In March 2021, a Tesla shareholder had sued Elon Musk over his “erratic” tweets.

In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman explains that Apple’s headset could cost upwards of $2,000, potentially making it one of the most expensive Apple devices. Interestingly, the Apple Glass name was previously mentioned by leaker Jon Prosser, although Gurman himself dismissed the idea, stating that Apple would not use the same name as a failed product like Google Glass. Gurman believes that Apple Vision is the most likely contender, with Apple Reality not far behind. Apple Sight and Apple Lens could be possible, he believes, but you shouldn’t bet on names like Apple Goggles, Apple AR, or Apple VR, mainly because they might pigeonhole the device and its future capabilities.

Following Intel’s decision to remove software guard extension (SGX) compatibility for 12th-gen Alder Lake processors, the company’s latest chips will no longer be capable of playing 4K Blu-ray discs. In addition to removing support for Alder Lake silicon, Intel has also removed the ability to playback Blu-ray discs for its 11th-gen processors. Bleeping Computer points out that the inability to play Blu-ray content is associated with such discs requiring Digital Rights Management (DRM), which uses SGX in order to function. With this in mind, those who wish to use Blu-ray discs on a system with an Intel processor will require a CPU from the 7000, 8000, 9000, or 10000 ranges.

In a viral TikTok video, one user made her friends sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA) before she shared gossip, causing controversy in the comments.“Spilled a lot of tea at dinner today so I had my friends sign NDAs,” TikTok user @breezyqbaby wrote in the text overlay of the video. Several users in the comments questioned why she’s requiring her friends to sign NDAs.“If you need friends to sign nda why are they still your friends!

Sri Lanka, through repeated cycles of borrowing since 2007, has piled up $11.8 billion worth of through sovereign bonds (ISB), which makes up the largest part - or 36.4% - of its external debt. Some experts believe Sri Lanka should restructure its debt and establish a three-year repayment structure."Sri Lanka is unreasonably committed to repaying its debt. Fitch estimates the Sri Lankan central bank will also need to arrange for $2.4 billion to help state-owned and private firms in the country honour the debt obligations they have in 2022, over and above the $4.5 billion central government debt.

BELGRADE, Serbia — Novak Djokovic, undone in his quest for a 10th Australian Open tennis championship by his decision to remain unvaccinated against Covid-19, returned on Monday to the warm embrace of his home nation of Serbia even as his future in the sport was shrouded in uncertainty. He landed in Belgrade a day after being deported from Australia following a decision by the Australian government to revoke his visa out of concern that he might inspire anti-vaccination sentiment. As he slipped out a private exit at Nikola Tesla International Airport in Belgrade to avoid a crowd of waiting reporters, nearly two weeks of legal wrangling, political posturing and intense media focus came to a rather subdued end. The few dozen supporters who made their way to the airport waved flags, chanted their support for Mr. Djokovic and complained that their hero had been mistreated.

PARIS — Éric Zemmour, the anti-immigrant far-right pundit who is running in France’s presidential elections, was convicted on Monday on charges of inciting racial hatred after saying on television in 2020 that unaccompanied child migrants were “thieves,” “rapists,” and “assassins.”Mr. Zemmour, who had stood by his comments and said courts should not police political speech, was fined 10,000 euros, or $11,400, by a criminal court in Paris. The verdict represented the third conviction and fine for Mr. Zemmour, who has a long history of incendiary comments, mostly about immigration, over the past decade, though he has been acquitted on other occasions. Mr. Zemmour has repeatedly run afoul of French laws that punish defamation or acts provoking hatred or violence on the basis of race, religion and other factors over the past decade, and he still faces several trials on similar charges.

Kenya Power, which has a monopoly in power distribution in Kenya, had 8.3 million accounts as at June 2021. With many working from home and in other places without backup power such as solar systems, Kenyans vented their anger at Kenya Power over the blackout. Looking to find out about the power outage, Kenyans mistakenly followed Twitter accounts belonging to journalists at a Louisiana TV station called KPLC that shares a name with the initials of Kenya Power (the power distributor’s full name is Kenya Power and Lighting Company). The last countrywide power outage in Kenya happened in May 2020, when part of a high-voltage power line broke.

The executive, who came to Credit Suisse after spending a decade at Lloyds, was “the right mix of diplomacy and toughness” to bring stability to a faltering firm that had ousted one of the few Black CEOs in the business, Tidjane Thiam, following racism claims and a spying scandal. Last April, investment bank head Brian Chin and chief risk and compliance officer Lara Warner left after the meltdown of US-based hedge fund Archegos Capital Management, to which Credit Suisse was left badly exposed. It reshuffled significant parts of its management team last month, and starting Jan. 1, the group reorganized into four business divisions—wealth management, investment bank, Swiss bank, and asset management—and four geographic regions—EMEA, Americas, Switzerland and Asia-Pacific.“The irony of it is that Horta was hired to fix the reputational damage to Credit Suisse, and revamp its risk taking culture in the bank.”

In lossless compression, the file size of an image is reduced, but the quality remains the same. Although it can create very high-quality images, JPEG can be disadvantageous in that it's a lossy compression format. Using the example photo, the PNG doesn't look any better than the high-quality JPEG, though it's important to remember that lossless compression will maintain the quality of the photo over multiple decompressions and recompressions. Again, these lossless image files are quite a bit larger than JPEG or GIF formats, but they retain a great deal more information.

A dedicated game mode improves the tablet's gaming performance by turning off the background tasks. Most Android games run flawlessly, but you might have to reduce the graphics if you're playing graphic-intensive games. Tablets are great for gaming because they are packed with powerful chipsets and offer better, more comprehensive, high-resolution screens that make gaming more fun. It is enough to have 4GB RAM for most games, but if you want to play more demanding games, you should get a tablet with at least 6GB RAM.

Air quality monitors are devices that measure pollution levels in the air. An air quality monitor measures the amount of pollution in the air and sends the information to a handheld device or computer. You'll also want an air quality monitor that can simultaneously track multiple pollutants in the air. These monitors usually require professional installation and monitoring, but they do offer real-time updates on the local air quality levels in your area.

The Zacks Earnings ESP is more formally known as the Expected Surprise Prediction, and it aims to grab the inside track on the latest analyst estimate revisions ahead of a company's report. The ESP is calculated by comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with the percentage difference between the two giving us the Zacks ESP figure. When we join a positive earnings ESP with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or stronger, stocks posted a positive bottom-line surprise 70% of the time. Use the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter to turn up stocks with the highest probability of positively, or negatively, surprising to buy or sell before they're reported for profitable earnings season trading.

A safer approach could be investing in bargain stocks with recent price momentum. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system) helps identify great momentum stocks by paying close attention to trends in a stock's price or earnings, our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced. Given this price performance, it is no surprise that PSX has a Momentum Score of A, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.

If employees are taking advantage of a generous company policy or a manager makes a poor decision, it can be easy for volcanic types to fire off a companywide memo making sweeping changes and/or expressing exasperation, but doing so before hearing all relevant information and taking time to calm your nerves isn’t wise. Learning the people, places and things that calm you best is instrumental to using this 24-hour cool down period well. If you practice the things that calm you during the above-mentioned cool-down periods, you’ll be able to find inner calm in these key moments as well. Rather than beating yourself up for being rash, take the time to reflect on how things went in a certain scenario and make a plan for how you might like to approach them differently next time, and be kind to yourself in the process.

The wealth of the 10 richest men in the world has grown so much during the coronavirus pandemic that even a one-time 99% tax on their gains would be able to pay for the production of all the COVID-19 vaccines the world needs and more, according to the charity Oxfam. Highlighting the vast wealth disparity that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, Oxfam noted that the wealth of the world's 10 richest men more than doubled to $1.5 trillion from $700 billion from March 2020 to November 2021. According to Oxfam's calculations, a one-time 99% windfall tax on the gains in fortunes of the 10 richest men would able be to pay for the manufacture of the world's COVID-19 vaccines."All this, while still leaving these men $8 billion better off than they were before the pandemic," Oxfam noted in its report.

Red Forman from That 70s Show said "It's called work, not Super Happy Fun Time."And then he got laid off from the plant and had to work in a grocery store. The thing about work is that it doesn't have to be as bad as it is for a lot of people. Here are some exhaustingly relatable memes about work.

Around January 17, the Galaxy S21 FE saw the January update as the phone’s very first public software update, with the patch rolling out first in the US. Around January 13, Samsung began rolling out the January 2022 update to its Galaxy A52s 5G in France alongside the Android 12 update. Samsung’s first Galaxy Note with the January 2022 security update was the Galaxy Note 10, and its siblings, the Galaxy Note 10+ and Note 10+ 5G. As you might expect, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 were among the first Samsung foldables to get the January 2022 update, with the update arriving alongside Android 12 updates for some in the United States.

However, it seems some recent updates have spurred up an issue with some Google Keep owners who are seeing numbered lists repeat numbers unexpectedly. Noted on Google’s forums by a handful of users over the past two months, this issue duplicates numbers in lists, as pictured below. When adding a new item to a numbered list or navigating through the list, the item above apparently adds these extra numbers. The numbered list issue seems tied only to the Google Keep app on Android, and also seems to be correlating to Android 12 updates specifically on Samsung devices.

This is coming from many sectors too… from crypto spaces, like at Coinbase, where leadership at that centralized company is strategizing how to honor the decentralized and distributed products it promotes by fostering those technologies and values throughout the company. Steve Smith, the CEO of the Zayo, a company that serves its customers with the fibre bandwidth they need to achieve their mission, however discovered that decentralization is not a silver bullet for growth and for serving customers.“This had become, over 15 years, a very decentralized distributed company,” Smith said. With this strategy, Smith is creating new structures that will allow Zayo to listen to customers and industry leaders on a continual basis to learn what they really need and then deliver that to them.

But new players, or players returning from long breaks, are at a severe disadvantage in terms of leveling relative to the enemies, and are effectively stuck in an unending loop of getting their space-butts handed to them. Enter “Operation Save the New Lights.” Veteran Destiny players discovered that by intentionally donning low-level gear, they could drop their in-game Light Level to a point that mimics someone playing Destiny 2 for the first time. The veteran players quickly departed, presumably to find more New Lights to rescue. Matchmade activities in Destiny 2 are often played like speedruns, as players try to squeeze as many attempts and rewards into the shortest times possible.

And if you’re already streaming live TV on Roku via one of the half-dozen or so options, you’re good to go, since NBC is on all the major streaming services. One big caveat here — the local broadcast channels that are available on any given streaming service can vary depending on where you live. Hulu With Live TV, which is the most popular streaming service in the United States with around 4 million paid subscribers is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a new streaming service on which to watch Super Bowl 2022. If Hulu With Live TV just isn’t your jam, another excellent option is Sling TV, and it may well be the most economical.

A video showing a woman tipping her Instacart driver in cash has garnered 286,300 views on TikTok, prompting a discussion about tipping through the grocery delivery app.“I tip very well in cash but when they see that zero tip on the app I have a feeling a lot of them deny the order,” the commenter wrote. However, @blanquitaflorr said she tipped both in-app and in cash, so that her order would be selected and her shopper wouldn’t be taxed on their full tip. One Instacart driver explained why they like cash tips, stating “As someone who does instacart i love cash tip better then tips on the app sometimes they take money from us when we refund a few items due to outstock.”

had announced the move in November, blaming the high fees charges for processing credit card transactions. Credit card fees have been a growing source of tension between Amazon and Visa. Last year, Amazon started charging customers in Australia and Singapore who use Visa credit cards a 0.5% surcharge. In any credit card transaction, there are a number of fees involved, such as an interchange fee that the shopper's bank pays to the retailer's bank and other costs like service and technology charges.

Warning that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over and Omicron would not be the last variant, global health experts on Monday said a lot would depend on transmissibility and severity of the next mutants of the deadly virus. He is Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and serves as one of the key advisers to the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services on global AIDS issues, and on initiatives to bolster medical and public health preparedness. The emergence of its fast-spreading Omicron variant, resulting in reintroduction of national lockdowns, travel bans and quarantines in various parts of the world, has reinforced the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) had declared the outbreak a 'public health emergency of concern' on January 30, 2020, and a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

Back then, the only way that I could connect with my Indian heritage was internally when I was spending time at home with my dad; I wanted to be more Australian and less Indian. There was a time when I denying my Indian heritage and that part of my cultural identity and it took me a while to have courage to stand for leadership roles and look for ways to contribute. We have to ensure that we provide research and policy advice to both the Indian and Australian governments, for the future, to tackle such crisis situations should they occur again. It has been incredibly tough for Indian students in Australia during the pandemic.I have also had the privilege of visiting the home of legendary Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai a few years back and discussed with him opportunities for Bollywood in Australia. Countries such as the US, Canada and the UK have gone a long way to enable members of the Indian diaspora to rise to leadership roles in public life and we in Australia need to learn from there about policy mechanisms to ensure better representation. Australia has a newer diaspora and we still have a long way to go and I don’t see young Indian Australian coming into public life and politics at the Australian federal parliament level.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Sebastian Korda spent his first week of a long-awaited trip to Australia far from the summer sunshine he imagined: After testing positive for coronavirus upon landing in the country, Korda was quarantined in a hotel room in Adelaide, hitting a ball against the headboard of his bed. Though one unfortunate carom off the ceiling left Korda doubled over in pain, the weeklong confinement would not contain his growing talent: In his first match of the year, Korda comprehensively defeated 12th-seeded Cameron Norrie of Britain, 6-3, 6-0, 6-4, in a first-round match at the Australian Open’s new Kia Arena. It was the first main draw match here for Korda, 21, who won the Australian Open boys’ title four years ago. Korda skipped the Open last year, opting to play a small tournament in France, which he won to break into the top 100 for the first time.

Three people were killed in Abu Dhabi on Monday when several fuel tankers exploded in a possible drone strike, according to state-run media and local authorities in the United Arab Emirates.A minor fire also broke out in the Abu Dhabi International Airport, raising the possibility that it too was the target of a drone strike. The police in Abu Dhabi said there were indications that “small flying objects, possibly belonging to drones” started the fires, one of which led to the explosion of the three petroleum gas tankers in an industrial district in southwestern Abu Dhabi near storage tanks for the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. The attack came amid a recent escalation of tensions between the Houthis and the Saudi-led forces in Yemen, which have been at war since 2015.

MANILA — The Philippines Commission on Elections on Monday threw out a petition to disqualify Ferdinand Marcos Jr. from the May presidential election, one of several efforts to keep the son of the former dictator, Ferdinand E. Marcos, off the ballot. The petitioners claimed that the younger Mr. Marcos was not fit to run for president because he had earlier been convicted by a local court for failing to file his tax returns in the 1980s. According to various surveys, Mr. Marcos is leading in the race despite several groups seeking to quash his candidacy. Mr. Marcos, 64, popularly known as Bongbong, has previously been a governor, a congressman and a senator in the Philippines.

The United States and allies are prepared to discuss with Russia in talks about Ukraine the possibility of each side restricting military exercises and missile deployments in the region, a senior U.S. administration official said on Saturday. With crucial talks set to start on Monday in Geneva, the senior Biden administration official said the United States is not willing to discuss limits on U.S. troop deployments or the U.S. force posture in NATO countries in the region.“Russia says it feels threatened by the prospect of the United States deploying offensive missile systems in Ukraine, even though Biden has assured Putin he has no intention of doing so. The United States is also willing to discuss restrictions by both sides on military exercises, the official said.

Terming the assault on a Sikh taxi driver at the JFK International Airport as “deeply disturbing”, India’s Consulate General here said that it has taken up the matter with the US authorities and urged them to investigate the incident. An undated 26-second video uploaded by Navjot Pal Kaur on Twitter on January 4, showed a man assaulting the Sikh taxi driver outside the airport.A bystander recorded an unidentified man attacking a Sikh taxi driver, ultimately knocking off the driver’s turban. In 2017, a 25-year-old Sikh cab driver in New York was assaulted and his turban knocked off by drunk passengers.

Ambulances in Kansas speed toward hospitals then suddenly change direction because hospitals are full. Airport officials shut down security checkpoints at the biggest terminal in Phoenix and schools across the nation struggle to find teachers for their classrooms. Dr. Steve Stites, chief medical officer for the University of Kansas Hospital, said when the leader of a rural hospital had no place to send its dialysis patients this week, the hospital’s staff consulted a textbook and “tried to put in some catheters and figure out how to do it.”“To have this model where there are so many teachers out and for the department to say, ‘Send your kid’ to a classroom that doesn’t have a teacher, what’s the point of that?”

She added that the company was ordering only as many tests as employees were demanding, and that they were facing shortages: “Those tests, man, those home tests are so hard to get.”The Biden administration has stepped up its efforts to make tests more broadly available and affordable, requiring insurer reimbursement for tests, invoking the Defense Production Act and announcing plans to ship 500 million tests to Americans. BlackRock, which has more than 7,600 U.S. employees and has extended its work-from-home flexibility through Jan. 28, offers its staff up to one at-home PCR testing kit each week, up to six monthly at-home antigen kits for employees or their family members exposed to COVID, and telehealth supervision for self-administered rapid tests needed for international travel, an option begun over the December holidays. Google gives employees 10 tests with the Cue Health reader, and will cover the cost of up to 20 more test cartridges per employee each month.

At least 129 House members and senators have announced a coronavirus infection since the outset of the pandemic, nearly one-quarter of the lawmakers in Congress.“I see people — members, staff — without masks,” the House sergeant-at-arms, William J. Walker, a former District of Columbia National Guard commander, said this week. House Democrats on Wednesday rushed out new legislation to provide free at-home coronavirus tests while Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., reintroduced his bill to send N95 masks to every home. House Republican leaders forced Democrats to vote on a procedural motion to ensure that service members discharged for refusing to be vaccinated would not lose their GI Bill benefits.

“We’ve been warning for weeks and months, both publicly and privately, that cyberattacks could be part of a broad-based Russian effort to escalate in Ukraine,” Sullivan said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” noting Russia’s long history of using cyber weapons against Ukraine’s power grid, government ministries and commercial firms. But Sullivan said it was important first to get a definitive finding on the source of the attack, when pressed on whether the United States would begin to invoke financial and technological sanctions if Russia’s attacks were limited to cyberspace, rather than a physical invasion. Sullivan said that the United States had been working with Ukraine to harden its systems and US networks if the string of ransomware and other attacks from Russia accelerates in the United States. An attack on Ukraine’s Central Election Commission during a presidential election in 2014, in which Russia sought unsuccessfully to change the result, proved to be a model for the Russian intelligence agencies; the United States later found that they had infiltrated the servers of the Democratic National Committee in the United States.
