The Verge snapped some photos of the apocalyptic scene in the Big Apple yesterday — from amber skies to desolate streets. To stay updated, you can follow the EPA’s air quality monitoring tool AirNow. Its forecast for Thursday is still bad — not quite a Code Maroon (hopefully) but a Code Red for “unhealthy” air.

Diablo IV’s marketing has gotten out of control.
Blizzard, when you say “Welcome to Hell,” to advertise your demon killing game, you’re not supposed to actually recreate hell on earth like the one east coasters are currently experiencing due to devastating Canadian wildfires.

This wildfire did not care that I put on the mask.
Just did a short mini-testing session for the Dyson Zone now that New York City is an orange dystopian hellscape. I don’t recommend doing this, and I was only out there for about 10 minutes (with an N95 mask too). Ultimately, the air filtering feature worked, but the app consistently said the real-time air quality was good and battery drain was... not great Bob! Filmed some footage so keep an eye out for that on our social channels.
