Johnstown license center to be open on set days for those looking to apply for Real ID's
The center, located at 563 Walters Ave., is not typically open on Monday but will be from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on March 24, April 14, and May 5 to help verify and image documents for those looking for a Real ID. While getting a Real ID is optional in Pennsylvania, beginning May 7, Pennsylvanians will need a Real ID-complaint license or another form of federally acceptable identification to board domestic commercial flights, enter a military base or enter certain federal facilities that require a federally acceptable form of ID.
'The enforcement start date for the federal Real ID program is just over a month away and I don't want anyone to be caught off guard, which is why I'm encouraging anyone interested in getting a Real ID to consider visiting the Johnstown Driver License Center on one of these days to have their documents verified and scanned into the system,' Burns said. 'After doing that, a person can expect to receive their Real ID in the mail in about 15 business days.'
The Real ID has a one-time fee of $30, and the expiration date on an initial Real ID product will include any remaining time on an individual's current non-Real ID driver's license or photo ID card.

Netanyahu says Gaza City will be sacked unless Hamas agrees to all of Israel's demands
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured Israelis Saturday night that he only plans to halt the take over Gaza City if Hamas agrees to all of the Jewish state's demands for ending the war — after the terror group seemed open to a partial cease-fire for the first time. 'We will agree to a deal on the condition that all the hostages are released in a single phase and in accordance with our terms for ending the war,' read the statement from Netanyahu's office. 7 Netanyahu said Israel is not interested in a partial deal. Ronen Zvulun/POOL/EPA/Shutterstock Those terms include the disarming of Hamas soldiers, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Israeli control of the Gaza perimeter, and the installation of non-Hamas and non-Palestinian Authority governance that will live in peace with the Jewish state, according to the prime minister. Netanyahu's comments come after reports that the terror group had backtracked on its position and sent a message to mediators in Cairo this week expressing readiness to agree on a 'partial deal' for the first time. 7 Hamas had previously said it was only willing to accept a comprehensive peace deal. REUTERS Previously, Hamas leaders had said they were only willing to settle for a full cease-fire deal, leading to the collapse of hostage talks in Qatar last month. The 'partial deal' reportedly involves the release of 10 living hostages, held in Hamas captivity for nearly 700 days, and 18 dead ones in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire and the release of Palestinian prisoners — a proposal that mirrors the US-backed Qatari deal first floated in May that the terror group balked at. There are 50 Israeli hostages still in Hamas captivity, about 20 of whom are believed to be alive. Hamas' about face was first reported by Israeli television Friday evening, citing a classified document it had received from Netanyahu. 7 People rallied on the eve of a national strike in Israel.

The showing comes ahead of a planned nationwide strike Sunday meant to protest the expansion of the war in Gaza. Einav Zangauker, mother of Hamas-held captive Matan Zangauker, said the strike was 'only the beginning.' 'We'll stop the country tomorrow for our lives here, for our children, for the state of Israel,' she told the crowd at the rally, the Times of Israel reported. 'We can't take any more.' 7 Thousands rallied in Tel Aviv calling for the release of the hostages and an end to the war. AP 'We've stopped waiting for Netanyahu to stop the war when it's convenient for him politically,' she added. 'We demand quiet, security, a future, and the end of the war.' 7 Hamas has expressed willingness for a partial cease-fire deal in Gaza for the first time this week. Meanwhile, fighting ramped up north of Tel Aviv as Israeli fighter jets struck a Hezbollah facility and a tunnel Friday belonging to the terror group in southern Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Forces reported. The IDF said the Hezbollah facility was a violation of the Israel-Lebanon cease-fire, which was ironed out in October 2024. 'We will not budge from our policy of maximum enforcement and will not allow threats to arise against the residents of the north and all citizens of Israel,' Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement. 7 Israeli fighter jets struck a Hezbollah facility and a tunnel in Lebannon Friday.

Man Used AI to Generate a Custom Tune for His BMW 335i
TikTok creator wyattwebsterrr might have just pulled off one of the wildest DIY tuning experiments yet. He recently bought a 2007 BMW 335i for $1,500. Of course, for that price, it wasn't perfect. It sat on 240,000 miles and needed a new transmission, which he paid just $200 for. Other than a straight-pipe exhaust, the BMW was completely stock. Then, he asked ChatGPT to write a custom tune. The result is a beater that would outrun a brand-new BMW 3 Series. Wyatt started with a simple question for ChatGPT: "Can you give me a custom tune for my 335i?" He then supplied the AI with details such as his ECU version, the fact that it has a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the type of turbos it was equipped with. In return, ChatGPT handed over a full custom tune file. Wyatt then used the MHD Tuning app to load the AI's creation straight onto the E90's ECU. Usually, this process would take hours, if not days, when working with a reputable tuner. But thanks to modern technology, it took just a few minutes. People love modifying 335i models because of the N54 engine that lives under the hood. From the factory, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six sends 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Although Wyatt has yet to release all the power figures, he posted a TikTok showing the tuned 335i's new driving experience. Boost pressure jumped to 19.3 psi. The exhaust, once relatively tame, now delivered loud burbles and pops that were impossible to ignore. The rear tyres broke traction much easier than before, and the BMW's 0 to 60 mph time dropped to just 5.17 seconds. That's a full second quicker than before, thanks to a tune written entirely by an AI. Professional tuners spend years learning how to safely squeeze more performance out of an engine, while accounting for wear and tear and long-term reliability. While ChatGPT might be able to make a high-mileage BMW faster, there's always the risk of something breaking. Still, for a cheap 335i and a viral TikTok clip, it is hard to argue that this wasn't worth the gamble. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
