Netflix’s New Account of a Harrowing Murder Chills the Top 10 to the Bone

True crime documentaries – especially those that focus on either serial killers or grisly individual murders – have become so popular that it’s borderline uncomfortable. Anything that features a deep dive account of something so horrific you can barely look away is guaranteed to play like gangbusters among subscribers to any streaming service, with Netflix’s Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case the latest example. Per FlixPatrol, the haunting exploration of the events leading up to, during, and after the brutal slaying of…

AI analysis will predict future disease from bone density scans

Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and other disease, even before symptoms appear.Just as calcification, or the deposit of calcium, on the inner wall of blood vessels in the heart can be problematic, so can calcification of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Exiting the heart, it branches upward to supply blood to the brain and arms and extends down to the…

There’s Still Hope for ‘Shadow and Bone,’ Despite Multiple Strikes — And the Ever-Present Netflix Issue — Looming Over It

I wrote off season three of Shadow and Bone months ago. Despite my hopes to see the show return (or at least give us a Six of Crows spin-off) its chances seemed less than zero a month ago. Some fresh developments raised hopes for the show’s future, however, even as two warring strikes and Netflix’s vendetta against fantasy weigh those hopes down.  The same weight is damping down hype over a number of upcoming projects, but they shouldn’t impact anything already filmed. So we’ll still be getting Good Omens 2, and even a…

I replaced my Shokz with these bone conduction headphones for one key reason

Jack Wallen/ZDNETI've been using Shokz bone-conducting headphones and they are impressive.The reason the first run outing was less than spectacular was that I had trouble with the sound. The sound was far too soft and no matter how many times I swiped up on the touchpad, it wouldn't increase. That's problematic for bone-conducting headphones because your ears are wide open and the ambient sound can easily drown out the music.Also: Best earbuds you can buy right nowFortunately, the ensuing runs didn't suffer from that

These open-ear headphones ditch the bone conduction tech for something shockingly better

Matthew Miller/ZDNETI discovered bone conduction headphones in 2018. And since then, it's the only type of headphones I use for running and biking. Of course, there are some compromises with bone conduction technology, such as limited bass support, vibrations that may cause discomfort to some people, and lower audio performance than that provided by traditional earbuds or over-ear headphones.Also: Why these bone conduction headphones are my go-to for outdoor listeningHowever, the ability to retain awareness of your…

Early Human Ancestors Ate Each Other for Food, Fossil Leg Bone Suggests

A fossilized leg bone bearing cut marks made by stone tools might be the earliest evidence that ancient humans butchered and ate each other’s flesh. The 1.45-million-year-old hominin bone, described in Scientific Reports on 26 June, features cuts similar to butchery marks found on fossilized animal bones from around the same time. The scrapes are located at an opportune spot for removing muscle, suggesting that they were made with the intention of carving up the carcass for food. “The most logical conclusion is, like…

Shokz OpenFit delivers open-ear audio without bone conduction

The team at Shokz has made a name for itself in the bone conduction headset market over the past several years and they’ve decided to change things up a bit this time around. Today, the company announced its newest headphones and while it's still an open-ear design, it’s not bone conduction. The Shokz OpenFit Bluetooth earbuds ($179.95) are called “air conduction” in a twist on the brand’s bone conduction brethren. Like many open-ear buds before them, they are positioned just outside of your ear with an over-the-ear hook…

These $130 bone conduction headphones handle sweaty runs, and replaced my Shokz

Jack Wallen/ZDNETI've been using Shokz bone-conducting headphonesZDNET RECOMMENDS Mojawa Run Plus headphones Sweat-proof and sounding great, these bone-conducting headphones will go the distance for you and then some. The first runI'm not going to lie. The first run wasn't exactly a spectacular outing. However, the initial impression of the hardware itself was impressive. One complaint I've had (for the longest time) about the Shokz headphones: The button to pause and skip songs is tiny. Even worse, it can be
