Not much info here but I wonder if these were some sort of fake NES/SNES/Mega Drive minis or just handheld emulation devices in general

I was wondering if shipping SD cards full of ROMs would ever come to bite the manufacturers in the ass and I guess it might have. Will this be a one-off thing or a sign of a wider EU crackdown? I think there was a warning earlier issued by some agency this month about how the solder in one of the Anbernic devices exceeded EU's maximum lead levels

Edit: There's a video of the Italian cops' raid on the warehouse where the devices were being held, looks like a large variety of different devices

The Romans were such jerks to wipe out the Etruscans. An obviously influential civilization that we know too little about because (if we believe the Roman accounts) Rome punched them to smithereens.

They didn't wipe out Etruscans. Even Etruscan culture was incredibly similar to Roman to begin with. Hell you can even say that Roman culture was a product of Etruscan influence, Romans taken from Etruscans basically everything. There's even theory that Rome literally was founded by Etruscans. And then the card swiched, Etruscans assimilated into broad Latin culture, but they are still there, the people of modern Tuscany are their direct descendants.
