To find the most affordable metros in America, we took the 100 most populous metropolitan areas across the country and weighed them based on 10 different metrics. These metrics were then sorted into three crucial categories:
Financial Affordability (60%): Since daily expenses impact your overall financial freedom, this section holds the most weight. We examined the average annual wage, wage growth from 2022 to 2025, median monthly rent and utilities, the rent-to-income ratio, and the overall cost of living.
Opportunity & Access (24%): An ideal city should provide both community and solid career prospects, so for this category, we measured employment growth, the percentage of young adults aged 22 to 34, and rental availability.
Entertainment & Dining (16%): Finally, independent living should include activities beyond work, so we also tracked the per capita rate of arts, recreation, restaurants, and bars.

Dyson's $499 Camera Toothbrush - Which one of you OT ballers is buying?
Posted by Shexter on 9/2/26 at 2:30 pm
quote:
Dyson’s new $499 CameraJet hides a 1mm camera under the brush head, reading 28 images a second, and within 100 milliseconds of spotting a gap between your teeth it fires a cone of mouthrinse straight into it. That single lens is why Dyson also had to formulate its own non-foaming toothpaste, because bubbles blind a camera. It is also why the 12.5ml tank runs a diaphragm pump and pressure chamber, so the jet still fires when you tilt the handle sideways to reach your back molars. One optical decision rewrote the rest of the product. Call it innovation, or call it vertical integration.
James Dyson unveiled it in Paris this morning, capping six years of work, 661 engineers and 38 patents. The vision system is called Gap Optical Targeting, trained on 470,000 dental images and running 16 million lines of code, all so a toothbrush can find the spaces nine in ten of us never floss. It ships today at $499, or £419.99 in the UK, in Ceramic Ultra Blue and Ceramic Pink. You also get a dock that refills the tank in three seconds and RFID brush heads that count their own cleans. Every one of those parts exists because somebody decided a toothbrush needs eyesight.

quote:
The jet took years of refinement on its own, because the shape of the water is about as important as the camera aiming it. Traditional water flossers use what Dyson calls a needle jet, a narrow, piercing stream that punches through a plaque deposit without actually lifting it away. Dyson’s engineers went hunting for a shape that would sweep plaque off the tooth instead of tunneling through it, and landed on a broad conical spray fired at lower pressure. To test that idea without running a clinical trial every time they tweaked the nozzle, Dyson spent five years building its own synthetic plaque with the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Dentistry.

Man uses robot vacuum to catch cheating wife, wins $16,000 case, then gets jailed
Posted by Shexter on 9/1/26 at 4:23 pm
quote:
A man has won a legal battle against his wife by using footage from a robot vacuum to prove she was having an affair, but it was a Pyrrhic victory. Because he secretly filmed her, he was fined around 30% of the roughly $16,000 he won and sentenced to five months in prison.
https://www.techspot.com/news/113677-man-uses-robot-vacuum-covertly-record-wife-affair.html
quote:
His suspicions arose in late 2023, when he discovered a used toothbrush at the holiday home. He then checked surveillance footage from a garage and identified an unknown man who had previously driven his wife home.
It seems catching his wife in the act was an accident. Three months later, the man remotely activated their robot vacuum cleaner via its mobile application. He was planning to use it to communicate with her. Instead, his suspicions were confirmed by the vacuum's live video feed, so he decided to record everything.
quote:
The video showed the woman changing clothes, embracing the man who appeared in the previous video, and walking around the house naked while he lounged on the sofa.
The husband later used the footage to sue his wife and the man for infringement of spousal rights under Taiwan's civil law, seeking $68,000. The court found in his favor, determining that the wife's relationship with the other man had surpassed the limits of ordinary friendship, though the husband was awarded the much lower sum of around $16,000.
Florida now setting up fake 3D printed flock cameras to bust vandals
Posted by Shexter on 9/1/26 at 4:19 pm
quote:
News 6 Orlando reports that police in Oviedo, Florida, have charged a man with three felonies for destroying a Flock surveillance camera, even though the camera was fake. Even the mayor, who was unaware of the decoy operation before the arrest, admitted the charges are controversial.
Evan Meyer, 24, faces counts of criminal mischief causing more than $1,000 in damage, grand theft involving property valued between $750 and $5,000, and damaging or taking a computer, electronic device, or related equipment. However, although Meyer believed he was destroying a real Flock camera, which he estimated might cost up to $5,000 to install, what he actually destroyed was a 3D-printed decoy that was likely far cheaper. Police also said a Flock camera actually costs only around $800, not including installation fees.

quote:
After several of Oviedo's cameras disappeared, authorities planted a decoy and waited until they caught Meyer removing it with pruning shears while wearing black clothing, gloves, and a face mask. Sladek, a lawyer who works part-time as mayor, later told 404 Media that even if the felonies do not stick, Meyer could still theoretically be charged with vandalizing art. A police spokesperson told the outlet that an officer printed the decoy at home using a personal 3D printer, so it did not cost the city any money.

Dale Sanders, 91, reclaims record as oldest hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail

Dale Sanders, 91, celebrates upon completing his hike of the Appalachian Trail at the summit of Mt. Katahdin, Monday, Aug. 31, 2026 in Baxter State Park in Piscataquis County, Maine.
quote:
By his count, Sanders fell 71 times while reclaiming his record as the oldest hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail. Six were what he calls hard falls, including one that led to a brief hospitalization and another just 200 yards from the finish. But none were enough to permanently divert him from the 2,193-mile (3,530-kilometer) trail that runs between Springer Mountain in Georgia and Mount Katahdin in Maine.
quote:
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy defines a thru-hike as completing all of the trail’s sections in any order within a year, allowing for pauses. Sanders started Sept. 6 in West Virginia, hopscotched around with some brief breaks and finished Monday atop Maine’s highest peak, where he paused to pray at the sign marking the summit.
“I had to thank God, and I had to thank my support team and everybody that got me here,” he said.

Old LSU coach, Jerry Stovall, has died

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Jerry Stovall, the legendary LSU football player, coach, and athletic administrator, has died at the age of 85, according to Matt Moscona, host of “After Further Review” on 104.5 ESPN Radio.
quote:
Stovall was a unanimous All-American for the Tigers in 1962. He was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and won the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy the same season. He went on to be the second overall pick in the 1963 NFL Draft and was a three-time Pro Bowler during his nine seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals.
quote:
After his professional playing career, Stovall returned to LSU as an assistant coach under Charles McClendon. Following the tragic death of newly hired head coach Bo Rein in a 1980 plane crash, Stovall was named the head coach of his alma mater.
quote:
After football, Stovall spent time in banking before returning to college athletics as athletic director at Louisiana Tech from 1990 to 1994. He later became president and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Sports Foundation, working to bring sporting events to the region he called home throughout his life.
Stovall remains the only player in LSU history to be a unanimous All-American, a first-round NFL draft pick, a 3-time Pro Bowler, and a College Football Hall of Fame inductee, an honor he received in 2010. His No. 21 hangs retired in Baton Rouge, a tribute to a player who did just about everything the game asked of him.
