Pokémon GO Plus+ Is Double Plus Good at Catching Pokémon
Woe is me. As journalists, we’re supposed to maintain objectivity, but I can’t help but covet the Pokémon GO Plus+. Despite its silly, repetitive name (yes, it’s actually pronounced “plus plus”), pre-orders of the second-generation automatic Pokémon catcher are closed. So, I’ll have to remind myself to hop online in…

Why Are EVs Always Catching on Fire?
Every few months we see a story about an electric vehicle catching on fire or that they’re dangerous and could spontaneously combust. If you’re planning to buy an EV, you’ve likely seen the headlines. So, are EVs really burning down everywhere, and are they at a greater risk of catching fire? It’s complicated, but the answer is no.

Cops seize £170,000 Lamborghini after catching driver behind the wheel without any insurance
COPS have seized a £170,000 Lamborghini after catching the driver behind the wheel without any insurance.
The bright blue Lamborghini Huracan, which can cost up to nearly £300,000, was spotted on the M60 near Swinton, Manchester.

And officers stopped the flashy supercar after they realised the supercar’s registration plate was not recognised.
They then proceeded to pull the driver over on the hard shoulder of the motorway.
Traffic cops then said that the driver was found to be using his friends’ motor without insurance.
He was then reported for offences before the supercar was seized.
Greater Manchester Police’s Traffic page shared images of the expensive motor on Twitter today.
In their post, they announced that the vehicle had been taken by officers under Section S165 of the Road Traffic Act.
The post read: “This Lamborghini Huracan was seen on the M60 near Swinton today with a number plate that didn’t exist on PNC.
“Vehicle stopped and driver found to be using his friends car without insurance.
“Vehicle seized and driver reported for offences. #GMP #Lamborghini #Seized #S165 @NWmwaypolice.”
The Italian supercar has a top speed of 212mph and sports a powerful V10 engine.
First released on the market back in 2014, the Huracan is a fan favourite and can go from 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds.
The motor also comes with a Rally driving mode that allows for fun off-road trail driving.
Sadly, Lamborghini says 2023 will be the Huracán’s final year of production before it’s replaced with a new supercar model.
Lamborghini is well-known for its cutting edge designs and robust engines which make it one of the world’s most famous car brands.
It comes after a driver had his £200,000 Lamborghini Urus taken by police because of a bizarre rule stating he was too young.
And cops seized another flash Lamborghini after the driver breached road laws.
Meanwhile, a millionaire social media star saw his £1million McLaren taken away after he flouted insurance rules.

Bumble open-sourced its AI tool for catching unwanted nudes
Since 2019, Bumble has used machine learning to protect its users from lewd photos. Dubbed Private Detector, the feature screens images sent from matches to determine if they depict inappropriate content. It was primarily designed to catch unsolicited nude photos, but can also flag shirtless selfies and images of guns – both of which aren’t allowed on Bumble. When there’s a positive match, the app will blur the offending image, allowing you to decide if you want to view it, block it or report the person who sent it to you.
In a recent blog post, Bumble announced it was open-sourcing Private Detector, making the framework available on Github. “It’s our hope that the feature will be adopted by the wider tech community as we work in tandem to make the internet a safer place,” the company said, in the process acknowledging that it’s only one of many players in the online dating market.
Unwanted sexual advances are a frequent reality for many women both online and in the real world. A 2016 study found that 57 percent of women felt they were harassed on the dating apps they used. More recently, a 2020 study from the United Kingdom found that 76 percent of girls between the ages of 12 and 18 have been sent unsolicited nude images. The problem extends beyond dating apps too, with apps like Instagram working on their own solutions.
