'You can't imagine the conditions' - Mariupol refugees share trauma of civilian camps
25 April 2022

Those who have fled the Ukrainian city say people are being held in cramped, unclean, camps.

A Google support page in Hindi says the ability to change your Gmail address is on the way. The feature would allow you to replace your current @gmail.com address with another. Your old address would remain active as an alias on the account, and all your data would stick around, unaffected.
The support page (translated) says that "the ability to change your Google Account email address is gradually rolling out to all users." The change was first spotted on a Google Pixel forum on Telegram and was first reported in the press by 9to5Google.
Google hasn't made a formal announcement about the change. The English version of the support page still says you usually can't change your @gmail.com address. Up to this point, Google has only allowed address changes for non-gmail.com addresses.
Engadget reached out to Google for confirmation. We'll update this story if we hear back.
When the feature (presumably) rolls out broadly, you'll change it through your account settings. Sign in to your Google account, then go to Manage your Google account > Personal info > Google Account email. If you don't see the option to change it, then you'll have to wait.

The UltraGear evo displays offer 5K visuals. Many incorporate on-device AI upscaling, taking some of the burden away from the GPU.
LG says the tech will let consumers skip out on some card upgrades. This could end up being extremely beneficial because the AI boom has been impacting GPU prices.
There are three displays in the lineup so far, with more to come down the line. There's a 39-inch OLED (39GX950B) that includes the aforementioned AI upscaling to 5K, but also algorithms for scene optimization and sound. The company says this will "refine images and audio performance for a more immersive audiovisual experience."
This monitor can easily switch from the standard resolution with a refresh rate of 165Hz to a much zippier WFHD resolution with a refresh rate of 330Hz. This is supported by a 0.03ms response time. It's curved with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
There's also a 27-inch MiniLED (27GM950B) in the lineup. This display has been "designed to dramatically improve blooming control", which is done by minimizing halo effects and stuffing in 2,304 local dimming zones. LG promises it "preserves fine details across bright and dark scenes alike."
This one features AI algorithms for upscaling to 5K, scene optimization and sound. It can also switch between 165Hz at 5K and 330Hz at QHD, with a 1ms response time. The screen boasts a peak brightness of 1,250 nits.
Finally, there's the beastly 52-inch (52G930B) large-format gaming display. You didn't read that wrong. This is a 52-inch gaming monitor. This 5K display offers a speedy 240Hz refresh rate. The 1000R curvature wraps around the peripheral, which should be great for flying sims and stuff like that.
LG hasn't released any information as to when we'll be able to get our mitts on these displays, or how much they will cost. With all the tech on offer, it's likely they'll cost a pretty penny.

Tout au long de l'été, la ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal brille avec ses envolées quotidiennes de montgolfières qui colorent le ciel ainsi que l'International de montgolfières, un festival de neuf jours en août. Le 1er juin marquait d'ailleurs le coup d'envoi des festivités alors que l'équipe derrière l'événement a finalement annoncé la programmation complète.
À la fin mars, on nous présentait déjà deux têtes d'affiche qui seront présentes pour animer la foule durant le dernier week-end de l'événement, soit la chanteuse québécoise Alicia Moffet, les rappeurs Loud et Imposs ainsi que celui qui se cache derrière le récent succès Acapulco, Jason Derulo.
Ce sont entre autres Charlotte Cardin, Hubert Lenoir, Ludacris, The Franklin Electric, Koriass et PETiTOM qui s'ajoutent à la programmation, pour un total de plus de 60 artistes d'ici et d'ailleurs.
Celle qui a été nommée humoriste de l'année au dernier gala Les Olivier, Mariana Mazza, aura même une soirée carte blanche combinant autant l'humour que la musique avec des invité.es comme Martin Vachon, Michelle Desrochers, Stéphane Fallu, Roxane Bruneau, Sarahmée ainsi que Laurence Nerbonne.
Outre les spectacles, les festivalier.ères pourront se promener à travers les différents espaces. Il y aura entre autres un grand bassin où des embarcations seront disponibles pour se promener sur l'eau, un coin de manèges, la zone gourmande et la zone sportive. Cette dernière aura des jeux gonflables, des tables de ping pong et des jeux de spikeball.
Tout ça, sans oublier les quelque 80 montgolfières qui se promèneront dans le ciel. Les nuits magiques avec les ballons illuminés et maintenus au sol seront aussi de retour le premier et le dernier soir des festivités. L'International des montgolfières s'installera du samedi 13 août au dimanche 21 août prochain à compter de midi et tu peux déjà te procurer des billets.
