhaps?

IMO, we wait and see.

As far as I'm concerned, yes, whomever is responsible, they're out to cause fear, which is the definition of a terror attack.

Doesn't matter what individual or group is responsible, it's a terrorist attack.

Could also been a possible gas line explosion? Too early to tell.

They will get to the bottom of it and will know within the next few days.

Don't want to jump to conclusions before we have any information.

That's why a bomb or some kind was also found at a library?

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
