Gold worth six million shillings vanished from police custody in Kenya. Three Korean business people gave their gold to officers at an Athi River station for safekeeping during March. The foreigners came to Kenya to work on real estate near Sabaki and help set up solar water pumps. Someone swapped real gold for fake metal at the police station before Easter. Officers found the switch when they checked their steel box in April.
Police reported the theft at Mlolongo station on May 9 after finding the gold gone. A police leader told reporters they did store the gold as asked. The Koreans picked this station because it seemed very safe. The police building is on Mombasa Road in Machakos County. Police teams searched but found no clues...
Deputy President Kindiki says he stays loyal to President Ruto despite critics calling him a yes-man. He told crowds in Embu County that no deputy should fight their president. Anyone wanting to battle the president should join opposition parties instead.
Kindiki pointed out past leaders who showed similar loyalty. Moi said yes to Kenyatta before becoming president himself. Kibaki remained faithful to Moi even after demotion, later winning the presidency. Uhuru backed Kibaki after brief opposition during the 2005 referendum. Ruto himself said yes to Uhuru before his rise to power.
The deputy president warned government officials against criticizing their administration. He seemed to reference both Justin Muturi and Rigathi Gachagua...
Murang'a and Mandera counties just made history in Kenya. They became the first local areas to run student money programs themselves. These counties signed papers with education officials that let them handle cash once managed by national leaders. This frees up billions that stayed locked when Budget Controller Nyakango froze payments. She claimed counties needed special permission for school aid.
Education Secretary Ogamba called this change great news for students who need help paying for school. Governor Kang'ata from Murang'a said he will stop fighting Nyakango in court about the money issue. He asked her to say yes to county money requests quickly so students can pay their fees. Governor Khalif thinks students in Mandera will see...
Noctua released new mounting bars called NM-IMB8 for their NH-D15 G2 CPU cooler. These bars shift the cooler closer to where Intel chips run hottest. The parts move the cooler about 4 mm north and 2 mm east on the socket. This change helps cool 24-core and 20-core Intel chips like the Core Ultra 9 285K better. Tests show it can lower temperatures up to 3 degrees with HBC coolers or 1 degree with standard models.
The bars work because newer Intel chips have hot spots away from the center. Moving pressure directly above these spots improves cooling. Regular NH-D15 G2 coolers still work best overall, even with these new parts. Users can buy the mounting bars from Noctua's website today or from Amazon soon for about $4-5. The company only...
Epic Games leader Tim Sweeney spoke with Lex Fridman for four hours about many topics. He admitted the Epic Games Launcher needs work. The company must make the program less clunky for users. They focused more on store features than on making the launcher run smoothly.
Steam runs better because Valve worked on it for 15 years with top programmers. Epic spent time adding ways to sell different game versions instead of fixing basic problems. The launcher works well for some people but runs poorly for others, depending on the internet connection speed. Epic noticed these issues late but wants to fix them. Steam also had problems when it first came out years ago.
The Epic Games Launcher launched in December 2018, giving the company plenty...
Students across America stick metal items into school laptop ports for fun. This dangerous TikTok trend, called ChromebookChallenge, has caused several computers to catch fire. Kids push paper clips, pencils, aluminum foil, or gum wrappers into USB slots, harming the battery inside. The damaged batteries often explode, leading to school buildings being emptied early. Many cases happened at Denver schools, but problems showed up all over the country.
Some students do this for attention from friends or to stop class. They feel safe because they break school property instead of personal items. This thinking misses how these actions put everyone near them at risk. The fires can spread fast if nobody stops them quickly. Students who try...
Uganda gave the old Kilembe Mines to Sarrai Group and Nile Fibreboard. Energy Minister Ruth Nankabirwa led the event in Kasese. The Uganda National Mining Company keeps a 15% share of the project. The mines will make copper parts for clean energy tech and help grow local jobs.
Power for the mines will come from UEDCL first, as workers check if the Mubuku power plant can run again. Nankabirwa asked people not to steal from or damage the site. The mines produced a lot of copper ore until the early 1980s, when floods and fighting shut them down. Many homes, roads, and power lines fell apart after the mines closed.
Sarrai Group runs sugar farms across East Africa. The company has the money and skills to fix the mines. Their partner, Nile...
