Don't blame video games for El Paso, Dayton shootings. Leaders like Trump must face facts.
You won't find violent video game displays at Walmart anymore. Late last week the company announced it is removing them from stores. This came after President Donald Trump, commenting on the Dayton and El Paso shootings, complained from the White House about "gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace" and surround troubled youth with a culture that celebrates violence. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, meanwhile, told Fox News he has always felt violent games present "a problem for future generations and others." Would someone please point out to our leaders -- neither of whom cited actual evidence -- that they are more than a decade behind the scientific consensus?

You can now lease the Tesla Model 3, but don't expect to buy it in the end
A link has been posted to your Facebook feed. Tesla is making it possible to lease the Model 3 electric sedan for the first time while also making it harder to buy the much-hyped $35,000 base version of the vehicle. The automaker announced late Thursday that it would begin leasing the Model 3 "for a small down payment and competitive monthly payments." It's not the same as a standard auto industry lease, which typically gives leasees the option to purchase the vehicle when the lease expires. "Please note, customers who choose leasing over owning will not have the option to purchase their car at the end of the lease, because with full autonomy coming in the future via an over-the-air software update, we plan to use those vehicles in the Tesla ride-hailing network," Tesla said in a blog post.

Ten things you probably don't know about the Nintendo Switch video game console
The Nintendo Switch game console. If you're reading, chances are you already own the Nintendo Switch ($299) or are thinking of picking one up. As you likely know, Nintendo Switch is a unique hybrid console that's both a portable gaming system, like a Nintendo 3DS, as well as a home console, which snaps into a docking station (included) to connect to your television. There are several exclusive games for the platform -- including best-sellers like "Super Mario Odyssey," "Diablo 3: Eternal Collection," "Mario Rabbids: Kingdom Battle," and "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" – which you can buy in cartridge form or download digitally from the Nintendo eShop online store. Underneath the console's kickstand on the back, you can snap in a microSD memory card to store more downloaded content, should the 32GB of internal storage not be enough for you.

Don't ask Siri about Donald Trump today
Politics are bound to be a topic of conversation at Thanksgiving meals across the country today. Whether someone at your meal decides to share their thoughts on the state of America in 2018 is up to them. One thing you shouldn't do: ask Siri about Donald Trump or how old the president is. In an apparent glitch first spotted by The Verge, asking Siri the question "who is Donald Trump" or "how old is Donald Trump" returns an image of male genitalia in place of a picture of the 45th president of the United States. USA TODAY was able to replicate the glitchwhen asking Siri "who is Donald Trump" on an iPhone X on Thursday evening.
Hey Google, you don't really want to replace me, right?
Google wants to do more than just organize the world's information. It wants to infuse itself into our lives and replace several of our daily tasks robotically. That, clearly, is the goal, as outlined this week. Forget about those shiny new Pixel phones, tablets and speakers that Google announced this week at a splashy event in New York. Or a new talking video speaker that takes on Amazon's Echo Show with a focus on Google visuals like mapping, calendar, and, of course, all that YouTube content.
