Navy pilots receive intense training and are held to an incredibly high performance standard. They’re also human, and as such, they find things like giant sky penises amusing, which is why a massive dong dominated the skies above Washington state on a sunny day back in 2017.

The crude sky art immediately drew attention from those on the ground, and images of the unmistakable sight quickly went viral across all manner of social media. At the time, the U.S. Navy said the matter was being dealt with, and official comment on the matter was essentially nonexistent. Now, Navy Times has obtained a copy of the internal investigation that took place, and the details of how the sky dong came to be are well worth exploring.

There’s no question about it: The final Game of Thrones season is so bad that we can’t wait for it to end. Episode 4 is already the worst-rated Game of Thrones episode on IMDb, with episode 5 quickly closing in. It’s mostly the writing and the recurrent lapses in logic that destroyed this season, as well as various character arcs.

If that’s not enough, HBO had to deal with that Starbucks coffee cup that made it into the final cut of episode 4, which was easily one of the best things to come out of this season so far. It turns out that’s not the only error HBO made, as it also kind of forgot that Jaime Lannister doesn’t have two hands.

This past February, Tesla introduced a new security feature dubbed Sentry Mode. As the name subtly implies, Sentry Mode takes advantage of the array of video cameras on Tesla vehicles in order to capture 360-degree video when an incident like an attempted break-in occurs. Naturally, the cameras aren’t rolling non-stop and only spring into action when a sensor detects something out of the ordinary.

Since the feature started rolling out to users a few months ago, we’ve already seen all sorts of interesting footage, including a string of videos that depict individuals who, for reasons that remain unclear, decide to vandalize parked Tesla vehicles.

Netflix is about to share some fresh details about its ambition to push deeper into video games, ahead of the planned launch of its Stranger Things game coming in July to PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile platforms.

The streaming giant is getting increasingly creative these days about how it presents content, with examples including its interactive film Bandersnatch that lets users make choices to control how the story progresses. Adaptions of its original series into video games is another area the company sees potential in, and Netflix is planning to make its debut at the annual E3 video game industry trade event next month to talk about exactly that.

The Galaxy Note 10 isn’t coming out until early August, but we’ve already seen plenty of leaks detailing its specs and features. We know, for example, that Samsung is making two differently sized Note models this year, and each one of them will have a 5G variant. That’s a first for the Note series, which was sold in a single size in previous years.

The Note also used to be Samsung’s biggest flagship, when it comes to screen size, but that’s no longer the case now that we have all-screen phone designs. The Galaxy S10 5G has a 6.7-inch display, which is 0.3 inches bigger than last year’s Note 9 screen. That said, a new leak reveals more details about the screens of the upcoming Note 10 series.

It hasn’t been a good year for the makers of Roundup weed killer. Back in March, a man was awarded an $80 million verdict after a jury decided that Monsanto’s herbicide contributed to his positive diagnosis for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. That was just the latest in a string of rulings in favor of individuals who believe glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer, gave them cancer, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the massive verdict that was just handed down in California.

The trial, which took place in Oakland, was brought by a couple who believe long-term exposure to Roundup resulted in both of them being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The verdict in favor of the couple carried the astronomical sum of $2.055 billion.

During Google’s Marketing Live conference for advertisers on Tuesday, the search giant announced a first for the company: Ads are coming soon to Google’s iconic homepage.

The ads will be confined to the version of its homepage accessible via the mobile web as well as its smartphone app later this year, which will provide the company a fresh source of advertising revenue and prominent new screen real estate it can sell to brands. The move also, at least for now, preserves the famously minimalist aesthetic of the desktop version of Google’s homepage.

Starting at $669, the OnePlus 7 Pro is significantly cheaper than the flagship devices from most other vendors, but if you’re upgrading from another phone anyway, you may as well get some credit for it and make the OnePlus even more affordable.
