But most distressing is the over two dozen brands explicitly marketed for children that were implicated by the findings: Colgate Watermelon Burst, a "Paw Patrol" branded Orajel Kids Anticavity toothpaste, and Tom's of Maine Kid's Natural toothpaste.Other heavy metals plagued the lineup, too. 65 percent of the brands contain arsenic, according to the tests, 47 percent contain mercury, and 35 percent contain cadmium."It's unconscionable — especially in 2025," Rubin told The Guardian.  "What's really interesting to me is that no one thought this was a concern."The Food and Drug Administration limit for lead in fluoride-free toothpastes is 10,000 parts per billion (ppb). None of the toothpastes here exceeded that, but it's important to note that no amount of lead exposure is considered safe, especially in children. Exposure to lead in infancy and childhood can damage the brain and nervous system, leading to lifelong learning and behavioral disabilities and lower IQ, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.In recent years, Washington state has adopted a stricter 1,000 ppb lead limit in cosmetics, including toothpastes. In Lead Safe Mama's testing, three variants from Redmond, VanMan's, and Primal exceeded that, with the worst offender, Primal, reaching 7,800 ppb.There're even stricter limits for children, the Guardian notes. California's lead limit in baby food is six ppb, and the Baby Food Safety Act of 2024, which still awaits congressional approval, has it at 10 ppb. All but five of the tested brands were over that.Lead Safe Mama was the first to crack that Stanley Cups — yes, remember that whole debacle? — contained lead. Largely run by Rubin, the organization also claims responsibility for six product recalls since 2022. Most of its tests use an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) lead detection tool, a non-destructive form of detection. Rubin has received some criticism for allegedly profiting off its alarming claims through affiliate links for "lead-free" products on its website.What is causing the lead contamination is unclear. Rubin suspects that it may lie in some of the ingredients added to the toothpaste, including hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate and bentonite clay, she told the Guardian."A foundation of the work of LSM is the understanding (and agreement with the scientific and medical consensus) that there is no safe level of lead exposure for humans," Rubin wrote in a post accompanying the researchers, "and that we (as consumers) should demand that companies be held accountable for manufacturing and selling lead-contaminated products, especially products marketed and sold for use by children."More on contamination: You Might Not Want to Touch Receipts After Seeing This Horrifying ResearchShare This Article

From my many rewatches of Pride and Prejudice, there are a few takeaways I’ve adapted from the Bennet family home and brought across the pond to my Brooklyn apartment. They are as follows.Mix time periodsCollecting pieces from across centuries and design aesthetics gave the Bennet home a collected feel you can’t obtain any other way. “We look at the furniture in that house and we go, my goodness, that’s amazing furniture,” Greenwood tells AD. “But to Mrs. Bennet’s eyes, it was just old furniture.”Where there is a surface, cover itThe Bennets were maximalists before maximalism was a thing. Being a family of seven, including five daughters who love to read, write, and squeal about, it’s understandable that the home be perfectly cluttered with stacks of books, bottles of ink, plates of bread, and beyond. From dining tables to desks to pianos, no surface in Longbourn is left bare. The beauty in this curated chaos is that everything in sight serves a purpose, be it something beautiful or something practical. I’ve adapted to this same ethos in my own home.Always have a vase of fresh-cut flowersWhile mine may be from a bodega, a bouquet of colorful blooms in a ceramic pitcher is about as English countryside as it gets. I recommend opting for yellows and whites, like the Bennets.There are never enough oil paintingsWithin the very first few moments of the movie, we are welcomed inside Longbourn, where we see Mary Bennet playing the pianoforte beneath a collection of four ornately framed portraits. And throughout the rest of the home, we can spot even more hanging on the Bennet’s perfectly patinated blue walls. In the years since falling in love with Pride and Prejudice, I’ve acquired a vast collection of oil paintings, all of which I think Mrs. Bennet would very much approve.Experiencing Pride and PrejudiceTo celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice, Focus Features is re-releasing the Academy Award–nominated film in select theaters nationwide. “We had such fun making it and I think that effervescence comes over in the film,” Greenwood tells AD. “It was this blissful summer.” Oh to be a fly on a wall. Desperate for your own taste of what life was like for Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy? You could even go one step further than collecting antiques that evoke the film: A trip to England will grant you access to many of the iconic film locations, which are open to the public.Filming locationsLongbournSimon Woods and Pike in the film.

Tesla Inc. is no longer selling the majority of new electric cars registered in California, the state that accounts for almost a third of all zero-emission vehicle purchases in the US. The company’s share of EV sales in the state fell to 43.9% in the first quarter, from 55.5% a year ago, the California New Car Dealers Association said Wednesday. Whereas Tesla registrations dropped 15%, sales of all other EVs increased 35% early this year. “An aging product lineup and backlash against Elon Musk’s political initiatives are likely key factors for the decline in Tesla BEV market share,” the dealers’ association said in its quarterly report. Tesla’s sales slumped in the quarter even as US consumers rushed to buy new cars before US President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs took effect this month. While all of the models Tesla sells in the country are built in California or Texas, the company does rely on imported parts that could be hit with higher levies starting in early May. In addition to blowback over its chief executive officer’s politicking in Washington, Tesla was dealing with manufacturing disruptions during the first quarter related to its most important product, the Model Y. The company scheduled downtime at all of its car-assembly plants globally to change over production lines for a redesign of its top-selling offering. Tesla sold 42,322 vehicles in California during the first three months of the year, the bulk of which were Model Y SUVs and Model 3 sedans. The two vehicles remained the top-selling EVs in the state, followed by the Honda Prologue and Hyundai Ioniq 5 SUVs. The Cybertruck ranked No. 8 among all EVs with 2,282 registered during the quarter, beating Ford’s F-150 Lightning, which rounded out the top 10. The report adds state-specific granularity to what was a bleak quarter for Tesla — global deliveries fell to the lowest since mid-2022. California is by far the largest EV market in the US, accounting for 31.1% of registrations last year, according to the dealers’ association. Tesla was based in Silicon Valley until Musk moved the company’s corporate headquarters to Austin in late 2021. Top Photo: Tesla electric vehicles outside the company’s manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, US, on Monday Feb 24, 2025. Tesla is showing particular signs of strain in places where its chief executive officer is inserting himself in politics in ways that run counter to the company’s stated mission and values.

For The Locals 2XKO will have an offline mode with all champions unlocked, intended to support tournament organizers How this will work with Vanguard anti-cheat remains a mystery Image credit: Riot Games News by Connor Makar Staff Writer Published on April 19, 2025 2XKO will have an offline mode with all playable champions unlocked, it has been revealed. This is in order to support grassroots tournament organizers eager to run events around the game, but aren't exactly thrilled about the idea of having to grind out all the champions on multiple accounts. Revealed during a 2XKO community tour in France earlier this month in a group Q&A, 2XKO executive producer Tom Cannon initially ruminated on how much he should say on the matter, before exclaiming "yeah, why not" and spilling the beans on the mode. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. "I know it can be a pain to set up a whole bunch of set-ups during a tournament. We don't want that to be really hard. We want you to be able to run a tournament without the internet, without having to jump through a bunch of hoops to unlock a bunch of champions." "So here's what we're going to do. You're going to be able to play this game offline, I hope that's not a spoiler (laughs). There's going to be a way for you, as a tournament organizer, to have all the champs unlocked without having to grind them out yourself. Now, you won't get all the content! It's hard for us to have skins enabled and stuff like that, but at least you'll be able to play the game in-tournament offline. That's our selling point." "We do want to keep supporting grassroots tournaments, so we want to hear how that goes and what features will help." This, for the select few who host fighting game events focused on competition, is potentially a massive win. An always-online fighting game would inevitably run into significant hurdles in such a space. Tournament organizers would not only have to make sure the venue has a stable internet, but would likely have to pay substantial fees to use this internet over several days. In addition, not having to grind out a new character on dozens of separate 2XKO accounts is a life saver for tournament organizers, who otherwise would have to manually unlock new content for the game to be competitively valid. What is still unclear following this reveal is how this mode would interact with Vanguard Anti-Cheat, Riot Game's own always-online anti-cheat. Vanguard, which runs the moment you boot your computer up with kernel-level access, cannot be disabled while Riot Games titles are running for League of Legends, Valorant, etc. As such, an offline tournament mode would in theory clash with the intended purpose of Vanguard, assuming this offline mode is booted via the Riot Games launcher like current 2XKO Alpha Lab tests are. We reached out to Riot Games for a follow-up question on this, and have yet to receive a reply as of publishing this article. Nonetheless, it's a cool feature for the inevitable hardcore community for the game, willing to travel out to events in the real world to test their mettle against other players. If I may add some personal editorialising here, I would not expect such a mode to be widely available to the average player. 2XKO, as a free-to-play game, does need to generate revenue from its community obviously. Expect this offline mode to be a rather exclusive offering, so certified tournament runners. Though, we'll have to hang back and wait for more updates on this offline mode and more. What do you think of this offline mode? let us know below!

ZDNET's key takeaways HP's 14-inch EliteBook X G1a features AMD's latest Ryzen AI Pro chip, starting at $2,184.It's a powerful enterprise laptop with lots of I/O, a sleek form factor, and comfortable keyboard.It's expensive, and can run warm under a heavy workload. more buying choices HP reorganized its laptop lineup last year, renaming its high-performance business devices to the EliteBook X series. The first laptop from this series I've tested is the 14-inch HP EliteBook X G1a, an impressive enterprise laptop with a lot to like, but a few considerations that make it unique. Also: I tested Lenovo's budget ThinkPad, and it's a no-frills workhorse ready for the workdayThere are a few configurations of this laptop, the most premium featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor -- one of the most cutting-edge chips on the market right now -- and an OLED display, but the one I tested had the AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 14-inch matte WUXGA IPS display. This is a business laptop aimed at professionals, and it aims to combine the connectivity of a ThinkPad, the sleek form factor of a MacBook, and HP's signature minimalist, if non-descript, design.  details View at Amazon On the surface, it's minimalist and rather corporate-looking, with a matte WUXGA display and an abundant selection of ports. It passes the one-finger test, and opens up to a rather standard display with 400nit brightness and 60Hz refresh rate and a compact and efficient keyboard. The keyboard is one of its best features. It's utterly silent, with a snappy tactile feel with key travel that (almost) feels mechanical. The keys are spacious and smooth, and the backlighting is effective and well-designed. Similarly, the trackpad is responsive and premium, even if the clicks feel a little on the "heavy" side. Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETI do wish it had a haptic trackpad, however, as it would go a long way toward making it more premium, especially as a device geared toward a sophisticated demographic: business leaders and tech experts. When you consider the price of this laptop, it seems like a missed opportunity. During my testing, I found this laptop really enjoyable to use for long days at work, and a big part of that was due to the well-designed ergonomics of this laptop. Unlike other machines, which require the user to adjust to bold or unorthodox design choices, the EliteBook X G1a fits like a familiar glove right off the bat, making it a solid long-day-at-work type of laptop.   Also: I've tested dozens of ThinkPads - this model checks all the right boxes for meIf the keyboard and trackpad contribute to an enjoyable physical form, the abundant I/O selection solidifies its practicality. You've got an HDMI, three USB-C (one Thunderbolt 4 on each side -- thank you), a USB-A port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Kensington lock slot. This is, in my opinion, one of the best combinations of ports you can ask for in 2025, the only thing that would make it better would be an SD card reader. It can certainly pivot to creative tasks, as well, as video editing in industry-standard programs like Da Vinci Resolve was a breeze. By the same token, gaming on this laptop is possible, but I wouldn't recommend this as a dedicated gaming machine with the 60Hz display and its heat dissipation (more on that later). While testing, I did encounter a hiccup connecting to an external monitor with the Thunderbolt 4 port. Both displays would flicker and restart intermittently, even after driver and Windows updates.Issues like this can be the result of any number of things, including issues with the operating system, hardware, or even the USB-C cord itself, so I don't necessarily fault the EliteBook, however this was the first time it happened to me after using dozens of laptops with that very connection and monitor. Also: One of my favorite laptops I've tested this year is ultraportable and has all-day battery lifeA busy workday prevented me from troubleshooting for an extended period of time, but this is where the generous port selection came in clutch, allowing me to simply swap to an HDMI connection. It's a perfect example of where redundant I/O access can solve tech problems, especially in the work setting. In terms of performance, the EliteBook X G1a is fast and responsive, with benchmarking numbers that back its claim of being a powerful enterprise machine. Cinebench 24 MCGeekbench 6.2.2 SCGeekbench 6.2.2 MCHP EliteBook X G1a (AMD Ryzen AI 7 Pro 360) 9542,81814,585Apple MacBook Pro M41,0003,82314,849Dell XPS 13 (Intel Core Ultra 7 "Lunar Lake") 5522,74311,005One thing I noticed during testing the EliteBook X G1a, however, was that it ran a bit hotter than other laptops in its class, kicking on the fans during sustained workloads in High Performance mode. When it's not being pushed, however, it's silent and cool, leading me to believe there's simply a threshold here with the hardware. At no point did I see any evidence of throttling, however. Continuing its specialization in the professional sphere, the EliteBook X G1a features a 74.5Whr battery, which is on the large size for a laptop of this size, earning it just over 11 hours during our standard battery test. This is good, sure, but it didn't quite translate to the spectacular duration I was expecting. Particularly when you compare this to competitors. Also: Dell's latest XPS 13 hits the sweet spot of performance and value for me. Here's whyFor example, this is about the same as what we got during our testing of the MacBook Pro M4, while that laptop's price even comes in a little less, and, well, it's a MacBook. Conversely, HP's own OmniBook X 14 with the Snapdragon X Elite was an absolute marathon machine, earning over 20 hours. Of course, the hardware on the OmniBook is a bit more modest, but its 65Wh battery overperforms in a way that can't be ignored. As I spent more time with this laptop, however, I came to understand its intended use case as a device that trades in the ultrathin and light form factor for raw power, making it a durable, reliable workhorse.ZDNET's buying adviceThere are no shortage of thin and light laptops out there with marathon batteries. The HP EliteBook X G1a is, comparatively, more focused on providing reliable muscle during working hours. The beefy hardware takes full advantage of the large battery, the abundant ports keep your options open, and the comfortable keyboard acts as an ergonomic command center so you can hunker down and get work done. However, all that hardware can run warm when it's pushed, and this is not a cheap laptop. If you're looking for a 14-inch device that's fully committed to the enterprise use case, it's a solid option, but keep in mind that it's quite specialized for that role. If you're looking for a similar laptop for a little less, I recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 – another workhorse laptop with lots of connectivity and the same processor around the $1,500 mark.  How are the tariffs in the U.S. affecting consumer tech? The recent US tariffs on imports from countries like China, Vietnam, and India aim to boost domestic manufacturing but are likely to drive up prices on consumer electronics. Products like smartphones, laptops, and TVs may become more expensive as companies rethink global supply chains and weigh the cost of shifting production.Consumers may also experience notable price increases on robot vacuums and smart home products. Manufacturers are exploring options such as relocating production to countries with lower tariffs, but such transitions are complex and may not provide immediate relief. In the short term, shoppers should anticipate higher costs for robot vacuums due to these trade policies. Show more Featured reviews

Across continents and species, these photos from the 2024 edition of The Nature Photography Contest ... More reveal how human hands now shape the survival of creatures that once thrived without us.© Diem Cao, The Nature Photography Contest 2024 Human-wildlife interactions take on many shapes, much like the evolving form of this school of fish in Nurturing the Living, Diem Cao’s stunning submission to The Nature Photography Contest 2024. The purpose of the contest, which invites photographers from all around the world, is to celebrate nature in all its vibrancy. This year, though, it saved a special spot for those quiet, powerful moments when human and animal lives intersect. Beyond Diem Cao’s work, the aptly named Sharing the Planet category includes a few other standout photographs, each a gentle reminder that life on Earth is, at its core, a shared endeavor. 1. Sweet Girl’s Essence By Sina Ritter“Sweet Girl” was a juvenile humpback whale from French Polynesia who met a tragic death when she was ... More struck by a speeding vessel, prompting calls to regulate traffic around the region’s islands.© Sina Ritter, The Nature Photography Contest 2024 In Sina Ritter’s category winner, Sweet Girl’s Essence, a juvenile humpback whale named Sweet Girl approaches diver Rachel Moore with calm familiarity in an interaction that, while remarkable, wasn’t rare for this individual. Known locally for her unusually gentle and inquisitive nature, Sweet Girl was a familiar presence off the coasts of Tahiti and Moorea. Just days after this photograph was taken, she was killed by a fast-moving vessel with her jaw broken and her head nearly severed. The collision occurred in a high-traffic corridor commonly used by ferries traveling at speeds up to six times the recommended limit during whale season. Her story is heartbreakingly common. It is estimated that four to five humpback whales are killed by vessel strikes between summer and fall, while five to six humpback whales meet the same fate between winter and spring in U.S. waters alone, according to a July 2021 study published in Frontiers in Marine Science. Sweet Girl’s death prompted renewed calls for regulatory changes, including a push to lower boat speeds to under 12 knots within a two-kilometer buffer zone of French Polynesia’s islands. Vessel strikes continue to be a cause for concern for humpback whales globally. For juvenile whales in particular, who spend more time near the surface and often explore coastal shallows, the risk is acute and growing. 2. Led To Safety By Richard De GouveiaWhile southern white rhinos are numbered much higher than their northern counterparts, they’re still ... More being poached at alarming rates, putting their status in grave peril.© Richard De Gouveia, The Nature Photography Contest 2024 In Richard de Gouveia’s Led to Safety, a female southern white rhino is guided away through the scrublands of South Africa’s Marataba Camps. It’s a brief moment of calm in what is, by necessity, a tightly orchestrated operation. The rhino is being relocated for collaring, a procedure that enables rangers to monitor her movements in real-time using AI-assisted tracking systems. This intervention is part of a growing set of strategies aimed at protecting rhinos from poachers. Between 2013 and 2021 alone, Kruger National Park lost 60% of its white rhino population. In 2024, South Africa still recorded 420 rhino killings, down from previous years, but still averaging more than one animal killed per day. While dehorning, relocations and collaring have shown localized success, they are no silver bullets. Poaching networks operate with military-grade precision, fueled by a transnational black market where rhino horn can fetch up to $400,000 per kilogram, a price tag that makes gold look cheap. This image is a reminder that every rhino saved today comes at considerable cost, coordination and urgency. 3. Mini Winnie By Renato GranieriMini Winnie is one among just over a hundred rescued western chimpanzees at Tacugama Chimpanzee ... More Sanctuary, a center in Sierra Leone that cares for chimpanzees orphaned by poaching and the illegal wildlife trade.© Renato Granieri, The Nature Photography Contest 2024 At first glance, Mini Winnie captures a tender exchange between species. A caregiver feeds a young chimpanzee at Sierra Leone’s Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary. But this quiet and humane moment belies the broader urgency of its context. Mini Winnie is a western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus), a subspecies whose numbers have plummeted by more than 80% in the last two decades. The study found a 6% annual decline, driven by poaching, habitat loss and weak law enforcement. Once ranging across West Africa, the western chimpanzee is now extinct in at least three countries and confined to fragmented strongholds in places like Guinea and Sierra Leone. Sanctuaries like Tacugama increasingly becoming the final stronghold for survival. Founded in 1995, Tacugama today cares for over 100 rescued chimpanzees, many of them orphans from the illegal wildlife trade or victims of bushmeat poaching. Rehabilitation at Tacugama involves five phases, transitioning chimps from quarantine to semi-wild habitats within Sierra Leone’s Western Area Peninsula National Park. Photos like Mini Winnie reveal the infrastructure of survival for western chimpanzees quietly operating behind the scenes, one orphaned life at a time. 4. Vulture Restaurant 4 By Alain SchroederVultures at Jatayu vulture restaurant are cared for and provided a safe space to feed on cattle and ... More other animals that die of old age, without the risk of accidental diclofenac consumption.© Alain Schroeder, The Nature Photography Contest 2024 In Alain Schroeder’s frame, a vulture lies cradled in a burlap sling, its head gently supported by gloved hands, as conservationists in hazmat suits perform a routine health check. Taken at Nepal’s Jatayu vulture restaurant, the image captures the clinical, careful and deeply human reality of modern vulture conservation. The bird is being weighed, monitored and protected in a program that has become a model for vulture recovery worldwide. In the 1990s and early 2000s, South Asia’s vultures suffered the fastest population collapse ever recorded in the avian world. Species like the white-rumped vulture (Gyps bengalensis) declined by more than 99.9% due to a veterinary drug called diclofenac, used widely in livestock and lethally toxic to vultures consuming treated carcasses. Nepal banned diclofenac in 2006. That same year, conservationists and local communities established Jatayu — named after a mythical vulture from Hindu lore — as the world’s first community-managed vulture restaurant. Here, farmers bring old cattle to live out their final days. Once they die naturally, their drug-free remains are laid out for vultures in monitored “safe feeding zones.” By 2017, nesting sites in Pithauli, where Jatayu operates, had jumped from fewer than 20 to over 70. Tracked vultures from the site have flown as far as Pakistan, proof that the reach of recovery is spreading. Do photos like these inspire you to form deeper connections with the world around you?

In brief: Nvidia's marketing for the RTX 5060 Ti has so far focused exclusively on the 16GB model, raising eyebrows as the company has refused to provide reviewers with access to the 8GB version. This decision suggests an effort to downplay the cheaper variant's underwhelming performance, and an early review appears to confirm those suspicions – at least, in certain scenarios. A review on Bilibili offers an early look at the 8GB version of Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti, which has not been made available to Western media. The video reveals that halving the VRAM significantly affects performance in several notable games and hampers the effectiveness of multi-frame generation, the RTX 50 series' standout feature. To be fair, the 8GB RTX 5060 Ti holds its own against the 16GB model in synthetic benchmarks and many titles, including Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (at reasonable settings), Counter-Strike 2, Resident Evil 4, Forza Horizon 5, F1 24, Call of Duty, and even Alan Wake 2. However, performance gaps do emerge in more demanding scenarios. Assassin's Creed: Shadows shows a 10 percent performance gap between the two variants, but the 8GB model performs significantly worse in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. At 1080p, average frame rates are about 23 percent lower, with one percent lows dropping by a staggering 30 percent. The gap narrows somewhat at 1440p. Even multi-frame generation can't fully mask the disparity due to the 8GB card's limited VRAM. In Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings, the 16GB model dips to 18 FPS, while the 8GB version bottoms out at just nine FPS. Activating 2x framegen equalizes performance, but a slight gap reappears at 4x, indicating that the 8GB card may struggle to benefit fully from multi-frame generation in future titles. Our recent review of the 16GB model labeled the RTX 5060 Ti as yet another misfire in an already disappointing lineup, and we haven't even touched the 8GB variant. Releasing a mid-range graphics card with just 8GB of VRAM in 2025, eight years after AMD's Radeon RX 580 launched with the same amount, should be unacceptable. Expect a full review from TechSpot once the 8GB 5060 Ti reaches store shelves. // Related Stories The continued push for 8GB mainstream GPUs is troubling, especially since this segment dominates the most popular price tier. Most of the top 10 GPUs on Steam are 60-class Nvidia cards with 8GB of VRAM, a trend the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and the upcoming standard 5060 are likely to extend for years. That means a large share of PC gamers will remain stuck with memory-constrained hardware, limiting their performance in modern and future titles.
