Los lugareños quedaron devastados después de que un querido bar del vecindario en Beverly Grove fuera encontrado en llamas el jueves por la tarde.
Los equipos respondieron a un incendio en el pub irlandés Molly Malone's en la cuadra 500 de South Fairfax Street aproximadamente a la 1:17 p.m., según el Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles.
Los equipos que llegaron encontraron denso humo y llamas provenientes de la entrada derecha.
El emblemático pub irlandés lleva casi 60 años atendiendo a sus clientes. El propietario del pub, Damian Hanlon, recuerda haberse sentido frenético cuando un vecino le dijo que el pub estaba en llamas.
“Decían: ¡Hombre! ¡Tu casa está en llamas! ¡Vuelve! ¡Sube aquí!” Hanlon recuerda.
Cuando llegó, los bomberos habían extinguido las llamas y pudieron evitar que las brasas amenazaran los negocios cercanos.

Hanlon dijo que estaba sorprendido de que la barra todavía estuviera en pie y expresó su gratitud a los bomberos que se apresuraron a apagar el incendio.
“Es un trabajo increíble [firefighters] Dijo Hanlon. “Es increíble lo que salvaron.
Hannon dijo que estaba especialmente agradecido de que los bomberos salvaran la obra de arte histórica que adornaba las paredes del bar.
No se reportaron heridos entre los empleados ni los bomberos, mientras que las causas del incendio aún están bajo investigación.
“Comenzó afuera y no era eléctrico, eso es todo lo que sabemos”, dijo Hanlon.
Molly Malone Es un popular bar local conocido por su música en vivo, ambiente relajado, noches de trivia y celebraciones del Día de San Patricio.
El bar, aunque muy dañado, sigue en pie. Hanlon dijo que ahora está concentrado en reconstruir y reabrir lo más rápido posible.
¿Su mensaje a los clientes leales? “¡Volveremos por ustedes! Quédense allí con nosotros. Estamos ansiosos por verlos. Gracias por todo su apoyo”.
Hanlon dijo que estará eternamente agradecido con los bomberos que salvaron su amado bar.
“Gracias a los bomberos que salvaron algo que había estado en nuestra familia durante 57 años”, dijo. “Significa mucho para mucha gente de la comunidad”.
No se ha fijado una fecha de reapertura, pero Hanlon dijo que espera reabrir dentro de unos meses.
“Es un lugar familiar”, dijo. “Realmente somos una familia aquí”.
Los fiscales acusaron de asesinato a un hombre de 26 años después de que golpeó fatalmente al gerente de un bar de Santa Mónica. Según las autoridades.
El Departamento de Policía de Santa Mónica dijo que los agentes acudieron a la cuadra 2700 de Main Street, afuera del Jameson's Pub, alrededor de las 12:05 a.m. del martes después de informes de una agresión.
La investigación encontró que el gerente del bar Jameson's pidió a varios clientes que se fueran. Luego, dice la policía, un cliente golpeó al gerente, dejándolo inconsciente. No se proporcionaron detalles adicionales de inmediato.
Los agentes y el personal médico intentaron medidas para salvar vidas, incluida la reanimación cardiopulmonar, pero el director fue declarado muerto en un hospital local. Su identidad aún no ha sido revelada públicamente.
Inicialmente, tres clientes del bar fueron arrestados y ingresados en la cárcel de Santa Mónica.
El hombre que supuestamente golpeó al gerente fue identificado como Leonard Hector Corby, de 26 años, de Venecia. Más tarde fue acusado de asesinato por la Oficina del Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles y se le impuso una fianza de 2 millones de dólares.

La noche de borrachera de Tyson Fury: termina en el suelo tras ser expulsado de un bar
El incidente, que se volvió viral, alarmó a los fanáticos que están conscientes de la larga batalla de Fury contra el alcohol.
Fury ha tenido una carrera llena de grandes victorias y desafíos personales.
Fury conmocionó al mundo del boxeo en 2015 con su victoria sobre Wladimir Klitschko, una victoria que debería haber marcado el punto culminante de su carrera.
Sin embargo, su condición se deterioró rápidamente y abandonó su revancha con Klitschko en 2016 y recurrió al alcohol y las drogas. Su peso aumentó dramáticamente y su salud mental también se vio afectada, al punto que admitió tener pensamientos suicidas.
En 2018, Fury regresó al ring recortando peso y enfrentándose Deontay Wilder En una batalla que terminó en empate, desafiando las expectativas.

Además de una noche de copas, Fury tiene compromisos de boxeo en Arabia, donde acordó pelear una revancha contra Oleksandr Usyk.
The iFi GO Bar Kensei is another reminder that iFi knows precisely what’s what when it comes to headphone amps and DACs of all shapes, sizes and prices. More often than not, it’s among the leaders in any given market. And so it’s decided what the humble USB DAC/headphone amp needs is a bit of glamour to go along with performance. Hence, the GO Bar Kensei.
On paper and in the palm, it makes a lot of sense. The specification is extensive, the finish – all tactile Japanese stainless steel that catches the light – is unarguably upmarket. If you want to put an absolute rocket up the sound of your smartphone and enjoy ownership of a premium product as you do so, it would seem to be just the ticket.
And in practice, the GO Bar Kensei makes good on a lot of what it promises. It’s a deft, rhythmically adept and impressively spacious listen, able to retrieve a huge amount of detail and put it all into the proper context. It has plenty of dynamic headroom, and is able to apply its talents to any digital audio file no matter where you source it from.
It overplays its hand somewhat at the top of the frequency range, though – ‘brilliance’ is not always a positive when it comes to treble sounds, especially when there’s not the substance to balance it out. And there’s a periodic glitch in the way the GO Bar Kensei performs that sends an unpleasant burst of noise to your headphones at the start of a new file, too. Both of these things undermine the iFi somewhat when compared to the best portable DACs, and make it a fair bit less compelling than it otherwise would be.
iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Price and release date
(Image credit: Future)
Released in March 2024
Priced at $499 / £449 / AU$769
The iFi GO Bar Kensei portable headphone amp/DAC is on sale now for $449 in the United States, £449 United Kingdom and in Australia, it will set you back AU$769 or thereabouts.
The world is not short of portable USB headphone amp/DACs, of course. What it is slightly shorter of is really quite expensive USB headphone amp/DACs, and shorter still of really quite expensive USB headphone amp/DACs that have gotten completely carried away with Japanese sword master analogies. So this iFi has quite a bit to prove…
iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Features
(Image credit: Future)
32bit Cirrus Logic DAC
‘K2HD’ audio processing technology
Balanced and unbalanced outputs
The GO Bar Kensei is necessarily compact, but that hasn’t prevented iFi from cramming it with features.
On the inside, iFi has sourced components from companies as well-regarded as muRata, Panasonic, TDK and Tantalum. These all serve to facilitate a 32bit Cirrus Logic DAC chipset that supports digital audio files of up to 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 resolution, with full MQA decoding on board too. The DAC uses a 16-core XMOS microcontroller to process the audio data received at the USB-C input.
And iFi has deployed technology derived from JVCKenwood too – ‘K2’ was originally developed to try and bring an ‘organic quality’ and ‘sound quality correction’ (JVCKenwood’s words, not mine) to digital recordings. iFi has breathed on it to the point that JVCKenwood asserts that it’s ‘the original ideal K2 sound’. Which is why, presumably, iFi has decided to refer to it as ‘K2HD’.
Further finessing of the sound is available via four digital filters and a couple of analogue processing modes, all of which will be familiar to anyone who’s paid any attention to iFi products released over the last few years. ‘Bit-perfect’, ‘GTO’ (which stands for Gibbs Transient Optimised, of course), ‘minimum phase’ and ‘standard’ are all, supposedly, able to make particular genres of music sound, well, more genre-ish. ‘XBass+’ intends to accentuate the lower frequencies, and ‘XSpace’ wants to expand the sound field.
No doubt you’ll investigate all of these options at your leisure. But no matter what your eventual preference(s), getting sound out of the GO Bar Kensei happens using either the 3.5mm unbalanced or 4.4mm balanced output at the opposite end of the device to the USB-C slot.
Features score: 5 / 5
iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Sound quality
(Image credit: Future)
Rapid, detailed and spacious sound
Positive and dynamic attitude
Overplays its hand with treble sounds
The sound quality the GO Bar Kensei delivers is, I reckon, a game of two slightly lop-sided halves plus a bit of extra time. And everything I’m about to say applies no matter which of the many filter and/or processing options you deploy. It’s possible to fiddle around the edges of the iFi’s sound, but its fundamental character is always apparent.
The first of the halves centres on just how rapid, detailed, open and organised a performer the GO Bar Kensei is. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing a 24bit/96kHz FLAC file of David Bowie’s Low, a Dolby Atmos stream of De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising or a 24bit/192kHz copy of Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? – every time, the iFi extracts and contextualises a huge amount of both broad and fine detail. No occurrence is too felting or too far back in a mix to escape its attention – and as a result, the sensation that you’re getting a complete picture is always present.
It digs reasonably deep at the bottom of the frequency range, and controls the low end to the point that rhythmic expression is good and momentum is undeniable. The big, open and well-defined nature of its soundstage allows every element of a recording the space it needs to properly express itself, and it allows vocalists in the midrange to communicate explicitly. There’s real eloquence and directness to the way the GO Bar Kensei delivers a singer, a sensation of positivity that feeds into the overall idea of ‘performance’ and ‘unity’.
Dynamic expression is good too, whether it’s the shifts in volume and intensity that many recordings indulge in or the more subtle (but no less significant) harmonic variations in a solo voice or instrument. The iFi can be muscular when needs be, but it’s just as capable of being tender and delicate.
The second half concerns the way the GO Bar Kensei deals with the top of the frequency range. To put it bluntly, it’s altogether too confident where treble sounds are concerned – they’re overstated in every circumstance, and tonally they lack substance and body. The top end here is crashy and splashy, hard-edged and thin – and these unhappy traits are only compounded by increases in volume. If you pair the iFi with similarly treble-centric headphones then your teeth will constantly be on edge.
And there’s extra time, which has nothing to do with the way the GO Bar Kensei sounds but everything to do with the way it performs. On occasion, when one file ends and the next begins, the iFi will let loose a very short burst of utterly startling electrical noise, a sort of exclamation of white noise that is, of course, entirely unwelcome and obviously unintentional. It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens often enough. And it’s not as if it’s provoked by switching from one streaming service to another or anything like that – simply hitting ‘play’ on a playlist can goad it. As I say, this is by no means a constant – but in some ways, it’s even more upsetting because it doesn’t happen every time. It seems to happen (to me, anyway) more often when using iFi’s USB-C/Lightning connector attached to an iPhone than when using the USB-C/USB-C cable with a Samsung smartphone… but either way, I’m not a fan.

iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Design
(Image credit: Future)
65 x 22 x 13mm (HxWxD)
Japanese stainless steel
Very, very small user interface
At 65 x 22 x 13mm (HxWxD) the GO Bar Kensei is certainly pocket-sized, but at almost 66g it feels quite dense. The fact that it’s built almost entirely from Japanese stainless steel is probably to blame – but while it puts a little more strain on your pocket that most USB DACs, there’s no denying the iFi feels (and looks) like a premium product.
At one end of the stick there’s a USB-C slot, and at the other you’ll find the 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs. Along one side there are a few controls – a multi-function button that allows you to check out the various digital filters and analogue processing modes, a button each for ‘volume up’ and ‘volume down’ and the ‘IEMatch’ switch. This last has three positions: ‘off’, ‘3.5’ and ‘4.4’.
On the rear of the stick, etched into the steel surface and consequently only visible when a) very close, and b) in favourable light, are a strip of miniscule LEDs that let you know what’s what (if your eyesight is up to it) in terms of mode, file type and file size. And on the top surface, there’s a company logo and some Japanese characters reading ‘Kensei’ – which apparently translates as ‘sword saint’.
Design score: 4 / 5
iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Usability and setup
(Image credit: Future)
Plug your source into the USB-C input…
Plug your headphones into the 3.5mm or 4.4mm output…
…and select your ‘IEMatch’ position
‘Setup’ is to overstate what’s required here. The GO Bar Kensei attaches to your source player via its USB-C slot (iFi provides short, good-quality USB-C/USB-C and USB-C/Lightning cables for this purpose) and to your headphones using either its 3.5mm unbalanced or 4.4mm balanced output.
Then you simply need to decide if you need to deploy the ‘IEMatch’ switch, and whether or not you enjoy the effect of the ‘XBass+’ and/or ‘XSpace’ settings – and that’s about everything. Audio equipment doesn’t get any more straightforward.
Usability and setup score: 5 / 5
iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Value
Priced in line with rivals
Comparative to the cost of a digital audio player
(Image credit: Future)
It depends which way you look at it, really. The iFi GO Bar Kensei is among the more capable USB-sized headphone amp/DACs around – although it’s far from perfect – and is able to turn your smartphone into a far better source of music than it’s capable of being by itself.
But it costs the sort of money that can get you close to buying a very decent dedicated portable music player… but if you decide to spend the money on one of the best MP3 players instead, you have to take two phone-sized devices out with you… decisions, decisions…

iFi GO Bar Kensei review: Also consider
How I tested the iFi GO Bar Kensei
(Image credit: Future)
Tested for a week
Used with iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23
Listened with Grado SR325x headphones
On and off, I spent maybe a week listening to the GO Bar Kensei. I used it with Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones. I connected it to Sennheiser IE900 in-ear monitors via its 4.4mm balanced output and to a pair of Grado SR325x over-ears using its 3.5mm connection.
I used it while at home, on the street, and on the train. I mostly listened to music from TIDAL and Qobuz (because these streaming services are full of high-resolution content of MQA and 24bit/192kHz standard), and I checked out its various digital filters and analogue processing modes as I did so.
Google appears to be working on adding quick access to its AI chatbot Gemini to the drop-down menu that appears in your address bar. If you want to talk to the bot quickly you’ll be able to type in ‘@gemini’ and get instant access to the bot.
According to Windows Report, Chrome is due to have a ‘chat with Gemini’ shortcut to the address bar, so you don’t have to go to the official Gemini website. The feature is yet to be widespread, but with the ‘chat with Gemini’ shortcut, you should be able to give it a try.
It’s not surprising to see Google forging ahead with its newest AI assistant in Chrome (and on Chromebooks) – in fact, Gemini was technically implemented into the browser back in February, when Google introduced an AI-powered ‘help me write’ feature. Microsoft has been pushing its own AI helper Copilot aggressively across everything from the Edge browser to Windows tablets. Google has demonstrated a more reserved approach to AI tools compared to Microsoft’s bull-in-a-china-shop efforts, but it makes sense that the search engine giant wants to keep pace with the competition.
How to use Gemini in Chrome right now
You can try typing out ‘@gemini’ and see if anything comes up, but as of right now it’s not functional – you can’t click on it or select it. It’s still part of a Chrome Canary patch, which is Google’s channel for testing out potential new features that enthusiasts and developers can try out and give feedback on.
If you’d like to try it out, you can launch and set up Chrome Canary, and once the test browser is installed you can enter chrome://flags in the address bar and hit enter. This should take you to the ‘Expansion pack page for the site’ and you’ll be able to enable the starter pack.
Restart the browser and you’re done! You should then be able to chat with Gemini from the address bar. Of course, as this is still in testing there’s no guarantee that it’ll work flawlessly, and we can’t be sure just yet that the feature will make it to the public version of the browser. However, if it does make it to the public it’ll be good news for Gemini fans or anyone who wants to get more familiar with the ChatGPT alternative.

According to a new report from Mishaal Rahman on Android Authority, Android 15 Developer Preview 2 contains new icons for the status bar. As you can see in the images below, instead of icons with a smooth, flowing design and a completely white or black color scheme in Android 14, the new version of the OS has icons that have a segmented design and a white and grey color scheme. As you might have already noticed, these icons look a lot like the ones that Samsung offers with One UI.
Additionally, the battery icon is now horizontal instead of vertical, which allows Google to place the battery percentage inside the icon. Unfortunately, these icons are not live by default, and the author had to activate them manually. Google might make the new icons the default ones with the next beta version of the OS and eventually bring them to the stable version of the OS. However, nothing can be said for sure.
Samsung released the much-awaited One UI 6.1 update to millions of high-end phones yesterday. After installing the One UI 6.1 update on their phones, some users have had issues with the UI navigation system and some new limitations that Samsung has imposed.
If you want to hide the UI navigation gesture bar on your phone running One UI 6.1, here’s how you can do it.
Hide UI navigation gesture bar in One UI 6.1
To hide the UI navigation gesture bar in One UI 6.1, you have to install the Good Lock app and the NavStar app from the Galaxy Store. Make sure that your phone is running version 6.1.05.40 of the NavStar app. If you can’t find that version on the Galaxy Store, download it from here and install it. Now, follow the steps mentioned below.
Open the Good Lock app and then click on NavStar.
Now, turn on the Enable Extra Gesture Settings option.
Open the Settings app on your phone and navigate to Display » Navigation Bar » More Options.
Now, turn off the Gesture Hint option.
You can have a look at the screenshots above to get a proper idea of what you need to do to hide the UI navigation bar on your device running One UI 6.1.
Some people were confused after installing the One UI 6.1 update, as their phones reverted to on-screen buttons on Android’s navigation gesture system instead of Samsung’s navigation gesture system. We will explain how to revert to Samsung’s ‘Swipe From Bottom’ gesture system in a separate article.
WhatsApp is slated to receive a pair of AI-powered upgrades aiming to help people answer tough questions on the fly, as well as edit images on the platform.
Starting with answering questions, the upgrade integrates one of Meta’s AI models into the WhatsApp search bar. Doing so, according to WABetaInfo, would allow users to directly input queries without having to create a separate chat room for the AI. You’d be able to hold a quick conversation right on the same page.
It appears this is an extension of the in-app assistants that originally came out back in November 2023. A screenshot in the report reveals WhatsApp will provide a handful of prompts to get a conversation flowing.
It’s unknown just how capable the search bar AI will be. The assistants are available in different personas specializing in certain topics. But looking at the aforementioned screenshot, it appears the search bar will house the basic Meta AI model. It would be really fun if we could assign the Snoop Dogg persona as the main assistant.
📝 WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.7.14: what’s new?WhatsApp is working on a feature to ask queries to Meta AI, and it will be available in a future update!https://t.co/qSqJ9JobbK pic.twitter.com/mKM9PLCF3VMarch 23, 2024

AI image editing
The second update is a collection of image editing features discovered by industry expert AssembleDebug, after diving into a recent WhatsApp beta. AssembleDebug discovered three possibly upcoming tools – Backdrop, Restyle, and Expand. It’s unknown exactly what they do as not a single one works. However the first two share a name with other features currently available on Instagram, so they may, in fact, function the same way.
Backdrop could let users change the background of an image into something different via text prompt. Restyle can completely alter the art style of an uploaded picture. Think of these like filters, but more capable. You can make a photograph into a watercolor painting or pixel art. It’s even possible to create wholly unique content through a text prompt.

Expand is the new kid on the block. Judging by the name, AssembleDebug theorizes it’ll harness the power of AI “to expand images beyond their visible area”. Technology like this already exists on other platforms. Photoshop, for example, has Generative Expand, and Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series can expand images after they have been adjusted by rotation.

WhatsApp gaining such an ability would be a great inclusion as it’ll give users a robust editing tool that is free. Most versions of this tech are locked behind a subscription or tied to a specific device.
Do keep in mind neither beta is available to early testers at the time of this writing. They’re still in the works, and as stated earlier, we don’t know the full capabilities of either set. Regardless of their current status, it is great to see that one day WhatsApp may come equipped with AI tech on the same level as what you’d find on Instagram especially when it comes to the search bar assistant. The update will make accessing that side of Meta software more convenient for everyone.
