    Hisense’s ultra-short throw laser projector is now Xbox certified.

    The company claims its triple laser PX3-PRO is the world’s first UST projector to be “Designed for Xbox.” What that means isn’t entirely clear given the Xbox can’t take advantage of the projector’s 240Hz maximum refresh rate.

    More useful may be the $3,499.99 PX3-PRO’s ability to automatically optimize its settings for gaming when it detects a console powering up.

    Watch this unsettling timelapse footage of a wilderness camera consumed by a wildfire.

    I’ve seen videos captured in wildfires before, but this roughly 90-minute timelapse of the California Park Fire approaching and consuming one of UC San Diego’s AlertCalifornia remote cameras really drives home how fast these disasters can spread, and how inescapable it can feel being trapped inside one.

    Four hikers were rescued from the British Columbia wildfires using the iPhone’s Emergency SOS feature.

    The CBC is reporting that the women stranded by the wildfires while camping were safely rescued by a search and rescue helicopter team after successfully contacting help by sending a satellite text message.

    Despite reduced visibility due to heavy smoke, the rescuers were able to reach the hikers who were found “exactly where the cellphone ping said they were.”
