It's a popular concept that's since been taken up by products such as the Govee TV Backlight which uses LED strips and a camera. The Philips LED TVs feature a 4K UHD resolution with HDR10 support, and come in 43-inch, 5

The Onion Made an Absolutely Unhinged Jeffrey Epstein Mockumentary

wired.com Manisha Krishnan 2025-10-13 03:00:00

In a world where hallowed news organizations transform into conservative mouthpieces and milquetoast late-night jokes are grounds for suspension, satirical headlines from the Onion can feel closer to real life than parody. Now the site is taking on one of the most taboo subjects of all—disgraced sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein—in mockumentary form. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is a 20-minute satire that’s half biopic, half true crime, and 100 percent dumb (complimentary). It laun

Philips Norelco i9000 Shaver Review (2025): A Close Shave

You never really expect your shaver to have an opinion about you. And yet here I was, receiving a failing grade from Philips Norelco’s new i9000 Prestige Ultra shaver, released this spring. According to a phone app paired to the device, I had apparently been using my shaver wrong. I'd pressed too daintily, whispering along my skin too lightly for an optimal shave. My stats were, in fact, downright abysmal. I had applied optimal pressure just 30 percent of the time. By extension, I had probably
