Luminoodle’s new professional bias lights aren’t the cheapest bias light strips out there, but there’s good reason for that: They’re one of the few options that can output true 6500K white. AV geeks strive for this, as 6500K won’t affect your eyes’ perception of the screen’s color accuracy.

Hey folks, Rob here! It’s the last Thursday of the month, and that means it’s time for a brand-new The MagPi. Issue 70 is all about home automation using your favourite microcomputer, the Raspberry Pi.
Home automation in this month’s The MagPi!
We think home automation is an excellent use of the Raspberry Pi, hiding it around your house and letting it power your lights and doorbells and…fish tanks? We show you how to do all of that, and give you some excellent tips on how to add even more automation to your home in our ten-page cover feature.
Our other big feature this issue covers upcycling, the hot trend of taking old electronics and making them better than new with some custom code and a tactically placed Raspberry Pi. For this feature, we had a chat with Martin Mander, upcycler extraordinaire, to find out his top tips for hacking your old hardware.
Upcycling is a lot of fun
If for some reason you want even more content, you’re in luck! We have some fun tutorials for you to try, like creating a theremin and turning a Babbage into an IoT nanny cam. We also continue our quest to make a video game in C++. Our project showcase is headlined by the Teslonda on page 28, a Honda/Tesla car hybrid that is just wonderful.
We review PiBorg’s latest robot
All this comes with our definitive reviews and the community section where we celebrate you, our amazing community! You’re all good beans
An amazing, and practical, Raspberry Pi project
Issue 70 is available today from WHSmith, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Asda. If you live in the US, head over to your local Barnes & Noble or Micro Center in the next few days for a print copy.

This is most definitely the era of the retro console with Nintendo, Atari (the Atari VCS is up for pre-order now) and others in on the retro console action. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is considering stepping into that retro console realm as well with a revival of the PlayStation One console. Word of the possibility of a retro console

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina—For various reasons, this article is long overdue. We’ve looked at motorsport at Ars on many occasions, in many different forms. But a look through the archives finds barely a mention of NASCAR, admittedly an error on my part. Stock car racing is more popular in the US than any other motorsport, but it also has a reputation—or a stereotype—as a technology-free zone. But as anyone who follows the sport closely knows, there’s little justification for that stereotype these days.
Although we had an invite to check out last year’s season finale at Homestead in Miami, somehow that didn’t feel like the right way to take a proper look at the sport today. I’m not usually one to turn down a day at the track, but it felt like the resulting article could have ended up as a piece of cultural tourism. It would be easy to trade in stereotypes about NASCAR fans—just like every other racing fan, but different and more numerous—and offhand remarks about the visceral impact of 40-odd stock cars blasting past in a pack at speeds often well north of 160mph (257km/h).
I’d rather leave that to the lifestyle publications; people come to Ars to read about technology, after all. So luckily, a better opportunity presented itself. Instead of a warm weekend away in late November, how about a trip to Charlotte in the off-season for a proper look behind the scenes? Calls were made, meetings were lined up, and so it was I found myself driving the 400 miles from Washington, DC, down to North Carolina, a surprisingly easy road trip thanks to a Cadillac CT6 equipped with Super Cruise. After a day spent talking to people throughout the sport—including NASCAR’s technology development team, its R&D Center, and some chaps at Ford—I’m now reassessing my ideas about which motorsport series is the techiest of them all.

Today D3 Publisher sent in another reveal of its upcoming action game Bullet Girls Phantasia, releasing another metric ton of screenshots.
As usual, keep in mind that this is a D3 Publisher game, and a Bullet Girls title to boot, so you can pretty much expect what you’re getting into if the headline wasn’t clear enough. There is a lot of fanservice scattered around the screenshots.
First of all, we get the introduction of two new waifus Haldina Krisanth the elf, and Ladoria…

Rather than defend against a threatened trademark lawsuit, a California-based maritime-news website has now stopped selling T-shirts with the historic shipping icon known as the Plimsoll Line.
“Yes, we got feedback from a few lawyers, and they all agreed that while we have a very strong case, our profits on those items are a fraction of the cost of a legal defense,” gCaptain‘s owner, John Konrad, emailed Ars. “They suggested we save the money and remove the items to comply with the request… so we did. 
“
He added that the company acceded to the demands brought on behalf of Plimsoll Gear, a company holding a trademark on the Plimsoll Line for T-shirts and other items. gCaptain stopped selling its Plimsoll T-shirts on May 20.
