Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform. That is if you purchase an iPhone 15 Pro, which is powered by the cutting-edge six-core A17 Pro chipset that allows for the games to run natively on the device with ray-tracing enabled. Games like Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.
Parking and Poop: The Biggest Nextdoor Neighborhood Drama in 50 Cities
25.08.2023 - 12:15 / pcmag.com
Keeping the peace with your neighbors can be tricky, and anyone who has joined their community's Nextdoor group knows people have a lot of opinions. But there are a few types of issues that really get people going, a new study of Nextdoor posts reveals.
The analysis, conducted by Regional Foundational Repair, evaluates content from 58,735 posts and 354,972 comments in 50 of America’s biggest cities. By considering over 200 keywords and grouping similar words—say, "bark, barks, barking, and barked”—the study creates categories such as "barking complaints."
Speaking of barking, the top most-discussed topic across all cities is dogs, followed by cats, and then parking. For the increased number people working from home, barking could be particularly bothersome. The cities with the noisiest pups are Raleigh, Oakland, and Virginia Beach.
Dogs bring another not-so-welcome addition to the neighborhood: poop. Residents across the country commonly complain about owners not picking up after their furry friends. Arlington, Texas; San Diego; and Washington, D.C. have the top three highest complaint numbers (and likely, the smelliest shoes after a walk).
Cats also cause quite a stir on messaging boards, though for different reasons. "With a natural sense of curiosity and independence, cats are commonly seen wandering around neighborhoods, strolling through gardens, running across the streets, and exploring every nook and cranny," the study reads.
Outdoor cats, particularly feral ones, can inspire some adorable posts with their litters of kittens, which they can have as often as two to three times a year ("Anyone want this kitten?"). The study found that cities tend to mention "feral" and "kittens" at similar rates: Fresno, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, and Mesa, Arizona, appeared in the top 10 for both terms.
Other popular discussion topics revolve around traffic and parking. California residents are particularly peeved about these topics, with four or five of their cities in the top 10 for both categories. Sacramento took the prize for most traffic complaints, and San Diego topped the list for parking—surprisingly, beating out New York City (10th).
Another unexpected outcome: Los Angeles, which is infamous for traffic, had the fewest traffic complaints of all cities in the study. "Maybe people have accepted the constant congestion during their commute as normal, and so they don’t bother talking about it with their neighbors," the report concludes.
Construction and noise also get their fair share of airtime on Nextdoor, though the study did not find as much of a correlation between the two as you might think. Only two cities appear in the top 10 on both lists: Sacramento and San Diego. For construction, the top

Want to watch the Annular Solar Eclipse 2023? Know where and check NASA guidelines first
Have you ever witnessed a fire in the shape of a ring in the sky? Well, that spectacular phenomenon happens because of a solar eclipse and one is coming very soon. According to NASA, an annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun while it's at its farthest point from our planet. This unique positioning results in the Moon appearing slightly smaller than the Sun, leaving a radiant "ring of fire" around the edges of the solar disk.

160-foot asteroid charging towards Earth; NASA reveals its speed, distance and more
Did you know that an asteroid struck Earth this year? While it wasn't a planet killer that wiped out entire species like another space rock did about 65 million years ago, this one did hit the surface. As per NASA, a meteorite turned into an atmospheric fireball on February 15 and crashed near McAllen, Texas. Law enforcement agencies in the McAllen region received several calls from residents who reported hearing a loud explosion. It was a 1000-pound rock that was 2 feet in diameter as it broke into pieces about 21 miles above Earth's surface.
