Big Bear bald eagles Jackie and Shadow welcome third hatchling
Proud bald eagle parents Jackie and Shadow welcomed a third chick to their feathered family Saturday morning, days after two hatchlings made their debut.
Movement was spotted in the third egg via livestream on Thursday as the days-old hatchlings nestled in their snowy Big Bear nest. The triplet poked through its shell and was mostly visible just after 2 a.m. Saturday. It had fully emerged by 6:13 a.m., just in time for food.
“All three beautiful bundles of fluff were fully visible, sitting up and ready for breakfast,” Friends of Big Bear Valley shared on its Facebook page. “They all look dry, healthy and full of energy. As they jostle around for positioning, the newest one will have plenty of food still from its yolk for a few days.”
The nonprofit conservation group operates a 24-hour webcam trained on the eagles’ nest overlooking Big Bear Lake and has closely monitored the avian couple for a decade. Sandy Steers, executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, said that the livestream has recently seen record viewership.
Thousands of people have followed the eagles’ parenting journey and were buoyed by Saturday’s good news, which follows years of disappointment.
In 2023, the eagles’ eggs were eaten by ravens. Last year, severe cold weather prevented another trio of eggs from hatching.
Jackie and Shadow have diligently tended to their chicks, trading off feeding and sleeping times while protecting them from the elements.

Is Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) the Most Undervalued High Quality Stock to Buy According to Analysts?
Is Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) the Most Undervalued High Quality Stock to Buy According to Analysts?
We recently published a list of 10 Most Undervalued High Quality Stocks to Buy According to Analysts. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) stands against other most undervalued high quality stocks to buy according to analysts.
In one of our recent articles, titled 11 Best Undervalued Stocks to Invest in Now, we talked about how the recent tariffs have caused a slowdown in the market and are likely to cause inflation. Here’s a piece from the article:
“Today, Richard Fisher, former Dallas Fed president, appeared on a CNBC interview to talk about the recent tariffs and their impact on the market. Fisher stated that a tariff is a cost factor that goes into producing and distributing a product, making it a form of tax. Business operators of all sizes have to figure out a way to protect their margins against the impact. On the other hand, the Federal Reserve has to gauge the amount of revenue it would generate from these tariffs considering it is slowing down the economy and can cause inflation as the companies will have to raise prices to maintain their margins. Moreover, Richard Fisher noted that such tariffs take a long to be digested, as businesses don’t change something overnight. The only way for companies to maintain their margins without increasing prices is by increasing productivity, which again does not happen overnight and takes time.”
On March 6, Tom Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors appeared on a CNBC interview to talk about how the market is likely to proceed forward from here. Lee stated that he is still optimistic about the market, he acknowledged that investors are sitting out at the moment as they are trying to assess the severity of these tariffs. However as a result the market is seeing a big price correction and a decline in sentiment. Moreover, Lee noted that we also had a bad ADP jobs report and the market is going up on bad news which he believes is good for the market.
Lee explained what has happened during the six weeks essentially represents a bear market that has swept through sentiment and positioning because if we look at the hedge funds positioning it has almost gone neutral. Lee believes because of this the current and two upcoming months can be huge rally months, where the market can be rallying as much as 10% to 15%.
While answering the question of whether this slowdown is a Buy, Lee noted that the 10 best days happen every year for the market. Last year the 10 best days of the year added up to 21% to the S&P 500, excluding these 10 days the market was only up 4%. He explained that markets don’t get 20% gains throughout the year, it is those 10 best days where the market rallies the most. Lee thinks that these 10 best days for 2025 are near because if the economy is near stall speed, the “Trump Put” will come back, otherwise, the market has to unwind all this austerity. Moreover, if the job market is soft, the “Fed Put” comes back into play, because the Fed does not want the stall speed to linger. Lee thinks these two things are going to be the positive catalysts in the next couple of weeks.
Story Continues
To compile the list of the 10 most undervalued high-quality stocks to buy according to analysts, we used the iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF. Using the ETF we aggregated a list of high-quality stocks trading below the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 22 as per the Wall Street Journal. Next, we checked the analyst upside potential for each stock from CNN and ranked the stocks in ascending order of the upside potential. We have also added the number of hedge funds holding each stock, sourced from Insider Monkey’s Q4 hedge funds database. Please note that the data was collected on March 6, 2025.
Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).

Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) is a leading international aerospace and defense company. The company operates through four main business segments including Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space. On February 14, Gautam Khanna from TD Cowen maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of $520.
During the fiscal year 2024, Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) grew its sales by 5%. Moreover, the company reached a record backlog of $176 billion, indicating strong future demand. More notably, all four business areas had a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1, showing more orders were received than fulfilled. The company gained the spotlight by delivering 110 F-35 aircraft in 2024, which was the high end of its expected range. Looking ahead, Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) expects to make around 170 to 190 F-35 deliveries in 2025. It is one of the most undervalued high-quality stocks to buy according to analysts.
Ariel Focus Fund stated the following regarding Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:
“Shares of leading global defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) also traded lower returning some of its third quarter gains. Although earnings were solid, investor uncertainty tied to ongoing F-35 contract negotiations and software delays overshadowed the company’s robust order backlog and return of capital to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends. In our view, LMT continues to be well positioned in the defense sector.”
Overall, LMT ranks 9th on our list of most undervalued high quality stocks to buy according to analysts. While we acknowledge the potential of LMT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than LMT but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

A Monumental Challenge Nearly Shut Helldivers 2 Down Even Before It Was Released
A Monumental Challenge Nearly Shut Helldivers 2 Down Even Before It Was Released
Most modern indie video game developers use Unreal Engine or Unity to develop video games. Major studios often use their in-house game engine, but Arrowhead Game Studios had no such option while developing Helldivers 2. The studio was established in 2008 and used the Microsoft XNA to develop its first video game, Magicka. However, the studio then moved to Bitsquid, a game engine that was used by various indie Swedish studios in the early 2010s.

Since then, Arrowhead Game Studios has developed all its video games on Bitsquid, which was renamed to Autodesk Stingray in 2014 after Autodesk’s acquisition. Helldivers 2 was also built using this game engine, but what’s special is the fact that this game engine was discontinued in 2018. In fact, even 2022’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was built using this engine.
Helldivers 2‘s development was almost shut down
Just like the first Helldivers game, Arrowhead Game Studios decided to build Helldivers 2 on Autodesk Stingray. However, during the development, the game engine got discontinued, leaving the developers with no support. In a past post on X, Johan Pilestedt, the Chief Creative Officer of Arrowhead, revealed that the developers worked hard despite the game engine’s shutdown.
This is true. Our crazy engineers had to do everything, with no support to build the game to parity with other engines.
And yes. The project started before it was discontinued. [Hidden Content]
— Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) February 21, 2024
The game was released in February 2024, six years after official support ended. It is remarkable that the studio was able to create a game like this out of a game engine that has been officially declared dead by its developers. The game gained so much popularity initially that the developers had to ask players to stop playing the game because of server issues, but that completely backfired.
Fatshark is another Swedish video game developer that is keeping Autodesk Stingray alive even today. The studio has developed games like Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 on this discontinued game engine.
Helldivers 2‘s future is looking bright
More Illuminate units will be added to the game soon (Image via Arrowhead Game Studios)
The use of the Autodesk Stingray game engine is one of the main reasons why the game looks and feels so different from its competitors. It’s hard to believe that the game lost 90% of its player base on Steam at one point, all thanks to Sony’s PSN account linking policy. Thankfully, Arrowhead was able to recover from that disaster and changed its strategy to save the game.
Thanks to constant updates, the game is once again one of the most popular co-op video games in the world. The studio has a lot of content lined up for 2025, so don’t be shocked if Helldivers 2 wins the Best Multiplayer Game award once again.

Forza Horizon 5 On PS5 Will Require A Microsoft Account To Play
Forza Horizon 5 On PS5 Will Require A Microsoft Account To Play
Abear216d ago (Edited 6d ago )
Typical M$ offering FOMO early access for a game that’s years old, this tells you everything you need to know.
To that point, it is likely that the lowest amount of dollars possible were spent porting this and optimizing it. These greedy corpo’s aren’t even offering a physical release so they can control the price and it keeps costs down too.
If this runs flawlessly on PS5 and Pro and takes advantage of Dualsense I’ll be shocked—but also still not paying full price for a release so old and definitely not preordering. All M$ releases come in hot and buggy day one on their own console.
I do recognize it is possible this will be a great port—it is M$’s only shot at a first impression for a Sony port. Do they care? It will be hilarious and SO M$ if they do F it up, get your popcorn ready, this should be an easy slam dunk for them but all M$ does it blow the layup.
Still, I’ll be voting with my wallet and likely playing this around the holidays when it’s fully patched and half price.

‘There is No Correct Route’: Atomfall Dev Talks Bringing its World to Life
Push Square: “We’ll need to play Atomfall natively on PS5 before we can critique its other potential qualities, but what seems to be set in stone is the gripping mystery at its core. In the 90 minutes we got to play, uncovering new leads to chase was the clear highlight as we found fresh characters to pick the brains of and locations our map was missing. It was a thoroughly enjoyable process, which when drawn out over the course of a full game full of dead ends and story reveals, appears primed to result in one of 2025’s narrative highlights.”

Scotland hand Wales 16th successive rugby Test defeat
Fullback Blair Kinghorn and centre Tom Jordan have scored two tries apiece as Scotland claimed a frenetic 35-29 bonus-point Six Nations victory over Wales at Murrayfield to inflict a record-extending 16th loss in a row on the visitors.
Scotland keep their slim championship hopes alive with the five-try victory on Saturday as they move to 11 points from their four games, five points behind leaders France, who they face in Paris on March 15.
Wing Darcy Graham also crossed for the home side, who were superb in the first half to build a 28-8 lead, but the game became scrappy and loose in the second ******* and Scotland were unable to find the same continuity.
Wales scored four tries via fullback Blair Murray, centres Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn, and lock Teddy Williams, and will rue some naive play in the opening half that preceded a much improved performance in the second from a Welsh side being looked after by interim coach Matt Sherratt.

“Major releases of console games in the nine-month ******* ended December 31, 2019 included “DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition” and Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions of FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster.” Net sales declined versus the same ******* for the previous year, when a high hurdle was set by the release of a major new title”
I’m aware that FFXIV & DQX expansions helped revenue greatly, but I was referring to standalone releases that Square Enix would consider to be major.
I also know DQW did well, but still this is Square Enix we’re talking about. It says a lot when an AR game is being held up over more traditional releases on consoles.

*** hails *********** consideration of Ukraine troops
*** Prime Minister Keir Starmer has welcomed a commitment from Australia to “consider contributing to a coalition of the willing for Ukraine,” Downing Street says.
Starmer had a call with his *********** counterpart Anthony Albanese on Saturday, the latest in a series of conversations Starmer has had as the United Kingdom continues its diplomatic push for a peace deal in Ukraine.
The *** and France have been seeking to build a coalition of countries willing to defend an agreement.
A readout of the conversation from a Downing Street spokesperson said: “The prime minister began by expressing his support for all Australians affected by the cyclone and paid tribute to the strength of the partnership between the two countries.
“He welcomed Prime Minister Albanese’s commitment to consider contributing to a coalition of the willing for Ukraine and looked forward to the chiefs of defence meeting in Paris on Tuesday.
“The prime minister also reiterated the ***’s commitment to the AUKUS programme.
“The leaders agreed to stay in touch.”
Officials from about 20 largely European and Commonwealth countries took part in the talks about the peacekeeping coalition earlier this week.
Not all the countries interested in the plan would necessarily provide troops to a peacekeeping force but they could potentially contribute in other ways.
Starmer phone call with the *********** leader comes after the *** prime minister spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron to “compare notes” on their work towards a peace deal.

Nvidia RTX 5090’s 16-pin power connector hits 150C in reviewer’s thermal camera shots
Nvidia RTX 5090’s 16-pin power connector hits 150C in reviewer’s thermal camera shots
Some thermal imagery shared on Twitter/X underlines how toasty-hot power connectors servicing Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards can get. Veteran hardware reviewer Andreas Schilling, an editor at Germany’s Hardware Luxx, took thermal photos of his water-cooled graphics card.
While the GPU barely broke a sweat, the power connectors could be seen “cooking at 150+ degrees.” That’s Celsius, and for those unfamiliar with metric units, 150 degrees Celsius equates to just over 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Though reviewers at Tom’s Hardware haven’t experienced dangerously hot 12V-2×6 cable connectors first-hand, reports indicate this issue can affect anyone—from seasoned hardware veterans to budding enthusiasts. In previous generations and with earlier iterations of the 16-pin connector, there was often a nagging doubt about ‘user error, ‘ but we seem to be fully past that notion now. We must face up to the problem that RTX 5090 power cables may be doomed to burn.
While doing some thermal imaging of a graphics card and reviewing the images, I noticed, that the camera picked up a hotspot at the PSU. The 12V-2×6 cable was cooking at 150+ degrees. This is no joke and will forever remain a weak point of this generation(s). pic.twitter.com/qTMfgTwUr0March 7, 2025
Schilling provided some background information on the thermal imagery he shared. The graphics card he was testing was a liquid-cooled Inno3D RTX 5090 Frostbite, and one of the images clearly shows the pipe fittings. The PSU in this PC build was a be quiet! Dark Power 13 and Schilling confirmed that the GPU pulled 600W during tests.
The Hardware Luxx editor sounds like he has run out of patience with Nvidia’s graphics card power connector(s) choice. “The 12V-2×6 cable was cooking at 150+ degrees,” he observed, backed up by the thermography. “This is no joke and will forever remain a weak point of this generation(s).”
This power connection “will forever remain a weak point”
Prompted by social media interest in the visuals, Schilling added some extra details. He said the cabling looked like it was still for now, despite the high temperatures seen. “But you can see that they have been subjected to thermal stress. I have zero trust in that solution of any kind,” blasted the reviewer.
Later, Schilling recalled that the PSU-to-cabling mating cycles were still very low, “a handful.” However, the connector might have been plugged and unplugged “several hundred” times on the GPU side. That second figure seems well beyond the 12V-2×6 connector’s “mating cycle life of 30 cycles,” mentioned by Corsair. The images show the unexpectedly high temperatures on both sides—the graphics card and PSU connections.
Get Tom’s Hardware’s best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox.
Before we go, it is important to remember that thermal cameras measure surface temperatures so that things could be far hotter inside the plastic connectors. Schilling didn’t see actual melting during his later inspections but said there was evidence of some thermal stress. We expect the 12V-2×6 connector to use the same Nylon 66 and LCP housing as per 12VHPWR specs. The former has a melting point of 255 degrees Celsius (491 degrees Fahrenheit), and the latter melts above 335 degrees Celsius (635 degrees Fahrenheit).
Thankfully, Schilling’s power connectors must not have quite reached these thresholds inside, but extended testing and use of this build – without changes – sounds like it could be hazardous.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Has Turned Hans Capon Into a Superstar Streamer in One Month
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Has Turned Hans Capon Into a Superstar Streamer in One Month
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was released little more than a month ago, storming up the charts and becoming known far and wide as a contender for many Game of the Year awards. It stunned players with its depth, visual splendour, and intense realism, and with a dense roadmap ahead, the game has plenty of life left in its medieval lungs.
Since Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 hit the market, one of the game’s most prolific actors, Luke ‘LordHansCapon’ Dale, has positively exploded. He has become a superstar streamer in a matter of weeks, pulling in and retaining an audience and securing solid accolades in no time at all.
Content Fit for a Lord
Luke Dale portrays Hans Capon in the Kingdom Come universe, and he’s front and centre as the game kicks off, with many of the second title’s most pivotal moments revolving around his existence. In the first game, which dropped back in 2018, he was someone to be hated, but in KCD2, he’s a lovable rogue who you’ll go to great lengths to keep safe.
In the days that followed the launch of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on February 4, Dale kickstarted a streaming campaign that saw his popularity levels skyrocket across Twitch and YouTube.
In January 2025, the talented actor streamed the first Kingdom Come title in anticipation of the follow-up, netting a peak viewer count of around 350 viewers. Little more than two weeks later, he was picking up peak figures of 20,000 viewers. In one post on social media, Dale revealed he was in the 0.01% of streamers on Twitch by numbers alone.
Dang. I’m in the top 0.01% of streamers in the world
Shall we get to number 1? @KaiCenat I’m coming for you bro
It didn’t end there, though.
Luke Dale, who went so far as to get a Kingdom Come tattoo while live, went from 32,000 subscribers on YouTube when the game dropped to 102,000 subscribers at the time of writing. He racked up 15,000 followers on Twitch in around two weeks and managed to secure a Twitch Partner spot after streaming Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 just eight times.
Before 2025, he’d streamed just three times, according to StreamsCharts. That’s one hell of a hot streak.
It helps that Dale is genuinely a nice guy with a penchant for performing, and his role as Hans Capon in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is fantastic and bursting with clippable, quality sequences.
If you want to follow Luke Dale’s latest streams, you can find him on YouTube or Twitch.
