BERLIN ?  Police say a man angered by a family feud has set off explosives outside his house in Germany, killing himself and wounding seven people in a small village.

Police spokesman Thomas Rodemer said that following an argument inside his home in Homberg village in Hesse state, the 49-year-old man drove away in his car, then returned and blew himself up inside the vehicle parked outside the house.

The seven people slightly wounded by debris from the explosion included family members, neighbors and two police officers who had been called to settle the family argument.  The blast also damaged neighboring homes.

Rodemer said the bomber had a license to use explosives and that police are investigating the case.

    • Another reason not to buy Intel. Like we haven't had enough of them already.
    • Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X with Snapdragon X is down to $499.99, a great deal for students by Paul Hill Are you in the market for a new Copilot+ PC laptop that won’t demolish your bank balance? If so, check out the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X, released earlier this year. It’s currently discounted by 26% down from $679.99 to $499.99. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X features a 15.3-inch WUXGA display, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor. As part of this purchase, you’ll also get a complimentary 3 months of Xbox PC Game Pass. Please keep in mind that it’s the start of Amazon’s Prime Day event, which ironically lasts four days. You can get a Prime member trial, and with this laptop deal, your package will arrive faster. You’ll also be able to get Prime-only deals. To clarify, this laptop is not a Prime Day deal, but it is at its lowest price. As a Copilot+ PC, this Lenovo comes with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that’s capable of 45 TOPS for on-device AI tasks. This means you’ll have access to features like Windows Recall that are limited to Copilot+ devices. The Snapdragon X chip also enables other AI features, including Copilot integration, enhanced Windows Studio Effects (background blurring, auto-framing, and portrait lighting), Live Captions with real-time translation, and AI-powered creativity tools like Paint Cocreator. The Snapdragon X processor should be fine for everyday tasks such as productivity and AI; however, this is not a gaming laptop or for heavy content creation like intense video editing. Lenovo also says that this laptop’s battery will last all day thanks to the processor’s efficiency, making it a good pick for students and remote workers. As a laptop with a long battery, there’s a good chance you’ll be lugging it around with you from place to place, so Lenovo has included premium durability with a military-grade MIL-STD 810H metal chassis. There is also a physical webcam shutter and fingerprint reader for more privacy and security, and if you need more storage, there’s an SSD slot that you can add additional storage to. In terms of ports, there are 2x USB-A, USB-C, an SD card slot, HDMI, and an audio jack.

    • Hey I really can wait for this to happen ! Like, totally looking backward.
    • Copilot+ PCs are coming to desktop thanks to Intel's upcoming processors by Taras Buria Microsoft's Copilot+ PC initiative is now over one year old, but so far, it has only been available on tablets and laptops, with a couple of mini-PCs in between. However, it looks like Intel's next-generation desktop processors, codenamed Arrow Lake Refresh, will finally bring Copilot+ PC capabilities to desktop computers. The biggest requirement for a PC to support all Copilot+ PC features, such as Recall, Click to Do, Windows Studio Effects, and more, is a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of delivering at least 40 TOPS. Intel already has desktop chips with NPUs, but they provide fewer TOPS, which makes them ineligible for Copilot+ PC. That should change in the Arrow Lake Refresh generation. According to a recent report, the next Core Ultra series will feature the NPU 4 design borrowed from Intel's mobile processors that support Copilot+ PC features (Lunar Lake), making the new series the first desktop processor lineup in the Copilot+ PC program. For reference, AMD's latest mobile chips also have eligible NPUs, but the desktop processors are still "regular" in terms of Windows 11's AI capabilities. Besides a newer, more powerful NPU, Arrow Lake Refresh is expected to bring faster clocks to make Core Ultra desktop chips better at gaming. The Core Ultra 200 Series was disappointing in this regard, and AMD's X3D chips outperform Intel's latest offering on the gaming side. However, Arrow Lake Refresh is not expected to offer more processor or graphics cores. Instead, it will focus on improving AI workloads and general performance thanks to slightly higher clock speeds. Intel Arrow Lake Refresh is expected to launch later this year with the same LGA-1851 socket, which will then be replaced by the Nova Lake and its LGA-1954 socket.
