Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ review: An ultraportable for Arc Raiders, thanks to Intel's Panther Lake MSI's Prestige 14 Flip AI+ is a remarkably powerful ultraportable, thanks to Intel's Panther Lake chips. But it's held back by a clunky trackpad and weak keyboard. .

The first ultraportable I've tested with Intel's new Panther Lake chips can play Arc Raiders and gets great battery life, a damn shame about the awful mechanical trackpad though www.engadget.com/computing/la...

Canon EOS R6 III review: A video powerhouse that's also great for photography Canon's EOS R6 III is a midrange camera that's outstanding for content creation thanks to the RAW video and excellent autofocus.

Competition is tight in the mid-range mirrorless camera segment right now. Canon's new 33MP EOS R6 III beats Sony's A7 V for video creation, but the A7 V is better for photos. Either way, both are great cameras www.engadget.com/cameras/cano...
